Chapter 82 Author's Pov “Madame, she has sent a message, the girl has eventually been poisoned.” “Oh, is that so?” A woman dressed in a slitted red gown, her cleavage open with her hair styled elegantly. She had a black mole on top of her red lips, and her grey eyes shone vividly under the dim lights, “I guess the servant needs a reward then.” The woman stood up from the sofa and walked towards her table. She took out the box inside her drawer and opened it carefully, revealing a dagger that was imbued with small gemstones. It looked like a decorational rather than something useful. “Your orders, madame.” “Once she comes to the warehouse, make sure you kill her. Bury her in a place that can't be found, I can't have too many people around me.” “I understand madam, I'll make sure she's gone.” **********A few days later. The warehouse was dimly lit, shadows stretching long and eerie against the cold concrete walls. The scent of dust and metal lingered in the air, a lone servant

Chapter 84 Nyx's Pov This was the Caprienne's Clan main building? I glanced around, ignoring the eyes of the people that were fixed on me. It was only a matter of time before I was brought here, so they were just seeing me earlier, there was not any need for them to be so concerned about me. “You're here now, is there anything you want?” The madam questioned and I turned to stare at her. When I first heard about her from the servant, I thought she was a very interesting woman and her character would be more wicked and feisty, but contrary to my words, she wasn't like that. Or was it because I was here? “Actually, I wanted to see someone, but I thought differently about it. I think I'll just have to do with coming in here for now.” I crossed my arms. Alden had told me that someone else was snooping around. She was identified already so I was waiting for her to come up to me herself. Once she heard that I had already shown myself to the main clan, I reckon she was going to panic and

Chapter 86Nyx's Pov I leaned back in my seat, tilting my head slightly as I studied Yasmin, “So, your family's banking on me to keep them safe? That's quite the gamble. Why do you even think you can trust me anyways?"Her jaw tightened, "We don’t have a choice. Cassandra has most of the clan in a chokehold, and the few of us that are left trying to survive? We’re running out of options."She exhaled sharply, pushing a stray curl behind her ear, “Things aren’t as simple as they seem, Nyx. If they were, I wouldn’t be sitting here talking to you like this.”I tapped my fingers against the table, considering her words, “Cassandra’s got the whole clan in the palm of her hand I must admit she's good at this”Yasmin hesitated, then nodded, “She controls everything. My father might be the official head, but everyone knows who pulls the strings. And the more powerful she gets, the more desperate the rest of us become.”I hummed, tilting my head slightly, “And what makes you think I’d be inte

Chapter 88Nyx's Pov I rolled my eyes at Alden, crossing my arms as I leaned back against the counter, "You really do love hearing yourself talk, don’t you?"Alden smirked, stepping closer, "What can I say? My voice has a certain charm. I’ve been told it’s rather addictive."I let out a dramatic sigh. "Right. And who told you that? Yourself in the mirror?"His chuckle was deep and smooth, like he found my irritation amusing. "Jealousy is not a good look on you, sweetheart.""Oh, please," I scoffed. "If I ever start complimenting you like that, just know I’ve been brainwashed. Or heavily drugged."Alden placed his hands on the counter, effectively trapping me in place. "Don’t worry, Nyx. You don’t have to say it. I already know you think I’m irresistible."I snorted, "The only thing you’re irresistible to is trouble."He leaned in, his breath brushing against my skin, his voice dropping to a low murmur. "And yet, here you are, standing in my kitchen. Trading insults with me instead of

Chapter 90Nyx's Pov Alden’s expression darkened, his gun never wavering, “You’re testing my patience, Castillo.”Castillo? Who the heck is he? And why does he look so similar to Alden? Siblings maybe? My eyes darted between the two men, my mind working quickly. The resemblance was there, the sharp features, the arrogant posture, the way they both held themselves like they owned the world.I turned to Alden, lowering my voice so only he could hear, “Who is he?”His jaw tightened, but he didn’t take his eyes off the man, “Castillo. My half-brother.” His voice was ice-cold, and the way he said it made it clear there was no love lost between them, he talked about them like they were strangers, “And the man in the wheelchair is my grandfather.”My fingers twitched slightly, resisting the urge to reach for my knife. His grandfather. The man sitting so still, so silent, radiated an unsettling aura. He wasn’t just anyone. He was someone powerful. Someone dangerous.I barely had time to proc
