The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Sa'ad Usman novel Chapter 120

~Sylvester~

I returned to the lounge while Tamia helped settle David and his family in. I wonder why Dominic did not show up to meet the guy. I knew my brother was petty like our mother. He knew Alissa, and she was mean to him and our mother. It was normal that he would avoid her son and not want to have anything to do with David, but he needed to overcome his hatred and show some love.

I entered the lounge, and Dominic was there. My guess was right about him not wanting to see David.

"How did it go?" Dominic asked me, and I sat down on the couch.

"You would have known if you were there," I said, and his face dimmed.

"I can't have anything to do with that bastard," Dominic voiced out, and I nodded.

"That bastard is the spitting image of father and seemed pleasant too. He isn't interested in our politics and has a lovely mate and three children, who happen to be triplets, by the way," I explained to Dominic, and I could see the shame in his eyes. My words rendered him speechless. Everyone was quiet too. It was as if I had made the atmosphere seriously awkward.

"We are not obligated or expected to avenge mother, Dominic. Our parents lived their lives and made mistakes; we do not have to continue the pattern among ourselves," I said, and he felt ashamed.

"Where is he?" Dominic finally asked.

"Tamia is settling them in," I told him, and he nodded.

"I will see them later," he said, and I sighed.

Once the atmosphere was calm, Devin was the first to speak.

"My beta would arrest the people in the south today. But he said he would do it quietly, so they do not alert the people here," he explained to me, and I sighed.

"So what will happen after we pick these people up and you become king?" Leo asked a valid question because what we were doing was only going to buy us time, not solve the problem.

"I will give both of you seats on the council, increasing my influence, and we will hunt for someone," I said, and they were attentive.

I did not know if Dominic knew of Jenny's son, but this was the time to lay it on the table.

"Jenny Lawrence had an affair with my father. She also slept with Marcel and Theodore's father," I said, and they were shocked.

"This Jenny woman is all over the place," Devin said, making an obvious observation.

"But that isn't the issue, really," I said and sighed.

"We investigated her home a few months ago and found some pretty disturbing things. The woman had a knack for keeping records. Official and private records, some of which were disturbing." I said, and Theodore interrupted me.

"Maybe her involvement in these things is what got her killed. She might have pissed them off, and they came for her and then tried to make it seem like it was Corrigan. I am glad we did not act on the information we had," he said, and Devin exclaimed.

"What attack?" He asked.

"Jenny was killed in the Volkov home in Lucland when she visited lady Stephanie. There was a fight, and they said the attack was from you. That you ordered them to bring Tamia to you," Marcel said, and Devin was confused. Of course, he would be. He did not orchestrate the attack, and my friends did not know the truth about the attack.

"Why would I attack Lady Volkov and this Jenny woman, let alone kill her?" Devin asked, and we sighed.

"It seemed plausible at that time since that was the day Sylvester was taking Tamia to visit our mother, and you had already attacked the estate to take her," Dominic said, and I could hear the tinge of shame in his voice.

He had humiliated our mates and the girls in the harem because of the event. I am sure he wished he could take it all back now.

"Wow, these people want a war badly," Devin concluded, and I did not want to elaborate because I knew exactly what had happened.

My mother had killed Jenny and tried to make it seem like it was Devin. There was no point explaining or elaborating because that would unearth my mother's secrets, and I could not allow that.

"Anyway, Jenny liked to keep records," I said, going back to the topic of discussion, and they were attentive.

"According to those records, she had a child with my father, or so she said. It could have been anyone's child, but she claimed it was my father's. Her husband was late by then, and she occupied his seat on the council so that it would have been a scandal, and she would have lost the Babanin's seat," I said, and they were in shock.

"What happened to this baby?" Leo asked, and I nodded.

"She claimed my father took the baby from her, and she does not know where the baby is," I said, and Dominic growled.

"Another bastard!" he said, and I nodded.
