The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 778

I left the room and headed toward's Gezel's room. I did not hesitate to knock on her door, and she opened it after the first knock. She did not even ask who it was. She just opened the door.

"Leo," she said, a bit surprised.

"Who were you expecting?" I asked her, and she stepped aside for me to enter.

"I was expecting your parents. It has been a long time since I heard from them. Luis was alive when I saw Richardo and Martha. They had come to see how Luis was doing and warn him of Yuri's plans," She said and almost slipped down memory lane. I did not come for that, so I nodded quickly and sighed.

"I am glad you can connect again. They did not tell me they knew you. I think they believed you were killed. Anyway, that isn't why I am here. I am here to discuss something vital," I said, and she was attentive.

"Please sit. I am yet to settle in, but it is a nice room," She said, complementing the place.

"Thank you. Amelia fixed up the place," I said, and she smiled. There was an awkward silence between us, and I broke it.

"Gezel, why would you request to fight?" I asked, and she looked at me surprised.

"It is my decision to fight and kill those responsible for Luis' death." She said coldly, and I shook my head.

"Erik had already executed Mikhail.." I said, and she interrupted me.

"I want my pound of flesh, Leo. They took everything from me for no reason. Luis was everything, Amelia was everything, and I lost it all. They forced me to go into hiding like a coward. They stole my wealth and everything that had to do with the Westwoods. I deserve my revenge." She said, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"But you will get it, Gezel. We will get it for you," I said, and she shook her head.

"There are things that I will just have to get for myself, and revenge is one of those things, Leo. You weren't there. You did not witness it, so you won't understand," She said, and I realised fate had dealt her a dark card. She had been scorched for a long time.

"Gezel, we both know you are planning a suicide mission," I confessed, and she was stunned by my words.

"We both know what you want to do. It is all because you can't connect with Amelia. After all, she treats you like a stranger…." I said, and she covered her ears and shook her head, streaks of tears streaming down her cheeks. I had hit the nail on the head.

"You just met her, Gezel. You have to give her time. She has longed for her mother for a while. Before Alexei, she was told that her mother was an Omega that got pregnant for a delta and dumped her at the orphanage when she could no longer cope. She grew up thinking she wasn't wanted. No one would adopt her, and the orphanage made it worse by blaming it on her breed and her appearance. She had a hard life with no parents to help her navigate through. I can't start by telling you what your daughter had to deal with or in what state I met her. It will break your heart," I said, and she began to cry.

"And now that things are beginning to come together and the future looks bright, you decide to do this?" I said.

"Do not give up on her. Gezel. Amelia just needs time. She has gone through so much and lost so much on her journey. She had said goodbye to you in her subconscious, and having you pop out of nowhere would destabilise her. Gezel, you cannot follow us to Gad in four days. You cannot join us in that battle," I said, and she looked at me with swollen eyes.

"I have to, Leo. It is the only thing that makes sense to me right now. It is all I have got. Please don't stop me," She pleaded with me, and I sighed.
