~Sylvester~
I took out the following letter, and it was a letter my mother had written to Jenny.
“Dear Jenny, I am pained to my soul that Maurice would do such a thing to me. Kindly let me know if
there is a way to overturn this injustice. That seat is rightfully mine, and I want Dominic to sit on it as
head of the council. Please, I need your help. You know everything, and you know that bitch Alissa and
everything she did to me. Please help me overturn this cruelty. Yours Stephanie Balyaev Volkov”
It read, and I went through Jenny’s scribbles.
Studying the scribbles, she was tracing David.
I wondered what she was tracing him for. Was it to do my father’s bidding or my mother’s bidding?
According to the scribbles, David had moved from Grizlo to Haddad, then he moved to Lucland and
went to the west to live in Gad, after which she lost track of him. Why was he moving about so much?
The following paper was a letter from my father before he went on a pilgrimage.
“Dear Jenny, Hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you because Gavin, Lucas and I won’t see
you before we leave for our pilgrimage, but I promise we won’t be long. Also, I have decided to instate
David as the head of the council using the Balyaev seat. Kindly help me find him and ensure he takes
his place as head of the council. Also, please keep it between us because you know how Stephanie
can get. When I return, I will reward you greatly for your loyalty.
Yours sincerely, Maurice. PS do not forget to buy a replacement for the red lace that I like. See you
soon, darling,” it read, and I was stunned.
I did not need someone to explain what I had just read.
Jenny was sleeping with my father. They were having an affair, and I was sure my mother did not know
because Jenny was my mother’s best friend.
The following letter was addressed to my father while he and his officers had left on pilgrimage.
“My darling Maurice, you need to be careful; I think Stephanie is planning to get you. She said
something about you stealing from her. I do not know why but she seems to want to set you up. Please
be careful and come back to me in peace. I bought the red lace you like, and I hope it lasts before you
rip it. Please hurry. I miss you so much, and my body is craving your touch so much that I find myself
touching myself often just thinking of you..” I could not finish the letter because it seemed like the rest
was dirty talk.
From what I had read so far, Jenny was playing two sides.
I suspect she lied to my father about my mother being out to get him. All my mother said was that she
did not want David to have her ancestral seat, and she was in the right. Unless there were other
communications between then and when she sent the letter to my father. I would have to dig deeper.
It was wrong for my father to try to pass my mother’s seat and Dominic’s birthright to his bastard.
“Darling,” Tamia said, and I looked at her. She was holding a photo album and her eyes looked a bit
worried.
She handed the album to me, and I was shocked at the content. According to the pictures, my father
had a child with Jenny.
I began to rake my head, wondering who this child was because he wasn’t David, and according to the
time stamps on the pictures, I was just two years older than the baby.
“That isn’t all,” she said and showed me some letters.
I read the content.
“Whores have no place on the council. You better keep your mouth shut, or I will shut it forever.” it read,
and I was surprised.
The next one read.
“I see you are getting cosy with your position on the council. I wonder how people would feel when they
find out you were fucking the wolf lord while married to your late husband, of which you currently
occupy his seat on the council. What would they say when they find out you even had a bastard by the
wolf lord three years after your husband died? Bloody hypocrite. I will advise you to shut your mouth
and stop digging for shit, or you will get what is coming,” it read, and there were lots of them.
Some had dried tears on them. Meaning Jenny wept while she read some. I wondered about the kind
of life Jenny was living.
I put down the letters and picked up Volkov’s file again.
“She kept a journal, Sylvester,” Tamia said, and I looked at her and saw a book in her hand.
Just then, the rest of our team walked into the office.
“Sylvester, Jenny was screwing our fathers,” Marcel said, and I looked at him.
He showed me a black-and-white picture of Jenny tied and Marcel’s father, Lucas, and my father
having their way with her.
We did not need to guess who was behind the camera. It was definitely Theodore’s father.
I wondered about the kind of sick life our parents were living.
I turned the picture and saw a scribble.
“To Maurice, thank you for letting us share your woman this once; it was an awesome experience. You
are one lucky man to have someone like her. Hope you are open to sharing again. We looked good
together,” It read, and both Theodore and Maurice’s father signed it. Gavin and Lucas.
I bowed my head in shame because there were times the three of us shared women like this, but it
seemed Jenny belonged to my father, who let them have her once. I dumped the picture, and Tamia
picked it up. Avery and Linda joined her in studying it.
I continued to flip through the documents in my hand.
“Sylvester,” Tamia said softly, and I looked at her.
“Jenny was in pain in this picture. I think she was being taken against her will,” She said, and I did not
care, but it must be a clue to what had happened.
