The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 439

I looked at Vino, and he bowed his head. No matter how angry he was, he still cared for her, but I knew what I had done was for the best. Amanda couldn't love anyone other than herself and her selfish ambitions.

Amanda was carried away while we discussed other trivial matters about the prisoners.

Sylvester told them the yardstick for the crime. All lesser participants were to be sentenced to jail, while those that fought -revolted or actively caused harm were to be beheaded.

We did not have much space in our prisons and could not start building another prison because of them.

Killing most offenders by beheading was the fastest way to reduce the prison population.

We eventually agreed, and everyone was free to leave.

Things had gone better than we had hoped. No crime could be pinned on Stephanie, so Sylvester did not need to sentence her, and Vino was pitied instead of hated.

No one asked for justice where he was concerned, so he was a free man too. It was now time to get back to our lives and live them the best way we could, free of trouble.

Leo came to say hello and told me he would return to the east that day. I hoped he and Devin would hang out with us a bit but duty called.

I was glad to finally see the light in Leo's eyes. I was satisfied that he had indeed moved on, and I prayed that the goddess would bless him because he was too young and kind to live the rest of his days alone.

We left the hall and returned to the estate happy.

Marcel's mother tried to visit the estate two days after the hearing but was denied entrance. Lucas wasn't ready to face her yet, so Avery told me that Marcel asked his mother to give his father time.

It was sad to learn that the allegations against her weren't entirely true, but she claimed to sleep with Maurice once, which was a mistake. Nonetheless, Lucas still needed time before he could speak to her.

Four Months Later.

I was in the delivery room in the estate. Sylvester sat beside me, holding my hands while I squeezed with all my might through the contractions. When Linda went into labour, I felt sorry for her and believed I had prepared myself for this, but I was wrong.

The fact that I was told not to push until I was fully dilated frustrated me the most.

"We will almost be done, darling," Sylvester said, squeezing my hand.

I could see the worry in his eyes. He kissed my hand several times and looked at the doctor.

I knew he was linking him and did not want me to know. It was okay. As long as my twins came out alive and well, I would be happy.

Linda followed the trend and had triplets. Two boys and a girl, and they were gorgeous. They named them Lilly, Miles and Oliver.

I was eager to find out what I would be having and, likewise, Avery too. When we did our ultrasound, I found out that I was having twins, and Avery had one healthy baby.

Both of us were taken by the news, and we could not wait to welcome our bundles of joy into the world.

"I will need you to push now," the doctor finally told me, just like Linda told me to do. I waited for the following contractions and began to push.

It didn't take long before my babies came out. They were healthy and well.

"Congratulations, you have a boy and a girl," The doctor said, and Sylvester kissed my clammy forehead and then kissed my lips.

"Thank you, darling, for completing my life," he said, and I could not speak because I was feeling emotional about his action.

He looked at the babies where they kept them, ready to clean them, and I could see the joy in his eyes. I was glad everything had worked out for us.

I was cleaned, and then the doctor said I could return to my room, so they could clean the delivery room.

Sylvester carried me to our bedroom.

The bed had been made, and two temporary cots were placed in the room.

"The doctor said you will bathe later; you just need to rest. My mother will come with our babies," He assured me, tucking me into the bed, but I did not want to sleep until I saw my twins.

Stephanie, Avery, Katya and Nicole finally came to the room with my babies.

They were all smiles. They came to congratulate Sylvester and me.

I could see pure joy in Stephanie's eyes. She was happy to finally have the grandma status.

The men came to congratulate Sylvester.

Even though Stephanie was hoping we would have a huge party to announce the birth of the babies, Sylvester and I refused.

We wanted peace, and she soon caved and let the matter rest.

Sylvester and I named them Liam and Harper.

Two months after the birth of my twins, Avery gave birth to her son, Marvin, and it was a full house. We had never been so happy in our lives. Although we knew there was more to come, this was the beginning of a new phase for us, and we embraced it.
