Darius
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 Nellie can get. When I return, I will reward you greatly for your loyalty.
Yours sincerely, Collier. 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 Collier, you need to be careful; I think Nellie 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 Abelardo’s birthright to his bastard.
“Darling,” Zora 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

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 Hand’s file again.
“She kept a journal, Darius,” Zora said, and I looked at her and saw a book in her hand.
Just then, the rest of our team walked into the office.
“Darius, Jenny was screwing our fathers,” Marcel said, and I looked at him.
He showed me a Sage–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 Raphael’s father.
I wondered about the kind of sick life our parents were living.
I turned the picture and saw a scribble.
“To Collier, 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 Raphael and Collier’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 Zora picked it up. Kara and Eloise joined her in studying it.
I continued to flip through the documents in my hand.
“Darius,” Zora 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 Zora study her journal.
I found a letter addressed to my mother, and it read.
“Nellie, I know you set Collier 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, Nellie? 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
‘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.
