Chapter 128: "The Game of Shadows"

He muttered frantically, dragging me closer and saying, "We don't have much time." "You have to pay attention to me if you wish to survive this—that is, if we wish to survive this. Don't act dumbly.I tried to ignore the mounting anxiety in my chest by swallowing. How did we arrive here? We were in a protected haven, buried from the world just hours ago. And just now it seemed as though the world was closing in on us. The men all around us were too many, with too obvious motives.I asked, trying myself to seem more courageous than I felt: "What do they want with you?"Damon did not respond immediately; his eyes veered to the disfigured guy guiding them inside the chamber. The man was grinning, observing us like a predator assessing its victim.Damon said, "It's not me they want," his eyes narrowing. "It's you."I halted. "What?""I'll explain later," he answered hurriedly, but his voice had a terrible edge. "Just remain near. Move just as directed by me. Not anything else.The scarred

Chapter 129: The Game of Shadows

Ethan turned back to me after glancing at Damon, a look of identification lighting across his face. "You are with him right now? I had not anticipated that. Though his voice was laden with ridicule, there was something deeper in his gaze. "You seemed to be smarter than that."Damon's jaw tightened, and he grabbed my hand. I could sense the pressure emanating from him—the need to snap at Ethan was hardly under control. He held it back, though, his eyes icy and exact."What do you desire?" Damon insisted, his voice low and lethal.Ethan shrugged lazily, his hands sliding into the black coat's pockets as though he had endless time. "What then do I want for? That's a pertinent inquiry. You could argue that I'm here to wrap up some unfinished business.My tummy turned over, discomfort slithering up my spine. "Loose ends?" I repeated, not sure whether I wanted to hear the response.Ethan's smile wavered, something darker flickering in his gaze. Let us just state... Our little game is not yet

Chapter 130: Beneath the Surface

"Alara...". His speech was tight, as though he were fighting both me and himself. "This is not some romantic love. It's not some fairytale where everything comes around at last. This is accurate. And in the actual world, folks suffer.I inhaled a wobbling note. The words probe farther than I had anticipated. Every bit of me wanted to look away, let the anxiety overtake me, to simply walk out of this disaster and pretend I hadn't been caught in it. Still, I had something inside that would not give up. Backing out now was too late. I already was too deep in."You're not the one who gets to decide my fate," I said, voice steady this time. "You cannot break some delicate thing like me. You should be more concerned about yourself if anything. Since I intend to keep on backing forth."His mouth closed, and his eyes flashed with something I cannot quite interpret. Envy? Question? Was it something else as well? I became unable to tell anymore.Hisvoice wase just a whisper; he added, "You don'

Chapter 131: Dark Echoes

Levi's mouth turned into a nasty smile. "Oh, I do not think so. The error rested with you, Ethan. Assuming you could just turn away from all of this without repercussions."As the puzzle's bits began to fit together, my heart pounded. Levi—he had been the one behind countless of the threats, the manipulations, the shadows lurking in the background. He had always been there, dragging threads and wreaking havoc, but until now I had never known the degree of it."You don't get it, do you?" Levi carried on, his eyes amusedly flitting between us. "You believe you can outpace your history, Ethan? That you can pass for everything's good hiding behind her? You are mistaken, then."As his words set in, my throat got tight. He was speaking of what? How did I fit into all of this?"You really think she doesn't know, do you?" Levi laughed and stepped in front of her. His gaze fixed on me, and the room's air changed once more—darker, cooler. "Your blindness prevents you from seeing her clearly."E

Chapter 132: Fractured Trust

Come on," I muttered, my breath laboring, terror wriggling at me as I watched the shadows move at the other end of the corridor. The men were low and hostile in their tones, their boots weighty on the floor. Time was running thin for us.Like a gap in his armor, I could sense Ethan's reluctance; suddenly, just when I thought he might give up, the door sprung open.Growling, he pushed me over the opening into the alley beyond.Though I didn't have time to savor it, the cool night air felt like a smack. I could not stop now, even though I was already racing and my legs hurt with the exertion. Not with the very high stakes involved here. Not when the ones I loved may be in danger.Ethan's footfalls behind me were steady, but just now there was something else more pressing. His speed accelerated, and I shivered with terror down my back. Something wasn't right."Where are they? I gasped, staring across my shoulder. Too black, the lane was gloomy enough for me to hardly see the forms of the

