The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Sa'ad Usman novel Chapter 150

~Sylvester~

The shock was intense, and I could not believe my eyes. Lucas Sidorov looked at us, frail and speechless; he was short of words and had to be because he had a lot of explaining to do. Snapping out of the shock, I reached for the burning silver and helped the man remove his chains, Marcel joined in, but he was on autopilot. He wasn't thinking, just acting, while he processed what had just happened.

"Let us take him to the van and leave this place. I need to call Dominic," I told him, and he nodded.

"Theodore, I need you to call Kappa Wilson and William. Have them guard Linda and tell them to tell Bryce to check the workers in his ranks. Larry's silence might be a signal for something sinister; it would be wrong to find out," I linked Theodore.

"I have already done that. I wished I had brought her with me." He linked me back, and I could feel his panic, but there was little we could do from afar.

I closed the link and took out my phone to call Dominic. Lucas was hobbling, so Marcel had to support him while he walked.

He was so thin, and I wondered how long he had been locked in there.

I did not want to think of it, but I hoped it wasn't for as long as it seemed. His body also looked like he had endured all forms of torture.

Larry was furious, and his anger had run him mad.

I could imagine Larry coming here often to inflict pain on Lucas in memory of Emily. After all, Lucas was part of the batch that violated her and drove her to end her life. Regardless, I still felt a bit sorry for the man.

He looked utterly broken, and there was no way he could ever be fixed.

I dialled Dominic's number, and he answered on the first ring.

"Hey. Did you miss me so much, little brother?" Dominic asked, sounding jovial, and I heard David laughing in the background. It sounded as if my mother was teasing him about something.

"Listen to me, Dominic," I said with a serious tone.

"Larry McMillian is the king, and we have just captured him," I said, and he exclaimed.

"What! Are you sure?" he asked, and I knew he was in disbelief because they were pretty close. Although Dominic did not like the fact that the man was pitting us against each other, he liked and admired the man. Larry seemed to be the only one who believed in him. Learning that he was behind our predicament would be heartbreaking for Dominic.

"Are you serious, Sylvester?" He asked me.

"Yes. He has confessed to it and told us why, but that isn't why I am calling you," I said and sighed.

"I need you to take everyone with you to safety. Make sure you are hidden until we come and get you in Lucland. He has eyes on you, and they will take you out if they don't hear from him. They won't hear from him because he is now in our custody, so it is only a matter of time before they attack.

If you are in the open, they can get you. Where are you now?" I asked him.

"We are at the hospital with Vino for the sibling test. The whole gang is here," he said, sounding cheerful. He wanted to avoid alerting the people that were with him.

"I need you to take mother, Katya and the triplets to safety. David is a warrior, too, so he can defend himself. Find a place to hide them in the hospital. We will soon be in Lucland. I need you to hold your ground, big brother. Can you do that?" I asked him.

"Yes. I will do my best. David too," he said, and I remembered that our plan did not include Vino.

"Vino too. Protect him. There is a possibility he is our sibling," I told him, and he promised to do his best. I hoped his best would be enough and we would arrive in time. I hung up and moved swiftly so we could get out of the place.

We entered the van, and everyone was silent. I sat beside Tamia, and she leaned on me.

I could see surprise and confusion in most of their eyes. Most of them could not recognise Lucas, but Theodore and Devin did, and I could see the shock registered on their faces at the sight of Lucas.

"We need to hurry," I told the van driver to step on it.

"Kyle and Max have arrived Gad with an army to arrest the people on that list," Leo said, and I frowned at him.

"What are they doing here, and who invited them?" I asked.

"I did," Leo confessed.

"I did not know if there would be a war. So I asked them to come for backup," he said, and I was grateful for his quick thinking. It meant we would have had help if it had led to war. I was glad for the blowgun Tamia brought with her. It had cancelled all prospect of a battle occurring.

My eyes remained fixed on Lucas, who was still in shock and speechless. I believed he would stay that way even after we had arrived at the estate. He had been traumatised and broken.

We rode in silence, and the van took us straight to the hangar. By the time we got to the hangar, Leo had received a call from Max and Kyle that they had started arresting the missing people on Amanda's list in Gad. The two alphas had come with a lot of warriors, so fishing people out in Gad was going to be easy.

I hoped they catch them all, but I knew we had more significant issues to deal with in Lucland. Securing the estate and catching Larry's men to protect Dominic and the people with him would be difficult. I could feel a fight coming, but I knew that I would not want Tamia involved this time.

Once the estate is secured, we will move to Lucland without our mates to neutralise our enemies.

I did not know who or where they were, and I knew Larry would never give them up, so we had to wing it.
