The Dark Side Of Fate

Chapter 153 – ~Tamia~

The two days’ rest was much needed. Within those two days, the test results finally came through, and indeed Vino was a Volkov.

Sylvester felt terrible about it because he could understand how Vino might have grown up; knowing his father never wanted him must have messed with his self-esteem and self-worth.

He was mad at Jenny for taking advantage of her son like she did and at Larry for ruining Vino’s life. Amanda was no good, and she would have killed Vino had they not intercepted her.

We were glad the ordeal was over, but things still needed to be done. Realising Vino had it worse than David changed Sylvester’s perspective and softened his heart towards the guy. We planned to address the matter after the wedding.

We used the remaining time to prepare. Stephanie, Katya and Nicole had done everything, so nothing seemed rushed.

A day before the wedding, Sylvester, Theodore, Marcel and Dominic moved to another wing. We would not see each other until during the ceremony.
