The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 197

We entered the room, and she went to the bathroom.

I went to check my computer for emails, but there was nothing. By the time I was done, she had exited the bathroom in her night dress with wet hair. She had taken a quick shower, and she looked gorgeous.

"Hectic day?" She asked me with a smile, and I nodded.

I felt relief wash through me because I realised she was just giving me space. She wasn't mad at me.

I watched her moisturise her skin at the vanity table and then move to the bed. I decided I had to tell her that Devin and Susan were coming so she would know and would not be surprised and shocked when she saw them or found out before then.

"Devin is coming for the games," I said, and she looked at me, stunned. I could see a glimpse of fear in her eyes.

"He has never come for the games before. He accepted and even signed up three polo teams to play in the tournament for the south." I said, and she looked worried.

"That isn't all, my ex's uncle is the captain of his team, and he is coming with my ex, Susan," I said, and her hand shook a bit.

She sat upright on the bed and looked at me with fear. She was speechless.

"Susan is coming?" She asked, and I nodded and went to join her on the bed.

"Yes, Tamia," I said and pulled her into my arms.

"I am not telling you this because she is important; I am telling you this so you will not be surprised when she shows up and some loudmouth council member decides to use it as a jab. I do not want you to get worked up over this," I said, and she nodded slowly, so I turned her to look at me.

"I love you, Tamia. You have nothing to worry about. She blew her chance when she left me. My time with her is over now; my heart beats for only you," I said, and she did not respond.

"Was that why you were scarce all day and you blocked your mind from communication?" she asked me.

Although it was part of it, I couldn't tell her because she did not seem to be taking it well.

"No, the issue with the council is what is killing me. I am only telling you this because I want you to know so you aren't caught off guard." I said, and she nodded.

She looked at me and searched my eyes for a bit.

"I trust you, Sylvester. With all my heart," She said with teary eyes, and I knew she was worried.

I leaned close and kissed her lips.

This was why I was worried. I did not want her to be stressed about it. I held her, and she wrapped her arms around me.

"Please don't break my heart, Sylvester. I won't survive this one," She said, and her words cut me deeply.

The fact that she thought there could be a possibility made me want to check myself.

I was shocked and nervous about seeing Susan, but it wasn't because I wanted to get back with her. It was because, deep down, I was still mad that she did not break up with me properly before leaving.

"I won't, I promise. You have nothing to worry about. You own and rule my heart now. I will never betray you and our baby, Tamia. I promise you that my love is true, and it will always remain that way. Please don't be worried. Don't make me regret telling you," I said, and I heard a faint sob. I held her, and we laid down. She placed her hand on my chest, resting her body on half of mine. I touched her hair, gently stroking it and stared at the ceiling. I could not wait for the blue moon and make her mine permanently.
