The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 289

He had nothing to gain in enforcing the union unless he wanted to watch Leo and counter his moves.

He must have used his daughter as a spy to help him cause things that would make people doubt Leo's leadership and destabilise him.

His daughter might have been willingly or unwillingly helping him by feeding him information," he said.

It hit me that throughout the time Amanda was with us, while I was there, she visited her father too frequently. I often thought she went to report us or tried to force her father to act in her favour, but I was wrong. She was feeding him information.

The past played vividly in my mind.

Ramsey was quiet when Leo took over, and there was peace.

We all knew he was scorned by it, but he had no avenue of which to act on his emotions until fate happened.

The way he championed the union was off. He did not mind his daughter being a mistress. He said he wanted her to stay with us, and we could figure it out from there.

I felt his words were a bit off, but I did not pay any attention.

How many fathers would want their only child to be a mistress? With how Leo treated Amanda, he should have taken her away from him by now. Instead, he allowed it.

It was when Amanda got into the picture that the whole Bane issue, fearing the Dark Alpha of the Dark Wolf pack and the threat of doom to the east, became a topic of discussion in the council.

I felt it was off that we were discussing uniting with Bane against Sylvester. I felt it was odd.

I looked at the clock, and it was past midnight. What I needed to find out could not wait.

"I need to call Leo's cell," I told Sylvester, and he frowned at me but handed me my phone.

I had Leo's cell by heart, so I just dialled and hoped he would pick.

It took a while before he finally answered.

"Hello," he said with a sleepy voice.

"Leo," I said, and he was silent, then he spoke.

"Tamia?" He asked, and I could hear the break in his voice.

I felt bad realising Ramsey had ruined our marriage deliberately for his personal gains.

I wouldn't have had it any other way because Sylvester is my destiny, but Leo and I did not deserve what happened to us.

I held my pain and fought tears.

"Leo, I need your help," I said, and Sylvester frowned.

"Anything you want.." he said, and I heard a rustling sound.

"Is Amanda there?" I said, and he was silent. Then I heard a click.

"I just left the hotel suite. What do you need?" he said, and I sighed.

"Who pushed the idea that we should team up with Bane because Sylvester might come for the east?" I asked, and he sighed.

"Kyle, of course," He said, and I nodded.

"I know that much, but I need to know who put that in his head. Kyle isn't our leader; he must have had a discussion with someone, and they sort of put it in his head. Can you find out how he came up with the idea?" I asked him, and he sighed.

"Who are you suspecting, Tamia? I know you very well. You wouldn't call to ask for such a favour if you did not already have someone in mind and wanted to clarify," He said, and I sighed.

"I know this might sound off, but I think Ramsey put it in his head," I said, and he was silent.

"I know he is Amanda's father, and trust me; I am not trying to get at her.." I said, and he interrupted me.

"I can never think that, Tamia. I know you love Sylvester. I can never think you would want to get at Amanda for anything. You saved her life that day. You could have waited for them to kill her and me before surrendering to go to the north. You ensured both of us survived, so I can never think that. I need you to tell me why you think Ramsey put it in Kyle's head," He said, and I relaxed a bit.

"He wanted Amanda in our house by all means. He did not care if she would be a third wheel or miserable. He just wanted her in our home. She told me he made her lie against you. He threatened her.

She is his only child, Leo. He shouldn't do that, but then again, he was the leader of the east before we took over," I said, and I had forgotten myself and used 'WE', and I hoped it wouldn't get to Sylvester.
