MARKED BY DECEPTION CHAPTER 72: The Start of something crazy
The room felt quiet immediately after Rowan dismissed everyone. I stared at the floor. Someone was still hiding something, even months after the incident. What were they scared we would find out? I didn't even realize Rowan had stood up until I heard the first cabinet open. I looked over at him, and he was already moving around the kitchen, pulling ingredients from the fridge, then reaching for a pan, doing whatever mysterious cooking he intended to do. For some reason, I found myself watching him, maybe because it was better than thinking, because if I thought too hard, I'd start imagining every possible reason someone would still be cleaning up evidence. A few moments later, Rowan looked up. I looked away immediately, feeling flushed that he had caught me staring. "You can sit here if you want." I blinked. "What?" He nodded toward the kitchen island. I stared at him suspiciously. "What happened to me being banned from your kitchen?" "I changed my mind." "You changed you

☆☆LILA ☆☆The moment we got home, Rowan looked at my ankle and said,"Sit down."I immediately shook my head."I'm fine.""You are limping.""It's just a sprain.""Lila."I rolled my eyes."It will work itself out.""Sit."The annoying thing I noticed about Rowan was that when he decided something, he became impossible to argue with.I muttered something insulting under my breath and dropped onto the couch.A few minutes later, he came back carrying a first aid kit. I watched him kneel in front of me and carefully lift my injured leg."Do you know what you're doing?"He glanced up briefly."My sister is a nurse," he said matter-of-factly."Right."I already knew that.Still, watching him work was strange because when I first met Rowan, I thought he was the type of person who would tell someone to walk off a broken leg. Maybe even cruel.Yet here he was kneeling in front of me, treating my leg.For a moment, I simply watched him work.The concentration on his face.The way he focused c
MARKED BY DECEPTION CHAPTER 70: The crime scene
A LONG CHAPTER FOR THE QUEENS☆☆LILA☆☆A week later, I could finally say one thing with confidence.Training still sucked.My body had started adjusting to it, but that didn't mean it hurt any less. Every morning, I woke up sore.Every time, Nyx found new and creative ways to make me question my life choices.And every time, I considered faking my own death.Unfortunately, Nyx would probably still make me train.I walked into the living room and immediately spotted Rowan standing in the kitchen.Without paying much attention to me, he slid a plate toward me.I stared at it.Then at him.Then back at the food."Thank you."He did not answer.As expected, I sat down and started eating.For a few moments, the only sound in the room was the clink of my cutlery while Rowan continued working in the living room.Then Rowan pushed a folder toward me."My detective found something."Immediately, my appetite disappeared. I put down my fork."What?""The land where your father died."My heart sk
MARKED BY DECEPTION CHAPTER 69: THE CHEF
☆☆LILA☆☆I stared at him.Then the counter.Then back at him."You can cook?"Rowan raised an eyebrow before saying, "I am currently standing in a kitchen making dinner.""That's not what I meant."He went back to chopping vegetables.I was still trying to process this."I thought you had a chef.""A chef?""Yeah.""Why?"I shrugged."Because breakfast is always ready before I wake up."He didn't even look up."I like eating breakfast early."I blinked, surprised."So you've been making breakfast every morning?""Yes.""And mine too?"That finally made him glance at me."You're under my care."The words came out matter-of-factly, like it was obvious.I hated how much my chest warmed at that."That's surprisingly nice.""It isn't."My smile widened."Oh?""I don't trust you enough to let you into my kitchen."The warmth immediately vanished."Excuse me?"He returned to cutting vegetables in a you-heard-me way.I stared at him in offense."You don't even know if I can cook."That earned
MARKED BY DECEPTION CHAPTER 68: SERIES OF TRAINING
☆☆LILA☆☆I woke up feeling very sore, like someone had run a truck over me.For a moment, I just lay there staring at the ceiling and wondering if death was an option.Then I remembered Nyx and her training, and death seemed like a better option.With a groan, I forced myself out of bed and shuffled toward the living room.Nyx was already there. Of course she was.She was sitting on the couch with her arms crossed, looking far too awake for someone existing at this ungodly hour.The moment she saw me, a smirk spread across her face."Look who finally decided to roll out of bed."I narrowed my eyes."Excuse me for not being used to having every bone broken."Nyx snorted."Humans.""What about us?""You lot are lazy and dramatic."I stared at her."Wow. Good morning to you too."She stood up, not bothering to wait for me."Come on.""No.""Come on.""I literally cannot feel my legs.""You'll survive.""Will I?""Probably.""That's not reassuring.""It wasn't supposed to be."I groaned b
MARKED BY DECEPTION CHAPTER 67: Self-defense
☆☆LILA☆☆Nyx was exactly as ruthless when training as I imagined she would be.The gym felt expanded than the last time I was in here, with padded floors, punching bags hanging from the ceiling, and the faint smell of sweat and metal filled the air.Nyx stood in front of me with her arms crossed, studying me like I was a disappointing science experiment.“Again,” she said.I exhaled slowly and tried to focus.She lunged first.Before I could react, her hand grabbed my wrist and twisted my arm behind my back.The next thing I knew, the floor slammed into my back.Hard.Pain shot through my shoulders and the air rushed out of my lungs.Nyx didn’t even look slightly impressed.“That was slow,” she said coldly. “If that was a real attack, you’d already be dead.”I groaned but forced myself to sit up.“Well, good thing this isn’t a real attack.”Nyx raised an eyebrow.“Stand up.”I pushed myself to my feet again.My leg protested slightly, but I ignored it.Nyx circled me slowly.“Humans a

☆☆LILA☆☆ The elevator doors slid open to an empty hallway. For a moment, I just stood there, my heart still pounding from the confrontation upstairs. I half-expected Rowan to drag me back upstairs and lock me in my room but he didn’t. At least not yet. I went straight to Selene’s room but h

☆☆LILA☆☆A week passed in a blur. Still, there were no answers or explanations from Rowan.If Rowan was actually searching for my father’s killer, he was doing a very good job of keeping me completely out of it. Every day felt the same. I would eat, read books, watch television, pace around the roo

☆☆LILA☆☆I kept staring at the ringing phone. A part of me wanted to pick it up, but I had already broken the deal I made with Rowan once, and I wasn’t planning to do it again. I was about to decline the call when it was ripped out of my hand.I gasped, spinning around just in time to see Rowan end

☆☆LILA☆☆ I sat on the edge of the bed, thinking about Kai. Selene had caught him. She wasn’t suspecting it; she knew. If she knew, then Rowan would soon know too with time, unless Selene kept it a secret, which I certainly hoped she would. The door opened. I didn’t look up. I didn’t need to.
