All Chapters of Ruthless Vows: The Billionaire Revenge: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

"She's gone."Lucian stood at the dock. Staring at the empty spot where Celeste's boat should be.Damien felt everything inside him break. "What do you mean gone?""Her tracker stopped moving an hour ago. Middle of the island. Then it just died.""Died how?""Either she took it off. Or someone took it off her."Damien's hands turned to fists. "Get everyone. We're going in.""It's a trap. You know that.""Don't care."They took two boats. Eight guys. Armed up completely.The ride felt endless. Every second killing him.When they got to the island it was dead quiet. Too quiet.No guards. Nothing moving. Just empty."Something's off," Lucian said.They moved inland. Guns up. Looking everywhere.The main building was empty. Doors wide open. Lights still on. But there were no people anywhere."Where'd everyone go?" one of the guys asked.Damien didn't answer. Already moving. Searching room by room.Then he found it. Some kind of study. Papers all over the desk.And on the floor. Celeste's

"We're going in."Damien stood facing a handful of people. Lucian. Elena. Three guys who used to work for the Sovereign Hand but flipped."This is suicide," Lucian said."I know.""Damien—""She's in there. Nothing else matters."Elena finished checking her weapon. "Then we're wasting time standing here."They piled into black vans. I started driving. The compound was about two hours out through winding roads.Damien kept thinking about Celeste. That note kept playing in his head. "She is not who you think she is."What the hell did that mean? What did Adrian say to her?"You good?" Lucian asked from the seat next to him."No.""Want to talk about it?""Not really."They got there just as the sun began to develop. The compound sat on top of a hill with partitions around it. Guards everywhere you looked."So how exactly are we getting in?" Elena asked."Front door," Damien said."That's the whole plan?""Pretty much."He knew he wasn't thinking straight. Didn't care though. I had to g

"Don't touch me."Celeste's voice came out sharp. Her arms were shaking as she held onto the final page of her mother's diary. The paper turned old and yellow round the edges. It had stains on it that gave the impression of probably tears.Damien sat up in his sanatorium mattress. Winced when he moved. His ribs were all wrapped up tight. Burns all over his left arm. But he kept his eyes on her."What's it say?" he requested.She didn't solve it properly. Simply saved watching the phrases her mom wrote all the years ago. Words that changed everything."There's this place," Celeste finally said. "The Covenant Chamber. That's where it all began. Where the Sovereign Hand leaders made their pact or whatever."Damien's jaw went tight. "Where?""Mom drew a map on the back." Celeste flipped the page. Her finger traced along the lines. "Mountains somewhere. Really remote. Middle of nowhere basically."He swung his legs off the bed. Got up way too speedy. I had to take hold of the rail to preve

"Get down!"Damien tackled Celeste as bullets ripped through the stone above them. Her sister screamed. Her father yanked them both behind a massive pillar."How many?" Damien shouted to Lucian."At least fifteen. Maybe more coming down the stairs."Celeste's ears rang from the gunfire. She looked at her sister. The girl was shaking. Tears running down her face."What's your name?" Celeste asked her."Sarah. My name is Sarah.""Okay, Sarah. Stay low. Stay quiet. We'll get you out.""You promise?"Celeste wanted to. But promises felt empty right now.More gunshots. Closer this time.Her father checked his gun. "We need to move deeper into the chamber. There's another exit.""You expect us to trust you?" Damien said."You don't have a choice."He was right. They didn't.They ran. Keeping low. Using the pillars for cover. The chamber stretched back further than Celeste expected. Room after room. All carved from stone. All covered in names.She saw them as they passed. Family names. Dates

"She's not dead."Damien stared at the photo on Celeste's telephone. The woman who looked exactly like her first sister. the only who supposedly died at two."it is not possible," he stated."My father was impossible. Sarah was impossible. The whole thing about my existence has been impossible."She threw the cellular telephone across the room. It smacked the wall and cracked.Sarah woke up. "What's happening?""Another problem," Celeste said.Lucian came in from the next room with his gun already out. "What kind?""The kind that should be dead but isn't."She explained the photo. The message. The threat.Elena pulled out her computer and started out typing. "If there is any other Ravencroft daughter, I'll tune her down.""Do not bother," Celeste stated. "She'll come to us….it really is the entire point."Damien picked up the damaged cellphone and looked at the picture once more. "may be faux. Photoshop. Someone is messing with you.""Or it's real and we are screwed.""Both manners, we
