Nine months too late: After divorce by Baby Charlene

Chapter 74

Eventually, the thoughts of Lancelot and Lana left her mind, leading her back to the fact that her life was a mess.

When she left the bar-without getting a drink-she couldn't think of going home. Westley's place wasn't an option either, she still wasn't comfortable around him.

She drove to the bridge, parked her car somewhere, and walked on foot down the bridge. Somehow, staring at the water gave her peace.

Her phone rang in her back pocket, but she couldn't pick it up, knowing it was Kage. He'd been calling for a long time now. Probably, he was home and wondering where she went. Home. She needed to leave 'home.'

Since she was through with her contract with Kage, perhaps it'd be best if she left the country as planned. She tried not to think of her father and the fact that he might get kicked out of the One Trillion Group. Hell, if his company gets shut down like the Hawkins were threatening, he won't even have a business to fall back on.

It was best she left. The thought tormented her, but she had to start putting her babies first.

Kage and Lana would be married by the weekend. Although his words the previous night had changed the way she felt about him, it didn't change the fact that it was too late for them. She and Kage... they could never be together.

Sylvie found a bench to sit on, close to the beach. She could still see the waters. She stayed there for a long time, until she wasn't alone anymore. Kage showed up.

She was almost surprised, until she remembered he still had her followed. That was probably how he'd gotten to know where she was.

I was crazy that she was always being followed by a guard.

"Hey! I've been calling and texting! You got me almost worried!" He wasn't pleased.

Looking at

at him now, her heart ached. Kage was truly handsome. If she had known better, she'd have appreciated him more when they were married. When he was still hers. She looked away, willing her tears to go back. "I needed to be alone."

Seconds sed, then then Kage sat next to her.

The proximity was almost killing Sylvie. She couldn't do this.

"I heard what happened to your father," he began.

Yes, you heard right. It was done by your family, thanks-she almost said aloud.
