2025-04-29 17:03:48Now what was he playing at?
I turned slowly to look at him, my anger burning hotter.
He shook his head, appearing conflicted with what he was about to say.
"I only wanted to rile you up, Jaris. I wanted to get back at you for what you did with Chloe. Fuck, I never thought I'd actually be doing this—trying to speak on her behalf. But unlike you, I've got a heart, and I just realized she's a good girl and doesn't deserve this. She doesn't even know what happened that night."
"If you're saying something, you speak fast, Zarek." My words dripped with impatience. I was losing it. But it was majorly because he was making me curious.
"I tried to get her the normal way, but she didn't fall for it. She wouldn't even talk to me. So, I lured her to the garden where her drink was poisoned. It gave her illusions. She was supposed to see the face of the man she truly craved after t

JARIS I went closer, sat on the edge of the bed and brought my hand to her hair, gently removing some strands from her face.It was hard to stare at her as all I could see was her in pain. Her tortured cry was very much clear in my head; how she bagged the asshole to stop hurting her.Oh, Lyric. I always thought my kids were my weaknesses. I thought they'd be the only ones to make me lose my mind at the prospect of them being hurt.But Lyric...she did stranger things to me. Only the gods knew how much I fought to hold onto sanity when I heard her screaming.Pulling myself away, I went into the bathroom for a cold shower.I was buttoning up the final clasp on my pajamas when I heard a small exhale behind me. I turned with the speed of a whirlwind and felt a crushing relief when I found Lyric's eyes open."Hey," I went to her. "How's it? How're you feeling?"She remained still, her eyes taking the room in. They took longer to get to me, but when they finally did, the relief in t

MARTA"What do you mean you can't find the body?" She hissed over the phone, her grip tight around it."I'm sorry, ma'am. We shot her, but she was on the bridge and fell over." The man replied."And tell me, how stupid can you be? Huh? How do you shoot someone and just let her fall into a body of water?"The man was silent.Marta fisted her hand in her hair as she paced her room. She was losing her mind. Why couldn't she get one thing right? Just one?"You need to find her," she stopped in front of the window. "I don't care if you think she's dead. I need to see her body.""We already have people underwater looking for her, ma'am. I'm sure we'll find her soon.""You better. Otherwise, be rest assured you're not getting your balance."She ended the call with a curse.She already had enough to worry about and couldn't begin to worry about Penelope's missing body.At least the woman was gone for good. But she wouldn't really be at peace until her body was found.She was about turni

LYRICI passed out and couldn't even tell for how long. All I knew was, after the call with Jaris, Caden still beat me some more, just for the sake of it. It became too much to handle that I passed out. I didn't even know how he managed to bring me awake just now, but I sure didn't want to stay conscious. It made me aware of the pains and the fact that I was between life and death. "Feeling better?" Caden asked with a smirk, his face in mine. My stomach churned at the sight of him. Gods, I hated this man. He was a monster who deserved to rot in hell.Right now, however, I was at his mercy. I wanted to beg him some more to let me go, but my mouth wouldn't open. My eyes could barely stay open either. The pain was unbearable. "Don't worry, we're done here. One of my people will take you to the drop off location."I was so relieved I wanted to cry. This...this was over? I wasn't going to die?"But you wouldn't mind delivering a message to Jaris, would you?" His finger came t

LYRIC I tried to protest and only then did I realize my tongue had gotten too weak to move.He brought the phone behind me and lifted my finger to the fingerprint sensor, unlocking it.I watched helplessly as he scrolled through the phone."Hm. A. Jaris, with a love emoji," he pronounced Jaris' name the way I saved it. "Is he aware you saved his name with a love emoji?""Don't..." I tried to tell him, but I wasn't even sure he could hear me, my voice being too weak.He wore a smug smile as he went ahead with the call.****††**** JARISI had a long stressful meeting with the Elders. They were very worried about Caden and wanted to know how to deal with him.I told them to leave him to me. If there was someone Caden wanted revenge against, it was me. All the attacks him and the Feeders have been doing lately was an act to get my attention. I knew it.By the time we finished the meeting, it was too late to fly back to Darkspire. Moreover, I was exhausted and just wanted some s

LYRIC"Please! Please, just stop."I couldn't take anymore. I had been cut all over. The pain was excruciating.He lowered his bloody knuckles, and I wanted to puke knowing it was my blood."Why are you doing this?" I sobbed. "How can you... How can you do this to someone?"His mouth formed a sarcastic smile. "No hard feelings, love. I'm merely trying to mark you." His claw came to my throat again, cutting a fresh line across it. "I need my brother to see the proof that you and I were together."I I could hardly make out his voice amidst the shrill scream that escaped me.Long after he released my throat, I continued wailing. It hurt. All over. I was afraid I would die soon if he kept up with this.The monster kept staring at me, waiting patiently for me to stop screaming."Initially, I'd been conflicted between taking you or the kids," he spoke again when I stopped screaming.My wet eyes rounded in disbelief. "But then, I decided it'd be more fun having you around."This guy wa

PLEASE NOTE!!! THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS PHYSICAL ABUSE. LYRIC "You've been out for a long time," he tilted his head to the side. "I want to believe your memory is still intact?"An intense, biting acidity flooded my mouth, making me wince with its harshness. He didn't recognize me. Back then, when his eyes opened, he'd only seen the ugly girl.I shivered at my situation. I was sure those men behind him were Feeders. But what was he doing with them? And why did they give him so much respect like he was their leader or something?"Over here, Lyric," he spoke again. He and Jaris had almost the same voice. The silver eyes were the same—even Maddy had it."When I ask a question, you're meant to answer." He took his hand to my throat, and I winced when he cut me with his claw to prove his point."Please," I whimpered, attempting to pull my neck away."I told you to give me answers." His claw was out of my neck already, but his hand was still close enough to make me fear he would cut me
