Fated To Not Just One But Three novel Chapter 268

268 Confession

Lennox’s POV

“According to him, Olivia’s enemies are looking for him. Although they don’t know him, once they see him, they will know he is the one… they knew Olivia is still alive and they wanted her dead, so they have been looking for him in order to get to her, so he asked me if he could remain in the cell for now. I agreed to his request.

But it was too late. We were caught.

They nodded and disappeared down the hall. The room remained tense–thick with all the questions that had no answers yet. Minutes later, the guards returned, practically dragging Anita’s father in. He stumbled forward, confusion all over his wrinkled face. “What is going on-?”

My mind reeled at the layers upon layers of secrets.

His lips parted, but nothing came out. His eyes darted between me, my brothers… and then our parents.

Father looked at us with guilty eyes. “Everything we did… everything I did… was for your best interest…‘

“No!” Levi angrily cut her off. “Don’t even think of apologizing, Mother…” he said through gritted teeth.

My frown deepened… so making Olivia and her mother Omega was Mr. Parker’s request.

“That’s why,” she said softly, “when Parker told your father which family Olivia came from… we thought it was best to separate you all.” She looked down for a moment, guilt flashing across her face.

“He said Olivia’s father, his best friend, would never rest in his grave if he knew we allowed a bond to form between our families. He reminded us of the hatred–of the danger. He said the Blackwells and our family were never meant to be connected. No link should ever exist.”

I turned to Father and glared at him. “What happened to Mr. Parker?” I demanded.

“Then Anita declared she was pregnant. I used that,” she confessed. “I thought it was a good opportunity. A way to end the bond before something worse happened. I wanted you three to mark Anita and end your bond with Olivia. Not because I hated Olivia. f never did.” She looked me right in the eyes now.

“Guards!” I barked toward the open door, my voice shaking the walls. Within seconds, two guards rushed in.

“We are sorry,” Mother replied, but it only fueled my anger.

“Until Mr. Parker–Olivia’s guardian–reached out to us,” she continued, “and warned that what we were doing wasn’t right.” She took a breath.

Mother nodded. “Yes. Despite her bloodline. Despite everything. I accepted her.

“It wasn’t her. It was the bloodline. The war. The fear. I didn’t want my sons to be caught in that again.”

My throat tightened.

“So you accepted Olivia?” Louis asked, a bit surprised.

“You should’ve trusted us,” Louis finally said, his angry voice booming in the air. “You should’ve told us everything from the beginning!”

Father nodded slowly. “Because I faked his death.”

“I’m going to ask you a question,” I said coldly. “And you will tell me nothing but the truth. Do you understand me?” He swallowed hard.

“Yes or no!” I roared. He flinched. Then, finally, he nodded slowly. “Yes.”

“Now,” I snarled. “Did you cast a spell on the letters sent to us? Did you enchant them- yes or no?”

Mother stepped forward then, her expression unreadable.

I scoffed.

Louis raked a hand through his hair. “All this happened under our nose, and we had no knowledge of it,”

We all looked at Father, whose brow was furrowed as if he was trying to recall. Then he nodded. “YES… Anita’s father was there.”

“So we forged the letters,” she admitted. “But we didn’t bewitch them. We only forged the letters, and it worked. But the Moon Goddess played a cruel trick by mating her with you three anyway.”

I snarled and glared at him. “We didn’t ask you to… we never asked you to do any of the things you did,” I spat angrily.
