Velvet and vengeance: stripped by the enemy のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

JaceThe words were heavy in my chest and frankly speaking, I'll blow his head off…Duncan? Lucian?Now he says he was there and saw me flee, but he didn't kill anyone? No, just how? How does he explain the whole drama because the pieces don't seem to connect.My eyes narrowed at him and my heart was swearing inside my chest. I looked into his eyes, searching for the lier in it, but I didn't find it, not even a flicker.“How do you mean your were there and not kill anyone?” My voice was heavy and my head ached. So after revealing the one thing that I've been holding back for years, he still has the guts to lie to me? Why is he just like this?My gaze was unwavering and fixed on him. His face was pale and the room was thick with the sickening silence between us. Our hearts raced and my face etched with regret and agony. Why did I even tell him? “I swear, I didn't have a hand in that,” he breathed, his face thick with an undeniable sincerity, but I bet this isn't the first time he's d

Jace povThe FractureWeeks had passed and I had healed completely. But my healing came with something else too—withdrawal. The way I looked at Lucian, it was exactly the same way I looked at the monster that night, swearing in my heart at that young age to make sure I end him, to make sure I take my revenge.But now, I ask myself if it's worth it, if this whole thing my life is built is even worthy and I can't look into his eyes anymore. That's my reality now.This version of pain is a deep and sensational one, one that wounds and never heals. Now I don't even know what I'm doing anymore, I don't even know if I know the real villain.She's behind, always in the shadows, dressed in elegant and big dresses and talks in a posh accent. Who could tell that she's the face behind the whole thing, who could tell that she as the actual Moreau demon Queen?As for Lucian, it's clear. He has always been a pawn in her game and would always answer to her because she made him. He'd never dare rebel

Jace povMy head burned with craze as I stood in awe and shock, pain enveloped my heart. I crashed to the ground, Matteo and the boys chased after the car exchanging gun fire but I did care. I was engulfed in the chaos and the reality of what had just happened.You know most times, I feel he doesn't are about me, I feel he doesn't even love me, I feel I'm just a part of a plan I'm yet to understand. I bottle up so much hate for him and anytime we're apart, my world crashes. That's the paradox I live with everyday. Most times, it's not about agreeing everything is fine, it's about finding the strength to get back and look him in the eye and face him, and love him and that's exactly what I'm going to do…I got up immediately my mind burned with determination and just then, a small piece of paper hung in the air and I grabbed it. It was written in italics, but bold and my eyes narrowed at the letter.“I'm going to purge him off your stain…” Delilah…What the actual fuck is this? So she's

Jace pov“I always knew she was hiding something from me, I just didn't know what…” his voice was heavy with pain and his eyes narrowed. He snapped his fingers restlessly on the bed and his head ached. His heart raced, I could feel it in my skin and the crawling feeling of fear sent shivers down his spine.“Matteo, dig up more information on this…” the door shut close thereafter and the weight of the situation filled the air and made it difficult to breathe.He looked into my eyes and sighed deeply. “Just calm down,” I smiled, my voice was warm, but it didn't help the trouble that burned in his heavy soul.Now he understands the feeling. I bet he must be wondering if that child was still alive and just hidden that way as a cover. He scanned through the record endlessly, his wyss never let go of any word in that file. His chest was heavy with weary and fear and it left him breathless. The clawing feeling of being betrayed choked him and he could only gasp for breath.This Moreau fam

Jace povI clutched hard to the knife and stuck it deep into the meat, just as if it was someone's heart.Just then, his phone rang and all eyes turned to him. He grabbed it quickly and his eyes widened as he stared at the number. He took a deep breath and answered the call, but he put it on speaker so we all could hear it.It was just the three of us, Matteo and the both of us.“Lucian…”They exchanged their weird pleasantries and she went head on to her purpose.“I need you back in Milan. There's going to be a council meeting…”Lucian scoffed softly and raised an eyebrow.“What for?” His voice was cold as ice and it pricked her.It's clear she was a hot headed fellow and I see it runs in the family.“The fuck is wrong with you?! I need you back in Milan in a week. You wanna know what we'll be discussing, it's alliances!” She slammed.“Hmm?” He breathed.“While you've been there creating enemies, I've been here trying to clean up your mess…” the beeping sound of the call rang in the
