Slowly, he lifted a finger to her hair, stroking it. Sylvie kept her weeping gaze lowered to the floor.

"I do hope you can forgive me." He cooed. "I wasn't so wrong for loving you, was I?"

Moments passed. Sylvie was still weeping.

Using his fingers, he wiped the tears from her face.

"I... I don't know what to say." She whimpered.

She couldn't imagine how difficult it must've been for him, loving someone who didn't feel the same way about him. And that was the truth.

Sylvie had never really loved Kage. He was handsome, dreamy, but she'd only seen him as a bully who hurt her. Nothing

more.

She was always harsh towards him, just as he was. And it wasn't until a few weeks ago that her heart started fluttering every time she saw him.

Seconds passed between them. She was torn with indecision. But it all changed when Kage pressed his lips against hers. Then slowly, he captured her tongue.

Electricity seemed to course between them, seizing all the breaths from Sylvie's chest.

And right there, she realized she'd been wrong. It was months ago when she started seeing him differently. Which was the reason on that very night-the night she claimed he raped her it was somewhat different. She hadn't exactly tried to fight him off. He'd been drunk, and there was no way she couldn't have overpowered him if she wanted. But a part of her had been reluctant, and that part of her willingly gave herself to him. Heat coursed through her as Kage kissed her hurriedly. She kissed him back without thinking, sending her fingers into his

hair.

God, it was the best kiss she'd ever had. Kage tasted of mint and cola. She didn't want it to end.

He sent his hand to her waist, moving it slightly until it was touching her baby bump. That was when she moaned so deeply.

It was the first time he was touching it, and it was the best feeling ever.

Then, in a second, her senses snapped back. She jumped away from the kiss, her fingers brushing against her soft, wet lips. She looked She at Kage, her

his eyes hungry for more. But Sylvie stepped back.

"I'm sorry, I... I have to go." She hurriedly left before he could do anything to stop her.

As expected, Sylvie couldn't get a wink of sleep through the night. Kage's confession and the kiss kept messing with her head, making her toss endlessly. She woke up feeling slightly feverish but stayed in her room all morning. She couldn't afford to go out and see him. Chapter 72
