The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Sa'ad Usman novel Chapter 141

~Sylvester~

Sneaking to Grizlo was challenging. We believed we would stand out, but the airline company that we used made sure we did not come in contact with anyone.

The owner was honoured that I would be using one of his jets.

Seeing Tamia sleep on the couch in the apartment made me doubt that bringing her was right, but I wanted her to be involved. I knew if I asked her to remain at home, she wouldn't like it, and she was the only person that could stop Leo from doing something crazy.

I would have decided not to come with Leo, but I needed support just in case we encountered more than Amanda and her lover. No matter how messed up his emotions were, both he and Devin had proven their loyalty.

The four-wheel drive arrived in the dead of the night, and I was disappointed to see that it was Vino Lawrence. I sort of liked the guy, even though he seemed creepy.

I wondered why he got himself involved in this shit. At twenty-five years old, he was too young for this. It was sad. I could see no resemblance between us, so I doubted he was my father's bastard, but then again, he grew up as Louis Lawrence's son, who happened to be Jenny's older brother; his age also fits the timeline of the birth of Jenny's bastard. Could it be that Vino was that baby? If so, unlike David, only a sibling test would let us know if he genuinely is a Volkov or if his mother lied like she had lied to everyone.

Amanda was waiting for him at the entrance, and they hugged. She tried to kiss him, but he deliberately avoided it. He was either unhappy about something or not in the mood.

For someone that he claimed to love, he was shitty at showing it. But then again, Amanda was used to being treated like shit. I suspected she liked it.

I heard Leo growling behind me. It wasn't Vino that brought out his rage; even though he hated the guy naturally, it was Amanda. Seeing that it was Vino all along, Leo's dislike for the guy was justified. He had used his bond to destroy his life.

"Let's get in there," I said, ready to get Vino and return to Lucland. I tapped Tamia gently to wake her. It took some time, but she finally did. She was a bit disoriented, but she woke up eventually. She was shocked when I told her the culprit was Vino.

I stood to hold her up, but then she shook her head.

"Do not engage; we need to listen to their conversation. Once we catch them, they will be tight-lipped," she said, thinking fast, and she was right. I was too eager to catch the bastard that I was going to barge in there and take them. I could not dismiss the fact that Vino had a sponsor, and that person was the person I needed to catch.

"Wait, let us take pictures and record their conversation," I linked everyone, and Leo grumbled a bit, but he agreed.

I was glad that Hendrix had bugged Amanda's apartment and phone so recording her conversation would be easy.

"Take as many pictures as possible," I told Theodore, and he nodded.

"Why are we not going in there?" Marcel asked.

"We need to hear all they have to say to each other and then decide whether we want to move in on them now or later. We have all the evidence to put them away, but we must know their roles in this. It will help with the questioning," I said, and Theodore and Marcel understood. Leo went to sit where Devin was, and Marcel returned to sit with Avery while Theodore stood beside me to take pictures.

"Levi, Hendrix, go to the building and wait for my signal. You are to enter and chain them with silver once I tell you to," I told my kappa, and they moved.

I wore a headphone, and I was given binoculars.

Vino sat on a chair in the room while Amanda made him a drink.

"Why did you call me, Amy?" he asked, and she handed him the drink. He put it down on a stool and looked at her.

"I am almost due. I can't do this alone," she replied.

"What if you were being followed or watched? Things have gone terribly wrong. This isn't the time to be contacting each other, Amy. You claim the King hasn't contacted you in a while, which shows he has gone underground too. Couldn't you just do this alone and hold on until the dust settles before you call me?" he said, and she sat on a couch.

"Do you know what being pregnant alone feels like? Because of this, I had to endure living in a loveless relationship for months," She complained, and he chuckled.

"You wanted to be in that relationship, and you wanted a baby. I told you to wait and let us see where this takes us, but you wanted it all," he complained, and she sounded like she was crying, but I couldn't see because her back was facing me.

"What did you think, Vin? I never see you. You are always in Lucland living the life while I was stuck in Mountain. It was only a matter of time before you moved on from me. At least this way, we are connected," She said, and he looked at her angrily.

"How can you spew such nonsense. I claimed you, Amy, and you claimed me. How can you even think that I would do that to you? I have never cheated on you. I have had many opportunities, but I never have. I have been loyal and faithful. You were the one sleeping with Leonardo Albert. You had all the fun. So do not spin this on me," he growled at her.
