Shadows of Destiny

Chapter 53

In The Mix Of Things ~Sylvester~ When Theodore interrupted my speech at the northern council conference, I knew something serious had happened.

I politely excused myself.

I went to him.

I could hear people murmuring, but soon, Marcel took over, and they were silent.

That was why it was best I wrote my speeches.

He just picked up from where I left off.

Theodore stood when I approached him.

“They are back,” He said, and I smiled, glad that Tamia had returned.

I was worried she might see Leo or Devin, and they would convince her to leave with them.

The painful part of that fear was that I wouldn’t have gone after her if she had willingly followed.

Otherwise, I would have given my mother, Dominic and the entire council the war they had longed for and burned the south or east to the ground.

1 “Tamia is ill.

Linda asked that I send a doctor, which I did, but then she insisted I tell you.

I think it is serious,” He said, and images of her being poisoned by Jake Brighton just to get at me flooded my mind.

I was out the door before Theodore could finish the sentence.

People were looking at me weirdly.

The moment I stepped out, I hopped into the first car I saw.

It wasn’t mine, but I was lord, and the driver was already behind the wheel.

“Volkov estate now!” I ordered him, and he started his vehicle.

I did not know who he worked for; I will have to apologise later.

We arrived at the estate, and I rushed into the building and went straight to my room.

Avery and Linda were with her.

She looked pale and sweaty but seemed a bit calm.

The doctor was examining her, and I went to hold her hands.

Knight was afraid, so I had to try and control myself.

When the doctor congratulated me that she was pregnant, I was shocked.

Knowing that Linda did not feel the same way made me still worried that Jake did.

something.

“Linda is pregnant, and she isn’t ill?” I asked the doctor.

“People experience pregnancy differently, but I will still take her blood sample to test for other things.

If there is anything, she is already recovering from it.

I will give her a mild sedative to help.

her relax and sleep it off, but there is no cause for alarm here.

She will be alright when she wakes up; she just needs to rest, ” he said, administered the sedative, and packed his things to leave.

1 I watched Tamia’s eyes close gradually until she fell asleep.

Linda and Avery excused themselves, and I stayed with her.

There was a knock on my door thirty minutes later, and I rushed to open it so the person did not bang too hard and wake Tamia up.

I knew it was my mother.

She was the only one that dared to do that.

I opened the door, and she frowned at me.

Not wanting her in my room, I stepped outside.
