The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Sa'ad Usman novel Chapter 236

~Devin~

Susan fell asleep a few hours after she woke up. The doctor that checked up on her said she would be safe to transport to the Mountain the next day. She had recovered faster than anticipated, and I was thankful for it.

It was good news because I had so much to do.

Arresting Alice and finding out all she knew was part of it.

I planned to take Susan back to Mountain, then travel to Greenville with Max and arrest Alice.

If I returned to Greenville with Susan, Alice would know her game was up, and she would flee. I could not have that.

I planned on setting a trap for her to fall in so it wouldn't be her words against Susan's. I also did not trust her relationship with Lukman and planned to expose her.

I sat on the couch Alia sent to Susan's hospital room and watched Susan sleep. She looked peaceful, and I prayed our lives would be that peaceful.

I hated that her first reaction to the conflict was to run, but she ended up uncovering something crucial. I was grateful to the goddess for her, and I hoped that once everything was over, we would have a blissful life together.

Someone knocked on the door, and I didn't bother looking towards it because I knew it was Alexei. I could smell him.

I fought the urge to roll my eyes and just nodded for him to enter.

He walked in quietly and came to sit beside me.

I shifted a bit because I was in the middle of the three-sitter couch.

"Heard you two are leaving tomorrow," he said, and I nodded.

"That is great news. Honestly, I was worried when I heard what had happened. Glad you found her on time," he said, and I sighed because he was right.

I knew he wanted to tell me something but did not know if this was the right time. I looked at him and raised my eyebrow, but his head was bowed, so he did not see my facial expression. I wasn't the patient type, but people always failed to understand that part of me.

"What is it?" I asked, sounding a bit short. He rubbed his head a bit and tousled his hair.

"The King and the Lords arrived, and they were attacked by Yuri or Erik's men; we do not know yet, but I suspect Leo might have an informant in Mountain.

I do not know if you can help me communicate with Leo to be extra careful," Alexei said, sounding worried, and I frowned.

"Who told you this?" I asked him.

"Clay. He said Leo, Andrew and him had to defend because they did not want the royals to come out of the van just in case it were speculations. They were unsure if they knew the King and Lords were coming or if it was just speculation. He said it worked because once Leo exited the van, they stopped trying to move past them to attack the van.

The good news is that they were able to kill them all. I have been trying to reach Leo, but he seems occupied.

Please try and discuss this with him extensively tomorrow so they can figure it out. Having all the Volkovs in Mountain is risky, and he has to put in a lot of effort to ensure they do not get killed there." He said and sighed.

I kept my eyes on Susan while he spoke.

I did not need to guess where the leak originated; I already knew it. It made me even feel more ashamed of myself.
