Semua Bab Bound by His Mark, Freed by His Betrayal: Bab 251 - Bab 260

Vivienne’s POVThat night, the apartment felt possibly cold and large. Everything felt suspicious around me and I knew I was starting to lose my mind.Victor and I couldn’t even manage to calm each other down, we were too drenched in fear to even breathe properly.I rolled into my blanket, looking across at him.He looked even more scared than I was. His face was pale, and his body was shaking uncontrollably.It was one thing to fight a visible enemy but an enemy one couldn’t see was far much worse and intimidating.My panic grew at the thought, reminding me that that was the situation I was in— fighting an unknown enemy. Then, a soft sound shuffled into the room as someone had stepped inside.I froze, turning my head towards the door. Victor did the same thing, but none of us had the audacity to get up and check it out. I swallowed, my heart hammering hard against my chest.But after a while of looking at the door, we heard nothing and saw nothing. I drew a deep breath, deciding w

Vivienne’s POVMy hands shook as I stared at the message on the phone.I didn’t say anything, couldn’t actually say anything. Whatever I had to say was locked away in my throat.Upon seeing my reaction, he joined me quickly, and his eyes scanned my phone.“What the hell?” he whispered beside me.He quickly scrambled for the remote, nearly dropping it as he rushed to turn on the television.The screen came alive… then he turned it to the news channel and the sound followed.I was hit with the headline first— an exclusive scandal involving a prominent married woman. My body went cold.There we were on the screen… the very image taken at the hospital.It wasn’t a private picture being sent as blackmail anymore. It was public and invisible to all who were interested in seeing.My knees buckled, and without warning, I sank onto the ground, listening to the reporter's voice in the background, barely able to make sense of anything she was saying.Though the damage of her calm and merciless

Assistants POVI was still pacing in the middle of the room when a knock sounded at the door, jolting me in shock.We stared at each other, wondering who it could be. After all, we had been stuck in that room for days with no one coming to our rescue, so it was surprising to finally hear a knock.I quickly rushed to get the door, eager to get outside as that room had become too suffocating, but as soon as I opened the door, I was faced with an unexpected scene. Four heavy guards stood at the door; their faces were blank, and you could immediately feel the air shift as soon as they walked in.“How may I help you? Is anything the matter?”They looked between me and Vivienne, who was still underground and had barely moved since the news of our affair broke out on the television.“The Alpha requests your presence in the main house,” one of them said, voice deep and hoarse.I swallowed. Wondering what it was about.Perhaps it was because he hadn’t seen us in days and wanted to know what w

She chuckled dryly like a madwoman waiting to run into the street. “Elena, can I ask you a question?” She whispered.I ran my eyes over half for a minute before giving a reply. “Of course, I think I can still give you that grace.”“How long… How long have you known about our plans?”I smirked. “Well, you’re starting to ask the right questions.”I stood, walking to meet Michael. “Hmmm, so your partner wants to know how long we’ve known about your silly little plans… Do you also want to know?” I asked mockingly. But the bastard couldn’t even give a proper answer.I scoffed. “Knowing you, I’m sure you’ve been acting so tough with partners whilst planning in the shadows, but now that you’re before your enemies, now that you’re before everyone, you no longer have anything to say, huh?”Silence.“Well, it doesn’t matter. Since your partner has requested the truth, I will gladly say it.”I looked around the room, as if to hold everyone’s attention before I began.“First of all, I would ju

Vivienne’s POVI laid sprawled out on the floor too weak to even move. Every part of me felt hot like they were burning in hell. My chest felt constricted and I couldn't even breathe properly.The cause?—well the thought that I had ruined my life myself without any reason of course. The reality was crushing to say the least. I only wanted to protect him. I only wanted to protect my nephew but little did I know I was fighting the wrong enemy.A tear ran down my cheeks. The irony of my actions make me chuckle dryly. I was so certain Elena was the evil one and had fought against her with all my might but turned out she was the savior the whole time. And the person I saw as the savior was the actual perpetrator.I scoffed again, still sprawled out on the floor.After a while of laying there, I finally managed to pull myself up. I turned to Victor or Michael… Whatever his name was because apparently I didn’t even know him well enough to know his real name.“Why? Why did you do thi
