The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 858

"I don't know what to say, Liam," Harper began, her tone filled with concern.

"Asking to be sent to Grizlo is a lot, considering we were specifically asked to return here for our safety. Don't you think you're taking too great a risk? Mom and Dad will be entangling themselves in a dangerous situation by requesting favours from Alpha Christian. They're doing it out of fear that you might take matters into your own hands and go to Grizlo.

I understand how you feel, but you must realise that you are more important to them than unravelling the truth behind Maguire's mess in this particular situation. You need to take their feelings into consideration. What if this situation proves to be more than we can handle, and we all end up losing our lives? Do you think they will ever forgive themselves or that things will remain the same in the estate?" Harper continued, her words filled with a mix of reason and concern.

"I can understand your love for Sophia, but let's not jeopardise the love and peace within our home for it. There is a possibility that you may meet someone in the future, someone destined for you. What good will it do if we get caught up in this mess and lose our lives? You have to approach this rationally," she urged, her voice filled with a blend of caution and care.

"Allow Mom and Dad to call Alpha Christian. We can handle the situation from here, where we are safe. They are already making significant sacrifices by reaching out for his assistance, as it will be a favour rather than a duty. Liam, you need to take it easy," Harper concluded, her words surprising me. For the first time, it seemed that she didn't fully support me in this endeavour. I couldn't help but wonder what had changed her perspective.

Without responding, I made my way to my room, and Harper followed behind me. She spoke up, apologising for her words, but I wasn't angry with her. She had simply spoken the truth, no matter how painful it might have been.

"What do you suggest I do, Harper?" I asked, frustration evident in my voice as I sat down on my bed. I ran my fingers through my hair, feeling overwhelmed. I looked at my sister, waiting for her response.

"The last time we spoke, Sophia was afraid and saying goodbye. She was in a dangerous situation, trapped in the cargo section of a boat with strangers," I explained, expressing the part that hurt the most. Harper came to sit beside me, offering her support.

"Hopefully, Alpha Christian will be willing to help and take the necessary action. I like her too, and you two would be great together. Having her as part of our family would be wonderful. She's fun to be around and down-to-earth. But I won't let you risk your life for her. You love her, Li, and I respect that, but you're my twin. I can't bear the thought of losing you," Harper confessed, her voice filled with emotion, the last word barely escaping her lips, as if she were holding back tears. At that moment, I held Harper close, offering her reassurance.

"You won't lose me," I promised, providing her with the comfort she needed. Just then, Keith and Joseph entered the room, rushing towards us. I learned that they were going to the academy on Monday. I was grateful that I would be there to see them off. I couldn't help but wish that Mike had never committed that murder, as it would have prevented all of this from happening.
