The Dark Side Of Fate

Chapter 192

{Book 2} Chapter 31 – ~Leo~

The look on Sylvester’s face when I told him about Amelia showed he wasn’t happy I kept that bit to myself, but I knew he would understand why. I knew they all could understand why.

Amelia was mine to love, keep and protect. If her bloodline had been wiped away, then she shouldn’t be in existence.

Whoever was looking for her would want her for the very reason Adrik was murdered.

I wanted it to be a coincidence, so I remained in denial, but after seeing the coin and learning what Lucas Sidorov had to say about it and Sylvester’s deductions, I realised it was best to trust Amelia’s secret to my trusted friends and allies than to try to handle it alone.

Deep down, I prayed she wouldn’t be able to pick up the coin or touch it. I have never wanted anything so badly as I did at this moment. I hated to think about it, but I wanted her to be normal.

Explaining that she had unusual abilities and might be a science experiment would be challenging.

Being a Stepanov would also make her royalty, and I wondered how the world would take it.

I feared they might call for her head because her family had already been condemned and wiped out. She would be an anomaly.

I prayed Silverster would protect her secret. If not, I will go to war for her sake.

With that determination, I opened the door of my room and walked in.

Amelia was reading a book she had brought with her and sitting by the window.

I noticed she wasn’t a television person and liked reading a lot. It was a healthy habit that kept her going.

A healthy and active imaginative mind could help people cope with stress and difficulties.

It provides an avenue for escape and optimism based on what the mind is fed, and seeing the book in her hand; I knew she had only read of happy endings.

She looked at me and put down her book.

“Leo, are you done with your meeting?” She asked with a smile, and I asked the goddess why I met Amanda and not her.

I would have been happier if I had met her after losing Tamia.

Seeing how Tamia and Sylvester were, I was pleased with all that happened and somehow realised we weren’t meant to be. They were perfect together, and I could swear the light and glow in Tamia’s eyes was like I had never seen before.
