The Dark Side Of Fate

Chapter 144 – ~Tamia~

I looked at Sylvester, and I knew he was angry. Avery went to sit on the couch while Marcel and Theodore stood around waiting for an explanation. I knew what they would hear would crush them, but they asked for it.

“Tamia, please tell them what you found out about Devin’s venture in the south,” Sylvester said, and I shook my head.

“Lord Marcel has blamed me for a lot today already. I think it is best you tell them yourself. I am here because I have been accused of causing a rift between friends,” I said, and Marcel chuckled.

“No one said that, Tamia,” he said gently.

“But you implied it,” Avery said, coming to my defence.

“Very well then. I am sorry if it came across like that. I was just disappointed that Sylvester would keep vital information from us.” He said, and I shook my head.

“Did it ever occur to you that he did it out of love and he was trying to protect the two of you?” I said and looked at Sylvester.

“The three of you grew up together; why let someone like Amanda come between the three of you? So Stephanie wrote a letter. Devin already told you that it had nothing to do with it,” I said to Marcel and Theodore, and they were silent.

“You said some pretty fucked up things to Sylvester and even forgot that he is now King. He has remained humble, loyal and trustworthy. Why doubt him? Why now, when we are so close to finishing this? Can’t you see the damage that bitch is trying to cause?

I know Amanda very well. Both Leo and I. So many times, she lied and tried to put Leo and me at loggerheads.

I would never believe anything she said, and you two have seen how she used people and tried to destroy them. No doubt she lured her mate, the father of her unborn children, to that place to kill him and yet you listen to her. So what, it triggered a memory, then what? It doesn’t mean anything,” I said and pulled a chair to sit on.
