130 Dealing With The Moment

~Tamia~

The news of Jake’s predicament got to me. When Stephanie told me what had happened, I was afraid.

I was afraid that she might lose him too. I know how Sylvester described Stephanie when her husband passed away. Even though they had a lot of issues between them, she mourned him for a long time in her own way. Jake was going to be worse because she was in love with him.

His status did not matter neither did his pocket.

They were just perfect for each other.

To have a love like that ripped away from her would be cruel. I, too, wanted a piece of Yuri. He had done too much for nothing. Sylvester had corrected the wrong, and the Stepanovs had yet to celebrate their liberation.

I did not know why he would attack Brighton. It was either based on malice, or he was planning something. I just hoped we would be ready for what was to come.

I went to Stephanie’s room, and Claudia was already there. I wondered how she got there before me.

I sighed and walked in. Stephanie was too broken to acknowledge my presence.

“He will make it. You have to be hopeful,” I said to her and went to sit beside her at the foot of her bed to calm her down. She leaned against me a bit, and I held her while she wept.

Just then, Nicole and Katya walked in. Katya rushed to hold her, and I shifted to create space forthem.

“I told him to come to the north, but he wanted to be there when they attacked Brighton. He did not want his son and nephew to face that alone. He had already lost his daughter. He did not want to lose his son. I tried to plead with him,” Stephanie said, speaking to all of us, and none of us had anything to tell her. We were as worried as she was.

“Vino requested that I come here to sedate her, but I am waiting for you or the King to approve it,” Claudia linked me.

I could understand why Vino would want her sedated. There was no way we could guess what she might do in the meantime.

“Wait for Sylvester,” I linked her back, and she nodded.

It was great to see how Claudia fitted in easily. I hoped she would be able to cope with the triplets.

Sylvester walked in later, and everyone stood to greet him, including myself. Not that it was required, but his mother was the one in need of attention. It was just a reflex.
