Velvet and vengeance: stripped by the enemy CHAPTER 183
"First Death" Third Person's POV Presently, the world thought of Dimitri as a dead man that could possibly be walking the earth again. Before that, he was a figure that exuded dominance, respect and fear. But before he got to that point, he was just a boy. One with wide eyes and a smile equally as bright, one that looked at the world with wonder, curiosity and a hope for more. Eventually though, his eyes were closed. There was a day, one he would never forget. Dimitri's heart kept eating, but he died that day. His father had called for his presence. Young Dimitri was already quite weary of his father, but that fear would soon turned to deep loathing. The older man looked at him with an expression he couldn't quite read, but he hated it."Young Sir," A guard called out to Dimitri who was just sitting in the library, trying to read. "The master calls for you." He said, not meeting Dimitri's eyes. Djmutri stared for s moment before closing the book with a sigh. He walked over to the

"A Broken Oath"Jace's POV The media was a weird thing. One minute you could be laughing at a funny animal video and the next your jaw is on the floor as you watch a video of your old friend rising from the dead. "This is clearly fake, right?" I was sure about it. It had to be a fake. Another ruse to rile up the crowd and keep that distracted from the force's actual plan. I shook my head at the absurdity and desperation. But back to the actual happenings. I was still trying to find the supposed "heir" but I'd run into more than just a little obstacle. It was a wall of familiar codes that made me click my tongue at first sight. Everything concerning that dead man left a bitter taste at the back of my tongue. I tried to crack the code, and for a while, it seemed like I was making progress, until I went back to look at my progress and noticed every code I had cracked had been rewritten. Every single line that once made me look at someone with admiration now left me angry. Weren't th

“Silent Rescue”Dimitri’s POVI was crouched against a soot-stained ledge. I looked undisguisable from the stone statues that littered the roof, just as I had wanted. I tried my best not to breathe too hard. The fact I had woke up was phenomenal enough. I was slowly getting used to the mechanical rhythm of cold air going in and out of my lungs. It was truly good to be back. Several feet ahead of me was the fortress Maraleona had built for herself. I could tell just how hard she had worked just by looking at it. It was a testament to her ambition and desperation. The perimeter was guarded by men in tactical gear, professional and alert, but they were looking for threats they understood. They were looking for soldiers. They weren't looking for a ghost. And they certainly weren't looking for what was currently scaling up the western wall.I squinted my eyes at the movement. It was faint, especially against the dark o the night. Something moved with a terrifying, fluid grace. They bypas

“Random Tuesday”Maraleona’s POV Thinking back to my father and Dimitri, I thought back to that time. Dimitri’s father had wanted to arrange a marriage that would strengthen their political stand. Dimitri was having none of that. He trashed around, blatantly refused and acted in ways his father could not ignore. The old man was just about to toss the idea into the trash when my own, beloved, father brought up the idea. Me. I would marry Dimitri. At the time, my family name was one to reckon with. We once stood toe to toe with the Bianchi house, exchanging pleasantries, something low level families couldn’t even dream of. But then, my father fell to illness. As he succumbed to the ground, as did our family reputation. The marriage was called off. Dimitri’s father tried his best to look apologetic as I stood before him, still in mourning black, but I could tell it was rehearsed. I was enraged. Whether from his words or my father’s death, I couldn’t exactly pin point it. My hand gr

“Reinforcement” Third Person’s POVJace and Lucian made their way back to base. Of course, the messages were just a farse, but just to be sure, they needed to make sure Dimitri’s child was actually where he was supposed to be. “Do you think Maraleona’s behind this?” Jace asked as they walked down the hallway. Lucian hummed in thought. The possibility was there, but would she be willing to do something like that? No one knew of Dimitri’s child, but now the world had a strong suspicion and a reason for worry. “It’s possible.” He said with a tired sigh. He brough a hand up to brush hair away from his face and just sighed. “We can’t forget the possibility of another enemy just needing leverage.” He spoke calmly. The pair had reached the boy’s room. The front door was still guarded by two of their men, who greeted them both. Lucian responded with a nod. The door opened, and sure enough, the young boy was sat opposite Stephanie. They were both reading.“Do you remember what that careta

“Evening Buzz”Jace’s POVThe world was on a mission to rid the news of a walking dead man. The areas of hunting increased and just about everyone and their mother was looking for remains. Information kept rolling out in record time. Alleged sightings, false informants that sold nothing for outrageous amounts, and people opening searching far and wide for information that Dimitri's mother had already destroyed. If there was one thing I would admit, they were persistent. But beneath the perseverance to find what hadn't been lost, there was still fear clouding their eyes. I could tell by how they moved, the slow but gradual conversion to join the hunt, and the desperation they worked with, almost like they needed this to be true because the other option was far from favourable. We kept a healthy distance while we went through our own means to find the truth. I was sat in the study, observing the erratic movements of the mass. Slowly but surely, everyone who had shook in fear before wa
