Shadows of Destiny

Chapter 114

I woke up at five in the morning.

Although it seemed early, I knew it was because I slept early.

I was famished, too, because I skipped dinner.

I linked a staff to bring me a sandwich so I could eat something before breakfast.

I dreaded breakfast.

Knowing Leo and Devin were in the estate made me nervous.

How was I going to face them? I didn’t owe Devin anything, so he was the least of my concerns, but Leo was another ball game entirely.

I could not bear seeing the hurt in his eyes.

I could tell he was hurting, and I could not handle it.

I wasn’t in love with him, but we still had ties that bound us.

He was my best friend, and we went through a lot together.

He kept all the promises he made to me except one.

I did not know how I would face him.

“What is the matter?” I heard Sylvester’s sleepy voice.

I did not know I was pacing the room until he saw me.

I looked at him; he was trying to sit in bed.

“Nothing, darling, just hungry,” I said, and he sighed.

“Are you sure that is the problem?” he asked, and I looked at him.

He said and focused his gaze on me.

He had pity in his eyes.

“I know you are avoiding Leo and Devin,” he said, and I was busted.

I went to sit at the foot of the bed, my nerves all over the place because I did not want him to think I felt anything for them.

“You need to be calm, Tamia.

Your hands are shaking.

I am not mad,” he said and moved to where I was.

He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my neck.

His scent calmed me down, and I wrapped my arms around him.

“Oh, Sylvester,” I said, letting my tears fall.

The truth was Leo was a situation I did not know how to handle.

It was easy to write a letter and truly forget about him.

Seeing him was a different ball game.

“Oh, green-eyes,” Sylvester said, gently stroking my hair.

“I know how it feels.

It is not easy to break the heart of someone you care about.

I know you saw the hope in his eyes and you are avoiding telling him to move on because you think it will crush him,” he said, voicing out my real fear, and I held on tighter.

Then he pulled away so he could look into my eyes.

“It is not your fault.

What happened is not your fault.

You would have remained loyal and faithful to him.

You loved him genuinely and supported him.

You kept your promises, but he broke his.

He created the problem and lost you.

He should have publicly rejected Amanda; none of this would have happened.

He didn’t want to let her go.

He wanted you to understand.

Ramsey only took advantage of an opportunity he created.

This is not on you, Tamia.

Do not feel guilty for moving on and falling in love again.
