Shadows of Destiny

~Sylvester~ Tamia woke me up from sleep, and I realised it was nighttime.

I must have fallen asleep while resting.

“Sleeping,” she teased, and I managed to sit in bed.

“Where are you going?” I asked, noticing she was in her casual outfit.

“You do not expect me to go to dinner in my nightwear,” she said, and I looked at the clock.

It was seven-thirty.

I managed to get off the bed to get ready for dinner.

“Were you with Nicole all the while?” I asked her while I changed my clothes because I had slept in the ones I had on.

“No. I went to see Amanda.

Learned a lot of things and then had tea with my friends.

Nicole joined us during tea, but they will have dinner in our former dining room.

I did not want awkwardness there, and besides, we have an operation to discuss,” She pointed out, and I nodded.

“What did you learn from Amanda?” I asked her, and she sighed.

“Well, for starters, I have a flash drive she claims has the names of all Ramsey’s associates,” she said, and I looked at her, leaving my shirt unbuttoned.

She showed me the drive in her hand and giggled.

“How?” I asked her.

“According to her and Annika, she has been lying to her father.

She knew he would find out soon, so she took an insurance policy to make sure he left her alone when he found out.

She hid it in Leo’s bag.

I sent Wilson to get the bag, and I asked Leo to hand it over to me.

This is it,” she said, grinning, and I buttoned up my shirt and went to her.

I took the drive from her while kissing her.

There was peace and giddiness in me.

“It is all strange.

Why didn’t she give it to Leo before he brought her here?” I asked her, and she shrugged.

“I thought as much, too, but right now, we need all the information we can get,” Tamia said, and I sighed.

“Can we trust what she has?” I asked Tamia, and she shrugged.

“Trust is a strong word when it comes to Amanda.

But we can check it out and see if she is telling the truth.

I also released her silver bracelet and had two maids attend to her,” she said, and I was a bit uncomfortable.
