Nyx’s POV

The hospital corridors smelled of disinfectant and sorrow. I pushed the door open, as the door shut behind me, Machines hummed. My daughter lay pale, unmoving, my little girl laid lifeless before me...

Her small chest rose and fell beneath the sheets, steady but fragile, as though even breathing was too much to ask of her.

I sat by her bed and broke.

The tears I had fought in front of Renz, the tears I buried under liquor and anger—they came spilling now. My sobs cracked.

“Baby,” I whispered, my voice raw, “he came back. Your father.”

The words cut me, bleeding shame and fury all at once.

“He doesn’t know you exist. He doesn’t deserve you. And maybe it's for the better. My chest burned as I pressed my forehead to her hand. “But God, I’m so tired of fighting this alone.”

I wept until my body shook, confessing into the silence of her unconscious state. “He looked at me like he owned me, like nothing had changed, like the years hadn’t buried me alive. And for a s

  • THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS   Brother from another life

    Marco's PovAfter the night with Camila, leaving became harder than ever. Still, I couldn’t stay. I had work to finish. I and a few of my men boarded a flight straight to Italy, the city lights shrinking behind us.Gabe was wrong. Freezing our cards? That wouldn’t stop anything. Not me. Not this.I ran through all the possibilities in my head. The only way forward was to convince Malachi that Renz was done. And he had to kill Renz himself.It made me uneasy at first. The thought of it… it scared me. But nothing would end if it wasn’t brought to an end.Disguised as a delivery guy, I moved carefully, blending in. I listened, just enough to catch the chatter. Malachi’s men, careless, greedy for insults. That was enough. From their mouths, I got Renz’s location.Solitary confinement. I thought about that as we drove—how cruel Malachi could be. He was a man who never held back, not even his anger. The deal was done—so what more did he want from Renz?“Did you see the new guy swing at us?”

  • THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS   A father who killed his daughter

    I sat slumped on the cold floor, staring at the wall like it owed me answers.How long had I been waiting? Hours? Day?Waiting for Malachi to come end me—like some fool begging the devil to show mercy.I laughed under my breath.What a joke.Marco’s plan—if you could call it that—is pure madness.Provoke Malachi? Push him till he snaps?Get him to kill you?Seriously.I didn’t question it then. when he had worn a guard’s uniform, walked in with food, and even fooled the cameras. If he could pull that off, maybe he could pull off the rest.But now, sitting here in the dark, I wasn’t so sure.What if I die for nothing, and Nyx stays trapped with that bastard Gabe?Still, this was no time to doubt.If my death would tear this empire apart from inside, then so be it.“I must die today,” I muttered, smiling bitterly. “What the fuck were you thinking, Marco?”Then… I heard it—footsteps.Slow. Heavy. The kind that carried pride and poison.Keys jingled.Then, the door groaned open.“Luis Re

  • THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS   "Get him to kill you, Renz"

    Renz's PovI woke up to silence.Thick. Cold. Endless. The kind that presses against your chest till you forget what air feels like. My head spun as I blinked, trying to tell if my eyes were open or shut. The dark was that deep.The cell smelled of mold, metal, and blood that wasn’t just mine.For a second, I couldn’t tell if I was alive or buried.My head throbbed. My throat burned.It came back slowly—the chains, the fall, Malachi’s voice. The promise of hell.And now this—silence.But they were wrong.They could lock my body, not my will. I was alive—and that meant I could still hate.I sat up, hands trembling, feeling the rough stone beneath me.Days passed—or maybe hours. The dark swallowed everything, time had no meaning here.No window, no sound, just that steady drip of water in the corner—slow, mocking.The only thing that reminded me I was still human was the sound of footsteps. Once a day, maybe twice, a guard would bring food—hard bread, cold soup. Just enough to keep me

  • THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS    She defies me

    Gabriel's Pov“Damn it…” I muttered, slamming the pen down. I've been staring at the same paper for minutes. I couldn’t think straight. Her face—her silence—kept flashing in my head like an echo that refused to die.Nyx.She’s been too quiet lately. No attitude, no sharp words—just calm. I leaned back, rubbing my temple, smirking bitterly.“Did the doctor inject obedience into you or what?” I smirked.“She even smiled at dinner yesterday,” I muttered. “Who are you fooling, Nyx?”. I should’ve been pleased, but instead, it made me uneasy. That woman… she never plays straight.A soft knock interrupted my thoughts. “Sir?”Elena peeked in. “It’s almost time for breakfast.”I glanced at my watch, sighed, and nodded. “I’ll be there soon.”She nodded, turned to leave, but I stopped her.“Wait,” I said. “What about Nyx?”Elena smiled faintly. “She’s already at the table, sir.”That caught me.Already there? No shouting, no delay, no silent war?Interesting.“Alright,” I said. “You can go.”Whe

    Marco's Pov“Marco… are you okay?” Bianca’s voice cracked through the line, low and worried. “You’ve been quiet for too long. What’s happening over there? Everyone’s talking about it.”I leaned back, staring into nothing. “I’m fine. Just keeping my head down.”She didn’t buy it. “That’s what you always say. But things are getting bad here. He threatened me, Marco. Gabe. Said I should know my place.”My jaw tightened. “He what?”“He even replaced my management. Now I work under some jerk at the club. But don’t worry,” she said quickly. “I told Gabe I’d stay loyal… and I am. Just not to him. I’m staying close, watching, listening—trying to find something we can use against him.”I rubbed my temple, half-angry, half-proud. "That's risky, Bianca."“I know.”“Still,” I said. “It’s a good plan. Just be careful, alright? Don’t get too close. Not even to his shadow.”There was a pause. I could almost hear her heartbeat through the silence. Then she whispered, “What about you, Marco? What are

  • THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS   Thank Heavens

    Nyx's PovThe morning felt strange. My body was weak, and my head spun every time I moved. I could still remember last night—how he’d tried to take what I didn’t give, how I’d fought back, and how my hand shook when the knife tore through his skin.Now I had to face him like nothing happened.At breakfast, I stayed quiet. I didn’t want to see him or hear his voice, but he kept watching me. He tried to provoke me, but I stayed calm and cold, hoping he’d give up and leave.Every bite felt heavy. My stomach turned, but I forced the food down, pretending I was fine.When he finally left, I exhaled. My hands were cold. And as soon as the door closed, I went to my room and sat on the bed, holding my stomach with a shaky hand. The fear came back. No one can find out.I reached for water, but the jug was empty. So I grabbed the phone. “Elena!” I called. “Bring me some water.”When she didn’t respond right away, I stumbled to the bathroom, splashing my face with cold water. My reflection looke
