Nine months too late: After divorce by Baby Charlene

He led Sylvie out of the house until they were inside his car. He asked his driver to step out while he talked to her. "Hey are you alright?" He asked, his voice laced with real concer

She shook her head negatively, not wanting to lie as usual. How could she be fine after that?

She stared sadly at her laps, fiddling with her nails as she wept, recalling the betrayal and all the harsh words they'd said. She was thirteen when her mother died. Her parents had been divorced before then, and though, her father tried to hide the truth from her since she was little, she still overheard him through little whispers and phone calls. The news hadn't circulated a lot back then, so Sylvic didn't have a hard time being bullied by it. But now, hearing it again after all these years reopened healing wounds.

I'm sorry" Kage sighed. He didn't know what exactly happened, but he knew Sylvie to be a strong woman. Words hardly ever got to her, and even if they did, she hardly showed it. So, for her to cry this much, he knew his family must have said really hurtful things to her. Very bad things. Seeing her cry this much hurt him, strangely,

Sylvie didn't know which was more surprising - Kage standing up for her, or him actually apologizing. It was the first time he was ever apologizing to her - ever.

He pulled her into himself, offering her some comfort while she cried in his shoulders.

Lana, on the other hand, was skeptical when Kage had asked her to come over to the house. These days, he was always so busy, he hardly ever called her over himself. But this, she didn't feel good.

She knew what had gone down at the Hawkins mansion. Of course, it was her doing, but she also heard it didn't completely end well as Kage had come in and defended her. That was a plan ruiner. Now, he was calling for her. "Hey, babe. How're y you

Her brows were furrowed, but she withdrew her hand. "Is...something wrong?"

Slowly, he turned to face her. The look in his eyes almost made Lana take a step back.

"Why did you do it? His tone was as hard as granite.

She pulled a confused face, so he went further. "Tell my family about Sylvie and the babies

Lana had also gotten to know she was pregnant with multiple babies. The reveal had left her screaming.

Kage would've definitely told them about it, but he wanted to do so at the right time. He knew what their reactions would be and he could imagine the manner with which Lana had told them about it for them to had reacted the way they did. Lana scoffed. "What're you talking about, Kage? 1.." "Damn

Dam it! Don't lie to me! He threw his glass on the floor, crashing it.

gasped, recoiling in fear. She looked at the broken glass on the floor, and at Kage. "Kage..." "You think Sylvie's ruining our relationship? So, you want to ruin her life!?" He yelled.

He looked so angry, she feared he'd lay his hands on her.

He stood up, and Lana lost it. Her eyes released tears as she shuffled away from him.

"What t makes you think y

you have the right to go out there and discuss my business?" His nose flared. "Don't you know Sylvie being pregnant is serious business to me? Do you want me to ruin you, Lana?" Sha shook her head pathetically.

"So, why did you do it?"

Lana was too scared to speak. She realized if she said one wrong word, Kage would really hurt her.

"I asked a question," his voice was so cold.

Tm sorry," she whimpered. "I just... I didn't think they'd get angry about it, Kage. I simply wanted them to know what was going on."

His eyes looke I like they could spit out fire. "Why? Because of the wedding?"

His eyes looked like

There was silence. "The wedding," he repeated, turning to the table to pour another glass of wine.

Lana's brows furrowed. Now, she wasn't having a good feeling.

Kage chuckled, taking back his seat as he drank from his glass. "The wedding is in a week, isn't it?"

"Y... Yes," her voice trembled, taking two steps towards him.. God, she really didn't feel good about this.

Her eyes widened further in shock, her lips were parted in disbelief. Her head spun.

"W... What?" She furrowed her brows, God, no.

She chuckled nervously, going closer. "K Kage, what're you talking about? We've been making plans. The hall has been booked, our dresses, the invites... Everything is ready."NôvelDrama.Org © content.

"Well, postpone everything!" He almost yelled the words, turning to meet her gaze. Tm still very busy, Lana. There are a lot of things I have to do, and the wedding will be a distraction. So, have it postponed. It could be two months, three. I don't really know." He turned back to the counter. Lana's

lungs weren't getting enough air anymore. No, this couldn't be happening. They've made the preparations already. Her dresses expensive ones which had been made by top designers. The cake, the decorations, everything was perfect and ready! G

"That night was a mistake, he turned sharply at her, "And I told you we're never talking about it again."

It was around the time Sylvie had gone missing after divorcing him. He'd been angry, frustrated. He got drunk and found himself doing things he shouldn't have.

Lana was there, and he didn't how it happened, lat they made out. He wished they didn't have to talk about it again.

Lana tried to speak, but her tongue was tied. Her heart was racing too fast.

Her surroundings seemed to go round in circles. And finally, she gave it up. She passed out cold on the floor.
