Fate's Dark Side Chapter 157

I hugged her and assured her everything would be alright before leaving her room and heading towards mine. I bumped into Lilly on my way, and she looked at my foot.

One thing I noticed was she was lurking around our corridors too much. I know Sylvester was easy on her, but this wasn't her wing.

"Good Evening, Luna," She said to me, already according me the respect of Luna.

"Hello, Lilly," I said, and she looked at my barefoot.

"Is that because you are pregnant?" She asked me with a tinge of jealousy, and I smiled.

"No, dear, it is so I can sneak around the place unnoticed," I said and walked away from her.

I felt her eyes on me, and I turned to wink at her.

I wanted her relaxed and a little bit on edge simultaneously. She was bound to make mistakes faster when on edge than when relaxed.

I entered the room and went to bed. Sylvester wrapped his arm around me and kissed my neck.

"The bed was cold," he said, and I turned to look at him.

"Since when did a cold bed start troubling you?" I asked, wanting to laugh.

"When you started sleeping in it, Tamia," He said in his low deep voice, and it made me shiver in a good way. Sylvester knew how to turn me on, and this was one of those.

He came on top, and I knew the night would be longer than expected.

We had breakfast in the morning with our friends, and Sylvester brought up the investigation.

"I will want us to go through the things in late Jenny's house,"

Sylvester said, and Marcel looked at him.

"Have you told the Lawrences about it? Especially Vino. She might be occupying a Babanin seat, but she is still his aunt." Marcel said, and I was a bit surprised that Jenny was Vino's aunt, but the name was a dead giveaway. She was Jenny Lawrence; I just thought she was a different Lawrence. In light of this, things were a bit confusing in my head.

"I do not need permission, especially when I am trying to figure out why she was killed," Sylvester said, and Marcel nodded.

"Sign me up," Linda said immediately, and Theodore looked a bit pissed at her.

I understood why she committed herself quickly because she knew he would try to stop her because of the pregnancy.

"Are you sure it is the best way to go?" Marcel asked Sylvester, and he nodded.

"I knew my mother wasn't the target of that attack. Jenny might have been involved in something or known something to be eliminated." Sylvester said, and Marcel sighed.

"What about the wire transfers that Lily was working on? Does it show any funds leading to or from Jenny? We have to check everything knowing that your father almost wiped them out." Marcel asked.

"They should lead somewhere," Marcel added, and I remembered her phone call and contemplated bringing it up.

"All those anonymous transfers lead to the south, and now some are going east. I have asked Lily to take a break. I cannot leave her with a computer unattended, and I want to spend time with Tamia. So I will find another way to trace the transfers," Sylvester said and touched my hand. He kissed it, making my body shake.

"I am worried that some people are stationing people in the east and west. With what has happened recently, I hope an attack that would be blamed on the north will not ensue. We are yet to understand why the transfers and the people they are going to are anonymous. I can't shake off the fact that everything is directed at destroying my family. The fact that my father had many enemies does not help matters either. I am thinking of reaching out to the distant Volkovs for help," He confessed, and I touched his hand.

"Very well, what time do we go to Jenny's house, and how many of us are going?" Theodore asked. Sylvester smiled and kissed my hand again.

"See it more like a date because we are bringing our mates with us," he said, and Marcel shook his head.

"Avery and I have a doctor's appointment this morning," He said, and Sylvester shrugged.

"Go and return. Pending on what the doctor says will determine whether or not Avery will be coming," He said, and Marcel nodded and thanked him.
