Skyden Wolfe's POV

The warm water from the shower washed away the lingering smell of gunpowder and the dried blood that had clung to my skin. After re-bandaging the wound on my left arm with a fresh sterile bandage, I stepped out of the bathroom wearing only long pajama pants—leaving my upper body bare.

Linora was standing near the edge of the bed, having just finished drying her short hair, which had now grown long enough to touch her shoulders since the last time she'd cut it.

  • The Man Who Killed Me Wants My Hand   Chapter 83. In Vain

    Outside the grand Gothic-style villa that stood isolated in the mountainous region, the night grew colder by the minute.The thick air enveloped an unmarked operational vehicle hidden beneath a grove of trees, not far from the main gate.Inside the dimly lit car, four members of Unit Zero sat with bated breath.Noah, the youngest member of the team, was intently focused on his laptop screen. His fingers danced nimbly across the keyboard, bypassing security protocols and successfully hacking into the villa's internal CCTV network."I've managed to get into their surveillance system," Noah muttered without taking his eyes off the screen for a moment. "But there's a problem… the main room on the second floor, where their leader is, isn't equipped with any surveillance cameras at all. A total blind spot."Elliot, sitting in the front passenger seat, rubbed his tense face. He leaned back, gazing at the villa, which looked both majestic and menacing from a distance."Do you guys really beli

    Skyden Wolfe's POVThe warm water from the shower washed away the lingering smell of gunpowder and the dried blood that had clung to my skin. After re-bandaging the wound on my left arm with a fresh sterile bandage, I stepped out of the bathroom wearing only long pajama pants—leaving my upper body bare.Linora was standing near the edge of the bed, having just finished drying her short hair, which had now grown long enough to touch her shoulders since the last time she'd cut it.As I approached, her fingers, which were holding a towel, suddenly froze. Her eyes were fixed straight on my left upper arm, now wrapped in a thick bandage."Your wound looks worse…" Linora murmured softly. Her voice sounded stiff. "You were shot in the shoulder once before when you pulled me out of the line of fire."Of course I remember—back then, we got caught in a firefight on the roof of the Sector 2 building. At that time, I was shot in the shoulder while shielding Linora."You were grimacing in pain bac

  • The Man Who Killed Me Wants My Hand   Chapter 81. The Proof

    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
