The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 199

I placed my head against his chest, and he wrapped his arms around me and turned on the water.

"I want my green-eyed beauty back," he said, and I dug my nail into his skin.

"Tamia," he groaned in a sexy way, and I looked up at him.

He crashed his lips on mine and kissed me hungrily. His kiss said it all; he was mine and no one else's.

I wrapped my legs around him, eager for him to pound into me, and he did not disappoint.

We moved from the shower to the bed.

I had been distant for over a week. It was expected behaviour that he would ravage my body, and I liked it.

Sylvester made love to me, and I could feel his heart and intention with every passion and stroke.

I came twice before he released into me, but his dark eyes let me know the night was only beginning.

The day of the ball finally came, and I dressed in a cream dress to fit the event's mood.

Leo, Kyle and Max had changed their minds and decided they would attend.

I could only imagine Linda and Avery making an effort to look good.

I couldn't blame them. The men deserved the shock. I was counting on Leo to be civil. Devin was still not coming, so I would not have drama to deal with.

Sylvester was in the closet dressing up when there was a knock on the door.

I asked the person to come in, and Stephanie entered the room in an onyx dress.

She looked young and beautiful.

She could easily pass for Sylvester's older sister, and I wondered how Maurice could treat her so terribly, but I could also see why he couldn't let go.

She was a beauty. She held a jewellery box, smiled, and walked to me.

"You look beautiful, Tamia. You look like a goddess," She said, and I thanked her.

I put a lot of effort into the dress and make-up. The lace cream dress hugged my body and gave me a mermaid shape.

It was backless with a halter neck and no sleeves.

The left slit showed my long legs, and the beautiful golden high-heeled slipper I was wearing complemented the dress.

I wore my hair down straight and parted in the centre.

My make-up was subtle but beautiful. I was still contemplating what to wear as jewellery.

Stephanie looked at me and smiled.

"I am here to check on you and make sure you are alright," She said, and I nodded and smiled at her.

"Be confident in your love, Tamia. That girl does not have good intentions, but I know Sylvester will not betray you," She said, and I frowned at her, wondering why she would say that.

She smiled and winked at me, so I prompted her to tell me what she had done.

"Please tell me why you say she doesn't have good intentions?" I said, and she smiled.

"She tried to get in here to see Sylvester two days ago, but I had given orders at the entrance that no one is let in, especially her, only on the day of the ball.

I do not want her to have time alone with my son. I blocked her twice, and yesterday I went to see her in their home in Lucland to tell her to back off.

I told her my son had moved on and that you two were getting married soon. She shouldn't think she can just walk away and come back and find him waiting for her. I did not say it nicely, either. I wanted to hurt her with my words, and I wanted her to back off. She wept, of course, but I need her to get the message." She said and winked.

"You are my daughter, Tamia, and the only woman I want with my son. I will protect you and my grandchild," she said and gave me the jewellery box,

It had a golden bracelet with diamonds and looked really beautiful.

"I picked it out for us yesterday," She said, showing me hers, an exact replica, and I felt loved.

She helped me wear it on my wrist, and I thanked her. She left me alone, and I turned to look at myself in the mirror. The bracelet was all the jewellery I would need. It was perfect.
