Chapter 31

Lillian’s POV:Soft, golden morning sunlight filtered through the bedroom's curtains. For a while, I lay there looking up at the ceiling.It's been a week since Alex and I returned from Italy, and I have been seriously training since then with the help of Alex and his bodyguards. My ribs and femur were aching from punching and spending too much time in the gym, but I feel myself getting stronger and more powerful as the day goes by. I sensed kg in my movements, in the way I resisted Marcus's padded knife and stopped flinching when he corrected my movements. I was advancing and making progress. I rolled out of bed and stepped into the running shower. Steam curled around me, the water scalding at first, then cooling as it ran down my back. My hair was dark and heavy against my skin as I tipped my head to let it soak. I tried to keep my mind still and block the noise in my head. The fear, the guilt and the never-ending cycle of what-ifs by closing my eyes. What if Justin hated me f

Chapter 32

The penthouse dining room was way too fancy. It was all shiny, and the chandelier sparkled. Lillian felt very satisfied, not because of the meal alone but because she was certain that Jessie and Justin were living well.The sun came in through the huge window and made stripes on the floor where Justin played with his toys. The turkey on the table looked like it had been through a rough battle. They had already eaten half of it. There were bowls of salad and a jug of orange juice. “I’m full,” Jessie said, shoving her plate away a long time ago, but Lillian knew that look. Jessie wasn't full. She looked worried. Justin flew his toy over the table, growling in a voice that sounded like a helicopter. He bounced off, and his little toy plopped into Lillian’s water. She gently took it out and wiped it with her napkin. “Easy there, Pilot,” she said, with a grin as she handed the toy over to Justin. Justin's big hazel eyes snapped up to her. He dropped the toy like he had lost interest.

Chapter 33

It was a Saturday morning, and the sun rose softly, reflecting through the thin curtains of Lillian’s room. Everywhere was quiet, and the only noise was the sound of chirping birds and the faint hum of the air conditioner. Beside her door was a small packed suitcase, which reminded her of her trip to Paris with Alex. She had just come back from Italy, and now she is going to France.The thought alone should have filled her with excitement since she had always dreamt of travelling around the world. But instead, there was only that heavy and anxious twist deep inside her chest. Travelling with someone like Alex wasn't some romantic escape. It was business. Cold, dangerous business. Lillian stared at herself in the mirror; her hair hung loose over her shoulders, and she applied a little make-up. A little pink blush on her cheeks, mascara on her lashes and a nude glossy lipstick. “Are you ready?” A voice came in from her room. Ibis's voice was deep and firm. The kind that carried aut

Lillian waved at Jessie and Justin as the elevator door slid shut. Jessie stood frozen in the hallway; her heart was pounding hard enough to hurt. She leaned against the wall and let out a deep breath. It felt like Alex had taken the air with him; like the moment he walked out, something in the penthouse changed. Everything suddenly felt colder.Even now, she could still feel his presence. That quiet, commanding authority that clung to him like a shadow.Alexander Nick didn’t need to yell to make his point. He didn’t need to threaten or lift a finger. His silence did all the talking. Sharp, cold, and calculated.Jessie rubbed her arms as goosebumps appeared on her skin.“Oh my God,” she whispered under her breath.When she turned, Justin was still curled up on the couch, holding a pillow tight like it was a shield. His wide hazel eyes darted toward her, which were filled with fear.“Are you okay, sweetheart?” she asked softly, forcing a smile on her face.He nodded his head. “He’s… sc

Lillian stepped out, her beige trench coat dancing behind her. The sun reflected over the sleek jet waiting before her. The kind of sight that felt like a big dream. Just a few months ago, she was pleading for mercy from Alexander, fighting back tears and exhaustion. Now she was boarding his private jet and heading to different countries with him. “Why walk slowly?” Alex asked from behind her. She turned slightly. He stood there, tall and cold. His hands were in his pocket, and he wasn’t smiling. But something about him made her a little scared. He looked untouchable, powerful and dangerous. Lillian swallowed and followed his lead up the stairs. The flight attendants greeted them with warm smiles as they entered the cabin. Alex gestured towards a seat by the window. “We leave in five minutes.”Lillian nodded quietly and slipped into the seat. She looked through the oval window, looking at the sky. For a moment, she was just a girl about to see Paris. When the engines started, h

