Jace's POV

War Ignites

Duncan's blood splashed into my face and in his fading breath, I found peace.

That bagger has tormented for so long, and I couldn't believe he has been secretly working with the jerk I call a brother.

His eyes shone in fury as the blood of his companion flowed on the ground. His heart raced and his words cut through the air like a blade.

“Kill them both!”

The room erupted with madness. The boots of his men thumped against the stone staircase and hurried upstairs. The air was heavy with uncertainty and Lucian's eyes narrowed as he tossed him aside to the corner.

His head flung against the wall and blood gushed out of his skull.

My eyes met Lucian's and his eyes glowed with emptyness. He was reeling and gasping for breath. He could barely stand and in that moment, I knew it, we were doomed.

But come to think of it, did he fucking come here alone?

I grabbed him quickly and tossed him against the wall.

“What are we going to do?” The words escaped my lips with a low

  • Velvet and vengeance: stripped by the enemy    Chapter 101

    The Winter Syndicate's LetterLucian's POV “Lucian! Lucian!” Dimitri’s voice echoed like a panicked, cracking whip across the room. The heavy thumping of his footsteps along the staircase were frantic and rang sharp in my ear.I quickly tossed aside the glass in my hand, my eyes instantly scanning the room. My heart paused for a second while I reached for my gun, cocked it, and was battle-ready. The door flung open, and he ran in frantically, his face pale and covered in confusion and a single, ominous letter clutched hard in his trembling hand.I paused, studying him with a cold and calm gaze, then rose up, grabbed my cigarette, and deliberately blew the smoke into his pale face. He tossed the letter aside to me, breathing heavily, his heart racing like an engine.I stared calmly at the paper. The letters were written in an exact, archaic Old Russian code.“Fuck,” the word escaped my lips before I even knew it. My calm shattered. I turned on Dimitri, grabbing his shirt sharply, pu

  • Velvet and vengeance: stripped by the enemy    Chapter One Hundred

    Jace's POV The Crowns of RuinThe air was bustling with activities. The posh chandeliers hung up, unveiling the emergence of the new empire, the new era, the Vanguard era. My body was clothed in white fine lines silk material, with golden laces hung by the edges.My eyes glowed with victory, but the underlying anger still burned in my heart. Behind all these fancy drama was an empire built on the blood of men, women, children, innocent lives. To be honest, I don't know if I feel guilty because now, I realize I'm a hypocrite. I can't be enjoying the priviledges that come with the blood and be against the blood. But another part of me is craving for redemption. There are other ways to get what we want, it's just a matter of time and strategy, but well, the dynamics of the underworld doesn't work that way. I'm just speechless as I stare into the massive engraved walls.THE VANGUARD…That's Matteo's hand work. Look at them all dressed in fancy clothes like angels, walking around this pl

  • Velvet and vengeance: stripped by the enemy    Chapter Ninety Nine

    Iron and IceLucian’s POVIf there’s one thing I love, it’s seeing what I worked for succeed. My empire had begun to rise again. And not just rising, it was accelerating at the speed of light. My men were doing pretty well. We were reclaiming ports, trade routes, and weapons. We had it all once again.I sat in the living room, a warm smile spreading across my face as I stared at the TV, softly releasing the coiling white smoke into the air. This was the taste of victory, just calm and absolute.All of a sudden, I heard frantic thumping on the staircase. Jace appeared in a second. “Lucian!” he cried. His voice was heavy with panic. He was trembling as he shoved a video in my face.“What?” I snapped immediately. My eyes burned with instant rage. The Catalan syndicate—a stubborn remnant of the old minor families—had bombed one of my safe houses.How in God’s name did they get the location of the safe house? And who the fuck gave them the audacity, the effrontery, to go disrespect my fuc

  • Velvet and vengeance: stripped by the enemy    Chapter Ninety Eight

    The Seraphina GambitJace’s POV My eyes were fixed on the devil sitting before me. We had tracked Seraphina down after her escape and based on the desperate need for the Phantom Ledger, we offered her a new deal.Funny how she was in possession of the legendary account book of the underworld. From my little experience, strangers never cease to amaze me.I smiled at her softly, my gaze fixed and unwavering. I could see the subtle shift in her demeanor, she was somewhat uneasy. Her unease, however, was fueled by a dangerous arrogance, a cocky feeling that I knew was fueled by Lucian’s and Dimitri’s presence. Lucian was seated beside me, seething with rage. I wondered what Seraphina had done to his father—he never agreed to tell me, but the fact that he’d mentioned she was a whore told me it must have been something very bad. As for Dimitri, he was visibly trembling. For the very first time, I saw raw fear in his eyes.The atmosphere was heavy and Seraphina’s arms were folded, then he

  • Velvet and vengeance: stripped by the enemy    Chapter Ninety Seven

    The Phantom LedgerJace’s POV“Lucian!” I called. My voice was thick with rage and confusion. My feet thumped against the stairs as I ran down sharply. The chaos in the room was visceral and my eyes bled with rage. “Have you seen this?” I shoved my tablet in his face. His eyes shone in shock, and his mouth fell agape in confusion. Immediately, his heart started racing like an engine. And I knew exactly where that engine was racing to. Just as I expected, the first words that he spat out were,“Who the fuck is behind this?!”The room shook with the thunderous effects of his voice, and we all stayed calm. No one dared say a word. A mysterious document had surfaced. I found it on the dark web. They call it The Phantom Ledger. I wonder who the hell is behind this, because if I get that bitch, he’ll die in my hands! In fact, death is not a punishment, death is showing mercy... I'll show him things worse than death.The Phantom Ledger contained various hidden accounts of all the major

  • Velvet and vengeance: stripped by the enemy    Chapter Ninety Six

    Velvet ChainsJace’s POVI’ve seen nothing but devious plans. At this point, I can’t attest that this is the man I once loved. Lucian has become colder than before. All his focus is driven to anything that will push the Vanguard forward. He doesn't even care about human lives anymore. They all seem like petty animals to him, creatures he just wastes. Whoever dares stand in his way, he kills. I still can't forget the heavy massacre he carried out just a week ago. When he told me about the major progress with the minor families, I thought they were finally loyal, just as he said he would make them. But they were not. I told him before, humans are not pets or puppets they can just push around. They will eventually get tired and have a say. He just doesn't want to listen to me, and I'm exhausted. He's only growing worse. His actions and inactions are scary now. I don't even know if I can keep living with him anymore. He killed them all simply because they formed an alliance—all t
