The Dark Side of Fate

159 Happy Homecoming

~Tamia~

We returned home from the hearing feeling incredibly happy. It was as if a heavy burden had been lifted off our shoulders. We had been so worried that something terrible would happen, but it all stopped suddenly, and we made it through unharmed. I was filled with joy and couldn't wait to see my children again. The time we spent apart felt so long, and I missed them dearly. But now, we could finally relax.

Sylvester held my hand as we drove home, appreciating the beauty of the trees around us. We no longer had to fear for our lives. There was no need to worry about someone attacking us or shooting at us out of nowhere. It was all over.

I looked at Sylvester, who caught my attention by gently touching my hand.

"We did it," I said, and he smiled and softly touched my cheek.

"Yes, we did," he replied. We both realised that we had won, and we allowed ourselves to savour the moment.

We sat quietly in the back of the car, enjoying the view as we drove home. Finally, we arrived, and we all got out of the car and went inside. I had planned a small evening party in the living room as a surprise, so I told everyone to gather there after changing into more comfortable clothes.

"Please join Sylvester and me in the living room once you've changed out of your formal attire," I announced to everyone. Sylvester raised an eyebrow, curious about my plan.

"What's the occasion, my love?’ Sylvester asked as we climbed the stairs.

"Just a little time to relax and connect now that we're all here," I replied.

"I'm sure they'll appreciate the gesture, my dear," he said, gently kissing my hand.

We returned to our room, changed into casual clothes, and headed to the living room.

We were the first ones to arrive.

The staff did a wonderful job. Everything was prepared-the drinks, the snacks, and the entertainment.

Happiness would finally return to the Volkov estate.

Sylvester instructed Bryce and Levi to bring our children, and I was filled with anticipation, longing to see little Liam and Harper again. I missed them so much, but I tried to contain my excitement.

I made sure the staff prepared spring rolls just to tease Amelia and Leo. They used to make spring rolls in their kitchen in the East, It was the default snack Omega Macy served every time, and it brought back memories of being with everyone in their packhouse. It was a fun time, and I hoped we could do it more often. Amelia and Leo were great hosts, and the place was enjoyable, despite Yuri's tricks.

"Spring rolls," Sylvester said, eyeing the tray of delicious snacks, and I laughed. He knew exactly why I included them.

"And sandwiches, too!" he exclaimed wide-eyed, and I laughed.

It reminded me of the bet we won against the men and how we punished ourselves with sandwiches. I had never eaten so many sandwiches in my life. It was a memory to cherish.

"Leo and Amelia will be thrilled," he added, and I nodded, laughing, knowing exactly how uninterested they would be. They were tired of the stuff.
