She paused, taking a deep breath. Turning around, she returned to her seat.

Minutes passed. Kage sighed deeply. "Fine," the words sounded heavy on his tongue. "You can stay... engaged to the scumbag. But I wouldn't wanna see him anywhere near my property

"Assuming I have to go out with him, you don't really expect me to walk all the way to the major road to meet up with him, do you? Hell here to drive in and out, but of course, he won't even come near your doorstep The mere thought of it infuriated Kage so much, he wanted to smash something in the wall.

"I'm saying this for your own good, Sylvie, 'cause who knows? I might end up shooting a leg. He leaned toward her and said. Sylvie glared hard at him.

"Secondly," she reclined in his seat. "You're not going to prevent me from going out at any time of the day. Don't forget, I'm an adult, not some schoolgirl under her uncle's watch. So, you must never treat me like one." To that. Kage said nothing. He had his hands crossed as he simply looked at her.

Thirdly," Sylvie looked away, a slight nervousness dancing in her eyes. "I'd like my personal space. You're never to come to my bedroom. or... make any unwanted moves on me.

Kage scoffed, then laughed. "You must think so highly of yourself. Anyway, you have nothing to worry about. If it wasn't for my father's will, I'd have not gotten involved with you in the first place, because you're not exactly my type. "Yet you cried your ass out when I chose Lancelot over you," she lashed out before she could stop herself. Kage had a wider smile as he leaned forward.

"Sylvie Price, I have never cried over a woman and never will. Like i said, you think too highly of yourself."

Sylvie met his gaze unwaveringly. With a smirk, he reclined back in his seat, "Go in and get your things. I don't have all the time in the world." Huffing, she left, returning to her lodge.

It was nightfall by the time she and Kage were finally settled in the house. He had taken her to a new apartment, one that was quite big and luxurious.

He showed her to his room, and pointed his to hers, just in case there was an emergency. Their rooms were very far apart, which was definitely a good thing.

Kage had already ordered a few dresses for her before they arrived. She was to use them for the meantime before she went for a proper shopping.

She freshened up and changed into something nice, then headed downstairs.

She found Kage in the living room, seeming dressed like he was ready to go out.

Syivie was wearing a big T-shirt, which was enough to cover her bump. She still didn't feel comfortable showing her bump. "Hi. Um... I'm hungry," she said to Kage, standing before him. He stood up. "I know. Let's go."

Sylvie stared at him in amusement as he headed for the door. "Hello? Where:

He paused. "To get food, what else? Or are you expecting it to fall right from the sky?"

"Maybe, not. But you didn't tell me we'd be going out."

Minutes later, Syivie and Kage were heading out to a restaurant he claimed he'd reserved for them. Syivie wondered how
