The Dark Side Of Fate

~Tamia~

Linda was excited about the Polo match. I doubt she had ever seen a live polo match before, but she seemed happy about this one. I did not want to be in Kyle’s shoes right now; the look of mischieve in Theo’s eyes spoke volumes.

I stood with Sylvester watching him put on his knee guards and boots, and he looked handsome.

“Oh my,” I said, looking at him, and he gave me his boyish grin. He was quickly the most handsome man. I knew others would say the same about their men; to each his own.

I kissed him before he put on his helmet, and he winked at me, getting prepared to mount his horse.

I could feel his excitement, and it was because he knew it would be an easy win while they had fun knocking Kyle and Max about.

They mounted their horses, and the ladies and I returned to our booth to watch the match.

The place was filled up with spectators, journalists and cameras. It was as if that was the only event taking place.

I felt terrible for those playing other sports at the same time as Sylvester’s polo match.

I knew why the place was filled up.

The four most powerful men in our world were playing. Everyone would want to see it.

The crowd cheered as Sylvester, Marcel, Theo, and Dominic rode in. The screen showed them individually, and people cheered every time the camera switched.

“Playing this evening are the Northern Beasts against the Eastern Beasts,” The commentator said. I felt Eastern Beast was too much for a bunch of amateurs.

The name alone would make people that did not know they were amateurs expect so much from them. Sadly, they would be disappointed.

I doubt they thought much about the name before choosing it. I believed they wanted to copy the north. Too bad they would get their arses kicked.

“In position one is Sir Marcel Sidorov playing attack and offence,” The commentator said, and everyone cheered.

“Position two is Sir Theodore Orlov, also on the offence. Position three is Lord Sylvester Volkov on the attacking position,” the commentator said. The crowd cheered louder when Sylvester’s name was mentioned.

Sylvester waved at people, and then he blew me a kiss. I caught it and blew mine.

It was beautiful, and the camera caught the exchange because it was displayed on the screen.

“And last but not least, Sir Dominic Volkov playing position four on the defence,” he said, and people cheered Dominic too. He waved at everyone and even at us.
