Todos os capítulos de Deceived by Him: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 10

The courtroom was too quiet. The kind of silence that crackled with tension and barely contained judgment. Sienna Blake stepped through the heavy oak doors, heels tapping across the polished floor as every eye turned toward her.She hated this part—being watched like prey. But she wore confidence like armor, shoulders straight, chin high. She had worked too hard to let nerves win now.Dominic Hayes was already seated at the defense table, his wrists cuffed, his posture relaxed like he owned the room. He was dressed in a crisp shirt with rolled sleeves, as if prison was just another inconvenience in his schedule.Their eyes met.Sienna’s breath hitched. She wasn’t expecting him to look like that—so collected, so calm. So… dangerously composed. Something about his presence felt too deliberate, too controlled, like a man used to getting what he wanted.“You’re late,” he said, voice low and smooth.“You’re in handcuffs,” she replied evenly. “We all have our problems.”A faint smirk curved

The biting chill of early morning wrapped around Sienna like a thick cloak as she stepped out of the towering iron gates of the prison. The metallic clang echoed behind her, a cold reminder of the walls that confined Dominic Hayes just hours ago. She paused for a moment, letting the silence of the city streets seep into her bones. The weight of what she’d just heard was heavy — Dominic’s cryptic warning about powerful forces lurking in the shadows, pulling strings far beyond her understanding. It wasn’t just a simple case anymore; it was something darker, more dangerous.Her breath came out in soft puffs as she made her way to the worn-out car waiting nearby. Her mind raced, dissecting every word, every glance exchanged in that sterile visitation room. Dominic had been calm, almost too calm, but his eyes had told a different story — one of desperation, secrets, and an urgent plea for help. And then there was the mysterious woman who had appeared out of nowhere, her cold warning hangin

The cold night air bit into Sienna’s skin as she darted through the labyrinth of narrow back alleys, her breath ragged and uneven. Every shadow seemed to twist and pulse with danger, every distant sound making her flinch. She didn’t dare look back — not yet. But the echo of heavy footsteps was seared into her mind, a reminder that she was not alone.Her mind raced, replaying the brief but chilling encounter in Evelyn’s apartment. The man’s icy stare, his warning, and the sudden attack had shattered any illusion of safety she had left. The web she had stumbled into was darker and more dangerous than she’d ever imagined. Nexus wasn’t just a corporation; it was a fortress built on fear, corruption, and death.Sienna ducked behind a dumpster, pressing her back flat against the cold metal. Her heart thundered in her chest as she scanned the street, but the figure was gone. For now.Pulling out her phone, she checked the messages. No new threats, but the warning was clear: she was marked. A

The pounding footsteps grew louder and closer, echoing through the cavernous warehouse like an approaching storm. Sienna’s heart thundered in her chest as adrenaline surged through her veins, sharpening her senses to a razor’s edge. She gripped the cold metal crowbar firmly, her knuckles white, ready to defend herself. Beside her, Alex crouched low, muscles tense and eyes scanning every shadow for the next threat.The red emergency lights flickered erratically, casting long, jagged shadows that danced across crates and rusted machinery. The air was thick and heavy with the smell of sweat, fear, and the faint metallic tang of electricity. Somewhere, a distant alarm wailed, punctuating the tense silence with its eerie cry.Sienna’s thoughts flashed back to the harrowing path that had led her here — Dominic’s unjust arrest, Evelyn’s disappearance, and the mounting threats that had stalked her relentlessly. This was no longer just a quest for truth; it was a fight for survival, a battle a

The SUV raced through the darkened streets, its tires squealing as Alex navigated the maze of alleys and side roads with practiced precision. Inside, the air was thick with tension, each occupant lost in their own turbulent thoughts. Sienna pressed her forehead against the cold glass window, watching the city lights blur past like distant stars—beautiful, yet indifferent to their plight. Her mind churned with questions she dared not voice aloud.“We’re not safe yet,” Alex said, breaking the heavy silence. His voice was low but steady, a fragile anchor in the storm of uncertainty. “Nexus’s reach runs deep in this city. They have eyes everywhere — cameras, informants, traps. Even here, we could be walking into a nightmare.”Sienna’s eyes flicked to Evelyn, who sat rigid beside her, her face pale but resolute. The bruises and scratches on Evelyn’s wrists told a brutal story of captivity, but it was the haunted look in her eyes that unsettled Sienna the most.“How did they catch you?” Sie
