Nine months too late: After divorce by Baby Charlene

Chapter 127

The earth appeared to fade away under Sylvie, her dizziness intensifying.

For a minute, she was too frozen to speak, Lancelot's words replaying in her head in a distorted voice.

"No..." she shook her head. "It can't be."

But it made sense.

She remembered. On one occasion, she'd made use of Cindy's system when there was a problem with hers. She had completely forgotten about it and actually didn't think it was possible that Cindy might've betrayed her in that way. Even in a million years, the thought would never have crossed her mind.

Cindy had been her bestfriend! They'd shared a bond even Sylvie never had with her family, and back then, they'd been very cool.

How could she have done this to her?

The tears came pouring freely, her heart shattering over and over, like it was being stabbed repeatedly.

She had thought that Cindy being in a relationship with Kage was her worst betrayal, she had no idea it was worst.

Her body wracked with sobs despite how much she tried to control it. Lancelot reached for her hand, trying to take to take it into his, but Sylvie snatched it away instantly, every touch irritating her even more.

"How could she?" She whimpered, shaking her head in denial.

Memories of all the moments they'd shared flooded her mind-when Cindy visited, helped with her hair and makeup, encouraged her when she felt down, made her laugh.

She had been more of a sister. Yet, she'd betrayed her in the twinkle of an eye. She was the reason her relationship with Kage was ruined in the first place. She was the reason she was so alone and vulnerable and lost her twins.

She stood up with her bag, wiping her face with her palm. But it was useless as more tears just came pouring down

"Sylvie..." Lancelot rose to his feet, but she turned away from him, taking some steps forward before she stopped.

"Did Kage ever...try to find me?" She asked, her voice heavy.

She didn't turn to face him, and it took a while before Lancelot's voice reached her.

"After the recording, he just went....silent. I think he must've gone away to heal or something. He returned three weeks later, resuming duties at the company as if nothing had happened. But he did come for me. Not physically, though. But he made me lose everything-my place in the family, my wealth, my dignity.

"I still can't explain how he did it, or how it all happened, but he got me real good, making sure my remaining days are frustrating enough.

"I couldn't go close to him anymore and couldn't tell what he was up to, but I doubt he actually looked for you, Sylvie." He explained, his voice heavy with pain.

Sylvie's heart sank even further.

"I'm sorry," Lancelot whispered. I'm so sorry this happened. I had to investigate the leaked recording as I felt it was the one thing I could do for you."
