The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 214

"We will be late," I said, not wanting us to read meanings into our discovery.

We arrived outside, and the Limo was waiting. We got inside, and I could see Avery was a bit annoyed.

"We have been waiting for thirty minutes," She complained, and I smiled at her.

"You are lucky we didn't make you wait longer," I teased, and everyone laughed because it implied Sylvester and I was making love while they waited.

We left for Lucland in high spirits. I could not wait to see what would happen to Kyle and Max on the field. It would be awesome.

We got to the venue.

Since the games were yet to begin, everyone was lined outside the gate that led to the lands.

The red carpet was rolled out for us as we exited the Limo. Dominic and Glenda had already arrived, and I could swear I saw murder in the woman's eyes when she looked at me, but I ignored it. The council members were there too, and Vino smiled and waved at me. I waved back.

Dominic gave a welcome speech and cut the ribbon, and everyone cheered, and we entered the gate.

I was expecting a stadium or an arena. It had both and had other fields too.

People were to go to the area where they played their preferred sports. I wondered where we would play Croquet, but I knew it would be fun. There were mini carts that were made available for us to move about the place to watch sports.

I was sure Sylvester must have organised it because of Linda and me. I could see it in his eyes, so I did not bother asking so I didn't make Avery unhappy.

We went to the polo field, and the list of teams was rolled out on the table.

The western Polo strikers were going against the Eastern Bulls. I checked the player's list, and it wasn't Leo's team.

Southern Sharks were going against Northern Bears. I checked the list and did not see Devin's name.

There were three other southern teams.

"There had been a last-minute adjustment to the matches," I heard the commentator announce, and I wondered why that was.

We went to sit in our booth, which was cosy and had shade.

"Theo went to ensure they put our team against Leo's Team," Sylvester said, and I realised Theo was going to give Linda her wish and beat the crap out of Kyle on the field. This was going to be hard to see.

The first match began, and we watched from our booth. Sylvester's game would take place the next day, so all we were doing was observing.

Theo returned grinning from ear to ear.

"What happened?" Marcel asked him.

"Our friends said they are amateurs for polo and wanted out because it won't be a fair match. It was clear they did not know how this worked because they forgot that it only meant they were to add another sport to the list so they would have a chance of winning something, in case they lost in the game they claim to be amateurs in. I kindly signed them up for rugby," Theo said with a wicked grin.

"And I signed us up for rugby too. We will get them in polo and in rugby," he said, and Marcel laughed with anticipation and likewise Sylvester. They were not going to play to win. They were going to play to kick their arses. I felt sorry for Leo.

The day was eventful. Western strikers won against the eastern bulls, and the southern sharks won against the Northern bears.

The winners would move to the next round, while the losers would play another game to get a chance at winning. If they lose, they are out completely. We moved from the polo section to watch the rugby, and we enjoyed the match. I could only imagine what would happen to Kyle and Max. I was sure by now they would know our men were after them because Theo had deliberately signed them up for rugby to get a go at them.

The day ended, and we returned to the duplex.

Linda continued talking about how some people would get their arses whooped, and the funny part was that Theo humoured her.

They looked like teenagers, and it was cute.

Who would have thought that they would be so good together? I was happy for Linda. She wasn't the same drunken depressed woman I knew in the east. She was a different person, and she radiated.

We arrived at the house, and I was famished.

This would be the first night we would have dinner with Stephanie and Dominic. I wasn't worried because we had bonded at different points. It wouldn't be difficult and awkward as it was in the beginning.

Sylvester and I showered quickly. My tummy was growling, and I hoped they would have enough food. I began to suspect I might have more than one baby growing inside me with the rate I was eating.

We arrived at the table, and everyone was there, including Glenda.

I could not forget that Susan had mentioned her name, and it seemed the bitch was the one that encouraged Susan to try to take my man.
