Nyx’s Pov

I stood near the window with my arms wrapped around myself, staring downstairs through the slightly opened curtain. The cold glass pressed against my fingers, but I barely felt it.

Outside, under the dim lights, Renz stood with a few men and Bianca.

Talking. Planning. Preparing for war.

My chest tightened painfully at the sight of him.

Even from this distance, I could tell how focused he was. The way his shoulders stayed stiff. The way his eyes kept moving over maps and phones an

  • THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS   Fear looks different on Renz

    You'll never see them without me."Malachi smiled through blood, even with a gun pressed against his skull.The bastard was still smiling.I scoffed."You know what?" I crouched lower. "It's satisfying seeing you like this."His smile twitched."Last time, you got lucky."I tilted his head back harder. "But you won't escape me this time."His jaw clenched. Fear looked better on him than confidence ever did. Then several of my men rushed into the room behind me. The sight alone made Malachi's expression darken slightly.I laughed."Wondering where your help is?"I forced his face forward."Allow me to update you." I told him calmly."Every ally you brought here is either dead, bleeding, or soon will be."I leaned closer."And once you're gone..."A smile tugged at my lips. "The rest will bow to me.""I don't think so."The disgusting voice made my eyes narrow instantly.Maria.That bitch. She walked into the room like she owned it. Black clothes. Dark hair. That same annoying confidenc

  • THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS   Endgame begins

    Renz’s Pov The moment I stepped out of the car, the entire environment smelled like old blood and betrayal. The building looked exactly like the kind of place devils retired to. Malachi always loved places like this. A clean structure.... A pit. Exactly the kind of place a coward would drag people into just to feel powerful. Some meters away behind us, hidden carefully where eyes wouldn’t easily catch them, Maria and the others waited silently. Today needed to end.... I admit that am mentally tired, tired of seeing fear in Nyx’s eyes. Tired of Malachi breathing the same air as me. He had ordered me to come alone. Too bad I stopped listening to him a long time ago. My eyes lifted toward the large building ahead while my men steadied themselves beside me. I adjusted my cuffs calmly before walking ahead. Honestly... I should’ve felt uneasy coming back into Malachi's pit. After what he was lucked to do to me the last time. The chains, the torture...the blood. The humiliation. T

  • THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS   Even devil's fear surprises

    Maria’s Pov The underground hideout smelled like sweat, alcohol, and sin. I walked down the narrow stairs slowly, my boots echoing softly through the dim room while memories from last night crawled shamelessly through my head. Ricardo and I had spent the entire night tangled in each other. A faint smirk touched my lips as I pushed the final door open..and there he was. Still sleeping. Unbelievable. He laid carelessly across the bed like the world wasn’t preparing for war upstairs. His shirt was somewhere on the floor. My eyes dragged slowly over his bare chest. Broad shoulders. Tattoos. Sharp jaw...The kind of body women ruined themselves for. God....He was unfairly beautiful...but sometimes I genuinely hated the kind of man I liked. Peace never followed Ricardo. Blood did. And somehow… It keeps me crawling back to him. I folded my arms slowly while I kept staring at him... Imagining, everyone upstairs was tense. Men were armed. Malachi had practically turned the entire esta

  • THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS   They get broken one day

    Her eyes narrowed. “I thought you were serious about my sister.” That line struck directly. “And yet you’re staying here folding your arms?” “There’s already a plan!” I answered immediately. My voice hardened slightly. “We’re not sitting idle.” Then stepped closer. “Everybody is already playing their role.” “And what role are you playing?” she fired back fiercely. I stared directly at her. “Protecting you.” “I don’t need protection, Marco!” Her voice echoed sharply through the hallway. “Renz is walking into an end-game situation with Malachi!” Pain flashed across her face. “He needs every help he can get!” I clenched my jaw. “Nyx, you know Renz hates being disobeyed.” She laughed bitterly. “Yes. I do.” Her eyes glistened again. “But what if he never returns for us to talk about what he hates?” Silence settled between us after that. I hated that sentence. Hated it badly. “You’re scared,” I told her “That’s all.” Then calmer...“Nothing will happen to him.” Nyx sh

  • THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS    Promises are made so—

    Marco’s Pov The sound of the cars faded slowly outside the compound. Then silence followed. I stood beside Nyx near the entrance, watching the gate long after Renz and the others disappeared from sight...and somehow, the heaviness in my chest only got worse. Nyx didn’t move. She didn’t blink much either. Her eyes stayed fixed ahead like she could still see his car. And honestly... That alone told me Renz was right. Nyx definitely had a plan. I studied her quietly for a second before stepping closer. “He’ll bring them back,” I managed to say. The words tasted bitter in my mouth because even I wasn’t fully convinced...Not with Malachi involved...Not after what he did yesterday... Nyx gave no response. Said nothing...She just kept staring ahead quietly. I cleared my throat softly. “Renz asked me to keep you safe until he returns.” She said nothing still... Damn. I sighed internally and continued anyway. “You should go rest for a while. We’ll handle things out here.” I tol

  • THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS   On the highway to Hell

    Morning came quietly. The house looked calm on the outside, but underneath it, tension crawled through every wall like poison. Men walked around with loaded guns. Footsteps echoed through the halls every now and then. Everyone was preparing for something ugly. And I hated the atmosphere. I stood upstairs near the hallway corner, hidden behind the wall while voices drifted from the bar downstairs. Renz. Marco. I knew I shouldn’t be listening. But honestly, how was I supposed to stay still while the man I loved planned to return straight into that pit again? My fingers tightened around the edge of the wall as I listened carefully. Renz’s voice came first. Calmly. “Bianca and the others confirmed the location,” he said. “The place Malachi sent wasn’t fake. That’s where they’re keeping them.” My chest tightened instantly. Camila. Rynna. Marco leaned against the counter quietly before answering, “I figured as much.” Renz nodded once. “There are five possib
