The Dark Side Of Fate

Chapter 138

Chapter 138 – ~Tamia~

The moment we stepped outside, I exhaled.

“What would you like to speak to me about, Tamia?” he asked gently, and I looked at him.

“First of all, I want to congratulate you. I heard of you and Susan, and I am happy for both of you,” I said; he nodded and looked away.

“I heard a rumour that I want to confirm with you, Devin, and I need you to be honest with me.

To start with, I know you did not face Sylvester during the legendary war. I know it was Dominic, but I have kept your secret. I am telling you this so you know you can trust me,” I said, and he chuckled.

“I knew you figured it out. There was no way you would be close to Volkov and not know that fact,” he said, and I smiled.

“What do you want to ask me?” He asked, and I sighed.

“It is about your encounter with Lord Maurice Volkov,” I said, and his expression became serious.

“Nothing serious, Devin. Nothing bad; I just want to clarify, please,” I said, and he nodded reluctantly.

“I do not want trouble. The Volkovs and I have buried the hatchet. Do not resurrect an old issue, Tamia,” he warned me, and I nodded.

“I do not intend on doing that, Devin. I just want to know the truth about something. Please, I hope it is not too much to ask,” I said to him, and he sighed.

“Very well, I am listening, Tamia,” He said, and I nodded.

“I heard you got a tip from an anonymous person in the form of a letter telling you where Maurice Volkov would be and his reasons in Pridewood,” I started.

“According to this rumour, the person gave details of his Alias and his purpose there,” I said, and he frowned at me.

“Where did you hear that from?” he asked me, and I nodded.

“Late Jenny,” I said, and he balled his fist.

“What was her gain with that magnitude of lies? I did receive a letter like that, but I ignored it. I did not attack Maurice because of the letter. Jenny is full of shit. I have kept what happened that day in my heart, and I do not want to speak of it,” he said, and I frowned at him.

“What do you mean by that?” I asked, and he shrugged.

“Nothing, Tamia, just ignore those rumours. It is a lie,” he said, wanting to walk away, but I held his hand and stopped him.

“Please, Devin, I need to know what happened that night,” I said with desperation, and he frowned at me.

“What is it to you? How does this affect you?” He said defensively, and I did not know what to say.

“You need to tell me why you want to know what happened badly, or else my lips are sealed, Tamia; you do not expect me to divulge anything to you while you hold back.

These are things on which my reputation was built. You do not expect me to just let tell you. At least tell me why you want to know,” he said, and I looked at him.

“Will you tell me if I tell you?” I asked him, wanting a genuine answer.

“If you promise to keep my secret, I will,” He said, and that wasn’t good enough, especially if I needed him to come forward for Stephanie’s sake.
