The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 116

"What is the matter with you?" Linda asked me, and they joined me in the bathroom. Other than the tea and biscuits I ingested, there was nothing in my stomach. So when I threw everything up, I sat by the toilet seat, heaving.

Avery poured cold water overhead, and I sighed with relief because I was burning up.

"What is wrong with you?" Linda asked, looking concerned, and I shook my head

"I guess I am reacting to something in the tea or biscuits. It might also be because of the up-and-down feeling today. Everything has been crazy." I said, feeling better.

"Maybe you should rest," Avery said, and we left the bathroom and went back to the couch.

We talked about other things, watched a movie, and then they left.

Sylvester returned thirty minutes after they left, looking very angry and troubled.

He went to the bathroom immediately, and even though I wanted to join him, I wasn't feeling that great.

He lingered in the bathroom before coming to bed.

"Are we not going for dinner?" I asked him, and he shook his head.

He looked at me and held my hand.

"You look pale," he said with concern, and I smiled at him and caressed his cheeks gently.

"And you look tensed," I said, and he smiled at me and pulled me into his arms.

I placed my head against his chest, and he wrapped his arms around me. I felt his uneasiness, and I knew the issue with his brother troubled him.

"You need to be calm, darling. I know you care about Dominic, and I pray he is innocent too, but you need to be calm," I said, and he kissed the top of my head.

"I want you to join me in questioning him and Larry tomorrow. Do you think you are up for it?" He asked me, and I looked at him with a broad smile.

"That will be amazing. It will be more fun than anything I have been doing since I got here," I said, and he frowned at me, his dark eyes flashing. I wondered what I said to make Knight jealous.

"More fun than making love?" he asked, and I smiled broadly, shaking my head.

"No, definitely not," I said, and he smiled and tickled me.

"Did my mother come to this room after I left?" he asked, and I shook my head.

"We are definitely now enemies. I doubt she will come here knowing you aren't here," I said, and he nodded.

"She has taken a short trip, and for some reason, I am nervous because it has to do with Dominic," he said, and I frowned at him.

"Avery and Linda said they saw her in the lounge a few hours ago," I said, and he nodded.

"The alcohol must have given her a bright idea," he said, and it did not sit well with me.

A desperate woman would do anything. Stephanie's judgement could not be trusted at the moment.

"Did you have her followed?" I asked him, and he shook his head.

"I doubt I need to have her followed, Tamia. She is just angry. Besides, she is my mother. I can't treat her like a suspect in a crime," he said, and I nodded even though I disagreed with him.

I honestly wished he had her followed. Deep down, I doubted her trip had anything to do with Dominic's freedom.

After hearing what Avery told me she said to them on their way to my room, I knew she believed I had masterminded everything.

She had also implied that my position with Sylvester wasn't a given and that two months was time enough for things to change. I wondered what my new antagonist had in store for me. I prayed silently for the strength to overcome.
