Chapter 7
The words sounded foreign to Kage
For a full minute, he gave no reaction, his mind struggling for comprehension.
she was pregnant, the doctor’s words replayed in his head. Who was pregnant?
“I don’t…I don’t understand,” he shook his head. “Who’s pregnant?”
“Your wife, sir.”
“No,” he wagged his head. “That’s… That’s not possible. She can’t be
He and Sylvie had never been intimate. So, it was completely impossible that she’d be pregnant.
Suddenly, it became clear to him. Rage blurred his vision, all he could see was red. The bitch! She was pregnant for someone else! She’d been sleeping around!
“S…Sir? Are you alright, sir?” The doctor asked, concerned at the way he looked.
Kage didn’t spare her a glance as he rose from his seat and stormed out of the office.
Sylvie was in a meeting when Kage’s call came in. She ignored it and got a text next.
“Pick the damn phone, Sylvie! Trust me, this isn’t like the others. You’ll hate me if you ignore me one more time.
Sylvie was surprised. Okay, she knew Kage was always a psychopath, but this was beyond crazy. Something was seriously
wrong.
“Um… Sorry, can I use the restroom?” She said to the clients she’d been speaking with.
“Sure. Take your time.”
She hurried to the restroom and placed the call.
“Hey, what is…
I need you to come home. Right now!” He cut her off, his tone laced with so much anger.
That was a first. Although his words were always heart–wrenching, he had never spoken to her in that tone before.
She brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. “I… What is wrong? I mean why do you want me home?”
“We need to talk
“Talk?” She scoffed. “You want me to come home at this time just to talk?”
“Don’t fucking ask me those questions! If I say I want you home, you should get your ass here.”
“Fine. But I’m in a meeting. I can only…
“If you don’t get home in twenty minutes, I’ll come over myself. And trust me, it’s gonna be more embarrassing when I do.” The call ended.
For the first time, Sylvie was anxious of meeting with Kage. He sounded too angry on the phone, she’d never seen him that way before.
Making her way into the house, she found him in the living room. No one was around. During the day, the house could be
empty

Chapter 71
Kage was seated on the couch, smoking. He didn’t look at her even as she stood beside him.
“What was so important?” Sylvie cleared her throat and asked.
Putting out his cigarette, he stood up.
“You’re pregnant,” he clipped. “For who?”
Sylvie’s heart stopped beating. She froze as did the words in her throat.
Her jaw dropped, and her legs wobbled. What the…
“Can’t speak anymore?” Kage tilted his head.
She swallowed pass the lump in her throat. “I don’t… I don’t understand. What’re you talking about?”
“Don’t try to play smart with me, Sylvie, else, I swear I’ll bring a test strip and force you to pee on it.” A shiver coursed down Sylvie’s spine. How in God’s name did he find out? How was it possible? Nervously, she tucked some strands of hair behind her ear.
“Open your mouth, Sylvie! Who have you been sleeping with?”
Fear trapped the words in her throat. This wasn’t supposed to happen, not like this at least.
“Damn it!” He kicked the table. “I get it that it’s all fake, but how can you let yourself get pregnant for another bastard while married to me? What happened to fucking decency!!”
“Listen…”
“You’ve lost it, haven’t you? God, how can you be so terrible at making excuses?”
“You’re not leaving until you answer my questions. And trust me, you wouldn’t want to see how crazy I can get. His eyes burnt with a different kind of rage.
Sylvie’s eyes glistened with unshed tears as she stared into his eyes.
Kage’s grip on her hand loosened, Confusion etched his face as he tried to remember.
That night he’d reached a milestone and had been very happy. He went drinking with his friends, for the first time, he was wasted and at the brink of consciousness. He couldn’t even recall how he had gotten home.
But he did know something. He knew he had slept with someone. But by morning, he had woken up to Lana beside him. She told him it was the he had slept with. Although, she didn’t have a problem with it, Kage apologized and they put it behind
them.
No. There was no way that had been a lie. There was no way it had been Sylvic.
He looked at her with a new expression, his brows furrowing
“Your friends had brought you home so drunk, I had to help to your room. And that was where it’d happened. You fucking raped me, asshole! I had expected you to say something in the morning, but you didn’t. You didn’t even remember!”
