Chapter Twenty One

Lucien Thorne

~•~

I still remember how my heart dropped when I thought Halle ran away. It made me realize that I needed to act fast if I wanted my revenge.

Time wasn’t on my side anymore.

It had been almost a month since I found her, and I was certain that her family would be searching for her. I had no idea why she didn’t want to go back to them — or why she even lied about her identity.

But I saw it as a perfect opportunity to execute my plans.

I couldn’t wait to see the look on her father’s face when he finally realized that I had been with his daughter all this time.

The thought of betraying Halle made me feel a little bit guilty, but her father had to pay for his sins. I pretended like I liked her but she had no idea she was just a pawn in my game.

“Lucien.” Halle’s voice broke the silence in the car.

I couldn’t tell her the truth about where we were going when she asked me. I couldn’t even properly look her in the eyes.

Why was I feeling guilty?

    Chapter 41Lucien Thorne~•~I knew Wilder was planning on killing his daughter, but I was still surprised to see that he was actually going through with his plan. Why did he hate her so much? Halle didn’t even look like someone who caused him much trouble. I just couldn’t understand why he would go to great lengths to see her gone. I felt satisfied as I punched him and watched it fall to the ground. I had to take a step back because if I couldn’t control myself, I would have sent him to his maker. I wanted to see Wilder gone. He had committed so many atrocities, but I didn’t want him to go out so easily. I wanted him to suffer first. And shooting him in the leg was the first step. Even as helpless as he looked, he still had a smug look on his face. How couldn’t Halle see right through him all this while? “Do you think this changes anything? You’re just putting yourself in danger.” He said through gritted teeth. “As for Chloe, I’m going to find a way to end her life. One way or

    Chapter 40Halle Wilder~•~“Why do you want me dead? Is it because I don’t have a wolf?” I asked, my throat tightening and eyes burning with unshed tears. He didn’t hesitate before he responded. “I guess you’ll never know.” He reached into his jacket and pulled out a gun. My eyes grew wide in shock. So he really wanted to kill me. I didn’t even know if I should beg for my life or not. From the look in his eyes, I knew that his mind was already made up. What was even the point of staying in a world where nobody wanted me? I was constantly being betrayed by my family. Maybe it was best for him to kill me. I didn’t have anything to live for anymore. “That’s the least you can do right now.” I breathed, looking up at him. “Just tell me the reason…..why do you hate me so much?” He didn’t say anything, he just lifted the gun and pointed it at my head. I wiped off a lone tear that travelled down my face. “Why did you pretend to love me all those years? Why did you tolerate me for s

    Chapter 39Lucien Thorne~•~“You literally told me you wouldn’t contact me again less than fifteen minutes ago.” He groaned as he answered the phone. I exhaled sharply. “I’m sorry, but I need one last thing.” “What is that?” “How’s the security like in the house? Do they have cameras? Do you think I can take down every one of them?” I asked, rubbing my temple. “There should be a total of five guys in the house. He doesn’t really have security in the house.” He replied, his voice low. “But please, stop calling me. I don’t want him to find out that I’ve been feeding you with information.” “I’ll try not to call you,” I replied. “But if they aren’t in the house, where else do you think he’ll take her?” I asked, hoping he would know. He was silent for a while. “I honestly have no idea.” Before I could even say anything else, the line disconnected. “Fuck!” I cursed through gritted teeth. I was already parked in front of Halle’s house. But I couldn’t just go inside because I didn’

    Chapter 38Halle Wilder ~•~When I finally gained consciousness, I found myself in an unfamiliar room. I stood up from the cold ground and tried my best to walk to the door. I felt weak but I banged aggressively on the door with all the strength I could muster. The sound echoed in silence but no one came. Where was I? The last thing I remembered was confronting my father about my bag. Then someone closed my nose with something weird and I passed out. My father didn’t even try to help me or anything. He just let them take me away. Or did they take him too? I rolled my eyes. That was bullshit. They didn’t take my father. Rather, he was the one who orchestrated everything. He only did it because I caught his lie and he didn’t want me to find out the truth. I scoffed as I started connecting the dots. My father already knew about the border incident but he continuously lied to me. Was he feeling guilty because he didn’t try to find me? ‘You know damn well that’s not the case.’ A s

    Chapter 37Lucien Thorne ~•~After trying Halle’s number multiple times, she didn’t answer. I decided to leave her a text. Who knows what they might have done after finding out that someone bugged the office? I went over to the car and retrieved my burner phone. He answered the call on the first ring. “They know that someone bugged the office. And he’s willing to kill whoever the person is.” I said, panic creeping into my voice. “I hope that you are good.” “Sure.” He responded without hesitation. “No one can link it back to me. Don’t contact me again. Ever.” I let out a soft chuckle. “I won’t.” “That was what you said the last time. I hope you are for real this time around.” He replied, letting out a low grunt. “Don’t forget to send me my payment.” “I’ll send it.” With that, the call ended. I retrieved my actual phone and checked to see if Halle had returned my calls or texts. Anyone. But there was no notification from her. What the fuck was she doing? Or did they already

    Chapter 36Halle Wilder ~•~Their voices were muffled, so I couldn’t even hear what they were saying. I had no idea who was inside the office, but I figured it was my father and someone else.I didn’t have time to wait, so I just decided to open the door. But just as I was about to twist the doorknob, the door creaked open. I jerked backwards, taken aback by the sudden opening of the door. After I straightened my head, I saw it was my father and his friend, Parker. Their eyes widened in surprise as they saw me, like they weren’t expecting to see me at the door. My father exhaled sharply. “What are you doing here? Aren’t you meant to be resting?” He asked, trying so hard to mask the shock in his voice. “I was looking for you,” I said, my voice clipped. He signaled Parker to leave and asked me to walk with him. “What….. do you need anything?” He asked, his breathing uneven. I shrugged my shoulders and stopped in my tracks. “I just have a question for you,” I replied, bracing mys
