The Dark Side Of Fate

Chapter 72

~Sylvester~

I remained speechless in my office, and my mother stared at me. She looked genuinely worried, and I knew why.

I wanted to speak, but she interrupted me.

“That girl has been through a lot, and she loves you with all her heart, Sylvester, do not break Tamia’s heart,” She said with tears forming in her eyes.

“I used to want a daughter so badly, but I never had one. Tamia feels like my blood.” She said and wiped away her tears.

“I love her, Sylvester, and I love what you two have. Please,” She said and put her hand together to beg me.

“Do not break my Tamia’s heart. I know Susan is your first love, and you never got over her, but please; Tamia deserves better. Your wedding and claiming ceremony is seven weeks from now; please do not disappoint her and me. If you do, I will leave with her and my grandchild, and I will forget that you are my son,” She said with conviction in her eyes, and I knew she wasn’t lying.

“Why do you think I will be conflicted where Susan is concerned?” I asked her, and she composed herself.

“Because you keep your promises, Sylvester. You swore you would never settle down until she came back. You said you would find her and bring her back to make her your luna. You have remained single all this while, and that bitch Pamela said everything isn’t set in stone. Please, my son. Susan gave up on you and ran away. She should have hung around, fated or not. She should have waited to see what you would do, but she had no faith in you and left you alone with nothing but a letter and a broken heart. Do not destroy Tamia for her sake. I plead with you. I know you had a strong feeling for that girl, but she isn’t worth it. Please,” She said, and I felt terrible that my mother would think I would hurt Tamia for Susan’s sake.

“I love Tamia, and she is carrying my baby. I can never hurt her,” I said, and she nodded. She did not believe me, it was in her eyes, and it annoyed me a bit.

“I am nothing like my father, mother. I will never hurt the woman I love. Tamia has no family but us; I can never be cruel. I will die without her,” I said, and my mother studied my eyes and nodded.

“That was all I came to tell you; I will take my leave now,” she said and got up.

“Mother,” I called her attention, and she stopped to listen to me.

“Do not tell her about Susan. Allow me to do it myself, please,” I pleaded with her, and she hesitated before nodding, and then she left.

I sat at my desk, and my heart was still racing. Why would Susan come now after eleven years?

Why will she come to the north?

Why would Nikolay Sullivan come with her?

Was she playing on the Polo team?

I remembered how we learned horse riding and played Polo and Polocrosse together. I took an interest in the sport because of her, and it has remained my favourite since then.

Why would she return now when I had picked up the pieces of the heart that she shattered and moved on?

I was confused and angry.

I did not know how I would act when I saw her, and I did not know how I would feel.

I wondered how she was doing, if she was okay, and what she looked like now.

Was she married?

Did she have children?

Was she happy?
