Shadows of Destiny

Planing A Ball -Tamia- A week passed, and Sylvester and I did not mention what we knew.

We did not even speak of it in private.

We had utterly buried it, and Stephanie was grateful.

Glenda and Dominic were at it again, and Sylvester was planning to move them to the house’s east wing because they fought in the halls at night.

They fought about everything.

Sometimes I would hear Dominic end it, and they would get back together within minutes.

They were psychos, and even though I knew Maurice was a douchebag, I could understand why he did not deem Dominic worthy of anything.

There was no way Dominic would be able to lead the council.

He was controlled by his emotions and did not have a mind of his own.

I was glad his relationship with Larry was strained, and Larry had started trying to cosy up to Sylvester.

The old man had no shame.

Linda had turned Jenny’s journals into her book of jokes.

The woman was delusional, and it showed in her entries.

We would often joke about some things she said during dinner.

It was great.

While we did that, we practised croquet because that was the only sport we were allowed to partake in, due to our conditions.

We planned our uniforms and our mates’ polo team uniforms.

I was serious about the black and white uniforms.

So I had them make the same for our croquet team.

The women in the harem that were on our team, most especially Katya, asked of Lilly, but we did not tell them anything.

The investigators had searched the women in the harem, and nothing was found on them, leaving Lilly and Sofia Malek as the only culprits.

They were going to be judged and punished for all to see, but it would have to be after the games.

In the meantime, they were languishing in a cell in the estate.

We were supposed to send them to the council prison, but we needed to find out the people she worked for.

We needed to protect ourselves and our investigation.

Due to these reasons, we kept their arrest and imprisonment a secret.

“Tamia,” Stephanie called out to me in the great hall of the estate, where the VIP ball would take place; Alphas and sports team captains with the council members will be attending.

We planned on using the eastern garden and the hall as the venue because we doubted we could contain all the guests in the hall.

We had a professional event planner, Lacy Brian, planning the ball, but I had to keep busy, so my friends and I decided we would supervise the event planner.

The woman was rude and did not respect us.

Lacy felt we had no say, but we were stubborn about what we wanted.

I fought the urge to report her to Sylvester.

I had to make people respect me without getting my man involved all the time.

My friends understood my reason and decided to follow in my footsteps by unapologetically insisting she does what we want.

We were standing in the hall going through the colours with the event planner when Stephanie joined us.
