Chapter 102

Her eyes bulged open like balloons, her heart quickened, and her legs suddenly felt too heavy to stand.

But she needed to hold on. If she let her legs bring her to the floor, her babies might get affected. A heavy ache filled her head.

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?' Lancelot's voice rang from the phone. What do you want? Do I have to wait for you to expose me like you did with Lana?' Sylvie's response.

Cold coursed through her spine. Oh, God. He did it. Lancelot exposed her! He's destroyed her!

It all made sense. Why Kage had appeared to her looking that wounded. Oh, Lancelot. The scoundrel finally ruined her.

She took a step back, into the room, tears beginning to gather in her eyes like a cloud of rain gathering to pour.

She wanted to go to him, to put her arms around him and tell him to stay calm, but another part of her was so frightened of what he'd do to her.

The truth was finally

every moment Sylvie's always dreaded.

Is it true?" He spoke for the first time.

God d****. The pain in his voice was raw. Sylvie's never seen Kage cry before. Sha wasn't even sure a man as hard as he was has ever cried before, but in that moment, she wouldn't doubt it if someone said he did. Pain and guilt stabbed her deep in the chest. She felt cruel.

"Is this-" his brows furrowed, his gaze dropping to the floor as if contemplating. "-The reason you were always nervous around him? Because you two share a secret? That day in the office, you two were... You were..." he shook his head, finding it hard to put the words Sylvie had never seen Kage struggle for words before. She has never seen him at such a weak point. God, how could she do this to him?

She had no idea tears were already down her face until one of it reached her lips.

"Just tell me it's not true." He lifted his gaze to meet hers. The coldness in his eyes had dissolved into self-denial and hurt. "Tell me that somehow, this recording is fake and you had nothing to do with this." A sob escaped her throat as she lowered her head.

"Dni

Say something!" He yelled at her, causing her to shudder as she looked up at him. "Tell me this is fake! Tell me it isn't the reason Lancelot's always seemed to have a hold on you! Say something!" sorry.. She finally whimpered, her body wracking with sobs. "I'm so sorry."

She couldn't say anything else. At that point, she could only hope Kage didn't try to hurt her.

No. She deserved to get hurt by him. She'd have asked him to hurt her if only it wouldn't affect her babies.

Her remorse confirmed Kage's fears. The look of betrayal in his eyes deepened and turned his face into an impassive sheet

of cold rock.

This time, it was him who took retreating steps, as though he was standing before a stranger. The movement gripped Sylvie's heart, wounding her in ways she never thought possible,

Tears rushed down her face like a deluge. When he turned and started walking away, she pushed her legs forward. "Kage..." she called, but he didn't stop.

She was only able to take three steps before her legs threatened to cripple. She held onto the wall for support, crying her
