Once His Wallflower, Now His Biggest Mistake The Crimson Debt
Chapter 163The room was a hollow shell of broken glass and shattered identities. I stood there, my tactical gear heavy with the weight of my own blood and the crushing rejection of my son, watching the girl I had birthed cling to the neck of a man who dealt in secrets and souls like they were common currency.Cyprian stood tall, his hand resting on Luna’s back with a proprietary air that made my stomach churn. He looked down at me, his eyes filled with a cold, intellectual satisfaction.“She’s home, Evelyn,” Cyprian said, his voice a smooth, terrifying silk. “She knows where she belongs.”I felt the sob rising in my throat, but I forced it down, molding it into something harder. Something sharper. I felt my lips twitch, pulling back into a wicked, jagged smile that didn't reach my eyes. My heart was a pulverized mess, but my mind was a steel trap.“You think you’ve won, don’t you, Cyprian?” I whispered, the sound cutting through the hum of the remaining medical monitors. “You think b

Chapter 162The air in the room was so thick with tension it felt like breathing through wool. Yamelyan’s hands were shaking where they rested over mine, his silver eyes searching my face for a truth he was terrified to find.“Us,” he whispered, his voice cracking like dry timber. “It’s always been us, Evelyn. Even when I was a lie, even when you were a mask. God help me, it’s us.”“Ya, no!” Lenochka screamed, stepping forward to grab his arm. “This is madness! You’re letting her experiment on them because you’re addicted to her ghost!”“Step back, Le,” Yamelyan growled, his voice dropping an octave into that lethal, predatory tone he usually reserved for his targets. “I’m not doing this for a ghost. I’m doing this for my children. If there is a one percent chance they wake up, I’m taking it. I’m the father. This is my call.”I didn't wait for her to argue. I didn't give her the chance. I ripped open the titanium crate, the metal shrieking as I forced the lid back. Inside, the machine
Once His Wallflower, Now His Biggest Mistake The Gamble of a Ghost
Chapter 161The Prokofiev Pride felt different now. The air wasn't just cold; it was empty. The halls that usually buzzed with the silent, lethal presence of Sergei’s elite guards were hollow. I walked through the grand foyer, my black tactical gear stained with the salt of Russian snow and the copper scent of my own blood. My shoulder throbbed with every heartbeat, but I didn't care. The "friend" I’d called had delivered. The machines were here.As I rounded the corner toward the private medical wing, a figure blurred toward me. "Evelina! What in God’s name happened to you?" Yamelyan’s silver eyes were blown wide with terror. He reached for my bloodied shoulder, his hands trembling. "You’re bleeding. You’re pale. Where is Sergei? He took every man we have and left us here defenseless. He wouldn't answer the comms.""Sergei is busy," I said, my voice as flat as a frozen lake. I brushed past him, my boots clicking with a finality that made Lenochka, who was standing by the door, flin
Once His Wallflower, Now His Biggest Mistake The Choice of Three Crowns
Chapter 160I began to run. My boots pounded against the packed ice, the sound echoing off the rusted warehouse walls like rapid gunfire. I could hear them behind me, the heavy, rhythmic thumping of Sergei’s cane and the shouts of his men; the roar of Cyprian’s SUV engines as they swerved to cut me off; and the silent, predatory glide of Volkov’s armored vehicles closing the gap."Evelina! Stop!" Sergei’s voice was a frantic plea."Darling, don't be a fool!" Cyprian’s shout was laced with an irritation that masked his terror.I didn't stop. I ran until I reached the very center of the square, a vast, empty stage of concrete and frost. Then, I skidded to a halt. I turned, my chest heaving, the blood from my shoulder staining the black tactical gear a dark, wet crimson. I stood my ground. From the north, Sergei and Nikolai arrived, weapons drawn, gasping for air. From the east, Cyprian stepped out of his car, his charcoal tuxedo shirt open at the collar, a Sig Sauer held firmly in h

Chapter 159The snow didn't just fall; it bit. It was a million tiny needles of ice trying to stitch my eyes shut, but the adrenaline coursing through my veins was a roaring furnace. I stood in the shadow of a rusted warehouse, my breath coming in ragged, ghostly plumes. My shoulder was a pulsing knot of agony, the bandage I’d thrown together already feeling wet and heavy with blood.I stared at the screen of the stolen phone. The light felt like a beacon in the darkness, a digital tether to a life that felt like a dream I’d had a hundred years ago. I pressed the call button.The ringback tone was steady. Monotonous. It was the sound of a world that operated on logic, contracts, and the cold, calculated ambition of Silas Sterling.“Silas Sterling.”The voice was deep, authoritative, and vibrated with the familiar rasp of expensive cigars and effortless power. For a second, my heart performed a painful somersault. This was the man who had tucked me into bed, the man who had taught m
Once His Wallflower, Now His Biggest Mistake The White Void & The Great Escape
Chapter 158White. Everything was white. The ceiling, the walls, the floor, it was like waking up inside a cloud made of bleach. My shoulder felt like someone had pressed a glowing hot iron into my skin. Every breath I took was a struggle, my lungs feeling heavy and slow.I tried to move my hand, but it was taped down. An IV line ran into my vein, pumping something cold and numbing into my system. I wasn't at the gala anymore. I wasn't in the Prokofiev stronghold. This was somewhere else. Somewhere private. Somewhere that smelled like Cyprian Cross.I closed my eyes, remembering the shadows in the study. The flash of gun barrels. The way the bullet had torn through me before I could even blink. They wanted me dead. Or worse, they wanted me as a trophy."You're awake," a soft voice said.I didn't open my eyes. I kept my breathing shallow, my body limp. I had learned a lot from the Sterlings, and the first rule of survival was to never let your enemy know you’re conscious.A nurse in
