The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Sa'ad Usman novel Chapter 258

~Susan~

When Devin told me my parents were around, I did not know how to feel about it. They had been gone for nineteen years, and a lot had happened between then and now.

I honestly did not know how to feel about it or if I wanted to see them. Knowing they were part of the Stepanov cult made me sick, and the fact that Uncle Nicolas helped Yuri take the South made me feel worse.

How could I have a happy life with Devin when my family is why he lost everything? Even if he doesn't look at me that way, I will look at myself that way. It was sad and humiliating for me.

Devin entered the bedroom and looked at me, a bit worried.

"Sue, won't you see them? Sylvester and Leo need to question them, but they want you to have your moment first," he said, and tears began to stream down my face.

How could he still be so loving and considerate towards me after learning what my family had done to him?

"Devin," I said, breaking down, and he rushed towards me and held me.

"Not even a postcard to tell me they were all right," I said in tears, and he gently stroked my hair and breathed into my ears to calm me down.

"You need to be calm, babe. You should be calm. All that matters is that they are here now. Alive and well," he said, and I broke the hug to look at his face.

"Uncle Nicolas helped Yuri take the South; my folks were part of Yuri's group. Aren't you the least mad?" I asked him, and he smiled at me and caressed my cheek gently.

"I am mad at Nicolas, but not you, my love. I am wary of your folks, but I trust you completely. I do not know them, but I know you. That is all that matters. Now I want you to go out there and be a badass Luna and face them." He said, and how he said it made me chuckle.

"I want you to come with me," I said, and he shook his head.

"Have your moment with your folks, darling." He said, and I shook my head.

"You are my family and my support Devin. When everything crumbled, you were there. You put up with my nonsense and carried me through. When I needed someone the most, you were there. You never judged me, and you were patient with me. If I am seeing them, you have to be there. I won't see them without you," I said, and he sighed.

"As long as you do not drag me into the drama," He said, and we laughed.

I braced myself to confront my parents, and we headed out to see them in the living room, where Leo asked them to wait.

My heart was beating fast as we descended the staircase, and I could not help but stop to take some deep breaths to calm down. I have never dragged my feet in my entire life. I walked slowly, still feeling like I was moving too fast.

Many questions were reeling in my mind.

What if they can't be trusted and came here to hurt everyone I care about? What if they were pretending and do not care about me or anyone? Questions reeled in my mind, and soon we arrived in the living room.

"Are you ready?" Devin linked me, and I nodded. I took a few deep breaths before walking into the living room.

I saw them, and tears welled up in my eyes.

They were older than the photos I had.

My mother's blonde hair had some grey in them, and the brilliant blue of her eyes had faded. She looked tired and slim.

My father did not fare any better. Besides his height and bulkiness, his hair was grey, and his blue eyes faded too.

They looked at me with pain and sadness. My mother began to cry when she saw me, and my father held her. She buried her face in his chest while he looked at me with tears streaming down his cheeks.

I stood still, not knowing what to do.

I wasn't good at things like this, so I did not know how to react.