It was a silent ride from the airport to the hotel. Lillian sat quietly, pressing her forehead against the cool glass of the black Maybach as she stared at the Eiffel Tower. The view of Paris made her forget every pain that she had felt.She felt relieved and at peace.Alexander Nick sat like a stone, scrolling through his phone with a calm focus. The golden light from the street reflected in his eyes, but his face didn't soften for a bit.He had travelled round and seen too much to be impressed by anything.After a while, they arrived at the hotel. The bodyguards opened the car doors, and Lillian stepped out.Immediately, she smelt the nice rose fragrance, which she didn't know where it was coming from. The hotel was so tall and elegant that her lips slightly parted.It was gigantic and luxurious. The only time she had seen such a hotel was in the movies.“This isn’t a vacation,” Alex said as he guided her into the building. “It’s survival.”She swallowed hard. “I know.”“Do you?” he

Her breath hitched.He said it like a compliment, like something he was proud of.And somehow, that made it worse and better at the same time.“They’ll underestimate you, thinking you're soft,” he continued. “Good. Use it.”Lillian looked at him. This man trained her like she was a soldier. Who dressed her like a queen. Who dragged her into danger but watched her like he expected her to beat the odds every time?“What do I need to know?” she asked.He nodded toward the dining table. Profiles, photographs, and handwritten notes covered the surface.“Charm. Start with charm. Men like them crave attention. Make them feel understood. They’ll talk,” he explained.Lillian swallowed hard. They just arrived in Paris, and Alex is just all about business. But she has no choice. “And after charm?” she asked“Manipulation,” he said bluntly. “The kind they won’t see coming.”“So I’m spying on them?”“I’m teaching you how to stay alive,” he corrected, locking his eyes on her. She reached for the

The makeup artist studied Lillian with narrowed eyes. “Close your eyes for me,” she murmured.Lillian did as she was instructed. Soft bristles swept over her eyelids and cheekbones. Each stroke adding bronzer on her skin. Her cheekbones sharpened, and her lips were bold. Tonight wasn’t about beauty.Tonight, Lillian had to be a trap in order for Alex to achieve his goals. The city of Paris glowed through the skyview window. When she stood, the red satin dress, which Alex selected for her, glittered under the light. It hugged her skin and trailed down her hips with a high slit at the side. She looked at her reflection and admired her beauty. The dressing and make-up gave her full confidence. For the first time in her life, she felt like she belonged. She felt classy and confident. She looked like someone Alex would want, but he only used her for his own gain. And the thought alone made her pulse misbehave, and she silently sighed. The heels made her tall, elegant and impossible

THE PARTYThe ballroom was decorated with a huge chandelier and crystals that brightened the whole place, making it too perfect, like a gala night. Lillian walked in alone. Her head was high, and her hips swayed from side to side. She looked so confident and attractive that heads turned and whispered as she walked. Deep down, she wondered why everyone was staring. She felt eyes on her legs, her dress, her hair and even her eyes. They were whispering, but she maintained her confidence. She stayed calm and collected, looking like a mysterious goddess. She smiled throughout as she lived through the room, and her gaze caught on a shadowed corner. It was Alex. He walked in unnoticed as planned, dressed in a black suit, and blended in with the room, but his eyes were on Lillian the whole time. He watches her closely, hoping that she will carry out her mission without hesitation, but the eyes on her make him feel jealous. He also couldn't get his eyes off her because he hadn't seen a

No Mercy LeftIt was midnight in the mansion. They no longer stayed at the hotel. Alex had ordered everyone to his mansion in Paris. A private mansion far from a residential area. The underground basement was dark and silent. The walls were cold, and the lights were dim. There was a strong smell of iron and damp concrete in the air. For Alex, that wasn't a place meant for mercy and negotiation. That was a place of exile. Alex descended the stone steps slowly. His shoes made no sound against the floor. Giorgio lay down, tied to a stone at the centre of the basement, his arms spread wide and chained. His white shorts were stained with dark red blood, and blood dripped from his mouth. Despite his condition, Giorgio smiled when he saw Alex walk in. He lifted his head with effort and exhaled deeply. “Well,” Giorgio called out, “here comes the great Alex Nick.”Alex stopped a few feet away, his face carved from stone. His men stood behind, silent shadows. He lifted her with guns strapp
