Skyden Wolfe's POV

The elevator numbers kept counting down, its soft hum cutting through the silence.

Gideon, standing next to me, pulled the slide of his gun back, making sure the round was locked in place before holstering it at his waist.

To the outside world, this middle-aged man was the Head of Security for Echelon Nine, but within this circle, he was The Raven's chief executioner.

"Watch your manners down there, kid," Gideon said gravely without turning to look at me. "Mr. Alaric doesn't

    Skyden Wolfe's POVThe elevator numbers kept counting down, its soft hum cutting through the silence.Gideon, standing next to me, pulled the slide of his gun back, making sure the round was locked in place before holstering it at his waist.To the outside world, this middle-aged man was the Head of Security for Echelon Nine, but within this circle, he was The Raven's chief executioner."Watch your manners down there, kid," Gideon said gravely without turning to look at me. "Mr. Alaric doesn't like people who talk too much.""I know," I replied briefly and flatly.Ding.The elevator doors slid open as soon as we reached the lowest floor. There was one floor below that, but no one could enter without permission.I'd been there twice—once in my previous life and once when Alaric invited me because he liked my work.Before the elevator doors closed, we stepped into the dimly lit main command room.This underground command room was completely isolated from the luxury above, where The Rave

  • The Man Who Killed Me Wants My Hand   Chapter 80. Haunting Shadows

    Linora Vance's POVThe screen of the phone on my lap dimmed for the tenth time in the last hour.Behind the app interface I'd hidden in an encrypted folder, that little green dot was still blinking slowly. It was the GPS tracker on Skyden's phone that Noah had set up at my request—access I should have deleted long ago but forgot to do so. I didn't know I'd end up using this again.The places Skyden was visiting were lawless; I didn't know what he was doing there, but I definitely had a bad feeling about it.Especially after waking up from that nightmare in the apartment earlier this morning—a harrowing dream where our identities were exposed on the dark web, I was cornered, and Alaric Crowe plunged his knife into Skyden's blood-soaked neck—that uneasy feeling has been gnawing at my chest.My death date on this timeline has indeed passed without incident, but that's precisely what's making me even more paranoid. What about Skyden? Has the countdown to his death only just begun?My fing

  • The Man Who Killed Me Wants My Hand   Chapter 79. An Awkward Situation

    Luna Spencer's POVI chewed my bubblegum until it popped loudly. Pop!Not bad—this artificial sweetness helps mask the bitter aftertaste lingering on my tongue.I reached into my pants pocket and pulled out a small plastic jar filled with pink candies that Noah had given me during our last meeting.Only four left.They say the fastest way to heal and move on from an ex is to just get on with your life without any drama. But the problem is, I've been busy counting these remaining candies every day like someone in desperate need of entertainment.It's ridiculous, honestly. But what else can I do? Everyone's coping mechanisms are different, after all.I stared at the expanse of sand in front of me. I didn't know where Stilliam had gone—he'd just suddenly vanished. But I wasn't worried.I was just about to pop the fifth piece of candy into my mouth when a tall shadow suddenly blocked the sunlight above my head."Moonlight?"That deep voice instantly froze my fingers over the candy jar. Ou

  • The Man Who Killed Me Wants My Hand   Chapter 78. Step One, Bug One

    Bentley Liu's POVThe nonsense Simon spouted that day really made me sick.It was so sweet when he said he liked me just the way I am. Bullshit! As soon as he found out the truth about me, the insults and looks of disgust came pouring out.Weird. Why does this feeling bother me? From the very beginning, I was just using him. Damn it, I actually got carried away. Is this karma for forgetting my goal of getting revenge?But I don't think Mrs. Elena would approve if I sought revenge on her behalf. The matriarch is just too… kind.Of course, I was the one who decided to break up with him and walk out of his life.The resentment is still there, of course. True… this isn't any kind of feeling, just annoyance at being deceived by his sweet words.But whatever. I have my own luxury apartment, house, and hilltop villa—why should I mourn over some ex-jerk?Well… even though deep down, I did it so he wouldn't have to deal with Mr. Darius. Even though he's a jerk… I got a lot from Simon. Even if

  • The Man Who Killed Me Wants My Hand   Chapter 77. It's Not Over Yet

    Linora Vance's POVThe cell phone on the nightstand vibrated violently. The screen lit up, displaying Noah's name.I snatched up the slim device and tapped the green button without wasting a second. "What's going on?""Linora, check your phone right now! Go to the dark web site!" Noah's voice on the other end of the line sounded panicked and frantic. "Your identity's been exposed! Someone leaked that you're a cop, and… and… I don't know if this is true or not, but they're saying Skyden is Black Lotus's top agent! That's a lie, right?! It can't be! Skyden's a cop just like us…"I didn't hear the rest of what Noah said; my ears were ringing and my heart was pounding.No way. Who knows our identities? Not even Luna knows that Skyden is part of Black Lotus.Wait… I have to stay calm.Even so, my trembling fingers moved quickly to open the black market's encrypted channel.Instantly, my eyes froze as I stared at the screen.Photos of me and Skyden were clearly displayed on the homepage.

  • The Man Who Killed Me Wants My Hand   Chapter 76. Two Dazed People

    "If you don't plan on eating it, why are you still staring at it? Just give it to me." Stilliam reached out for the pack of pink candy on the glass table, but Luna moved quickly to pull it into her arms."It's up to me."Stilliam snorted. He turned and walked toward the kitchen, loosening his tie, which felt like it was choking him after his futile fight with Bentley in the parking lot earlier.Luna watched her brother's every move. With a calm expression, she tore open the plastic wrapper, popped a chewy piece of candy into her mouth, then followed Stilliam as he opened the refrigerator door.He seemed different this morning—distracted, curt, and his emotions were clearly all over the place."What's wrong with you?" Luna asked in a flat tone as she leaned against the kitchen counter. "You look strange. Did you just get dumped?" Luna was just speaking off the cuff; she hadn't reflected on her own misfortune.Stilliam stood motionless in front of the open refrigerator door. "It'd be be
