The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Sa'ad Usman novel Chapter 233

~Amelia~

I allocated rooms to everyone, and they said they liked it, but they were too worried to fool me.

Linda was the last person I allocated a room to, and it was on purpose. I planned to question her about what was going on.

I opened the door to the room closest to the one that Leo and I shared, and she entered.

"It is lovely, Ame…" she started, and I cut her short and entered the room.

"What is going on, Linda? None of you has acted well since you arrived. Where are the children, and why did you all come here like this?" I asked her, and she sighed.

"We came with our husbands, but Leo shared us into two vans," she said, and I frowned at her.

"So where are they now?" I asked, and she began to weep.

"Those things, Amelia. They attacked we were able to escape, but the other Van remained.

Everyone was in it.

Our husbands, Leo and your brothers.

They were in that Van.

We have yet to hear from them.

The last the Kappa driving us told us was that Leo and your brothers were fighting those things," she said, and I froze.

I felt like punching something.

I was mad at Leo for going out without me. What if Andrew cannot be trusted? I was mad. I was enraged.

"Do you have a phone on you?" I asked her, and she shook her head.

"We did not want to be traced, so none of us brought our phones with us." She said, and I linked a Kappa to bring me a phone.

A phone was brought to me in less than five minutes. Knowing Leo's number by heart, I dialled it.

The moment I heard his voice, tears of relief streamed down my face.

"Where are you?" I asked him.

" We are on our way back," he said while I held my emotions. I would scold him for this, but it would be in person and in private.

"The King and lords?" I asked him, and he sighed. He knew that I knew what had happened.

"They are fine, Amelia, not a scratch. Andrew and Clay took care of it," he said, and I growled.

"You mean Andrew, Clay, and you took care of it," I corrected him, and he was silent.

"Glad to know all of you are alright," I said, and Linda rushed to take the phone from me.

"Leo, Leo, please let me speak to Theo," she said with shaking hands.

I could tell how she was feeling.

She spoke to her husband, and she was smiling and laughing in no time. We hung up, and I returned the Kappa's phone to him.

"I have linked the others to inform them," Linda told me, and I nodded. I was glad to see the light return to her eyes.

"So, where are the children?" I asked, and she smiled at me.

"Amelia, you won't drop it, would you?" she asked, and I shook my head.

"Leo said they were out to get us, so Sylvester sent the children underground with our trusted workers and relatives to care for them. They will remain in that location until all this is over. No matter what happens to us, our children have to survive. The farther we are from them, the easier we can guarantee their safety.

"Who are these trusted relatives, if I may ask?" I asked.

"Theo's brother, Marcel's sister and mother. With Bryce Golubev, the head enforcer and Kappa Levi. They are the only ones we could trust with our children's lives," She said, and I knew it was brilliant.

Moving to keep the children underground was an excellent idea. I did not want Erik sending his men into the palace and killing the future of the North. It was indeed a smart move, and I had to commend them for it.

Well, I will leave you to freshen up while we prepare for the feast Leo has organized without my knowledge," I said and winked at her.

She laughed and pushed back my hair to reveal Leo's mark on my neck.

She had tears of joy in her eyes, and I felt a bit shy.

"We saw Leo's mark, but we didn't say anything. I am happy for you, Amelia. He finally made the jump, but how come you did it without the Bluemoon? It is a mystery. We were talking about it, but the whole ordeal about the attack made us drop the topic," She said, and I smiled, knowing she did not know we were fated.

" Leo and I are fated, but we plan to wed on the blue moon night," I said, and she gasped.

"That lucky man!" she said.

"Twice in a row! The Moon goddess must love him," she said, stressing the word 'Love'.

I giggled.

I knew about Amanda, but we never talked about her. She was bad news.

"I am happy for you two. I can't wait to hear all the juicy details. You two were acting weird. I must admit. It was glaring, but we did not suspect it because of what happened with you-know-who," She said, and I giggled.
