The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Sa'ad Usman novel Chapter 122

~Sylvester~

Tamia woke me up from sleep, and I realised it was nighttime. I must have fallen asleep while resting.

"Sleeping," she teased, and I managed to sit in bed.

"Where are you going?" I asked, noticing she was in her casual outfit.

"You do not expect me to go to dinner in my nightwear," she said, and I looked at the clock.

It was seven-thirty. I managed to get off the bed to get ready for dinner.

"Were you with Nicole all the while?" I asked her while I changed my clothes because I had slept in the ones I had on.

"No. I went to see Amanda. Learned a lot of things and then had tea with my friends. Nicole joined us during tea, but they will have dinner in our former dining room. I did not want awkwardness there, and besides, we have an operation to discuss," She pointed out, and I nodded.

"What did you learn from Amanda?" I asked her, and she sighed.

"Well, for starters, I have a flash drive she claims has the names of all Ramsey's associates," she said, and I looked at her, leaving my shirt unbuttoned. She showed me the drive in her hand and giggled.

"How?" I asked her.

"According to her and Annika, she has been lying to her father. She knew he would find out soon, so she took an insurance policy to make sure he left her alone when he found out. She hid it in Leo's bag. I sent Wilson to get the bag, and I asked Leo to hand it over to me. This is it," she said, grinning, and I buttoned up my shirt and went to her.

I took the drive from her while kissing her. There was peace and giddiness in me.

"It is all strange. Why didn't she give it to Leo before he brought her here?" I asked her, and she shrugged.

"I thought as much, too, but right now, we need all the information we can get," Tamia said, and I sighed.

"Can we trust what she has?" I asked Tamia, and she shrugged.

"Trust is a strong word when it comes to Amanda. But we can check it out and see if she is telling the truth. I also released her silver bracelet and had two maids attend to her," she said, and I was a bit uncomfortable.

"Don't you think you jumped the gun there?" I asked, and she shook her head.

"She is still under lock and key. I just wanted her to be comfortable because of her condition. We can't rule out the part where she fed her father information. Whether they were lies or not, the man almost succeeded." She said, and I understood her point.

"Have you checked the files?" I asked her, and she shook her head.

"I was going to leave that bit for you," She said, and I was too eager to check it out.

The drive would need studying. We would have to spend a whole day figuring out the information on the drive.

"We will still carry out our plan, and then we will arrest the remaining people some other time. That is if they do not go into hiding by then," Tamia said, and as hard as it was to admit, she had spoken the truth. There was so little we could do between tonight and the next day.

"How did you get her to give it to you?" I asked her, and her smile faded.
