The Dark Side Of Fate 05 Tea Time

~Tamia~

The news of the incident in Grizlo had profoundly unsettled us. My anxiety grew when Stephanie called, informing me that Liam hadn’t returned home. I repeatedly dialled Harper’s number, each time hearing that they were still searching for him, which only heightened my fear.

The situation worsened when I discovered that Liam had visited Mike’s house, and the man had claimed not to have seen him, as relayed by Jake. Even though our world had been relatively peaceful, I knew all too well that trouble could arise at any moment. Nothing felt within our control. So I anxiously waited, contemplating whether or not to inform Sylvester.

My worry escalated upon learning about Mike’s criminal activities. I feared that Liam might have witnessed something and been harmed as a result. It took great courage to keep this information from Sylvester. Finally, hearing his voice brought immense relief. I was grateful that Liam was unharmed and safe from Mike’s grasp.

However, it didn’t take long before I discovered that Sylvester had learned about the incident and was furious with Jake for not informing him earlier. I empathised with Jake and Stephanie for their silence. Though it was risky, since every second counted, I understood their intention to avoid exaggerating the situation.

Sylvester paced anxiously in the living room of our home, which made our youngest children, Joseph and Keith, slightly nervous.

“You can go and play in the backyard, boys,” I assured them, and Keith swiftly gathered his belongings.

“I think I’ll head to the mansion,” Joseph said, and Keith asked if he could join him. They were due to start at Lucland Academy in a week, so it made sense for them to spend more time there with their siblings.

As Joseph and Keith departed, I turned my attention to Sylvester.

“You need to calm down and hold yourself together. It’s not their fault that Liam didn’t come home last night,” I advised, and he gazed at me, seeking answers.

“You knew?” he questioned, and I affirmed with a nod.

“Stephanie called this morning to let me know that Liam hadn’t returned, and they were searching for him,” I explained, and he let out a sigh before finding a seat on one of the couches.

“That boy can be so careless at times. If something happened to him, how would we even trace his whereabouts?” he expressed, a mix of annoyance and worry evident in his voice.

“You need to loosen up a bit, my love. He’s eighteen now, no longer a child, and we can’t control every move he makes,” I reassured him, hoping to ease his concerns. He nodded in response.
