Shadows of Destiny

Everything we had learned disrupted my emotions.

I did not know how to feel about being outsmarted.

We had her within our reach, and the laws had forced us to let her go.

I blamed myself for it.

I should have been ruthless where Amanda was concerned, but I let her go.

I felt sorry for her because I thought she was carrying Leo’s children.

She cooperated, and I genuinely thought she was a victim in a bad situation.

I was angry and ashamed.

There was no way we would let her succeed.

I knew if we put our heads together, we would come up with something.

I looked at Ramsey, who was silent, and I decided to use him.

“Very well, Ramsey Richford.

I appreciate your cooperation, and because of that, I will cut you a deal,” I said and sighed.

“A reduced sentence for everything you know about your daughter’s mate,” I said, and he shook his head.

His eyes were a bit misty.

“I do not want a reduced sentence, your majesty.

Right now, I choose death,” he said, and I realised I was dealing with a hardened man.

Just like his niece that tried to take her life.

The man had resigned himself.

“I have nothing to live for.

My daughter betrayed me.

My niece might be dead.

I killed my mate.

I am alone.

Even if I get a reduced sentence, what would I do with my freedom when it comes? I have fallen so low that I can never get back up again.

There is nothing for me in this world.

To think Amanda held on to her grief and destroyed me for it breaks my heart.

I do not want reduced sentencing, your majesty.

I want the death penalty,” he said, and I knew he meant it.

“But I will give you all the information in my possession.

I will cooperate with you until you do not need me anymore,” He said, and I was surprised at his resolve.

“And why will you do this? You sound exactly like Amanda,” I said to him, and he nodded.

“Just keep me locked up in silver; you know you can trust me.

Put me in the darkest cells.

I have absolutely nothing to prove,” he said, and I looked at him.

“For starters.

I think you should send someone to Cain to fish her out.

She might not go there, but something there would lead you to her.” he said, and I fought the laugh knowing Tamia had sent someone to watch her when she left the mansion.

I just nodded.
