The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Sa'ad Usman novel Chapter 295

~Sylvester~

While I moved towards Erik's lab, I linked Vino and Andrew at the same time.

"Have Ighor call Yuri in an hour and make sure he feeds him the information we give him. We want Yuri to believe everything will go as planned, and I want to know their plans. Do not make him say things that would seem pushy. Yuri is too smart for that. Let him be layback and normal. Offer the bastard freedom in exchange for his compliance," I linked both of them.

"Are you serious, Sylvester? We can't let that bastard loose after this. We can't deal with his shit," Vino complained.

"I am with Vino on this one. That man does not deserve to live. He is a liar and deceiver. He really had no reason to do what he did. He would have killed Devin, Leo and Vino. Let's not even mention the poor Kappa he took from this world. He does not deserve the gift of life," Andrew complained.

"I said to make him the offer. I never said I planned to honour my deal. He and Yuri have no honour, so they commit atrocities in the shadows.

That is why they chose to use people and kill them.

That is why they do not care about the consequences of their actions.

I plan to pay him back with the same coin.

Make him the promise and make sure he complies. Once he is no longer useful, he will be executed. No questions asked," I said.

"That is much better. I plan to kill; him myself," Vino said, and I knew the event of the shooting was still playing on his mind. If it weren't for the powers that be, Vino wouldn't be here either. I could understand his rage, and I planned to give him all the freedom to visit his vengeance on Ighor once all this was over.

We walked quickly. Erik's lab was outside the building. There was no way I would allow him to carry out chemical experiments inside the mansion. I could not tell the hazardous level of his activities; it was best done outside.

While we headed out, I remembered my promise to Tamia about the bungalow and planned to get on it. Once my work for the day was done. There was no harm in having people fix the place while we solved the matter. I had faith that fate would be on our side this time, and we would overcome Yuri and his cult.

We arrived at the lab, and everyone was there except for Vino and Andrew, who must have gone to deal with Ighor.

They were all worried for Jake. Even our wives.

Katya, that was supposed to be with my mother, was standing beside Dominic, watching Jake on the bed. Avery did the same next to Marcel. Tamia and Nicole stood by Jake's bedside while Claudia attended to the IV Line connected to Jake. Susan sat on the couch, looking at the floor. Devin went to her. She must be tired.

Leo was standing with his back against the wall in deep thought.

Kyle stood next to him, with the dried blood stains of the battle on his body. Amelia was beside Leo.

Linda and Theodore stood while Clay and Alexei watched Jake, seeming lost because they had no relationship with the man.

Nelson and the two attendants were working on some chemicals and ignored us completely.

I wondered who was watching my mother.

"Who is with my mother?" I linked Tamia, and she looked at me.

It was as if she were in deep thought and did not notice my presence.

I could not blame her either. Jake didn't look well.

His lips were pale, and his skin was grey. He looked like a corpse, even though he was breathing.

My mother dared not see this. She would die immediately. She would go ahead of him. We have to keep her away as long as possible.

"Ladies, let us leave. We have work to do," Tamia said, and I was grateful that she was taking charge.

She walked towards me, and I noticed she had been crying. Her tears were still falling.

"Please make sure they help him. No one deserves this. He did nothing. His only crime was loving your mother. Please, Darling," She said, and I pulled her into my arms.

Words could not soothe the pain both of us were feeling.

Her words cut deep because she was right. Jake's only crime was because he loved my mother.

I held her and looked at the man on the bed. Rage and determination rose in me, knowing Yuri planned to do this to everyone around me. Everyone I love and care about. I dared not leave him room to do it.

"I won't let him win," I told my wife. And she held on to me tightly.

"Please don't let him," She said.

I held her for a few seconds before she broke the hug.

She wiped away her tears and looked at the others.

"We will remain on course. We won't allow this to destabilise us. Katya and Avery, you two will stay with Stephanie. Do not bring her here or tell her of his condition.

Linda, Susan and Nicole, we have darts to produce. We need lots of it, and nine days is a short period to be laid back," She said, and they all moved like machines.

They were sad but had to do the needful.

They were strong, setting aside their emotions and fear and carrying on. Like our mates, we had to carry on too and not allow this to disrupt us. Seeing Jake, I doubted he would make it, but I planned to hold on until the very end.

Once they left, I looked around.
