The Dark Side of Fate

Avery and Linda arrived in my room a few minutes after they had linked me.

They sat on the couch while I dressed up in Sylvester’s clothes.

What happened with his mother baffled me, and I was nervous about what to expect from the woman.

The switch was disturbing, and somehow

I knew it would not be easy onwards.

I did not need to guess whose side Sylvester was on. Stephanie had picked a dangerous game because I was bound to

win.

I joined Avery and Linda on the couch, then linked the staff to serve us tea and

“What is with Stephanie?” Avery asked me, looking curious.

“She was drinking in the lounge of this wing, and we went to say hello. She was very nasty to us. Calling us whores, backstabbers, thieves, name it, Tamia. She looked like she was out of it,” Avery said, and I sighed sadly.

“She is unhappy about what happened with Dominic and believes I was the

mastermind behind his arrest. I am

officially her enemy now,” I said, and

Linda hissed.

“That is pathetic and silly. What do you have to gain from that? You already have

it all. You will be the lady of the north in

two months. Sylvester is indisputably yours. She is silly,” Linda said, sounding

irritated.

“Actually, I did ask her to make sure that Dominic does not show up at the hearing, and I did imply that I will go against him if he troubles Sylvester,” I confessed, and

Linda rolled her eyes.

“So what? The arsehole deserves it and much more. Sometimes I suspect she didn’t give birth to Sylvester because of the way she is quick to side with Dominic against him, even if Dominic is in the wrong, and that douchebag is always in

Linda made a lot of sense, but I knew Stephanie was Sylvester’s mother.

“She disagrees with Sylvester’s policies. She wanted him to get justice for her

husband. She wanted him to expand..” I

said, and Avery began to laugh,

interrupting me in the process.

“Really, who will get justice for all the people her husband wronged? Her

homes. Bane is a hero. I do not care what people say,” Avery said, and
