Sylvie had always tried to imagine what it would be like if she got to meet Kage again. Would the butterflies in her tummy still be there? Would she be happy? Angry? Sad? Would she want to run to him and put her arms around him? No matter how hard she had tried to imagine it, she was never able to fully imagine it.

She watched him walk through the door in a tailored black suit, his black hair styled meticulously, with a few deliberate strands falling effortlessly across his forehead. Sharp, angular features highlighted his cold silver eyes, which seemed to draw in anyone who dared to meet his gaze. Now, finally seeing him again, Sylvie felt everything go still around her.

The

entire noise drowned out from around her. She couldn't even hear her own heart beating. In that moment, it was as if nothing existed other than the man in front of her. Kage Hawkins. The man she never thought she could love but ended up loving more than life itself.

Her heart ached as it acknowledged that he looked even more handsome than he'd always been. Although, his eyes looked colder and there was a certain dark aura around him, it did nothing to deter his charms - the one that got every woman in the hall swooning. "Wow." The beside her tsked. "So, he just walks in and steals everyone's attention, huh? How's that fair?" He was clearly joking, but Sylvie didn't pay any attention to him. Finally, her eyes shifted to the woman beside Kage, the one holding hands with him.

He was with someone.

Her heart sank as she remembered June speaking of his girlfriend. She had almost forgotten.

Her heart skipped a beat. She couldn't see the lady's face just yet as Kage's shoulders were blocking her view, and she didn't exactly care.

Prior to her return to the country, Ruby had given her some updates on Kage, telling her not to get her hopes high for him. "He isn't the same man he was four years ago." Ruby had said. "There are rumours that he's become very hardened and dangerous. If you think he was rude before, you'd appreciate the old him better. He's completely unfeeling and treats people like trash-like dirt beneath his feet. Well, maybe it's expected seeing that he's become one of the most powerful businessmen in the world, and on the country, he controls the record-breaking Skyscraper." Back then, Sylvie had thought she didn't need those updates from Ruby. But now, as she watched him make his way in with her heart pounding violently, she couldn't help but wonder if there was any truth to Ruby's words. Had Kage truly changed? How dangerous had he become?

They were greeted by some guests immediately, who all wanted his attention, but at the same time, were trying not to

him. Finally, his partner's face came into view and Sylvie was finally able to see her. swamp

Sylvie's face instantly paled, her legs wobbled and threatened to give out to the cold floor. Only that would be too embarrassing. She forced herself to remain still.

Walking beside Kage, hand to hand was Cindy, her bestfriend.

She blinked hard, wondering if she was seeing things. Her brows pinched together in a frown as her thoughts jumbled.

The new girlfriend was Cindy, How was that possible? How could Cindy and Kage have a relationship?
