Nine months too late: After divorce by Baby Charlene

Chapter 133

Her heart pounded so violently in her chest, she feared it'd explode.

He now knew she'd had the necklace all along, after all these years. He's realized how stupid she was.

For a moment, Sylvie was tempted to yank off the necklace and toss it to the pool water just to prove she wasn't as foolish as he may think. But even in that moment, the necklace still felt precious to her. She couldn't let it go. Not yet. A tear finally slipped her eye, same time Kage dragged his gaze from the necklace to her face. The expression in his eyes was cold. Unreadable.

"Come on, we need to get out of here," Machai spoke in hushed tones beside her, his arms still around hers.

Giving him one final lingering look, Sylvie turned around and left with Machai.

Machai led her to his car, fixed her in the passenger sit and turned on the heater. The weather was cold, and she being in the pool hadn't done her much good.

"Sorry about that," Machai muttered, searching for something in his car. "Didn't think Cindy could be that bitchy."

Of course, Nobody would think she was a bitch and a snake. An evil witch.

She had one of the most innocent faces and always smiled and laughed and made you think she was the best soul on earth. But she was worse than a wolf in sheep clothing.

Sylvie had never felt so much hatred toward anyone. She'd never wanted to hurt someone that bad. To ruin them. Finding what he was looking for, Machai held out a cigarette and lighter to her. "Here. It'll make you warmer." Sylvie furrowed her brows, giving it a disapproving look before tearing her gaze away. "I don't smoke."

"I know. But there's a first time for everything. Plus I think you could really use one right now."

Sylvie shook her head.. "I don't want to."

Shrugging, he lit the cigarette for himself and began smoking,
