Shadows of Destiny

A Difficult Request ~Tamia~ Morning came, and Sylvester and I got ready for breakfast.

It was going to be a busy day, but I was not feeling up to it.

I was a bit tired even though we didn’t do anything and I had just woken up from sleep.

I did not think much of it and just got ready quietly.

Once we were done getting ready, we went to the dining room to have breakfast.

Everyone was there as always, and we ate in silence.

What happened with Dominic had brought gloom into our lives.

I hoped the matter was solved quickly.

I prayed it did not linger because we all deserved better.

Our love was still young; we were still getting to know each other and trying to manoeuvre through our differences to accept them and make it work.

This matter needed to be solved as soon as possible.

“Tamia will be accompanying us to question Dominic and Larry,” Sylvester announced, and Marcel nodded.

“I want Avery to come with us too,” Marcel said, and Sylvester didn’t seem okay with it, but he did not complain.

Theodore requested to bring Linda along, and I touched Sylvester’s lap to stop him from making a scene.

I could not really eat, so I just pushed my food about the plate picking the bits and stalling for breakfast to be over.

We finished, and Sylvester decided to go to the cells on the property to question Dominic.

As we moved towards the place, I remembered when Dominic attacked my friends and me and locked us up because of councilwoman Jenny’s death and the attack on his mother.

I was still baffled why the attackers spared Stephanie’s life.

It really didn’t add up.

1 When we got there, we noticed Dominic outside his cell in chains standing with some officers.

“What is going on here?” Sylvester growled.

He was angry.

“What is the council task force doing here?” he asked, and the men saluted him and bowed their heads immediately.

“Your eminence, the council has ordered that we move him to the council prison,” One of them said.

“Under whose orders and why?” Sylvester asked.

“It was a collective decision by all council members.

The act of treason is judged and punished by the council,” The man said and handed Sylvester a paper.

Sylvester did not bother to read the piece of paper.

He just tore it.

“Out of my house now!” he ordered them, and they shook; even I shook because there was an authority in his voice.

We let them leave, and Sylvester’s Kappas ushered Dominic to a room.

We followed, and as soon as Dominic sat down, he looked at Sylvester.

“What would you gain in this? You already have it all.

Why lock me up? First, your woman threatened mother to keep me at home, and now I am being tried for treason.

What happened to you, Sylvester? We used to fight, but nothing like this,” He said with disbelief, and I could see he was genuinely hurt.

“It stopped being fair when you decided to forge my signature and seal and send Bryce to stir up shit in the east.

You knew the development tax issue was false, yet you still chose to use that same method to cause trouble for me.

Why?” Sylvester asked him, and he looked at me.

“Do not look at Tamia; focus on me, Dominic.

I need to know why you would actively work against me,” he said, and Dominic’s eyes welled up with tears.
