Fate's Dark Side Chapter 433

One thing led to the other, and we all woke up under the sheets with her. She tried to linger the next morning, but Stephanie was going to visit Maurice that day, so he kicked her out.

We all felt like shit because she was Larry's woman, but that had happened, and we could do nothing about it. That was why we started restricting who could attend our parties, so we do not end up in bed with the wrong woman again," he said, and I laughed. All this was a huge misunderstanding.

"She lost her baby?" Marcel said, and Lucas was surprised.

"Northern Cocktail can cause that. It is harsh. She had no business drinking knowing she was pregnant." Lucas said, sounding a bit angry.

If the woman believed it was ordinary alcohol, she might have thought they drugged the liquor, but that was the effect of the northern cocktail. I did not like the fact that she hid that she invited herself. Instead, she told Larry my father had invited her and taken advantage of her. I guess she and Larry fitted themselves. It was stupid.

"Was that why Larry joined a cult to get us?" Lucas said, and I nodded.

"He added stuff to your drinks and somehow found a way to send the information that would piss you off. I guess he had people at the Inn. He had a huge operation. He was the one that planned the first uprising, and he did another," I said, and Lucas was enraged.

"Larry does not have money. Where did he get the resources to pull off something like that?" He asked, and I shrugged.

"He was pretty determined. He claimed Emily left him a note instructing him to deal with the three of you," Marcel said, sounding a bit calmer.

"That bitch!" Lucas said.

"She wasn't so pleased that Maurice kicked her out. She sent him letters and tried to see him several times. She seemed crazy, but we ignored the signs and just banned her from entering the estate.

I did not know what she was thinking. She must have thought screwing the Lord would automatically get them close," Lucas said, and I could see he was angry.

"So all this happened because of that night? A night I could barely remember?" He said in disbelief, and I nodded, but he shook his head.

"That is what Larry says, but I doubt it. Too much effort, too many resources, too much planning. It can't all be because of that?" Lucas said, and Theodore laughed.

"Uncle Lucas, people would do anything for love. You needed to hear this man when he tried to kill us with his silver dust. He was demented. He looked like he was achieving his life purpose. He even tried to install himself as king. They referred to him as king. We all know we can expect anything from a mad aggrieved man," Theodore said, and with that, Lucas shrugged, accepting what Theodore had said.

"So what will happen to me?" he asked, and I sighed.

The man had already suffered a lot, and the truth was, they would have ruined everything at the rate our fathers were going. My mother wanted my father to die, and even I did not deem it necessary to seek revenge for his death.

"Well, a case that might come up about my mother helping Devin to locate and kill the three of you. If you can testify to that not being true, it will be nice," I said, and Theodore frowned at me.

"What about Devin's reputation? It will be wrong to strip him of his Bane title," Theodore said, feeling endeared to Devin.

"Devn has agreed to tell the truth. So it won't hurt him. Besides, he has a new reputation now. One he earned." I said, referring to our epic battle at the hospital in Lucaland. People were yet to stop talking about it. Theo was silent.

"So what will happen to my father?" Marcel asked, sounding worried and concerned.

"He has suffered for years, and Larry has owned up to causing the event. Larry also kidnapped and held him, so it all comes down to Larry. Uncle Lucas will be free." I said, knowing I might need his wisdom for the days ahead.

The man was a walking library and wasn't entirely at fault. It would be a waste to find him guilty of the crime. I could not also condemn Lucas in the process of trying to free my mother.

Marcel might pretend not to have an issue with it, but he would. If my mother did not own up to sending the letter, then none of this would be necessary.

"King?" Lucas said, and I nodded.

"I guess Theodore, and I will excuse you two," I said, looking at Marcel.

"You have a lot of catching up to do. Larry's sentencing will be tomorrow. Right now, I am going back to my wife," I announced and walked away before Marcel could protest.
