Fate's Dark Side Chapter 529

I wore a black lace gown that stopped in the middle of my thighs, exposing a good view of my legs yet still looking sexy. Leo loved the length of the dress. The sleeves covered three-quarters of my arms, and they were fitted. You could see my skin through the lace, yet it was tastefully done, so it did not look trashy and was exquisite.

I let my hair fall straight. I had never appreciated my features until now. I did not need much makeup. I knew I looked good. It was also deliberate.

Leo whistled when he saw me, and I smiled at him and looked at my feet. The black stilettos I wore were gorgeous and perfect for the dress. I had a matching black purse with it. I wore simple diamond earrings that Leo had got me.

"You look beautiful, Amelia," he complimented, and I smiled at him.

"You do not look bad yourself," I said, admiring him. The truth was he always looked good.

Leo wore black pants with a white shirt that he did not button at the top. He rolled the sleeve to make it look casual, and his wristwatch was on his left hand. He looked relaxed but expensive.

Leo was very rich, and everything he wore, down to his shoes, was expensive. Yet he lived a modest life. I respected him for it, and I liked it.

"Shall we? He asked me with a smile, and I nodded.

We headed out, and a limo was outside the mansion waiting for us. We got in, and I was glad to see Linda, Theodore, Avery, and Marcel there. I knew Tamia and Sylvester won't be attending. It was the downside of being king and queen. I guess it was up to us to have all the fun on their behalf and come and tell them about it. It really sucked, but that was their life.

I had told Linda about Leah, so she winked at me, eager to see the look on Leah's face when she saw me in Leo's arms. So much for telling me I would not make the cut.

"I see you are dressed for the occasion, Amelia," Linda teased me, and I smiled at her because I couldn't wait to give it to Leah and let her know that Leo was off-limits.

The drive was long, and we finally arrived at the Clayman's house. It was a huge mansion but nothing close to the Volkov estate.

It looked like a cottage compared to it, but I could also see why Leah was complaining about Leo's modest house.

Knowing Leo had more money than the Claymans made me respect him for being modest. Still, he owned an entire settlement, while the Claymans owned a mini-mansion. It would be cruel to compare them, but the Claymans weren't nice people, so being cruel to them was allowed.

Leah's mother was the one at the door welcoming people in.

The moment it was our turn to enter, she smiled, but her smile faded when she looked at me.

I could see the rage in the woman's eyes, but I knew she dared not tell Leo I could not enter.

"We did not know you would be coming with a guest," She said with a smile, and Leo stopped walking. We were about to enter the building when she said those words.

"I mean, if we knew you were bringing someone, we would have prepared to accommodate her," She said with a smile and respectfully.

"But Marcel and Theodore came with their wives," Leo said, and she nodded.

"It is expected that they will come with their wives, but you are single, councilman," She pointed, and Leo chuckled.

"I never told you I was single. Maybe if you had asked me, I would have told you.

"Joan, Amelia is my mate, so I am not single. I might not have claimed her yet, but we are together. Do not make the mistake of categorising me as a single man again," Leo said calmly, and she nodded. Still, the rage in her eyes said she would be trouble.

"Of course, if you do not like it, we can leave," Leo added, and she shook her head quickly and ushered us into the mansion.

We were led to a big dining room with a table that could seat about fifty people. There were names on the table to show everyone where they would sit. We looked around, and there were many plus ones. We finally found Leo's name, and instead of a plus one, Leah's name was placed beside his, and Leo smiled.
