The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 115

"Sometimes life can be easy, and the truth might really be what it is. Just look at how easily we found love again," she said, and I nodded.

"I am not disputing the fact that he might have a hand in this. Possibly, he did it, but he was too stupid to cover his tracks. It is a possibility, but between Brighton's attack and this, it does not seem like the same person." I said, and Avery nodded.

" I agree, but it still does not mean Dominic is innocent. He might have miscalculated or tried to copy the original crime hoping it would go a certain way," she said, and it made a lot of sense.

"Dominic was desperate to take over from his brother. The issue with Brighton must have given him the idea to try to replicate the same scenario with an alpha alleged to have teamed up with the enemy of the north. Either way, it would be a winning situation; it would have caused a war or forced Sylvester to step down." I said, and Linda frowned.

"But if Sylvester steps down, it would leave the Volkov's line and go to the Sidorovs, then the Orlovs. If neither Marcel nor Theodore cuts it, the north will have to choose between Dominic and Vino to lead them. Neither of them is an alpha, but they would likely lean towards Dominic." Linda said, and I nodded.

"You can put it that way, but we also have to consider Dominic's friendship with Larry. Larry is the eldest on the council. He hates Sylvester and believes Dominic should take over from him. The man must have assured Dominic that he would force the council to endorse him. In exchange, Dominic will be his puppet and wage war, increase the power of the seat and the council and enrich the north," I said, and they were silent.

"So, how is Sylvester handling it?" Avery asked, and I could not answer that question because I did not know.

"I think we should investigate this thing like we used to do back in the east," Linda said.

"I do not think Theodore would want you to get involved," I said, and she rolled her eyes. She wanted to do this for the thrill.

" Let us bring it up during dinner," I said to them, and Avery agreed.

I decided to tell them what I really wanted.

"I know this might sound crazy." I began, and everyone was attentive.

"It might even be unnecessary. There might be nothing to it," I said and sighed.

"But we need to investigate Stephanie," I said, and Avery frowned.

"Why? The woman is clearly unstable and a psycho, but that would be a waste of time because she would not want to work against her sons. There is no way she would set either of them up. She is also a victim in this," Avery said, and I nodded at my friend.

"I am not asking that we investigate her because of the event. She has no hand in this and can never actively work against her son. But I need to know what she has in store for Sylvester. She is always quick to side with Dominic against him, and there is that issue of Sylvester not wanting to get the revenge she wanted so badly. I need to protect my man from a woman that is hurting and trying to lash out." I said and sighed.

''He told her to get out," I confessed, and Linda gasped.

"And he sided with me against her. You needed to see the rage and scorn on her face when she realised he wouldn't back her up. She said many implicating things that she only got away with because Sylvester is her son. There is no way Stephanie is going to let what happened today go. No matter what happens, I need to be a step ahead of her, and I need help," I said, and Linda smiled.

Just then, I felt nauseous and rushed to the bathroom to vomit.