Chapter 133: The Breaking Point

A sick feeling coiled in my stomach. “Plans? What plans?”“You’ll find out soon enough,” he said, dragging me toward a darkened alley. “In the meantime, enjoy the quiet. It won’t last long.”I wanted to scream, to fight back, but something held me in place—something deeper than the terror pressing in on me. I had to know where Ethan was. I had to find out if he was alive.But as we rounded the corner, something in the distance caught my eye.A figure.Tall. Broad-shouldered. It couldn’t be. I blinked, my heart leaping into my throat. It was him.Ethan.But there was something wrong. His body was rigid, his eyes locked on us, but he didn’t move toward us. Didn’t come to my aid.“Ethan!” I cried out, my voice breaking.His gaze flickered toward me, but his expression remained unreadable.Levi’s grip tightened, and I looked up at him, confusion swirling inside me. “What did you do to him?”Levi’s chuckle echoed in the alley, dark and mocking. “I didn’t do anything to him. But that doesn’

Chapter 134: "The Edge of Betrayal"

The air between us thickened with unspoken words. The world around me felt distant and surreal, as if I were watching everything unfold from a distance. The weight of his rejection was too much to bear, but I didn’t have time to process it. I couldn’t afford to fall apart. Not now.“Levi’s waiting,” Ethan said, his voice so quiet, I almost didn’t hear it.Upon hearing his name, a shiver ran down my spine. Levi—my betrayer, the one who had orchestrated everything, the one who had turned my world upside down.“Levi?” I whispered, my throat dry. “What does Levi have to do with this?”Ethan didn’t answer. He just stood there, silent, and the silence roared louder than any words could."Tell me the truth, Ethan," I demanded, my voice cracking. "Is this all part of some plan? Did you ever love me?"He stared at me for a long moment, his expression unreadable. Then, finally, his lips parted, and the words that followed cut through me like a blade.“I never had a choice,” he said, his voice h

Chapter 135: "The Echoes of Deceit"

"What's going on?" I asked, my voice quivering. Ethan, what are you doing here? Why are you here with him?Ethan did not reply. His gaze shifted from Dante to me, and for a brief moment, I believed I sensed something, possibly guilt. But it was gone in an instant, replaced by the same inert look he had worn since this all began."Ethan!." I yelled out. Please, please chat with me. Tell me, please.Dante laughed sharply and cut off me. "Oh, Alara, he won't talk to you. Not in the manner you intend. You have passed your usefulness to him in the past.The punch of my heart pierced my stomach. "What??" That is untrue, no. Ethan, let me know this is untrue!Ethan replied nothing, though. He just stood there, unmoved, his face incomprehensible.The ground had seemed to have been pulled from under me. "Ethan, kindly!" I gasped out, emotional in nature, a tight throat. "Don't go ahead with this. I have no idea what has transpired. This is something we can correct. collectively.Ethan turned d

Chapter 136: "A Shattered Trust"

"You believe you might stop me, Levi?" Dante smirked, approaching me, his fingers still caressing my skin like a predator playing with its prey."I know I can," Levi said, entering the room with calm authority and a hard steel of will in his gaze. Then I will.Before Dante's dark and mocking chuckle shattered the tension, there was a long, strained period of quiet. He responded, gazing at us, "You're too late." You believe you can halt the already moving thing? Levi, the game has ended. You no longer get to participate.Levi stiffened his jaw, but he did not waver. Possibly not, but I'm not leaving here without her.The thickening air became heavy with approaching violence, a pressure developing in the room making breathing difficult.Then, as I thought I might pass out from the stress, something unanticipated occurred.The lights flashed once, then went out totally twice.pitches dark.Then the sound started to emanate. a low, guttural scream that appeared to emanate from all around

Chapter 137: The Fine Line separating Betrayal

I muttered, "Tell me you don't feel it," my words just heard over the hammering of my heart.Levi's hands clutched the steering wheel so firmly that his knuckles became white and he focussed his sight on the road ahead. His jaw was tense as the moonlight flowed across his face.With gritted teeth, "Alara, this isn't the time," he replied, but the little trembling in his voice revealed his composed front."Then when is the time?" I turned back, boiling up with rage. "You push me away every time I attempt to discuss things. Levi, I must know. Am I only another piece in this sick game with Dante, or do I mean anything to you?He applied the brakes, the car sliding to stop on the empty road. The abrupt stop left me lurching forward, but before I could get back up Levi turned to face me and his eyes burned with a force that made my breath freeze."You believe you are merely a pawn to me?" He insisted, his voice harsh and low. "For someone who doesn't matter, you think I would risk everythi
