Chapter 100

The ladies turned to her with surprise in their eyes.

Yeah, they might be divorced, but a lot of people knew it was Kage she was pregnant for. Plus, Sylvie knew the manager. He was an acquaintance of Kage, and Kage was one of the major shareholders in the company. The manager's face paled. "Uh...I don't think there'll be any need for that, Ms. Sylvie. We could-" Astrid's nose flared. "Who the hell is her husband and who do you need to-"

"Kage Hawkins," Cindy interrupted with a smug smile. "The name sounds familiar?"

Astrid's friends gasped, unable to hide their surprise. The phones in their hands were from Fluxpoint.

Astrid may have not been in the country, but she sure knew the name. Everyone in the business world knew who Kage Hawkins was.

"If I were you," Cindy lowered her voice to a conspirational whisper. "I'd pray he doesn't find out you called his wife names."

This time, it was Sylvie's turn to look pompous. She turned to the cleaner. "Take care of this and

back to work."

"Yes, ma'am. Thank you so much! Thank you!" She bowed in gratitude and ran off.

Astrid's face tightened with rage. She glared hard at Sylvie who held her gaze for a long time before walking away with Cindy.

Later in the day, Sylvie met up with the person that had called her in Silk and Satchel and received the 'item'. It was a few strands of hair packaged in a small nylon. Lincoln's hair. "What do you need it for, anyway?" The guy asked after handing it to her.

She glanced at him before fixing it into her purse. "Something personal."

She paid him. After him. After which, he left her car.

Sylvie hoped she wouldn't get caught. She'd already gotten Cora's hair when she 'visited' them for the second time in school, but she couldn't get close enough to Lincoln and had to get someone else to do it for her. The only thing left left for her to do was conduct a DNA on both hairs and see if they would be a match. Her guts told her to conduct the DNA on them. The result would determine her next step of action. With that, she headed for the hospital.

The following night, Kage insisted they ate out for dinner. Well, Sylvie had been having a hard time chosing what to eat. So, she didn't argue when he brought the suggestion.

The restaurant had a wide variety of food to choose from. Sylvie ate to her fill, and by the time they were done, she wished they were home so she could get right into sleep. "Do I need to carry you?" Kage teased as to pass out."

they walked out of the VIP room, his hand holding hers. "You look like you're about

"Well, I might pass out. But I might pass out even faster if you have to carry me." She rolled her eyes with a yawn.
