Shadows of Destiny

Chapter 68

The Rest Of It -Sylvester- I was speechless.

My mother sat on the couch and was weeping.

I could see she was afraid, and I understood why.

She had committed treason.

I sighed and looked at her.

I could see she was tired and wondered how much she was hiding.

“Is there anything else, mother, that I need to know?” I asked her, and she looked at me.

It was hard for her, but she knew her game was up.

“I hated her.” She confessed, and I did not need to guess who she was talking about.

“She came to my house uninvited and told me that she was tired of the money she was getting from me and she needed to get justice for Maurice.

She was on to something, and I knew she would do it.

I do not know if it had anything to do with the bastard that Maurice took from her, but she was broken, and she came to vent her anger on me,” my mother said, and I sighed.

“She said I was an idiot and could not take care of business.

She bragged to me that I was a fool.

She told me she was the one that helped me get rid of my competition.

1 I only had one competition when it came to your father, and that was Alissa.

She told me how she paid the doctor to inject silver into her system.

Silver doesn’t kill us; it only stops us from healing and makes us weak, which was what it did to Alissa the day she gave birth.

The doctor registered her cause of death as an extreme case of preeclampsia.

She bragged that I would not be able to prove it because, unlike me, she knew how to tidy up her mess.

The doctor died a month after Alissa passed away.

We didn’t see it as anything when it happened, but I figured it out when she told I knew Jenny was crazy, but I did not realise how crazy she was until she said what she said.

After she bragged about what she did to Alissa, she said I reaped the benefit of her hard work but not anymore,” my mother said I knew where it was going, but I held my tongue to let her speak.

“I did not know she was screwing your father when I asked her to help secure the Balyaev seat.

I found out after he died, and she thought that was why I had him killed.

She claimed she loved your father, but it was all a lie.

She was a bloody social climber.

She dated Gavin Orlov in secret.

I knew but kept her secret because her husband was late by then.

1 I did not know she was also screwing my husband when I learned about her and Gavin.

I found out after Devin had killed him, and I was mad.

Jenny was a bloody social climber.
