Lucian's Pov

The next morning, I was awakened by the rays of the sunlight on my face. I didn't get up immediately, I laid there looking at the ceiling before my hand tapped the side of the bed where Jace was supposed to be.

"Where the hell did he go?" I sat up in bed, running a hand on my face. I heard a noise coming from the bathroom, and I forced myself out of bed.

"It'll be done as soon as possible." I heard Jace say to someone in a hushed tone while he looked in the direction of the door to

  • Velvet and vengeance: stripped by the enemy    CHAPTER 203

    A VirtueThird Person's POV Patience was a virtue, and it was one Maraleona possessed. It was one of her strong suits, a skill she had honed for years on end. Years of keeping her emotions to herself, waiting on flip that came too late and training from her youth, she was sure she had it in the bag. She walked into that conference room with delicate poise that called for authority, so much that it didn't matter that she was over ten minutes later. She greeted the men with a charming smile and a curt bow that alleviated the tension in the room. "Gentlemen," She started speaking as she sat down at her assigned seat. "We meet again." The table was surrounded by powerful men. International power houses that commanded towers with a single word. They ran operations that could ruin even politicians. Their eyes followed Maraleona's every movement. That she was able to gather them all here was a testament on its own, so just how far could she go. Neither of the men said a word, but it was

    Behind The Scenes Jace's POV I could barely focus. I wanted so hard to focus, and for once, it wasn't just because I was tired of the road blocks. Images of tangled limbs, memories of hearty moans and the sweet feeling of release. I couldnt stop thinking about it all. And with the culprit standing just a mere few feet away from me, dressed like he just stepped out of one of those slutty magazines, wasn't helping my situation. "Jace." He called my name. I immediately sat up steight, hoping he hadn't noticed I hadn't been doing anything truly productive. But then again, i was sure he was in the same position. I was proven wrong when I saw his face. It held no slutty undertone or deep desire, only a brooding frown that couldn't point towards good news. I stood up, any reminant horniness in me going steiaght out of the window. My expression turned sour and I was starting to regret the tine we spent pushing whatever this was away. "What did you find out?" I asked as I stood up to meet

  • Velvet and vengeance: stripped by the enemy    CHAPTER 201

    Alone TimeJace's POV Coming here had been a joint idea. We were looking for a safe house, but this also coupled as a resort. At first, the loft had been a lovely change of scenery, a safe space of sorts. But after a little over twenty fours hours, it started feeling like a cage. I was either typing furiously or staring aimlessly, taking in the beautiful sight that was the frozen Neva river. I hummed, protein bar in hand and a flurry of thoughts bouncing in my head. I soon heard footsteps walk towards me and arms wrap around my waist. "You've been awfully touchy, huh?" I said, trying to add a little bit of a teasing tone to my voice, but I imagine it fell flat to whoever could hear, though Lucian didn't seem to mind. Instead, his grip grew tighter and he pressed his face into the crook of my neck. "Can you blame me?" He whispered then took a large breath and sunk deeper into the position. I turned around, feeling his muscles tense against my skin, only to relax when I was facing h

  • Velvet and vengeance: stripped by the enemy    CHAPTER 200

    Silent ThreatMaraleona’s POVThe air in Moscow felt especially thin that night, as thought the city was holding its breath. Though I could imagine it was, as was the rest of the world. The cool air that shivered everyone’s boots left no stone untouched. I walked along the road, snow crunching under my boots, with a calm stillness I hadn’t felt in a long time. It was familiar. The kind that felt like a blanket over my shoulders. It felt like I was being watched, but not by predatory eyes, rather, by eyes that swore to protect me. It felt nice, no matter how absurd that sounded. The feeling left a flutter inside me, making me see details that had no real meaning. I look towards a lamp. It coincidentally had the letter M carved out in cursive, looking strikingly similar to how Dimitri would have done it. I reached a hand towards it, tracing over the letters path like it meant something to me. I remembered the old estates courtyard I had left behind. I remembered watching Dimitri all

  • Velvet and vengeance: stripped by the enemy    CHAPTER 199

    Ghost in The SnowDimitri’s POVThe courtyard of the estate was, as always, a cathedral of jagged ice and furious wind that seeped deep into your bones. At just ten years old, Dimitri already knew something. The harsh winds, though of natural cause, had grown to taunt the people of the manor. It didn’t just howl, it judged. If you shivered under its touch, you were weak; if you cried, you were bound to be tossed to the sides. His father’s voice was a permanent mantra that blended with the howl of wind. “A Volkov is a man of steel,” he would say. “We don’t feel.” He always added with a tone that made the young boy wonder if he had been like that throughout his entire life. But Dimitri was considered a failure. One that refused to bend under the will of his family. His words haunted the young boy. Echoed in his head when rooms got quiet or when my eyes focused do much that the world turned blurry, and left a bitter taste that Dimitri could not swallow. Dimitri was kneeling in knee de

  • Velvet and vengeance: stripped by the enemy    CHAPTER 198

    Calculated MovesMaraleona's POV The loft was a gentle reminder of an architects integrity. It was tucked behind the soot-stained facade of a former clock factory in Moscow’s Basmanny District. Karen coughed into her hands and started talking, her voice barely going over the hum of the air conditioning. "The extraction of data from the secondary warehouse is complete." She started. She projected a series of images onto the glass wall. "It wasn't just raw communication. Someone bypassed the Sokolov encryption protocols before we arrived. They didn't steal the data, they annotated it." She sounded rather impressed by the person's actions​I stepped closer to the glass, my heart slowing to a painful thud against my chest. There, in the corner of metal casing, were the dots. Three microscopic indentations in the metal casing of a junction box, captured by Kaelen’s high-resolution lens.My eyes looked at it for a minute. I didn't have to think too much, my brain automatically translate
