The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 489

We stripped to our underwear and tried to go to the bedroom. I broke the kiss when we entered because I wanted her to see how much I cared.

The curtains were shut, the dark room was softly lit, and roses were everywhere.

They did not get the exact arrangement I wanted, but I appreciated the effort on short notice.

"For me," she said, covering her mouth, a bit shocked, and then she looked at me and looked around again; by now, I could see her tears.

"No one has ever done something for me before. This is beautiful, Leo," She said to me, and I carried her bridal style and placed her on the bed.

"You should get used to it because you deserve this and much more," I told her, leaning over her and gazing into her eyes.

I searched for a part of my soul in them and knew I would find it if I tried a bit harder.

I bent to kiss her neck, and her moan was all the invite I needed to do the things I had wanted to do to her since last night.

Amelia and I made love, and soon we lay naked and spent. Her head was on my chest while I caressed her back.

It was too early for sleep, but I knew Amelia would soon fall asleep because of the multiple orgasms she experienced. I was proud that I did not disappoint her.

"When is the meeting?" She finally asked me, and I sighed.

"Tomorrow morning," I replied, and she was silent.

"Are we going back to Mountain after then?" She asked, and I did not know the answer yet. I did not want to say something and then do something else.

"I am not sure; it depends," I said, and she kissed my chest and held me tighter. Soon she fell asleep.

I remained awake because a lot of things weighed on my mind. The most important of all was the trackers and the Alexie matter. Somehow I was uneasy about it all.

I did not need the distraction because I was trying to develop something meaningful with Amelia. Still, the trouble was knocking, and I could feel it.

I heard my phone vibrate and gently slid off the bed to get it. The name made my stomach churn.

"Hello," I said, bracing myself for the response I would get.

"Leo, where are you? We were told you landed in Lucland four hours ago," Theodore Orlov said, and I relaxed. I had thought he had called to discuss his wife's case with Kyle.

"I am staying in a hotel," I said.

"Why stay in a hotel when you have a room in the estate?" he asked, and I did not know what to tell him.

"I know you came with someone. You know you can bring her here, right? That way, Marcel and Dominic will stop trying to hook you up with ladies," he said, and we laughed.

I looked at Amelia, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed, and I doubted she was ready for that level of exposure.

"I am not sure, Theo. I doubt Amelia is ..." I started, and he did not let me finish.

"Bring her first and figure it out later. You have no business staying in a hotel," Theodore said, and I sighed.

"Also, Max Blanch is with me," I said, and Theodore was silent as expected.

"What is with those two?" Theo said, sounding irritated, and I chuckled.

"He is over Avery, Theo. He has a case that Sylvester has approved. Someone cheated in a challenge and took his pack, and he is seeking justice. Avery isn't one of the things on his mind. He moved on long ago," I said, and I knew what I was saying was true.

Unlike Kyle, Max wasn't living in denial and deceiving himself. He accepted his wrongs, and he found a way to forgive himself.

"Well, I did not know about Blanch. We will send him to the delta wing if he comes here," Theo said, and honestly, I wasn't expecting he would still invite me.

"Very well, we will join you in the estate after the hearing tomorrow," I said, and he laughed, sounding pleased.

"Is she the one?" He asked me, and I looked at Amelia and decided to play it safe.

"Still thinking about it, Theo. I am not sure, but I think we are heading somewhere," I said, and he was silent for a bit. I know he did not like what I said.

"Love is a rare thing, Leo. Do not throw it away by being too careful. Whoever this girl is, I am sure she isn't another Tamia or Amanda. She is unique, and because of that, you shouldn't compare. If you are interested, I advise you to dive in deep instead of surfing on the surface," he advised me, and I sighed. I understood his point.

"I know, and I am trying," I said.

"Well, that is a good start," he said, and I was pleased that he wouldn't ask anything else.

"See you at the hearing. Call any of us if you need anything. I will give Sylvester and Tamia the update. They hoped you would come to the Estate today, but I will let you be," He said, and we both hung up.

I stood in the room looking at Amelia as she slept peacefully in bed, and I was afraid, not of falling in love, but of breaking her.

I prayed that the goddess would grant me wisdom and strength not to mess this up.

I got into bed and pulled her close to hold her. Suddenly I regretted rejecting the bond.
