Nine months too late: After divorce by Baby Charlene

Chapter 92

Kage drove the fastest he's ever had to- beating uncountable traffic rules. He knew they'd be on his neck by

morning, but he couldn't bring himself to care. Sylvie's pleas tormented him: "Please, you have to hurry. You

have to getout of here!" Remembering the panic in her voice fueled his anger even more.

His guards were following behind in a second car. They hadn't been quick enough to stop him before he slid into

this car and took off.

He was in a meeting when Sylvie texted him a location. He excused himself to call her and had almost been

crippled from the panic in her voice. Please, you have to hurry. You have to getout of here!"

It was a small apartment. It was obvious someone had abducted and brought her there. But how did it happen?

Who could it possibly be?

He thought of all the horrible things he'd do to the suspect. If anyone had laid a finger on Sylvie....

He pushed the door open, his eyes scanning the room. It was dark inside, so he couldn't make out the features.

He knew he wasn't making the smartest decision. He shouldn't be going in alone knowing danger was waiting,

filled the room.

Kage stayed rooted to the spot. It took him a moment to digest the sight before him.

The room was colorfully decorated with a big write-up of "Happy Birthday, Kage" hanging from the ceiling.

He took in the familiar faces of his friends, Sylvie, and sof her friends. He shook his head, gobsmacked.

Sylvie happily ran to him, holding a beautifully wrapped box.

"Happy birthday." Her smile was enough to make a man's bad day becgood. "Sorry Lhad to do what I did. |

worried. Had the prank been too expensive? To her relief, he pulled her into a hug, ignoring the box she held out

to him. The people made lovely sounds from behind, but Kage ignored them. He wished he could hug her tighter

than the bump allowed.

He stroked her hair and cupped her cheeks when he pulled away. "Don't ever use such methods on me, Sylvie.

Never." His eyes still held remnants of the fear he'd felt before the 'surprise! Sylvie saw how worried she'd made

him, and right there, she felt guilty.

"I'm sorry," she flashed a small smile.

Finally, he looked at the present in her hand, then chuckled. "How in God's ndid you pull this off? Was it

even necessary?"

"Well, yes! You haven't celebrated your birthday in years. And since I'm in your life, | decided there must be a

difference this year."

"Well, not to be brash, but you've been in my life longer than you think."

She jabbed his chest.

He took the present from her. "Thank you for this."

Leaning forward, he claimed her lips.

You two aren't the only ones here, you know?" One of his friends stepped forward, pulling them apart.

ughter filled the room, and the rest of the evening was blissful

By the tthe party was over-which was late into the night-and Sylvie and Kage were home, he gave her a

longer kiss, thanking her again for making his day special.

Waking up that morning, he was aware it was his birthday but didn't think much on it. He had more important

things to do than worry about a birthday that happened every year. To him, it was something the ladies best did.

However, Sylvie had changed the narrative, making him feel truly special.

"When the babies arrive," he tenderly spoke, his hands on her waist. "We'll have a grand wedding."

Sylvie's eyes beamed for sseconds before she forced the excitement to stay low. However, she couldn't stop

the color from spreading through her cheeks.

"Is this a proposal, Mr. Hawkins? | think you might want to take sonline lessons on how to do it better," she

said. Kage tilted back his head and laughed. "Well, | can do it for formalities sake, but | don't think it will change

a thing. You'll accept my proposal either ways." "Oh. How SO?"

"Because you've always been mine, Sylvie Price. Or should | say, Sylvie Hawkins?"

Sylvie

tried to fight it, but the smile won and spread through her face. She lowered her gaze, bashfully.

"Is someone being shy?" Kage bent over to look at her face, but she kept moving away.

Suddenly, she gasped, her eyes stretching open. "It kicked!"

Kage's lips fell apart. He dropped to

"I think they're trying to tell you it's pointless thinking about the proposal," Kage said with a shrug as he rose to

his full height. "Oh, please!" Sylvie rolled her eyes.

"Who was that?" She casually asked, packing her hair in front of the mirror.

Kage gave a nonchalant shrug. "It's just Lancelot." He tossed the phone to the bed. "He's awake." &
