Nine months too late: After divorce by Baby Charlene

Chapter 97

She scanned her eyes around the room for any sign of danger, but the room looked clean enough. Her mind flashed to the pepper spray she had in her bag. She'd brought it in case the son of a ***h decided to try something s****d. "I hope you didn't have a hard time coming here?" Lancelot asked as he shut the door. The click of the door filled Sylvie with cold dread.

However, she held her head high as she faced him. "I hope this doesn't hurt your ego, but I'd rather not be here, Lancelot. So, if you don't mind, please tell me why I'm here."

A smirk was his reply - typical him.

He sniggered, going to pour himself a drink on the table.

"You know, it felt like I'd been asleep for ten years," he said with ease as he poured wine into his glass. "But thank goodness, not everyone seemed to have moved on."

Holding the glass in his hand, be leaned on the table, his gaze pinned on Sylvie as he took a sip..

"Who would've thought that you and Kage would ever get along?" He shifted his eyes to her bump. "I understand you being pregnant for him, but letting him love you?" His eyes darkened as he dragged them back to her face. "Don't you feel even a smidge of guilt? How can you be with him, knowing what you did?" Sylvie's eyes glistened, revealing both anguish and hatred.

"Are you really this b**, honey?"

"You're despicable," she ground out. "YOU did it, Lancelot. You're responsible for what happened. I was only used by you!"

"Seriously?" He scoffed. "You wanted revenge on the a***le and I helped you achieve it."

"You never told me it was Nuxine! You lied to me!"

"Well, we both didn't know Marilyn would be the one to drink it, did we?"

"But it doesn't change the fact that you lied to me! If I had known it was something as dangerous as Nuxine, I never would've gone along with it."

"Well, it doesn't change the fact that you injected it into the drink yourself, Sylvie."

His lips curled up in a smirk. "You can keep defending the truth with you flimsy excuses, but it doesn't change the fact that at the end of the day, you're guilty."

Pushing away from the table, he moved towards Sylvie until he was standing before her.

"What do

you

think Kage would do when he learns it was you who had injected Nuxine into his drink? You wanted to harm him but ended up killing his sister. Do you think he'll believe you're innocent even when you injected it yourself?"

He pushed the edge of the glass against her lips, wanting her to open up and have a taste. But Sylvie pressed her lips firmly, a hot rush of fury running through her.

She wished Rebecca had done one thing right and succeeded in killing him back then. A world without him would've been a much better one. 10:26 Mon, Oct 21 BB.

Seeing thad she wouldn't drink the wine, Lancelot chuckled and walked away, returning to the table,
