Fate's Dark Side Chapter 429

"But he got the letter," she said, and I nodded.

"Yes, he did, Tamia, but that is the point. If he admits to doing it, it can be argued that it influenced his decision to go to the Inn the night he went there. Devin not getting the letter is the best bet. That would distance my mother from the massacre that occurred that night. She would still be found guilty of attempting to create a situation that would have killed my father, but the punishment for that is less. I am to lock her up for a year, but she can spend that year under house arrest in the mansion with her lover since he has decided to hand the pack over to his son," I said, and her eyes widened.

"You knew?" she asked, and I figured Tamia knew of the relationship between Jake and my mother.

"Of course, I knew. They reek of each other. I wonder why they think it is still a secret," he said, and she laughed.

"It makes it more fun," she teased, and I understood that part.

"If only she had not admitted to sending that letter to Jenny. The case would have been dismissed. Larry has Jenny's computer and evidence, so he can use the information as he sees fit. We just have to prepare for the worst.

"What about Vino?" she asked me, and I sighed.

My half-brother's case was a more complicated matter. Now that I knew he was a Volkov, he could no longer occupy the Lawrence seat on the council, and he had committed treason.

"He has to be dismissed from the service for now as punishment. Time would have to pass for the matter to die down, and then I could find something for him. We would claim coercion which is mostly the truth, but that is all. He wants to remain here and raise his triplets; I think that way is best.

"What about his home in Lucland?" Tamia asked, and I shook my head.

"It belonged to his uncle. If he is a Volkov, he can no longer keep any of those things except his mother's house." I explained to my wife, and she sighed. "I guess everything has a consequence then," she said, and I nodded.

"He seems elated about it. I guess all he ever wanted was to belong somewhere. He wanted to be recognised. What my father did was cruel and unforgivable. He actually threw Vino away. That was what he was discussing with Nikolas.

It was Nikolas Sullivan he made to do the dirty job. Still, Nickolas could not discard the infant, so he took it to Luis, and Luis decided to raise the boy as his own. All he did was send his mate, who was heavily pregnant back then, to Cains island. She was to return and claim she had twins, but unfortunately, her baby died. She returned two years later with Vino. Vino's real age is twenty-six and not Twenty-five as registered.

My father was scolding Nikolas for his actions when he thought Susan had heard the conversation and decided he would eliminate her to keep his secret. That was why Nikolas begged to hide her and promised not a soul would hear." I said and felt a bit of anger toward my father. He did get what he deserved. The guy was a douchebag.

"So he knew Vino was his all this while and allowed another man to raise his son?" She asked me, and I nodded.

"My father would do anything to keep his pride. Sleeping with another man's wife is punishable by law, especially for people like my father and Jenny. They were supposed to know better. Vino was conceived while Jenny's husband was still alive. I suspect my father killed him and sent Jenny away so no one would know what he had done," I told her, and she was surprised.

"How do you know all this?" She asked me.

"Vino told me, and Leo confirmed it because he questioned Nikolas yesterday before he left for Mountain," I told her, and she was silent. The situation was twisted. I wouldn't be surprised if other things spring up, but I was content with all the current information.
