The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Sa'ad Usman novel Chapter 112

~Tamia~

Amy seemed angry and broken, but I could not feel sorry for her. She was careless and selfish. Gambling with her son's life was just stupid. I could not sympathise with her, but I linked Wilson to bring Liam to us just so she would know I wasn't lying about her son.

Avery did not like Amy, and neither did Linda. I could see it in their eyes. Their anger was the same as mine. I was highly disappointed.

"I want to know, Amy, why you will use your son in the most despicable manner?" Linda asked her voicing out her contempt towards the stupid luna.

"I understand you being adventurous or trying to be a vigilante, but involving your son and endangering his life is careless and extreme. You are not fit to be a mother. People like you are a disgrace to motherhood." Linda said, and Amy could not speak. She was silent.

I did not feel sorry for her. Her husband had washed his hands off her and told us to do as we pleased.

Even if she managed to get out of the mess, she would have no home to go to. She deserved worse than abandonment.

Wilson walked Liam in, and he looked well-kept in new clothes.

Since the people threatening him had been caught, he had been set free. It was only a few hours of freedom, but it showed.

To think I have been busy all day was killing. Sylvester and I had decided to go ruthless this morning, and I was still at it. I was tired, but I needed to finish Amy's session and get something tangible.

The boy looked at me, bowed to pay his respect, and then looked at his mother. There was a sudden rage in his eyes that I knew only the betrayal by a loved one could bring.

"Why am I here?" He asked, not wanting to be in the room.

"She wanted to see you," I told him calmly, and he shook his head. His eyes were misty.

"I do not want to see her," He said, voicing his anger, and Amy sobbed.

"Liam.." She cried, and he growled at her. He was an Alpha, after all, so it was expected.

"I hate you!" he yelled at his mother with his command, and I must say, I felt it too. The boy might seem timid, but he was strong. His father must be a strong Alpha too.

His command made Linda uncomfortable, and Wilson touched his shoulder to calm down because his mood upset everyone, including me. I tried to be assertive about it and mask the discomfort, but I felt it too.

"You got me involved with those people. You encouraged it. I hate you. They tried to kill me. They set me up and put a target on my back. Moses put a target on my back, and Elaine ran away. If I hadn't been arrested, I would have been dead by now!" he yelled at her, and I could see and feel his pain.

Amy was weeping, seriously realising now that I did not lie to her and everything I told her was true.

"I did not know they would do that. They promised me you won't be active," she said in tears, looking at her son, and he shook his head.

"Why get me involved in the first place. I started talking to that bitch when I was fourteen, mother. Who exposes their child like that. You helped them manipulate me. I thought going to the west was my idea, but it was yours. You exploited my weakness. You knew I wanted friends and used my longing to get me into your gang. I hope they find you guilty and you rot," he told her and wiped away his tears.

"Father will lose his position because of you, and we will be in exile. Even if they kill you, we will be exiled. You ruined us," He told her, spelling the truth to her. Sylvester must have told the boy what to expect.

Amy could not say anything.

"I will make it right, I promise," The woman said, trying to redeem herself in her son's eyes, but that ship had sailed.

"You can't do shit," he replied to her and looked at me.

"I want to leave Luna," he told me, and I nodded, letting him go.

His pain had gotten to me, but I had to keep it together.

This wasn't the time to allow my tears to fall freely. I still had people to question once we were done with Amy.

I looked at her, and she was still weeping. Longing, looking at the door her son had walked through, he left her alone, and she deserved it.

"Your love must be sick and twisted for you to do that to your son," I told her. If they had killed him, it would have been worse.

I pulled a chair and sat in front of her. Her eyes were tearing and out of focus. I snapped my fingers to make her focus. She must have escaped into her mind after seeing her son and knowing what he thought of her. I could not feel sorry for her, really. She blinked, and her tears fell. Then she looked at me and bowed to show submission.

"I want you to tell me all you know, and I want the truth. If your story does not check out, I will execute you," I told her, reminding her of the cost of her keeping her life. She nodded and looked at me.

"I will tell it all." She said with determination and pain in her eyes.

I put on my phone recorder to record her words. I hoped to get something good that would lead somewhere. She was the head Luna of the north, so it had to count for something.

"I was recruited five years ago. I am part of the northern elite core. My husband doesn't know, but my duty is to keep an eye on the activities in the north and get close to the influencers.

The idea was to cause tiny pockets of trouble, make the people revolt and cause a revolution.

They promised me a sit on the council when the king is installed, and my son will be governor of the north. Everyone that they hope will be governor and council member when the king ascends is in the group.

Ramsey is the one mobilising us, but he isn't the king.

The king is very shifty, and I don't know who it is, but I doubt he is young because they are following the same plan they used during Lord Maurice's time. I might be wrong also, but I am just saying." She said and sighed.

"I need you to be more detailed," I told her calmly, and she nodded.

"Ramsey is our leader. His task is to unite the east and the south so we can get our men into the south through the east and overthrow Devin Corrigan to install our leader there.
