A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 124- Gone Bird
ZAYNE’S POV******************The absolute calmness in his words disturbed both me and Dorian. Without thinking twice, I traced his number and rushed to his side.My heart was thumping. Fortunately, he was in his apartment, meaning he hadn’t caused bloodshed yet. ‘Please don’t do anything extreme, Antler.’My head was throbbing, I must help him. Antler had no idea how to control or use his feelings, he would do something that would destroy him.“Antler...!” Absolutely worried, I slammed on his door. My heart was beating in an unsteady rhythm, praying he hadn’t gone too far.Is that what he felt when I had gone beastly? The same worry?“Antler, you bastard, open–” The door slowly opened. I stepped inside the apartment, the first thing I noticed was the trail of blood on the ground, staining his floor.I quickly turned and saw Antler had blood all over him. His knees soaked in it, his hair was a mess, a cut on his cheek and splashes of crimson coating him. My eyes widened, “What..
A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 123- The End
Rose shared her past with me. I found it hard to believe that the girl I saved was none other than her, but the moment was here. My culprit was before me, the traitor, the enemy of my people. ‘My’ enemy. All that was left was to deliver the judgement. “I hated them. I fucking resented those people with the bottom of my heart. They burned my home, I wanted to burn theirs.” She growled, still on her floor, hugging her knees, utterly vulnerable as I was before her, carefully listening to her every work.“That was why… you did all this. You made Kristine run away so she could be near you. You provoked Cassandra… you did all this…”“Yes.” She nodded, resentment flaring in her eyes.“I wanted Dorian’s world to fall apart. I wanted him to lose his sister too and realize how fucking painful that is.”“You were clean. No one suspected you, you took advantage of it. You did everything so damn smoothly, no?” I chuckled dryly. “I didn’t do it smoothly. You made it smooth for me. You let my mis

But, she stopped. She couldn’t. Tears were filling her eyes, the blade was inches away from my heart. She was panting, her hair a mess but didn’t dare to press harder.“Why? I am not stopping you, am I? Go ahead,” I warned, straightening my back, pressing the blade right at my heart.“G-Get away. Or- Or else-”“Or what else, Rose? If that’s your real name,” I challenged her strictly. She couldn’t move. Her body submitted, weakness emerging. In one swift movement, I threw her against the wall with a rough force.She gasped, falling to her knees, the knife slipping from her fingers. She was about to get it but I kicked it away.I had my gun already over her forehead, pinning her down in her place. She put her hands up defensively though there was no terror of death in her eyes. “It’s over, Rose. You are caught.” I enunciated, my voice dead, solidifying my heart at this point to see her as an enemy, not my little bird.“When you know all this, why didn’t you try to know everything?”
A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 121- The Harsh Truth
“What!? How could you say that, Antler!?” Rose gasped, yanking her hand away from mine with absolute discontent. Her stare converted into a glare, attempting to scold me as I simply rose from the “Why shouldn’t I? I would obviously say yes. He just gave me the wrong offer.” I shrugged, rising from my seat, walking towards her with a slow, predatory pace that hitched her breaths.“What… Do you mean?” She gulped, glancing to the side when I was right behind her, securing my hand rigidly over her shoulder“He offered me an eternal peaceful life with you, Rose.” I started leaning down, my voice becoming lower, huskier, witnessing how her body tense up.“You and I, far away, live happily ever after. But I don’t want that. What I really want is–” With my lips pressed at her ear, I whispered my demands seductively, biting her earlobe.“Your Head.”She shivered violently, her eyes wide with a glimpse of appall crossing as my features hardened, staring dead into her eyes with disappointment

The rest of the time was a blur of negotiations, and a non-disclosure agreement and further return of the assets. Dorian was attempting to push me to an edge.“It’s worth 500 million, typically for Nest’s special. Are you sure you want to give it up as well, Zayne?” He pressed, narrowing his eyes.I signed the papers without thinking twice.“Is this enough?” I smirked. Dorian was shocked for a moment before a proud chuckle escaped his lips. His eyes twinkled with a strange pride I failed to encrypt.“I knew I could trust you blindly. You truly are the best choice for Kristine.” I wasn’t doing it for your praise. I wouldn’t retort, obviously. I smiled and gave him a nod.“Everything is settled,” Dorian enunciated, handling the files to his personal assistant, a rare, genuine smile tugging at his lips.“You are officially freed from the Crimson Nest. You are stripped of all your position and privilege, Zayne Nightwood. Go. Go back to your ‘normal’ life.” His voice was soft, he was g
A Scandal With Mr. Nightwood 119- Worth Dying For
ZAYNE’S POV******************If I were to perish, I would take every secret, every lie, and my very soul with me. I wouldn’t allow it to end smoothly– not when I was already the villain of her story. If the truth was to be exhumed, why should I have to face the silence alone?“You were with me in my childhood yet never told me…” She was sitting on the bed, her hand hanging low with endless gloom, the weight of the revelation settled over her.I was sitting on the ground, by her feet– the place where I belong– hugging my knees yet not daring to look up and find disgust in her gaze.“Dorian… Does he know you? Antler too?”“Yes. We grew up together,” I admitted, “Dorian knew that if anyone could protect you, it was me. He knew you’d only be safe with me.”I felt her body tense. Her mind was a blurred landscape, struggling to map out a past she couldn't see.“How… how come I don’t remember? What happened to me?” She whispered wretchedly.“You wanted to forget it.” I replied, smiling
