Shadows of Destiny

After The Dinner ~Tamia~ After dinner, Sylvester, Marcel and Theo went to question Liam.

We wanted to be there, but I knew why they told us to stay behind.

Although Sylvester said he wanted to see if Liam would trust them enough to talk and if he proves difficult, we will speak to him kindly and get the information out.

I know that wasn’t Sylvester’s reason, but I let it be.

We had been through too much that day for me to argue with him.

I could see his desperation.

He spoke with the two people he would have never spoken to under normal circumstances, especially Devin.

I knew the cards bothered him.

However calm he tried to be, I knew he was troubled by the cards, and so was I.

Safety and peace had become paramount, and I looked forward to solving the matter.

Avery and Linda followed me to my room.

Stephanie met us in the hallway, looking troubled, and I knew something was off.

“Luna,” I said, and she smiled at me, but her smile did not touch her eyes.

Her body language was off, and I wondered what might have transpired between her, Dominic, Jake and Katya during dinner.

Sylvester still refused to eat with them, and I knew it was because he loved eating with his friends.

It wasn’t personal, although since Jake was with us, I planned on having breakfast together to show respect and appreciation.

“Where is Sylvester?” she asked, and I frowned.

“Working’” I said, and she nodded.

Her hand had a slight tremble and did not seem at ease.

She was clutching her phone tightly.

“Stephanie,” I linked her, worried, and she looked away.

“Please see me when you are through with your friends.

It is urgent.” she linked back.

“Jake?” I asked through the mind link, and she shook her head.

“No, Please see me,” she said and walked away.

“What is with her? One minute she is happy; the next, she is a trembling mess.

Did she not arrive at the mansion in high spirits? I swear I saw some chemistry between her and Jake, but now she is a mess,” Avery said, and I ushered my friends into my room.

“I doubt it has anything to do with Jake,” Linda said, and I wondered how Linda could sum that up.

“How do you know?” Avery asked.

“She was clutching her phone too tightly,” Linda said, and we all laughed, but I was worried.

We all sat down to have some tea.

I linked a servant to serve us tea.

“Congratulations, Ave, I never got to congratulate you personally,” I said, resting my hand on her lap, and she beamed at me.

“Thank you, Tamia.

I am so excited.

I welcome the morning sickness and everything.

I am thrilled, and Marcel has been over the moon about it,” she said and then looked at Linda.

“I am sorry that I made you uncomfortable all this while.

It wasn’t deliberate, I just..” she said, about to get emotional, but Linda stopped her.
