The Dark Side Of Fate

~Tamia~

I left the room and headed downstairs. Linda and Avery were busy congratulating Katya, who was blushing. Katya was the first to see me since she was facing my direction.

“Luna Tamia,” She said, and I smiled at her. We were going to be sisters.

“Welcome to the family, darling,” I hugged her. She returned the hug, and I broke it and squeezed Avery’s hands, who squeezed in return.

“Katya was just telling us what made her give it up, finally,” Avery said, teasing Katya, and I raised an eyebrow at her.

“It just felt right. He… he… he was..” she was trying to find the right words.

I squeezed her shoulder gently.

“We all know the feeling. There is no need to elaborate. I am sure you two will be happy together,” I said, and she smiled.

“Oh my, there you all are,” I heard Stephanie’s cheerful voice as she approached us. I looked in her direction, and she was beaming.

“I am such a lucky woman. My sons found themselves two amazing women,” She said and turned to Katya.

“I have known you were perfect for my baby,” she said, embracing Katya, and we all laughed.

“Did you see Glenda?” she said, and we all giggled. Glenda did not look good at all when she left last night.

“Serves the bitch right. She has been trying to get her cousin in here. Putting her on Sylvester’s itinerary, busy trying to get her cousin back together with Sylvester when she should have been worried about her relationship.

Glenda thought her relationship with Dominic was certain. I was so happy to see Dominic propose to Katya in her presence. I could not help but laugh.” Stephanie said, and I could not believe what Glenda had been up to.

Not that I had an issue with Susan. Now that Sylvester and I were fated, there was nothing to worry about. Still, she would have been a serious inconvenience, and I did not want to deal with the nonsense. Good riddance.

“I am so happy, dear Avery; Marcel is over the moon. I heard him calling his family to inform them. The four of you are blessed, and I am happy to be a part of it.” She said and touched my hand. I knew she wanted to speak to me privately, so we excused ourselves.

“Tamia,” Stephanie said, looking at me and touching my hand.

“I am glad to see that you are capable. My son has found a true luna. One to accompany him through the difficult journey for the rest of his life.

I know you will raise a strong heir and help continue the Volkov bloodline. I am very proud of you. What you did for Sylvester cannot be quantified. You have saved our family from shame and disgrace.

My son is very kind, and those bastards have taken advantage of him repeatedly; I am glad they have met their match. I know you will deal with them.

Seeing how you played politics with those two bitches made me realise how strong you are. Whatever you need to do subsequently, please do it. Do it in my name until you are married to Sylvester.
