Bound by his Curse Chapter Thirty-Five: A clean kill
Chapter Thirty-Five: A clean killMaya’s POVThe room smelled like iron. Not strong enough to choke, just enough to sit at the back of your throat and stay there.He was still alive.I stood across from him, arms folded, watching the slow rise and fall of his chest. His head hung low, shoulders slack, like his body had already given up even if his heart hadn’t caught up yet.One of Victor’s men.Or what was left of him.Lucien leaned against the wall beside me, completely at ease, like this was just another dull afternoon.“I’m starting to think he’s doing this on purpose,” he said, glancing at the man. “You know… dramatic silence, last stand, all that.”“He’s thinking,” I replied.Lucien tilted his head. “About what? His childhood?”I ignored that.The man coughed weakly, blood slipping past his lips again. One of the guards behind him shifted, tightening their grip on his shoulders to keep him upright.I slowly stepped forward. We already had most of what we needed. This was just… t
Bound by his Curse Chapter Thirty-Four: The Report
Chapter Thirty-Four: The ReportVictor’s POVThe corridor was eerily quiet, a silence that felt more like a warning than peace. My footsteps echoed on the polished black floor, each one sounding louder than it should. The guards at the entrance, as always, remained silent, only stepping aside to let me pass. It was obvious he had been expecting me.The doors ahead slid open before I even reached them, a silent invitation. Stepping inside, the air immediately felt colder, a deliberate chill. The room was dim, with low lights casting unsettling shadows that seemed to writhe on their own. He sat ahead, a figure partially obscured, relaxed with one leg crossed over the other, watching. Always watching. I stopped a few steps in and bowed my head slightly. "Master."“Master.”A pause, then his voice, unnervingly calm, "You're late." "I came as soon as I confirmed it." I replied He cut straight to it, "Confirmed what?" "They are no longer affected by the distance barrier," I stated. S

Chapter Thirty-Three: What They WantNathaniel Crowe’s POVLucien was already talking when I walked in.“…I’m just saying, if we’re being hunted by some ancient psycho, the least he could do is send a proper invitation.”“Well I don't remember any one inviting you,” Maya replied flatly.“Ouch. That really hurts.”“As it should.”I ignored them both and stepped fully into the study.Wei Zhang stood near the table, tablet in hand. Vivian was by the window, arms folded. Maya leaned against the desk, calm as always.While Lucien?Sprawled like he owned the place which was nothing new.“You’re late,” Maya said.“Well, im here,” I replied.“That’s not the same thing.”“It is tonight.”Lucien let out a low whistle. “Ah… he’s in one of those moods. Besides Maya, he is married man. Well kind of married but you get.” he said throwing a look at Maya. "Well, it understandable if you don't get..""Lucien..." Maya started“I believe there is a report.” i said breaking off the atmosphere.Wei steppe

Chapter Thirty-Two: Guess What HappenedIris Moore’s POV“Iris? Are you even listening to me?!”I blinked.“Oh sorry! Say that again,” I said quickly, dropping onto the bed, pulling my legs under me.“You haven’t changed,” the voice on the other end laughed. “Still zoning out mid-conversation.”I smiled.God, I missed that voice.“Silvia, it’s been like a year,” I said. “so pleaseeeee i’m allowed to be dramatic.”“A year and you forgot how to pick calls?” she shot back. “I’ve been trying this number for days!”“Days?” I frowned. “How did you even get my number?”“Austin.”Of course.I let out a small laugh. “That guy still talks too much.”“He said and I quote—‘If you find Iris, tell her I still make the best pasta in the city.’”I burst out laughing.“He would say that.”“So you do remember him.”“How can I forget?” I said, rolling onto my back, staring at the ceiling. “He nearly burnt the kitchen down trying to impress a customer.”“That was one time!”“That was three times, Silvia.
Bound by his Curse Chapter Thirty-One: Typical Iris
Chapter Thirty-One: Typical Iris Nathaniel Crowe’s POV “Pervert!” For a second, I just stared at her..Then it hit me. A laugh broke out before I could stop it. It was not a smirk, not the usual quiet amusement. It was an actual loud and uncontrolled laugh. I sat up slightly on the bed, dragging a hand through my hair as the sound left me again. I couldn’t remember the last time I laughed like that..If ever. “This is not funny!” she snapped. That only made it worse. I looked at her, really looked this time. Her face was red. Not just flushed, it was fully red. Her hair slightly damp, strands sticking to her neck. That bathrobe loosely tied like she hadn’t even realized how… distracting that was. And the expression on her face, which was somewhere between embarrassed and offended. “I’m serious!” she added, clearly irritated now. “I can see that,” I said, still fighting the laughter. “Doesn’t make it less funny.” “You’re unbelievable.” “So you’ve said.” She grabbed another
Bound by his Curse Chapter Thirty: You're a Prevert!
Chapter Thirty: You're a Prevert! Iris Moore’s POV The bathroom mirror was fogging up again. I wiped a small part of it with my palm, staring at my reflection. For a second, I didn’t even recognise myself. “Get a grip, Iris,” I muttered. The whole day had been a lot. The man, the office, the dinner, that conversation and Aria. I exhaled slowly, pushing the thoughts away. “Not now.” I reached for my towel, wrapping it around myself before stepping out into the room. My hair was still damp, water trailing lightly down my neck. I barely took two steps when I noticed him, Nathaniel standing by the bed with my phone in his hand. My brows pulled together instantly. “And what do you think you are doing?” He didn’t look guilty. Of course he didn’t. He was Nathaniel Crowe after all. His gaze flicked briefly to me, then back to the phone screen like whatever was on it was far more interesting. “It was ringing,” he said calmly. “And that means you pick it up?” I shot back, walking
