Seth is back. Kane had booked a table at the Neon Nights to celebrate his retum. Neon Nights is a club
owned by the Hudsons. It was more private compared to Luther’s Skye Hotel. Kane chose this place
out of courtesy to Kane’s career, and to avoid the stalking paparazzi’s,
It was a family night. There was only Kane, Seth, Luther, and Sage present, and the four of them had
not met each other for some time.
“Congratulations for making out of the mountains alive! How did it go this time?” Luther raised his glass
and asked Seth.
Seth took a sip off his glass and replied, “It’s alright. The condition was a little poorer than expected I
need to get used to the city again after one whole year in the mountains.”

Seth was an actor and an award-winning movie star. He had won all the mainstream local awards
around, as well as a few international awards. He made the country proud, and his fanbase grew all
over the world.
As an actor who was both good-looking and extremely talented, he could sit down and have breakfast
and that could be filmed into a documentary.
Seth dressed rather casually today as it was a family event. He wore a white hooded sweatshirt with
black striped pants. His modelesque physique and bright smile had easily stolen the hearts of many
young ladies.
All but one woman was focused on her food and not a single word came out of her mouth.
“What happened to our little kitter? Why are you so moody tonight?” asked Seth.
Luther snapped his fingers at Sage and teased, “Aren’t you glad Seth is back?”
“Well of course I am! Stop doing that.” Sage looked up and swished her wine glass, and raised it
towards Seth, “Welcome back, brother. Cheers to you.”.
She tipped the glass and finished it all.
Seth looked at his dear sister and knew she was hidin something in her heart. He did not ask further,
he knew she would tell him when the time came.
Kane on the other hand did not seem to realize something was going on with Sage. He asked Seth,
‘Weren’t you in Cloud Forest shooting a movie?”
Sage felt a cold breeze of air as the phrase Cloud Forest was mentioned. She looked up alerted, and
asked, “You went to Cloud Forest?”
Others might not know, but all of her brothers knew what Cloud Forest meant to Sage.
Seth glared at Kane. Kane said, “Stop looking at me. You can’t hide that forever! She’d know eventually
once your movie comes out.”
Sage bit her lips.
She had known Seth was cast by Lougre, the famous director. It was a movie about the military, and for
a realistic effect, it had to take place in the actual setting. She did not know when Seth said he would
be in the mountains, he actually meant Cloud Forest.
That was the place Sage was kidnapped when she was fourteen. That was also where she met Jace
for the first time.
Seth looked at Sage’s pale face and comforted her, “I had to hide it from you because I knew how you
felt about that place. After all these years, the trauma you felt was intense and I didn’t want to trigger it.”
“It’s fine, really,” Sage replied as she sunk lower into her seat.
