Game of Destiny – A Thrilling Tale of Power, Love & Fate

Chapter 114-1

We spent the rest of the morning changing the plan for how we would get to and from the meeting. There was a short break as Matilda insisted I needed a snack. After we were done and had lunch, Finlay and I settled down in our office. We were going to call my brother. Just because I insisted on going to the meeting didn’t mean I didn’t see the risks. It definitely didn’t mean I wouldn’t do anything I could to mitigate those risks. The new travel plan was one way of doing it. My brother was another, he would probably be the biggest mitigation of them all. We called him and he answered and I saw his smile.

“Little sister, Finlay. It’s nice to hear from you. I hope nothing has happened that has you calling unexpectedly this close to the meeting. We hadn’t planned this call, right? It has been a lot to do these past weeks, but I think I wouldn’t forget a call with the two of you,” he said. I smiled at him.

“You are right. It’s an unplanned meeting, but nothing bad has happened,” I reassured him.

“But we do have something we want to talk to you about,” Finlay added.

“Right, and what is that?” Elder asked.

“Before we come to that, I need you to swear on your life that what we tell you in this

call, you won’t repeat to mom and dad,” I demanded.

“Um, why?”

“You will understand when I tell you. But you must swear first. Not even under the threat of mom never cooking her special chili ever again,” I insisted. His eyes grew bigger.

“That is a tall order, sis.”
