She gave a small laugh. "We've known each other for years, Kage. And there's never been a twe cclose

to even being friends. Okay, maybe a couple of times. But mostly, you've been an **. And I'm not exempting

myself-l know I've been a b***h too. But all of a sudden, you wantto think you... you care for me? You're

willing to cancel your engagement for my s*ake?"

She sighed. "Well, | hope you don't blme because it's funny as hell."

She started walking away, close to the balcony door.

"Syears a sago, | met

a girl." Kage's words halted her. She remained standing with her back to him, not turning around.

"It was in high school, and she was really pretty. She was the prettiest girl I'd ever seen. | wanted her. But back

then, | was a bully and didn't know much about pleasing a woman. So, | went to her the only way | knew-by

trying to intimidate her. | thought maybe, if it made her scared, it'd be be easy getting her on my side. But," he

sighed, "she was one very stubborn girl. She wouldn't bend and gavea lot of trouble.

"It was a long game, one that didn't end well for me. And one day, she chose my cousin over me. She let him

touch what | craved, willingly gave him her dignity." He paused for a deep breath.

"It was the first t| was ever heartbroken. | tried to hate her, tried to hurt her even more. But in the end, |

really wanted to have her. So, | did something silly."

He took a longer break, like his next words were very heavy.

Sylvie was forced to turn around, her heart racing faster than horses.

Kage wasn't looking at her when he continued. "I asked my grandfather to include her in his will."

It took four seconds for the words to completely sink in. When they did, Sylvie's hands were over her lips, stifling

her gasp. Her eyes were wide open, like they could swallow a building, and her heart beat so rapidly, she feared

it'd burst out from her

chest.

No. No. No. He couldn't be serious. Kage Hawkins couldn't be serious.

This time, Kage dragged his eyes to her. "I was kind of my grandfather's favorite, but it wasn't easy getting him

to do that. | knew with her in the way of my inheritance, I'd be forced to comply, and even my family wouldn't

object. | was crazy, but | really wanted own this girl, even if if it was for two years.

"| thought and | hoped that things would change between us. But even in marriage, we were still enemies. As a

matter of fact, it grew worse.

"There were a few times | tried inviting her to dinner, making it seem like it was a business dinner, but she'd

decline, insisting she was tired and busy. | always acted grumpy and nonchalant about it, but all those times, |

got my heart broken over and over until | got fed up. | felt there was no need holding onto something that would

never be there."

"So, when our contract was close to ending, | started the divorce process. But | was as slow as a snail and

wouldn't let my lawyer complete it."

Tears were rolling down Sylvie's cheeks. It sounded like a fairytale. She couldn't believe it.

"I'm sorry, Sylvie." He muttered softly. "Sorry | made you cry. And | know it isn't the first time. | know I've not
