🌹 Author’s Thank You 🌹Dear Beloved Readers,From the very first chapter to this very last moment, you have been my companions on this journey,through every cliffhanger, every heartbreak, every blood-soaked battle, and every tender whisper of love. When I first began writing The Devil’s Handmaiden, I never imagined the kind of bond it would create between myself and all of you. What started as just words on a page grew into a world alive with fire and shadows, because you believed in it, and because you believed in me.To those who have been with me since Chapter One, you are the soul of this story. You were the ones who took Aurora’s trembling hand when she was still weak, who stood behind her when the world called her broken, and who cheered when she finally rose as The Devil’s Handmaiden. Your loyalty has been unshakable, and I cannot express how deeply I cherish you.To those who joined along the way, whether at Chapter Ten, or Fifty, or even closer to the end you became part of
Chapter 125The Devil's Handmaiden(Aurora’s POV)Weeks had bled into one another, a blur of nights and whispers, of gunpowder and signatures on papers that once belonged to my father.And now, here I sat, like a queen who is ready to conquer the mafia world. At the head of his empire, the Valeryk bloodline. The chair beneath me wasn’t just furniture, it was a throne carved from blood, debt, and power. My father’s study had been cleared of his personal clutter, the air heavy with cigar smoke and ink, but his shadow lingered in every corner of his study room. The men gathered around me, the same men who once doubted me, the same men who watched Tiffany and Alex play games with my life, now bent their heads with a mixture of fear and respect towards me.Dominique stood to my right, ever unshaken, his hand resting on the table like a silent declaration that no one would dare move against me while he lived. His devotion was a weight and a shield, one I both leaned on and feared with pa
Chapter 124 Aftermath(Aurora’s POV)The silence after battle is never silent.It hums.It vibrates in the bones like a phantom echo, the memory of gunfire, the ringing of screams, the pounding of boots. Even when it’s gone, it lingers, scratching at the back of your skull like nails on glass, so irritating. I stood there in the broken courtyard of the abandoned estate, the moon watching me like a cruel witness, its pale light pooling over shattered stone and smeared blood. My chest rose and fell in sharp bursts, but my lungs refused to fill. The dagger still trembled in my hand, slick with blood, her blood in my hands. Tiffany lay sprawled across the cracked marble floor, eyes frozen wide, lips parted in an expression of disbelief that still mocked me even in death. The woman who had poisoned my life, who had hunted my soul like a predator circling prey, was gone. And yet… I didn’t feel lighter.I felt heaveir, like there was a cross placed on my shoulders. Her men circled her b
Chapter 123 The Price of RevengeAurora’s POVThe dagger hovered, its edge gleaming red in the blood moonlight. My arm trembled, though not from weakness, it can never again be weakness, but from the sheer weight of the moment. My enemy was here, at my mercy. Tiffany’s chest rose and fell in frantic rhythm, her eyes wide, yet even cornered she wore her mask of mockery,.like I wouldn't kill her l. Like my actions were just a facade. I wanted to drive the blade home. I wanted to end her, to silence her poison forever. My breath came hard, my heartbeat deafening, drowning out everything else.“Aurora.”Dominique’s voice cut through the night. He stepped forward, his tone a dark command. “Do it. What are you waiting for?. End her. She’ll haunt us until she’s nothing but ash in the ground.”His words wrapped around me like fire, urging, demanding. He was right, wasn’t he? Tiffany deserved nothing less than the edge of my blade.But then, before I lunged at Tiffany. “Stop!”Damian’s vo
Chapter 122 Blood Moon Showdown(Aurora’s POV)The night was alive with silence. The kind of silence that eats you up without you when knowing. The estate loomed ahead like a ghost from another century,its walls broken, its windows shattered, ivy crawling over stone like veins feeding a corpse. The moon hung blood-red in the sky, casting the ruins in a glow that felt more omen than light. It was as if the heavens themselves had dressed the night for slaughter and chaos. I stepped out from the car, the crunching sound of the gravel beneath my boots echoing too loudly in the quiet empty night. My hands trembled, not from fear, but from anticipation, deep down I felt the sharp, gut-deep craving for closure of anything that concerns Tiffany.I end it all tonight…Beside me, Dominique’s presence was like iron, steady, unshakable, even though I felt the weight of his eyes every time he looked at me. He knew I wasn’t the same woman he had once pulled into his arms. Something darker lived
Chapter 121 Tiffany’s GambitTiffany’s POVAs they say Fear is a great weapon which can be used by you or against you. It lingered like smoke in my chest ever since that night. No matter how many times I told myself I wasn’t afraid, no matter how much venom I spat at Alex when he tried to soothe me, it clung to me like a shadow I couldn’t shake, no matter how hard I tried. James Blackwood’s blood was still on my conscience, it was like a part of me that never left my mind. He hadn’t been meant to die. It was supposed to be Aurora. Her. Always her. Yet, at the last moment, that pitiful old man had thrown himself in front of the bullet, taking the death I had planned. His eyes had burned into mine as he fell, as if daring me to carry that guilt forever without letting it slide. And I hated him for it.But worse than that, I hated her. Aurora. Because somehow, even in her grief, even as she bled sorrow, she had turned tragedy into strength. She had turned her pain into power, I hea
