The Dark Side Of Fate

155 Anxious Reunion

-Sylvester-

The journey to Lucland felt like an eternity, filled with worry and apprehension. Each of us concealed our concerns behind a brave facade, but deep down, our hearts were heavy.

Before boarding the flight, I repeatedly tried calling Tamia’s number and my office line, desperate to ensure everything was alright. The thought of something going wrong was unbearable.

Looking around the aircraft, I saw the sombre expressions on Leo, Marcel, Devin, and David’s faces, their unease palpable.

Alexei and Clay appeared nervous as well. Our worries were centred on the safety of our beloved women. Fortunately, a helicopter awaited us at Lucland airport, ready to swiftly transport us to the estate. It was the fastest way to reach our destination.

I found solace in the hope that Vino, Theodore, Dominic, and Andrew would be fine and join us up north tomorrow, unharmed. They had given their all, making the best of a dire situation. I fervently prayed that we wouldn’t have to go through something like this again.

As the plane touched down, relieved to have neutralised the threat, there was no need for secrecy or immigration procedures. We hurriedly disembarked, assisting Yuri, who was in a wheelchair due to his leg injury. It would take a few days for his crushed bones to heal, not that I cared much about his suffering. He hadn’t been given any pain medication, so I knew he was enduring a great deal. Although, his suffering wasn’t nearly enough.

We boarded the waiting helicopter without delay, ready to face whatever awaited us at the estate. Breaking the silence and snapping everyone out of their deep thoughts, I urged my companions, “No matter what happens at the estate, we must remain composed and sane.”

Leo reassured us, saying, “Don’t worry. Those bastards will meet their match up north. Our women are incredibly resilient. I’m confident they’ll outsmart and overcome their adversaries. Those women cling to life like glue.” His words elicited laughter from all of us because they rang true.

Considering everything they had survived, it was plausible that they would emerge victorious. They relied not only on strength but on wisdom, which is the most vital asset in any battle. Leo’s words filled us with hope and uplifted our spirits. I felt optimistic about what lay ahead.

After a fifteen-minute helicopter ride, we landed on the estate grounds. Stepping off the aircraft, I instinctively tried to link with Tamia, but my abilities vanished. I knew the rash was about to manifest. Glancing at Leo, who was laughing almost maniacally, I could see the relief on his face. He had successfully linked with his mate.

However, if Yuri knew we were coming, he might have deliberately manipulated the date to catch us off guard. Whatever the case, they had been defeated, and we had emerged victorious.
