NATHANIEL POV

The urgent knocking at the door snapped my attention away. I slid off the bed and lazily walked toward the door. Mother was already standing in the doorway, her face pale and clearly panicked. She rushed into the room, trying to steady her breath. What was going on?

“This is bad, Nathaniel! This is very bad!” she hissed as she paced back and forth.

“What’s so bad?” I sat on the edge of the bed, watching her strange behavior. “Can you sit down, Mother? You’re confusing me.”

She stopped and turned to me. Her pale face had started to flush with anger. When she switched emotions like this, it was honestly terrifying. She suddenly grabbed both my shoulders.

“Alistair is a damn bastard!” she snapped, gripping me tightly.

“He was your choice, Mother.”

“Can I have a serious conversation with you or not?” She let go of me and sat down beside me.

I didn’t answer, just stayed quiet. Arguing with Mother would only waste my time. Mother always had to get her way, even if it meant hur

  • Tied to the Ruthless Three   132. Our Last Night

    The car stopped at the hotel entrance, and a security guard opened the door for me. Suddenly, Dimitri wrapped his arm around my shoulder without warning. I shot him a confused look, brows furrowing—was this part of the plan?I found it strange that Alexei would be staying in a luxurious hotel like this so openly. Nightshade would catch him immediately.“You’re not playing with me, right?” I asked Dimitri as he casually walked past the front desk.He didn’t answer. He pressed the elevator button and stood there, as if nothing were wrong, still keeping his arm around me, which made me uncomfortable. I wanted to shrug him off, but there were guests around us waiting to go up as well.We stepped into the elevator, and Dimitri swiped a card before pressing the button for the top floor. The suite.Oh dear, did I make the right decision?The moment we reached the top floor, Dimitri finally let go. He walked toward the farthest door, tapped the card again until it beeped, and the door unlocke

  • Tied to the Ruthless Three   131. My Heart's Treason

    I walked into the mansion with an unsteady feeling, still saying nothing to Isolde, who was walking beside me. Katerina’s offer felt like a double-edged sword—one that, if I refused, might end up stabbing me in the chest. Was there truly no other option that could give me a peaceful, quiet life?Should I go with Alexei? Leave everything behind, disappear, and let the Lancroft dynasty crumble, all for the sake of my own happiness?I never imagined that chasing happiness would cost so much.“Are you alright?” Isolde asked.I shook my head. “No.”“What did Katerina want from you?”“What she said at the gala.” I stopped in front of Nathaniel’s room. “She wants me to become a Nightshade division leader.”I opened the door to the room, where Gabriel was sitting at the edge of the bed. Nathaniel was still passed out, not waking up at all. The moment he saw me, Gabriel rushed over and pulled me into a hug.“I’m sorry.” Gabriel sounded full of regret. “If Nathaniel weren’t like this, I would’v

  • Tied to the Ruthless Three   130. My Father’s Grave, Their Power Game

    The rumble of a car engine approaching the mansion gate made my steps freeze. I turned toward the gate just as one of the guards came to check, while the others stayed on alert. My brows pulled together when I caught sight of the nose of a black car creeping in.“Who is that?” I asked, torn between curiosity and anxiety.“Nightshade,” the guard answered quickly. “Mrs. Katerina.”I stiffened, so did Isolde and Gabriel. With one swift tug, Gabriel dragged Nathaniel back inside the mansion. Nathaniel started thrashing and rambling, and before I could react, Isolde stepped forward and swung her fist.SMACK!!Her punch landed squarely on Nathaniel’s face, knocking him out cold. Gabriel and I stared, wide-eyed, at her impulsive move.“Hey, better than letting him blurt something dangerous, right?” Isolde said, glancing between Gabriel and me. “Now hurry, get him to his room and lock the door.”The guards quickly helped Gabriel carry Nathaniel away while I stood beside Isolde, ready to greet

  • Tied to the Ruthless Three   129. The Grief

    If time could be turned back, there are so many things I wish I could’ve said to Father. How deeply I regret the way I used to think of him—how I believed he didn’t love me, how I felt I was nothing but a disappointing daughter he never wanted.I took a slow breath, trying to hold back the tears that once again slipped down my cheeks. The pain of losing him didn’t fade with time; if anything, it grew heavier. The wound widened, leaving a hollow mark inside me.Outside, the weather was bright, and I could hear the cheerful chirping of birds—like nothing had ever happened around this mansion.Life had to go on after Father’s death, even though I didn’t know if I had the strength to continue. The person who held me up all this time was now gone.My bedroom door was gently knocked on. When I turned, Isolde was standing in the doorway. She walked in and hugged me tightly. We cried together in silence.After my sobs quieted, I loosened my embrace. Isolde wiped the tears from my cheeks.“I’m

  • Tied to the Ruthless Three   128. One Shoot, One Goodbye

    Father immediately stepped in front of me, one hand stretched out toward Evelina. She clenched her jaw, the barrel of the gun still pointed at us. Slowly, Father motioned for me to move back with his other hand.No. I didn’t want to run or hide. I wouldn’t stand by and do nothing if something happened to Father.“Put the gun down, Evelina,” Father said softly but firmly.“You bastard, Alistair! You’ve been lying to me this whole time! I thought you loved me, I thought you cared about my children and me!” Evelina let out a low, bitter laugh. “But it turns out… the only one you ever cared about was your own daughter.”“I care about Gabriel and Nathaniel,” Father replied calmly. “They’re my children too.”“You lied!!” Evelina spat.My eyes darted to Father’s hand, still motioning for me to step back. I hesitated, then slowly edged toward his desk. There was no exit from here, and hiding behind the desk wouldn’t save me.I needed to do something—anything—to distract Evelina long enough fo

  • Tied to the Ruthless Three   127. A Rescue in the Dark

    ALEXEI POVThe sound of footsteps coming down the metal stairs made me instantly alert. In this dark room, every noise was more evident, and the beam of a flashlight flickered like a firefly darting quickly along the steps. The flashlight pointed directly at me as the footsteps drew closer. I narrowed my eyes at the brightness.“Mr.Alexei?” The whisper was familiar.The flashlight shifted toward the girl standing not far from me. “It is me,” she added.“Isolde?” I could hardly believe I was looking at one of the students from Bastorin standing before me. Not just one, but two more as well: Gabriel and Nathaniel.Something surged sharply within me at the sight of them wandering around such a dangerous place. A place where they absolutely should not be. What were they thinking, taking a risk like this?“What are all of you doing here? Get out of here!” I hissed in frustration.Nathaniel’s sharp eyes showed clear annoyance, and a soft grunt escaped his lips. He moved toward me, stepping
