The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 491

"She is my friend," She said with a funny tone, and we laughed.

"So what is happening?" She finally asked me, and I shrugged my shoulders.

"Nothing, just the same," I replied, and she smiled.

"How does being queen feel like?" She asked, and I shrugged.

"Honestly, other than the meetings, it is normal," I replied, and she rolled her eyes.

"Do not get me started about those meetings, Tamia. Now that I have a case, I do not look forward to going to the King's hall. I hate seeing that man; he has a deep sense of entitlement. Imagine the guts he had to say I gave those things to him and that because I no longer live in the east, he has the right to keep them?" She said, and I knew Kyle's words and conduct got to her, but we could do nothing about it. Sylvester could give an order, but we wanted Kyle to let go of Linda's things without exerting force. It did not seem like the matter was going peacefully, but we would try.

"Is Stephanie back?" I asked her, knowing my mother-in-law would be returning from Brighton, and she nodded.

"With Jake," Linda added, and we both laughed.

The romance between Stephanie and Jake was so much that they seemed like teenagers. I wondered what made them click, hoping it would lead to something beautiful.

They both deserved a happily ever after, and I hoped they get it.

While thinking of them, Leo crossed my mind, and I said a silent prayer for him in my heart.

"Dear goddess, please help Leo find love again and give him the strength and courage to open up and cherish what he is given. I know he is a broken man; fix him and send him true love that would keep him," I prayed, and Linda's face dropped because she knew I was deep in thought.

"What is playing in your mind, Tamia?" She asked, and I shrugged, but my eyes gave it away.

"He isn't a baby, Tamia. You bounced back and moved on. He did you badly, but you moved on. He should heal from what Amnda did. If he can't, then too bad. You have done enough. Sylvester has done enough. Leo will be fine. I am sure he is having the time of his life right now," she said, trying to cheer me up, and it worked. I smiled at her.

The toys arrived, and I heard Theo and Sylvester sigh with relief. They had a tough time coping with the children. The toys solved the toy scarcity issue our children were having.

"Have you heard from Vino?" Linda asked me, and I shook my head.

"It's been four months. I hope he is fine," She said, and I was worried too.

Vino got up one day and decided to travel with his daughters four months ago.

Although he went with nannies to help him care for the girls, he had been silent since then. I planned on asking Sylvester to find him because I was worried.

He hadn't been okay since he returned from the hospital.

Realising that the woman he loved was only using him wasn't easy. Everything was taken from him. He was disgraced and replaced. I know Silvester tried to cushion his fall, but a fall is a fall nonetheless, and he felt it. He needed therapy, not a trip, and I hoped Sylvester would get his brother some help.

Linda and I began strolling in the garden while discussing other things.

"The council meeting is tomorrow, and Leo said he is coming," Linda told me, and I nodded.

"He wants me to look into an extinct lineage of the Volkov bloodline. He said he found a girl with eyes peculiar to that Lineage. I have researched but must seek Stephanie and Jake's knowledge to know enough," I told her, and she was interested.

The glint in Linda's eyes said it all.

We had all been bored for a while, so any assignment that would have to do with thinking and investigating was welcomed.

"What is the name of this bloodline? So I can help with the research," She asked me, and I chuckled at the eagerness in her voice.
