The Dark Side Of Fate novel Chapter 201

~Sylvester~

I must admit that I was worried when Vino linked to inform me what had happened. Tamia wasn't beside me then, and I didn't want her to know what had happened because I knew she would be worried.

That was why I left without telling her.

When she arrived at the hospital, the look on her face made me know I was in trouble.

I knew she would punish me for not telling her directly.

I wondered which of my brothers told her. It definitely wasn't Dominic, so I suspected David.

I looked at him where he stood, and Knight growled a bit.

Everyone looked at me instantly, and I calmed down and plastered a fake smile.

"I am just mad about what happened," I said, and it was believable because everyone was mad about what had happened.

I returned my gaze to David, and my anger remained.

He would go home, and Nicole will be warm and loving towards him, but Tamia would give me hell for not informing her about the accident myself. I wasn't looking forward to the confrontation that would ensue.

I noticed Vino was acting weird, and I suspected it had something to do with that doctor because she had no reason to go and speak to him when he stepped out.

Amanda was a doctor, so I suspected Claudia went to the same medical school as Amanda. Maybe Vino knew her from there.

I did not want to be nosey, but I knew he would tell me if it was something serious.

It was finally time to return to Lucland.

Vino wanted to stay behind, but I insisted he returns with us and told him he could visit the hospital in daylight.

I wasn't going to take any chances. I did not want to lose anyone.

Vino grumbled a bit but soon agreed.

He seemed desperate to stay, which might have something to do with Claudia, but I did not bother to ask, so he won't give me a valuable reason to stay.

Dominic, our big brother, told him it was a must to return with us.

David agreed.; We all had the same worry.

Amelia was the only one at an advantage, and she belonged to Leo, and Leo did not like Vino.

I doubted the bad blood would go anytime soon.

Leo hated the Lawrences initially, then found out about Amanda and Vino which made him lose it.

It served him right because he wasn't a saint either, but all were bygones now, and we were now family, Leo inclusive, but the man wouldn't let it go. I wasn't comfortable leaving my younger brother at his mercy.

Leo and Amelia remained in the hospital to watch Avery and Marcel recover.

Amelia was our best bet right now because she was immune to silver. If those freaks tried to attack again, she would have an advantage.

Theodore and Linda opted to follow us home. It was amazing to see how Leo recovered quickly from the attack.

Theo was still weak, but Leo was already back to a hundred per cent. It was as if they did not inhale the same amount of silver. I planned to look into it later, but I would have to be satisfied that everyone survived except for the kappa driver and escort, who were mutilated by the bastards.

We arrived at the Mansion, and Tamia and I headed straight to our wing while the others went to theirs. I knew Max would be in knots, so I asked David to tell him what happened and assure him Leo and Amelia were okay. It was the least I could do.

"Sylvester, I am glad you are back. I am coming to see you in your room," I heard my mother in my head, and I grumbled a bit.

I was tired, but I could not tell her no.

It was normal that she would be worried. It was normal that everyone would be concerned.

Taking them away would be the same as ripping my soul out. We have done everything together, and our friendship has been tight. Because of them, I had something Dominic did not have growing up. I had companionship; I learned to play and let go. They are a part of me. If I tell you I did not feel it, I am lying to you, Tamia, because I felt it. I felt every bit of it, and it hurt, Tamia." I confessed, remembering exactly how hard it was for me to compose myself. That was why I sat in the back and let Vino drive.

"We cannot be irrational, my love. It will be stupid of us, and we might end up playing into their hands that way." I said, and Tamia nodded.

"The fear I felt made me force Vino to follow us back; there was no way I would leave Vino in the Lucland where they could get him. Leo hates him, and we both know why. I had to ask him to return even though he wanted to stay in the hospital because I was afraid. Please, Tamia, calm down," I said, and she looked at me with her green eyes and nodded.

I kissed her on her lips to help us calm down and assure her everything would be okay. Then, I tried to break the kiss, but she held on to me, and I continued to kiss her. I travelled from her lips to her neck and kissed my mark gently. I felt her relax. That was all I wanted. I wanted her to be relaxed, and I had achieved that.

I finally broke away and smiled at her.

"My mother is on her way here. Guess she couldn't sleep. We will just speak to her briefly and send her back to her room." I told Tamia, and she smiled to assure me she was okay," I left the closet and heard the knock on the door.

I walked to the door quietly and opened the door for my mother.

My mother stepped in, wearing her night robe and swollen eyes. Evidently, she had been crying, and Jake had been consoling her.

Once Jake handed his pack to his son, he had been a permanent resident at the Volkov estate.

I had opted that they get a house in town, but right now, I knew it would be a bad idea. I did not want anyone getting to my mother and using her against me.

My mother walked in and looked around. Tamia was still in the closet. I knew my mother was searching for her.

"She is fine, Mother. She is dressing up in the closet," I told her, and she sighed with relief.

My mother covered her mouth and sobbed. I pulled her close and hugged her.

"They are all fine, mother. Avery and Marcel are in recovery. Theodore and Linda are back, and Leo and Amelia are in the hospital to keep Avery and Marcel safe. They are fine," I said, and she pulled away from me.

"I was afraid. Dominic told us, and I wanted to follow, but Tamia said no," she said, and I was surprised that Dominic was the one that broke the news and not David. I felt terrible a bit because Knight growled at him.

"It is okay, mother," I told her, and just then, Tamia came out of the closet, and my mother went to hug her. They hugged for a bit before breaking the hug.
