Nine months too late: After divorce by Baby Charlene

Chapter 103

Sylvie had always wondered why most people considered suicide when they were passing through difficult

phases in life. Now, she understood better.

As she sat alone in her lodge, crying over what had happened, she contemplated it. And if it wasn't for the fact

that her babies’ lives were also on the line, perhaps, she'd have given it a deeper thought. In that moment, she

wished she had company. She hadn't reached out to Cindy or any one of her friends yet, because she feared

they'd judge her. Who would comfort her after knowing what she did? She had never been in good terms with

her sisters, so they weren't even an option. Sylvie was utterly alone-like she's been for the most part of ner life.

On second thoughts, what if Kage decided to take the recording to the police? The situation would get worse and

losing him wouldn't be the only thing she'd be worried about. She'd be losing her freedom as well. She touched

her stomach at the thought of being away from her kids. She could never survive it. She couldn't let that happen.

the DNA test reached out to her, informing her that the result was ready and and would be forwarded to She dian

For two days, Sylvie tried reaching Kage but couldn't. His lines weren't reachable and none e of f her texts and |

voicemails were answered.

In the evening, the doctor from the hospital where she'd perfo care about Evelyn and Lincoln, or the result. She

could only hope that she didn't lose her life in thier email. But when the email did come, Sylvie didn't bother to

open it.

unfortunate time

She decided to go to the house and learned from the securities that he hadn't been hfor two days. Sylvie

thought it was obvious he had moved to a new apartment where he wouldn't be disturbed by her. She called Atty

at the office and learnt he hadn't reported to work for two days. It bothered her even more that he was isolating

himself. What if he did something silly? Will he be fine? She sat in her car, resting her head on the steering, not

knowing where to go. She wished she could see him again, but she's didn't know where else to look. Her father's

call cinto her phone, pulling her out of her her thoughts. She hesitated for a moment before taking the call.

"Sylvie, what's going on?" Her father's voice was sharp. "I just received information that I've been kicked out of

the group. I've been trying and failing to reach Kage. Are you with him? | need you to putthrough." Sylvie

closed her eyes, her hand running over her forehead. Oh, God; her head ached. But sleep sounded too unworthy

for her. "I can't reach him," she managed to mutter.

"Why!? | need to speak to him, Sylvie! | need to know what's happening. You have to do something!"

She put a hand around the steering, gripping it tight, You have to do something?

1/3

Sylvie had lost count of the number of times her father had said that to her. He was always needing her to do

things for him, even at her own discomfort. Has he ever cared for her?

When she spoke again, her tone was harder. "I'm sorry, | can't reach him." She hung up, angrily setting the

phone down.

She slammed her both hands on the steering wheel, grunting. How did her life turn out to be so messed up?

In seconds, her head was down in tears.

family's house. She knew the chances of finding him there were slim, but she was hoping she might get some

information that could lead to his whereabouts. As expected, Phoebe lashed at her, telling her Kage was far away

and didn't want to set eyes on her ever again.

Sylvie was a little surprised that Kage had told them they were having a misunderstanding already. She was sure

he didn't tell them the reason for the misunderstanding, because Phoebe would've mentioned it.

But it was unlike Kage to tell his mother they had issues.

However, she

she didn't have the luxury of asking too many questions.

"Please, | just want to know where he is. If you have any idea, just letknow," she pleaded even after Phoebe

already yelled

at her to leave.

She hadn't even been let into the house but was left at the gate where Phoebe argued with her..

"The only reason

senses. I'm it csooner. But know this, I'll make your life as miserable as you have made his." Despite Sylvie's

pleas, Phoebe had her thrown out by securities and warned them never to let her in again.

Sylvie drove off to one of her favorite places with Kage-the bridge. After that one the'd met her at the bridge

when she was alone, it'd turned out to be one of the favorite places they went to when they wanted to have a

cool evening. Standing and staring into the waters that appeared dark due to the darkness of the night, she

remembered how sweet he had been.

She touched the necklace around her neck. It should feel useless by now, considering the words he'd said to her

few days ago, but a part of her didn't want to let it go. It was the only thing she had left of him. And the babies.

Her hand rested on her bump, and a sad smile filled her lips. Funny how they've anticipated the arrival of the

kids together, but as it turned out, she might be the only one receiving them. The thought of raising the kids

without Kage terrified her. The thought of living without him in general terrified her even

more.

Her mind drifted to the night he'd ‘forced’ himself on her.

Well, Kage had indeed, been drunk

that night and wanted to force

himself on her, but maybe there had

been a part of Sylvie that wanted it to

happen. Perhaps, (fief fouffk a

Then, it got worse by the secretary informing her that her father had passed out and was admitted to the

"We heard you were kicked out by Kage," Iris angrily chirped in, her eyes glaring daggers. Sylvie was astonished.
