The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 571

"May I see him, Leo?" she finally asked, wiping away her tears.

There was an eagerness in her.

I knew I was her family, but there was something about people you shared the same genes with. The connection was different.

Alexei was the closest she would get to know her father. The man that had given his life to save hers.

"My parents loved me, Leo," she said with a smile slowly forming on her face.

"My family loved me," she repeated, and I knew she was telling herself.

"Miss Lucy always said otherwise. She made me feel unloved. The matrons at the orphanage said I was useless, a product of an affair, a bastard. That only high-born bastards that their families are ashamed of end up in orphanages.

They made me feel like shit for fourteen years. I carried the weight of being unwanted and unloved for fifteen years. I …" she said and began to weep.

I pulled her close, and she buried her face in my chest and wept.

"I used to hate my mother. They told me she was an Omega that didn't want to have anything to do with me. I hated my father and did not wish him well either. I was jealous of children that got adopted.

Anytime I saw a child with their parent, I would believe that I was truly unwanted because even poor people keep their young ones," She said, weeping.

"My mother went into hiding to protect me; my father died so I could live. What greater love is there than that of a parent willing to lay down their life for their child to live," she said, and I knew what she was doing.

"I thought the worst of Alexei because of what he did to Max. Although not from the same mother, he looked for me." She said and looked at me with a happy teary face.

"I was wanted all along. I was loved and cherished. I was needed." She said, and I knew she was giving herself closure in those moments. She wrapped her arms around me and squeezed tightly.

"You have brought me joy, Leo. Goddess bless your soul, and I pray what we have last," She said. Her words touched me, and I wrapped my arms around her and then kissed her head because her face was buried in my chest.

"I will love you until I take my last breath, Amelia. You are worth everything and much more," I told her, letting her know the people at the orphanage were wrong.

"I want to see him, Leo. I want to see my brother." She said, and I linked Casper to bring Alexei to my home. I told him to drive down. Walking would take thirty minutes, and I didn't want Amelia to wait.

They arrived twelve minutes later. Casper did not know what was going on.

He entered my house while Alexei remained behind him. Casper was about to speak when I asked Alexei to come in.

Amelia broke away from me and looked at her brother. There were genuine emotions in Alexei's eyes, and I could see he truly meant well. He looked nervous and uncertain. Casper excused us.

Amelia broke away from me and rushed to hug Alexei.

The moment she wrapped her arms around him, he began to laugh with joy and wrapped his arms around her.

I heard myself growl.

Alexei looked at me and removed his arms from around her. I felt a bit embarrassed, but Black was possessive like that.

They broke the hug, and Amelia offered Alexei a seat.

I knew they had much catching up to do, so I told Casper to keep Max and Kyle occupied and not return to my house until Alexei left.

I would have to deal with Max later and ease his hatred towards Alexei, but I was glad Amelia finally found her family.