I collected the picture from her, and indeed Jenny was not happy. Why did my father do this to her? I
guess I will have to let Tamia study her journal.
I found a letter addressed to my mother, and it read.
“Stephanie, I know you set Maurice up in the south. You didn’t have to do it. You have ruined a lot of
lives. I know he hurt you, but why will you do this to him? I had apologised to you for sleeping with him;
I even helped you make sure David did not ascend your family seat on the council. Why couldn’t you let
it go, Stephanie? I hope you will have the courage to tell your sons that you set their father up and had
him killed in the south,” She said. The letter looked written in haste as if the writer was experiencing
anger and sorrow at the same time.
I quickly checked to see if my mother had replied to her, and she did.
“How dare you insinuate such nonsense? I would have killed you if I had planned to have him killed. I
am not angry about you grieving the death of your lover and lord, but don’t you dare try to pin it on me
or bring my sons into the conversation. As for this bastard, David, that you manipulated his position, do
not say you did it for me. Vino is your brother’s son, and you love him dearly. You did it for the sake of
the Lawrence family. Let this be the last time you will try to accuse me.” It read, and I was relieved
because I was scared that my mother had set my father up. It was plausible thinking about all he did to
her.
While I searched the document, I wondered what happened to Jenny’s child with my father.
I did not know if it was a boy or a girl, but the baby had somehow disappeared. Did it somehow die? I
guess I will have to lean on the journal to explain it.
I returned to the cabinet, and the remaining files were duty files, but I planned on taking everything with
me to study them.
Jenny was a can of worms, and it was apparent she was the target of the attack at my house in
Lucland.
Maybe the same person who sent her the anonymous threat letters might have been the one who
decided to finish her off, or someone she might have angered.
I did not understand why they did it in my mother’s house and injured my mother too.
I also realised it was odd that Jenny was in my mother’s house, seeing the amount of bad blood
between them.
Although my mother had a lot of questions to answer, I doubted she would tell the truth or lead me
right. She had so many secrets that I could never tell the difference between her truths and lies.
I checked the file and saw a letter addressed to David.
“Dear David, as per your request, I have sent you eight hundred thousand Lakhs. I hope this is enough
for you and your mate to settle wherever you like. Now that your half-brother is lord, please do not
come to Lucland because he is searching to kill you. You have heard of his reputation. It will be in your
best interest to stay away. Do stay in touch and let me know if you need anything.” It read, and I was
enraged.
This bitch had sent a letter to David telling him that I was hunting him when I did not know of his
existence.
Why would she go to this length to keep David away?
I would have thought David was her son if I did not know of Alissa. She even sent him a lot of money to
settle down with.
Hearing David had a wife and family, and seeing that he was moving about, made me suspect he might
not be the culprit, but then again, he could have felt entitled and cheated and decided to snap.
Anything could have happened. Finding him and Jenny’s child, whether a man or woman, was
necessary. It was imperative.
Babies don’t disappear. I knew something was terribly wrong with the picture.
We searched the office and found other things, but nothing led to her child.
“Let us take all the files, journals, photo albums and anything that could give us clues to study. We will
be staying at the Volkov duplex in Lucland. I asked the workers there to prepare food and three rooms
for us,” I said, and everyone was happy except for me.
I had come here for an answer, but it seemed I would be leaving the place more confused than I had
come.
I wanted them to pack the files out of the house. While we were packing, five Kappas entered the
office.
I figured they were the people that were supposed to be guarding the place.
When they saw us, they paid their respects and were scared.
They had to be because they were not doing their duty, and I had seen it first-hand.
They claimed they went to eat, and I told them it was wrong for them to all leave without attending to
their work.
They handed me the keys, and I locked the office and the door that led to the corridor to keep intruders
out.
We exited the house, and we all hopped into our jeeps respectively and drove to the Volkov duplex in
Lucland, where my mother was staying before she moved back to the estate.
“You need to calm down, darling,” Tamia said, and I sighed.
“As long as you are with me, I am calm, green-eyes. There are so many unanswered questions,” I
confessed, and she placed her hand on my thigh.
“I am sure her journal would answer a few of those questions. You just have to keep your mind open
and watch your temper. It seems Jenny was a shitty person,” she said, and I laughed because of how
she put it. I was grateful to have Tamia beside me.
I rubbed her thigh gently.
“I love you, Tamia,” I confessed from the bottom of my heart, and instead of an I-love-you-too response,
my mate said something quite funny.
“Then you show me how much tonight,” She replied, and I laughed.
Only Tamia could get away with that as the reply to I-love-you.
She was cute like that.
I stepped on the gas, eager to get her out of her clothes, taste her and bury myself in her.
I could never get enough of my green-eyed beauty.
