Chapter 63
There was a crack, but it was in Sylvie's heart. Her mask fell off, revealing her shock.
She blinked hard, staring at Lana as though she'd lost her mind. But she hadn't.
Lana laughed, amused by her surprise. "Don't tellKage didn't tell you about it yet. Why do you think we've
gotten so close? He's been taking care of me, Sylvie. Of our child."
She inched towards her. "In two weeks, we'll be getting married. Then, I'll be his legally pregnant wife. My child
will be his legal child. Look around, Sylvie there's no place for you and he pointed a finger at her belly...those
things you think you have there. | hope you can see how you terribly getting in the way of my relationship. But |
won't let you - not anymore." With a grin, she turned and left.
Sylvie's heart was
Her hands were trommering in her chest. It was a hassle getting into the elevator and returning to her office,
the whole time.

Lana's words wouldn't stop ringing in her cars.
So, 1
that was the reason Kage had been cold towards her. The son of a b***h should've just told her instead of going
all mute on her.
She tried to force

her cheek when a text cinto her phone. Sniffling, she saw it was from Westley's sister, and the content
made the air vanish from her lungs.
Westley has been in an accident!
Kage and the others were already at the conference room, waiting for Westley's arrival. They've been waiting for
more than thirty minutes, but he still wasn't there. "This is unacceptable!" One of them grumped. "He can't call
for a meeting and show up late. | had to cancel serious plans to be here today." "His line isn't connecting, either."
Another said.
"But | find it odd that Westley will be late to a meeting. He's never been late to any meeting
They continued grumbling, with Kage being one of the few people that said nothing.
Shortly, a lady rushed into the room. She was panting. "Sorry for the intrusion, but it's about Mr. Harper. He's
been involved in an accident!"
You know that point where you keep going from one bad situation to another? That was the point Sylvie was in.
Her predicaments weren't close to ending.

She ran into the hospital; asked for directions and found Westley's family at the corridor, outside a room. They

anxious, nervous.
Westley's sister- Victoria hurried to meet her.
"How's he?" Sylvie's heart was in her throat as she asked.
Victoria was in tears. "We don't know, Sylvie, but we fear he might be in a bad condition. The doctors..." she
glanced at the room. "they're still trying."
Sylvie
had no control over the tears that crolling down. She was tired of it all. Yes, she had her suspicions about
Westley, but it didn't change the fact that he was still someone she knew,meone she was engaged to.
She forced herself to composure as she waited outside with the rest of his family.
A while later, smembers of the Group cover. Sylvie realized they'd heard about the accident and
decided to pay
him a visit.
But Westley was still unfit to see anyone, so they joined them in waiting.
"We were waiting for him in a meeting when the news of his accident reached us, she overheard one of them
say. Sylvie was tired and least interested. She just wanted this day to end.
But her attention was more drawh to one of the people that had cover Lincoln. Lincoln was Paul's brother.
She was a little tensed when he sat next to her on the bench.
"Hey
his voice was warm. "How're 're you holding up?"
Sylvie had only spoken to Lincoln a few times, and just like his brother, he was a very nice man. He was forty
years old and was also a member of the One Trillion Group. He and Paul were the only members who were
brothers but separately successful Sylvie felt felt bad that he was visiting Westley in the hospital when he
probably had something to do with his brother's murder. She imagined how hurt he'll be if he ever gets to know.
"I'm fine," she muttered, casting her gaze downward.
"He'll be fine, you know?" He said reassuringly. "I understand how tough this must be for you."
Sylvie sniffled, simply bobbing her head. One thing that amused her about Lincoln was the fact that he wasn't
married. With all his looks and wealth, she found it strange that he didn't start his own family.
Well, not everyone was obsessed with having a family- she thought.
It didn't take long before the doctor and nurses cout of Westley's room. They all sprang to their feet, rushing

Westley's family threw numerous questions at him, all at once.

"But it's only going to be for a couple of weeks. He'll be fine, trust me." The doctor quickly added.
Sylvie sighed, pinching her brows. Oh, God. Westley would have to be in a wheelchair?
"C-Can

"Yes. He's awake now. But try not to bring up stressful conversations

She closed her eyes, wanting to scream. Why were all the men in her life messed up?
"Sylvie," Westley's voice reached her ears. His voice carried the weight of his pain.
He extended his hand to her, and slowly, she went forward and took it. He closed his hands around hers, holding
it tight.
"I'm glad you're here," he spoke weakly. "Just stay around. Okay?"
She nodded, gulping down her sob.
She hated such moments. She hated that she was so confused. Westley was possibly the one that had killed
Paul. Yet, there she was torn between caring for him and staying away from a murderer. "Just get better," she
sniffed. "That's all we all want."
