She was perplexed age was just angry, he was furious. It took a lot to see him like that and in that state, he could do a lot of sped things
Okay Okay. What is going on? She blinked rapidly
He hunched over her table. What is going on is the fact that your little boyfriend is trying to mess with my project. He acts like he has fucking daddy issues and can’t get over the fact that I got the land, not him. He’s trying to fucking sabotage my project He went to the local government and told them to reject the building permit

Okay, now he was being annoying
11 don’t know anything about this, Kage. I don’t even
I don’t care if you know er not. Just tell him to stay out of my business! I don’t mind going to jail for him. Sylvie!” His eyes
She gulped hand as he left. She was sure he d have slammed the door if it hadn’t been designed in a way that he couldn’t.
She didn’t exactly know what was going on, but she knew things were about to get messy.
She reached for her phone and called Westley’s line, but he didn’t pick up. She called severally, but there was no answer. She dropped him a text. Hi. I need to speak to you. Call me back as soon as you get this.
She didn’t get to see Kage again until the close of work. Even Westley didn’t get back to her.
She drove home, tired from the day’s stress. Reaching her apartment, she was searching for her key in her bag when she spotted something on her doorstep.
Her brows furrowed as she went closer. It was an envelope. Was it meant for her?
She looked around, but there was no one in sight. Hesitantly, she picked up the envelope, opened it and brought out a small note she found in it. Her eyes widened in shock as she read it,
“Get rid of that cursed baby in your womb. If you don’t, I’ll make you die with it.”
She gasped, dropping the note and envelope frantically.
Her hand on her mouth, she looked around, her heart beating faster than it was supposed to. What in God’s name…?
Her hands were shaking. Someone knew about the pregnancy! But how!? How did it happen!!
Sylvie couldn’t go into the house. She had gotten back to her car and had driven for a long time until she was calm enough to think. She stopped in a park. feeling safer with the numerous people gathered around.
Exdeeply, she rested her head on the steering. God, her head was hanging already
Who in God’s name sent that note to her? How could anyone know about the baby? The only person she’d told was Westley. and something in her guts told her Westley had nothing to do with it.
was someone else.
She called a friend of hers, asking if she could come over. Stephanie didn’t have an issue and was more than glad to have her. She and Stephanie had been fiends since high school, she was sure she could trust her.
Stephanie showed her to her room and helped her settle in. Sylvie had no plans of revealing the pregnancy to her. So, she simply told her someone had dropped a life–threatening note on her doorstep.
God, she was confused. Now, she wanted to get away from there.
Later that evening, Westley had gone visiting. He’d gone to her old apartment and was only informed she’d moved when he called her on the phone. He had to drive to Stephanie’s place where Sylvie stepped out to see him.
“Hey, what’s going on? Why are you here? He looked genuinely concerned, looking at Stephanie’s house behind her.
“I swear. Sylvie, I have nothing to do with it. I haven’t….
Sylvie had thought about it as well. Nobody should have an issue with her being pregnant, unless they had something to lose. She had good guesses on the people around Kage. Kage currently held power in the Hawkins family. If he was to have a child. that child would be sure to inherit everything. Perhaps, some of his family members were insecure about it.
Perhaps, it was Lana or someone from Lana’s family, or maybe it was a girlfriend of Kage, his secret admirer, a hidden baby mama, his enemies. It could be anyone! But something in Sylvie’s guts told her it had to do with him. The question was, how did they get to know?
