The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Sa'ad Usman novel Chapter 159

~Sylvester~

Lucas sighed as if he was reliving the events that had transpired. I also noticed he was blinking back tears. He was broken, and I doubted anything could fix him.

"I was taken to a place far from where they caught me. It was a cult of some sort, but they never allowed me to see their faces, and I never tried to. I had just murdered my friends and was trying to escape. No one would come to my aid.

According to my plan with the young Alpha of the south, I would be presented as dead. People do not search for dead people. Although they were unknown, they seemed to have a powerful presence.

I remembered the few time Maurice had suspected something of that sort happening. He suspected there was a cult somewhere, but we dismissed it because we could not find evidence that would lead us to them.

I kept my eyes shut throughout the session. Soon they put me in a car and sent me off somewhere. That was when I was given to Larry. It was confusing, and I did not know what had happened or why.

The man spent months torturing me without telling me why he was doing it.

He moved me from place to place at different times, but I had been in the store you found me the longest," he said, and I frowned at what the man had just told us.

I wanted to believe that the sect he was talking about was Larry and his friends. So I did not probe any further. It was baffling, but I did not want to overthink it.

"Larry said the three of you drugged his fiancée and messed her up. She lost their baby and killed herself," Marcel said with rage.

"How can you stoop so low, father!" he asked.

"You had a harem. What else did you want? What else did you want?" Marcel asked, and I could understand his rage.

All this would have been avoided if they had kept their dicks in their pants. They were reckless and felt invincible.

Lucas looked at Marcel, shocked.

"What fiancee?" he asked, and Marcel began to laugh.

"You have ruined so many lives that you have lost count. Fucked too many women to remember any of them," Marcel said, and Lucas shook his head.

"I only stayed within my harem, Marcel and the occasional times that Maurice asked us to join in when he was with Jenny.

Jenny was consensual. She wanted all of us. We never took advantage of anyone. It was always consensual," Lucas said, and I sort of believed the man.

Larry never really confronted them about what they did to his fiancée. Could it be that Larry was lying? But looking at Lucas, Larry was too determined to make him suffer for it to be a lie. The man tortured Lucas and made sure he felt pain. It was a personal quest. It had to be true, but they might have had different versions.

"Does the name Emily ring a bell?" I asked him gently, and he looked at me, confused.

"Larry had a fiancée, Emily, that died many years ago," I said, and he went to sit on his couch, still thinking. He was still weak, so he was bound to want to sit down.

Slowly I saw realisation dawn in his eyes.

"Emily Pachensky. The northern woman Larry met in Gad," he said, and I paid attention.

He looked at me, and I could see a bit of rage in his eyes.

"Emily Pachensky was a northerner born and bred in the west. Larry met her during his leave and fell in love with her. They were to get married. He brought her to the Volkov estate to see us," he said, which confirmed what Larry had told us. Marcel wanted to speak, but I stopped him because his father was deep in thought.

"That woman was a piece of work. When Larry travelled on a mission, she came to visit Maurice. We all know Maurice is the most powerful of us three, so, normally, he gets the women first.

That woman was something else. Maurice did not want her. He was hoping to court Stephanie then. She was a very jealous woman who easily got angry, so he did not want to lose his opportunity with Stephanie.

He might have been a scumbag to many, but he loved and respected Stephanie until that bitch, Alissa, came along. We were all glad about her demise because she was driving him mad," he said, derailing and then sighed.

"Emily was a cute blonde, and she was from a decent family that lived in the west. I was there when she came and tried to seduce Maurice. He was still single then, so he was fair game. Why go for a council member when you can be a lady of the north?" he said and then looked at the three of us.
