Fate's Dark Side Chapter 185

"Your secret is safe with me, Luna. We will burn all the evidence and never speak of it again," Tamia assured her.

I was glad Tamia was the one that found the evidence. I did not think Marcel or Theodore would want to hurt my mother, but their mothers might feel differently about it. I watched as Tamia held my mother while she wept on her knees.

It was a secret she had carried and lived in fear at the mercy of Jenny, the psycho. I hoped for all our sakes it was over. It was a relief, but we still had unanswered questions.

Who was working against my family? It was either the entire council, some people or someone on the council, David or Jenny's bastard.

I realised that Devin was innocent all along, and I had to try to find a way to calm the situation down and have a treaty with the south to avoid any more problems. There was also the issue of him being fated to Tamia. Although she rejected him, he was too hopeful for him to let go like that. He would always blame me for his loss, even if he respected and accepted the rejection.

I watched Tamia comfort my mother.

We left her room together and returned to our bedroom.

"We need to destroy all the evidence, so it does not get into the wrong hands," Tamia said, going through the files.

"Anything that points to the bad blood between them, Jenny's blackmail, the letter to the south and the correspondence about the letter must be destroyed. I am thinking of burning it in the bathroom," She said, and I frowned. Although we had electronic heaters in our rooms, there was a fireplace in the common room that we could use to burn the evidence.

"Why would you want to burn it in the bathroom when we can use the fireplace in the common room?" I asked, and she shook her head.

"Someone can walk into the common room and notice we are burning papers. No one would notice if we burn them in the bathroom bit by bit until they are all gone," She explained, and I understood and agreed with her.

"So, what is our next move?" She asked me.

"After we are done burying her secret, we must look closely at everyone on the council. Investigate them while I search for David." I told her, and she nodded and searched the documents to separate them.

I doubt David could help with anything, but I needed him to know I wasn't hunting him.

I needed to investigate and find Jenny's child. Meanwhile, we had to prep for the games. It would start in two weeks.

While we were figuring all these things out, it was best we figured out what to wear for the ball and prepare for the games to keep up appearances.

Jenny might have led to a dead end regarding the pending mutiny, but it opened a lot of things that were hidden from us. The new knowledge that we gained would help us in our future decision-making.

Tamia and I searched through the documents for two hours, and once we had separated the evidence against my mother from the others. I took them to the bathroom to burned them one at a time.

I sat by the window in the bathroom with a metal trash can and started burning the papers. I could not let Tamia do this because of her condition. I wanted her and our baby to be healthy and well. She was everything to me, and she knew it, which was why she respected my decision and did not argue with me.
