The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 540

"Avery is pregnant, Leo has finally moved on, and Linda has never been so happy. I was scared. What would I tell their children? I thought of all the ways things could go wrong. I thought I would lose my friends," she wept, and I held her.

It was quite devasting to Tamia.

Other than me, the only people she knew as family were in the crash. Here I was, thinking she was mad because of me. Little did I know that it had nothing to do with me.

Tamia broke the hug and looked at me with rage in her eyes.

"We need to catch those bastards. Stepanovs or not, I do not care, but we need to catch them. Who says they wouldn't do this again? Luckily for us, Amelia was there; what if she wasn't? She doesn't live in the north, and we cannot use her like that. She, too, will have her limits, Sylvester. We need to catch them. I do not care how, but I want to arrest Alexie and Clay. I want to know how they used silver on their opponents. I believe Max right now. I believe everything he said. They might not have a hand in this, but we have to start from somewhere." She said with rage in her eyes, and all I could do was hold her.

"You need to be calm, my love. Take comfort knowing they're okay. Acting out of anger will cause us to make mistakes. I am equally affected by the matter. Theodore and Marcel aren't just my best friends; we are distant cousins. They are my family too.

Taking them away would be the same as ripping my soul out. We have done everything together, and our friendship has been tight. Because of them, I had something Dominic did not have growing up. I had companionship; I learned to play and let go. They are a part of me. If I tell you I did not feel it, I am lying to you Tamia, because I felt it. I felt every bit of it, and it hurt, Tamia." I confessed, remembering exactly how hard it was for me to compose myself. That was why I sat in the back and let Vino drive.

"We cannot be irrational, my love. It will be stupid of us, and we might end up playing into their hands that way." I said, and Tamia nodded.

"The fear I felt made me force Vino to follow us back; there was no way I would leave Vino in Lucland where they could get him. Leo hates him, and we both know why. I had to ask him to return even though he wanted to stay in the hospital because I was afraid. Please Tamia, calm down," I said, and she looked at me with her green eyes and nodded.

I kissed her on her lips to help us calm down and assure her everything would be okay. Then, I tried to break the kiss, but she held on to me, and I continued to kiss her. I travelled from her lips to her neck and kissed my mark gently. I felt her relax. That was all I wanted. I wanted her to be relaxed, and I had achieved that.

I finally broke away and smiled at her.

"My mother is on her way here. Guess she couldn't sleep. We will just speak to her briefly and send her back to her room." I told Tamia, and she smiled to assure me she was okay. I left the closet and heard the knock on the door.

I walked to the door quietly and opened the door for my mother.

My mother stepped in, wearing her night robe and swollen eyes. Evidently, she had been crying, and Jake had been consoling her.

Once Jake handed his pack to his son, he had been a permanent resident at the Volkov estate.

I had suggested that they get a house in town, but right now, I knew it would be a bad idea. I did not want anyone getting to my mother and using her against me.

My mother walked in and looked around. Tamia was still in the closet. I knew my mother was searching for her.

"She is fine, mother. She is dressing up in the closet," I told her, and she sighed with relief.

My mother covered her mouth and sobbed. I pulled her close and hugged her.

"They are all fine, mother. Avery and Marcel are in recovery. Theodore and Linda are back, and Leo and Amelia are in the hospital to keep Avery and Marcel safe. They are fine," I said, and she pulled away from me.

"I was afraid. Dominic told us, and I wanted to follow, but Tamia said no," she said, and I was surprised that Dominic was the one that broke the news and not David. I felt terrible a bit because Knight growled at him.

"It is okay, mother," I told her, and just then, Tamia came out of the closet, and my mother went to hug her. They hugged for a bit before breaking the hug.
