Chapter 115 – Blood for Blood

last update Terakhir Diperbarui: 2025-06-01 13:22:34

The morning after the ambush, the penthouse was a fortress.

Armed guards lined the hallways. Surveillance feeds played across six monitors in Valerio’s war room. Matteo stood at the center, issuing orders rapid-fire into his phone, while Bruna ran background checks on every known affiliate of Lucrezia Thorne.

Sera sat in front of a map of Eros City, red pins marking the known smuggling routes, blue for intercepted trades, and a single black one—Lucrezia’s last known location.

She stared at it, jaw tight, fingers curled around the edge of the table.

“You know what she’s doing,” Valerio said from behind her.

“She’s not running,” Sera replied. “She’s luring. That girl we rescued… she wasn’t the only bait.”

“No,” Valerio agreed. “But she’s done hiding. The moment she left that girl behind, she made a mistake.”

“She underestimated me,” Sera said coldly. “She still sees me as weak.”

Valerio moved beside her, his presence grounding. “Then let’s prove her wrong.”

He reached for the screen and

  • Velvet Chains   Chapter 118 – Vows in Blood and Fire

    The morning light pierced the Vault’s reinforced glass ceiling, filtering through in broken slats like judgment from above. But inside, there was only silence.Sera stood alone in the strategy room, her fingers grazing the surface of the war table. The maps had been cleared, the files locked away. Yet the weight of what had happened at Echelon still clung to the air like ash.The poison had nearly claimed her.Lucrezia had nearly won.And Valerio... he’d never left her side.Not when she convulsed. Not when her pulse slowed. Not even when Bruna had screamed that they might be too late.Now, every breath Sera took was a rebellion.A vow.She would finish this.Not just for herself.But for every soul Lucrezia had manipulated, ruined, or slaughtered in her twisted pursuit of power.The door opened behind her, soft footsteps interrupting her reverie.Valerio.He said nothing as he approached—just stood beside her, his presence grounding her like gravity.“How do you feel?” he asked quiet

  • Velvet Chains   Chapter 117 – Queen of Ashes

    The map spread across the war table glowed under the Vault’s fluorescent lights, detailing every known location Lucrezia controlled—directly or by proxy. Dozens of red pins stabbed across the city, marking illicit casinos, shipping yards, tech houses, and a cluster of luxury properties registered under aliases.“She’s not hiding,” Sera said, eyes fixed on the map. “She’s daring us.”Valerio stood behind her, arms crossed. “She wants us to go after the wrong thing. Every move she’s made recently—Zan, the heist, the garage attack—it’s sleight of hand. A magician’s misdirection.”“She’s trying to keep us busy,” Bruna muttered, typing furiously on a tablet. “While the real attack lines up.”Sera narrowed her eyes on a single pin. The Ritzmore District. Old money. Private parties. A black-tie casino club known as Echelon.“She’s hosting something there tomorrow night,” Sera said. “Bruna intercepted an encrypted invite, routed through offshore servers. Limited access, digital fingerprint re

  • Velvet Chains   Chapter 116 – The Devil’s Whisper

    The takedown of Anya Romanov sent a ripple through the city’s underworld. Within twenty-four hours, two of Lucrezia’s minor allies backed out of their dealings. One fled the country. Another went silent. The press didn’t touch the footage—too dangerous, too damning—but on the encrypted forums of arms dealers and syndicate leaders, the video of Sera standing over Anya with a smoking gun had gone viral.And Lucrezia?She hadn’t spoken.She hadn’t moved.And that terrified Valerio more than anything.“She’s waiting,” Sera said, seated beside him at the Vault’s private briefing table. “She doesn’t strike in anger. She calculates. The quieter she gets, the bloodier her retaliation will be.”Valerio didn’t disagree.He sat back, rubbing his temple while Bruna updated the team.“The intel chatter has gone dark,” Bruna said. “Which means she’s rerouting everything. Our informants are frozen out. Lucrezia’s no longer just reacting. She’s preparing.”Matteo joined in. “We’ve got rumors she’s se

  • Velvet Chains   Chapter 114 – A Queen’s Blood, A King’s War

    The darkness didn’t scare Sera anymore.Not the shadows that clung to the corners of the penthouse, not the silence of the hallways, and certainly not the monsters who prowled beneath the glimmering surface of Eros City.She’d tasted the worst kind of pain.And she’d survived.No, what scared her now wasn’t the war—it was how ready she felt for it.At 3:47 a.m., she sat at Valerio’s desk, the glow of the computer screen casting harsh light across her face. The file they’d received—Project Orias—had led her into a rabbit hole of horrors. Names. Faces. Girls her age, some even younger. Shipments disguised as “imports.” Wealthy buyers with encrypted aliases.And it was all tied back to one woman.Lucrezia Thorne.But this wasn’t just about revenge anymore.It was about justice.About ending what others hadn’t had the courage to finish.Behind her, Valerio’s footsteps approached, bare and quiet across the marble floor. He was shirtless, a pair of loose black sweatpants hanging low on his

  • Velvet Chains   Chapter 113 – The Calm Bleeds First

    The penthouse no longer smelled like blood.That alone should’ve comforted Sera, but it didn’t.Instead, the silence left room for something else—doubt, questions, and an eerie sense of waiting. Like the city held its breath.Valerio had barely left her side in the three days since Lucrezia’s capture. The world outside continued shifting like tectonic plates. Allies whispered in backrooms. Enemies regrouped in shadows.And Sera?She was learning how to be powerful.Not because of Valerio.But beside him.At 9:00 a.m., she stood in front of a sleek black wardrobe in one of the guest bedrooms—now her official dressing room. Her fingers trailed over the fabric of a fitted navy-blue pantsuit. It wasn’t her usual style. No silk, no flowing lines.This was steel.Tailored.Untouchable.She slipped it on and pulled her hair back into a high, tight ponytail. The woman who stared back in the mirror wasn’t just someone who survived hell.She was someone who would rule the aftermath.When she st
