Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 240: The Truth

Lennox’s POV

"What!" Levi blurted out in utter shock, his voice echoing through the throne room. I exchanged a tense glance with him, his eyes wide with disbelief, then turned my gaze back to Silas as my frown deepened, my hand tightening around the iron in my grip.

"One more lie to me," I snarled, my voice low but trembling with rage, "and I swear I’ll pierce this iron straight through your throat!" I spat the words out, refusing to believe the filth that had just fallen from Silas’s mouth.

Silas scoffed, the corner of his mouth twitching into a mocking smile. "Why should I lie? If you think I’m spinning stories, then call your parents and ask them yourself. Four years ago, they came to me—handed me a hefty sum to forge those three letters. They told me exactly what to write, word for word, and when I was done, they took the letters away." he said, sounding so sure of his words.

My heart thundered in my chest as I turned to my brothers, catching the shadow of horror etched into their faces. None of us wanted to believe this—could believe this—but deep down we all knew there was only one way to find out.

"Dustin..." I called out to Dustin, who stood at a corner. "Go get my parents... now."

Dustin nodded before walking out.

After he left, a tense silence hung in the air... How could this be true? My own parents, forging the letters? Why? For what possible reason? And the spell—the damn spell that twisted our minds, that poisoned our hearts, that nearly drove us to kill Olivia. Why would they do that? What did they gain?

I shook my head, not wanting to believe it... I turned to Silas and growled, "You better not be fucking lying to me." I spat, and in that moment, the door to the throne room pushed open, and Dustin escorted my parents in.

The second my mother’s eyes fell on Silas, her breath caught sharp in her throat. My father inhaled like he’d just been punched in the gut.

That was enough. That was all we needed.

Levi stepped forward. "Mother. Father. Silas says you paid him to forge those letters. Is that true?"

"And don’t even think of lying," Louis added darkly.
