Shadows of Destiny

Jenny’s Treasures ~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.

4 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.
