The Dark Side of Fate

Chapter 290

125 Mother

~Amelia~

Leo wasn't in bed when I woke up. Someone was knocking on the door. I did not know who it was but did not appreciate the disturbance.

I had planned to sleep longer this morning, but it seemed that wouldn't happen. I looked at the clock. It was almost eight in the morning.

"Amelia, Amelia,’ I heard Alexei's voice, and I wondered why he was banging on my door. I really missed our bungalow in Mountain. I couldn’t wait for this thing to be over. There was nothing private about the place. I grumbled and felt a bit irritated.

"I am coming." I managed, and the banging stopped.

I got off the bed and went to the door.

I opened it and walked away from the door to brush my teeth. Whatever Alexei had to tell me could wait. I did not like having morning breath.

"Amelia," He said, and I raised my hands, signalling him to wait while I walked towards the bathroom.

I did not take too long to brush my teeth and rinse my mouth. I exited the bathroom, and he was still standing by the door. I did not spend upto five minutes, so it was fair.

"Good morning, big brother," I said, sounding slightly irritated, and he chuckled.

"Good morning. I apologise for disturbing you, but Leo seemed busy and asked me to handle it." He said, and I frowned at him, wondering what he had to handle.

He sighed and walked towards me. I noticed he was trying to find the right words, and that did not sit well with me. Such behaviour always indicates something serious. What could be serious that Leo could not tell me himself but sent Alexei to convey to me?

"Someone is here to see you," he said, and I frowned at him. I wondered who would come searching for me at the estate early in the morning. I was a guest at the Volkov Estate. Everyone I know who cared about me was in the estate. I wondered who would be there.

"Who?” I asked, and he sighed. There was difficulty and contemplation in his eyes. I could see that Alexei did not appreciate Leo putting him up to whatever he had to say.

"Your mother,’ he said, and I stepped backwards. I was in shock, and Alexei rushed towards me. He helped me sit on the couch while I tried to steady my breath.

"Take it easy, Amelia. It is expected she will search for you after the broadcast yesterday. She has been in hiding because of Yuri." He said, and he really sucked at giving shocking news.

"She is freshening up as we speak. She came here disguised as a madwoman. Please take it easy,’ He told me, and I just looked at him. Why would she come disguised as a madwoman? But then he did say she was hiding.

"Let me freshen up," I said, and he nodded.
