The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 350

"She had the opportunity to come clean, and she never did. She could have given me the flash drive when I confronted her, but she refused. I would be careful around her if I were you, Tamia. The woman is dangerous and cannot be trusted. I can't believe that I threw away my life for her sake. What I did was stupid, and it would haunt me for the rest of my life, but I want a breather for now. I want to take a break from the love department and re-evaluate my life and self-worth. One thing I know is that I will never risk what I have for something fleeting again," he said with misty eyes, and I hugged him.

He bent his head on my shoulder and wept.

"I am sorry, Tamia." he wept bitterly, and I let him hold me.

"I forgive you, Leo," I said, but I knew he would need time to forgive himself. We broke the hug, and he wiped away his tears.

I Linked Kappa Wilson to join me so we could escort Amanda to see Annika.

I entered Amanda's room, and Leo walked away. He did not want to see her. For fated people, his hatred for her was so intense that it was almost palpable.

I saw Amanda weeping on the couch. She looked as if she was utterly heartbroken. She looked at me with her swollen eyes but remembering what Linda and Avery said and Leo's mistrust towards her, I had my guard up.

"I heard you want to see Annika before you leave," I said, and she nodded.

"He rejected me, Tamia. He rejected me," She said, and I did not know what to tell her.

"You shouldn't have refused his help, Amanda, but I won't ask you to. Come on, I do not have all day. A driver is waiting to take you to the airport. You can have five minutes with your cousin, that is all," I said sternly, and she nodded. She stood up and placed her hands in her pockets.

We exited the room, and Wilson and I escorted her to the dark dungeons with heavy security. I noticed the food served by Luna's in-service, and the prisoners seemed well cared for. I wondered when Sylvester planned on moving them to the council prison. I guess I will discuss it with him later.

We went to where Annika was being held, and Amanda went to her. Their hands touched through the bars, and Annika was in tears.

"Amy," She said to her cousin, and Amanda began to cry.

"I am sorry. Annika, I should have kept.." she started, and Annika interrupted her.

"It is not your fault. I failed myself. I made the wrong decisions and failed," She said, and I did not feel an ounce of sympathy for them.

"They will bring you before the council. Just tell them," she said to Annika, and Annika nodded.

"Once you are free, come find me," Amanda said, and Annika nodded. I hated spoiling their hope, but Annika would not be free because a council won't oversee their trial; I would oversee their trial as queen. I wanted to laugh, but I held it.

I knew they were mind-linking each other, and we did not have the full information of what they were discussing, but I noticed that Annika began to weep seriously. I could only guess what Amanda might have told her.

Amanda was crying too, and it was time for her to leave.

"Say hello to her for me," Amanda said to Annika, and I felt it was a strange conversation. Maybe Amanda knew Olga too. Too bad they won't be getting out of this free of charge.

"Uncle will burn," Annika said, and I figured they both hated Ramsey. What a dysfunctional family.

I asked Kappa Wilson to have a Kappa watch her just in case her hands were dirty because her conversation with Annika was a bit off.

We left the dungeons, and Kappa Wilson led her to the car while I joined Sylvester in the western garden.
