Fate's Dark Side Chapter 360

"A list? What list? Who compiled this list?" the man asked, and even though I should be asking him the questions, I knew I needed to rub it in that his very own had sold him out.

"Well, your daughter gave us a flash drive of the list of your associates," I said, and he began to laugh. He laughed so hard that I felt stupid.

Leo wanted to punch him, but I stopped him.

"Amanda?" Ramsey said, and I nodded, and he shook his head.

"My my my, you are even a bigger fool than I thought. Your father wouldn't have fallen for this," he said, and I frowned at him.

"Where did she get this file from?" He asked.

"Your computer Ramsey, so quit acting," Leo said, and Ramsey bowed his head as if he was hurting.

"Do I look stupid to you?" Ramsey asked me, and I did not respond, making a straight face.

"So I would somehow compile a list of my associates and save it as a file on my computer. Amanda miraculously knew my password, and out of the many files on my computer, she happened to know which one to pick and copy?" he said, and putting it that way, it seemed a bit off, but the specific folders copied made me relax.

"She copied many files," Leo said, and Ramsey shook his head.

"I do not keep a list of associates on my computer. I never have and never will. I play solitaire and chess with my desktop and nothing more. That list isn't mine. You can send for my computer and give an expert to check if I have deleted anything from it," he said and looked at both of us.

"Where is she now?" He asked me, and I looked at him.

"Far away from your reach," I said, and he laughed.

"And I guess she is far away from yours too," he said, laughing, and I was impatient.

"You are pissing me off, Ramsey," I said with my command, and he shook, remembering why I was a Volkov, to begin with.

"You have been had," Ramsey said, and Leo wanted to attack him, but I stopped him.

"I do not know what my darling daughter told you, but she is cunning like that. She was smart enough to plan her escape if she got caught," He said, and I shut him up.

"Annika said you..." I said, and he interrupted me.

"Annika is a blind fool. And I am sure she is dead now because Amanda always cleans up her mess," He said with sadness in his eyes, and I became confused.

"You have let go of the only person that knows the king's identity," he said, and I punched him. I thought he was trying to get back at his daughter for giving him up.

Touching his broken nose, he tried to fix it a bit.

"I am not lying, your majesty," he said with sincerity in his eyes.

"Amanda schooled in Cains most of her life, where she met the King. He did not live there, but he visited there often, and they shared the dream of ruling together," he said and sighed.

"She met Leo a day after she arrived in the east. She came there with the sole purpose of recruiting me.

I would have declined if I knew she was setting me up as the fall guy. But what they offered was too good to refuse.

I had been disgraced in the east; it would have been nice to become a nobleman, more important than the man that took my position.

They did not have an army, so they needed to cause war. She sweet-talked me into it. Something about restoring our family's glory and giving me a seat on the council.

She said her mate was a Volkov and that they loved each other so much. He did not claim her, of course. Their wedding was to occur after they succeeded at creating the war.

Getting with Leo wasn't part of the plan, but she went to Casper's party, and they were fated. It was a massive setback because she was torn between her wolf and her desires," he said, and I called Kappa Wilson on the phone to check on Annika in her cell. There was no way Ramsey was lying. I could see the resignation in his eyes.
