All Chapters of Velvet and vengeance: stripped by the enemy : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Fire in the Streets Jace's POVIt's been three painful days now, and Lucian hasn't come to get me. The delay is agonizing, but the things I see every day from the lonely cathedral window are worse. The city of Barcelona has become a center of violence,gang war, blood, and the senseless deaths of innocent people,the city is in total chaos. The streets are a constant state of chaos, people running helter-skelter, fleeing the war, brutal clashes that tear the city apart every single day. Lucian's men and Alexander's men are clashing with no regard for life. Gangs from all the nooks and crannies of the state have joined forces or have been forced to take sides in a conflict that isn't their own.Yet, here I remain,the prize, the root of all this suffering,the "gem" that has been searched for,locked away in a lonely room within a forgotten cathedral. I remember when I was a boy, I used to feel the church was the safest place on earth, a holy sanctuary. But now, I realize that no plac

Duncan's last stand Duncan’s POV There is a kind of peace you feel when your plan just works perfectly well.You know, Jace and Lucian,they are fools. I mean, very big fools. And even Alexander,he just doesn’t know what I have in store for him. But then, I'm a master of surprises, so I'll just save that part for later.My face was calm and a smug smile tugged across the corners of my lips. My footsteps echoed loudly across the staircase as I walked toward them. My hand clung to my gun and my grip tightened on the cold metal rail. The door creaked open, and I walked in. My presence stole their glance—I was the man of the moment, the one they've been waiting for.Their eyes widened with disbelief and were fixed on me. Lucian's eyes narrowed with confusion and fury. Jace's mouth was agape, his confusion clear and his arms folded at his side. I just smiled, posing smartly, allowing them a nice and slow capture of this rare moment. To be honest, it's memorable…This moment was a ver

Jace Bleeding HeartsMy heart as I stared blankly into his face. He fought for breath and his skin was growing cold each passing second.I rushed to him, sliding on the bloodied and rough floor with precision and held him close.“Look at me…” I held his jaw and my thumb outlined the lines.I felt his breath fading away. His pulse was rapidly reducing and the faint sound of his heart sent shivers down my spine.Beads of sweat rolled down my head as I held him and a tear drop escaped my eyelids.“Stay with me…” I begged, my voice heavy with untold sorrow.I can't lose him, no, I really can't.My heart was enveloped with darkness and my soul was consumed with rage that filled me like lava, spreading all over my soul. My eyes burned with the fire and I stared into the chaos. Matteo was still furiously firing and smashing brains with his boot and I just watched, my head aching badly.My brain was clouded with thoughts and deep down, I was calculating possible escape routes.The problem w

JaceBrother’s End“Lucian!” My voice cut through the air and I rushed to him sharply. But he was calm and smiling warmly.Alexander's body thud against the ground and the gun slipped off from his hand. Dust filled the room and I managed to catch a breather.“Finish him off…” Lucian snarled. I smiled warmly and lunged at the animal on the ground, unleashing the beast in me on him. He was speechless, I expected that sour tongue but it had vanished.Stupid bagger. His boys were in shock as they watched me beat the living hell out of their boss, he's not my brother.“Wait!” His voice cut through me and quenched my rage for a brief second…My eyes darted around him and my grip on his fist was firm and even tightened. He was bleeding profusely on his side, the exact spot Lucian was stabbed. His breath faded away each passing second and he was slowly losing his life wire.But nah, he can't juydie so easily. My eyes scanned him as he struggled to catch breath. I don't even know why I stopp

Lucian's POV A Devil’s ProposalHis confidence was unwavering as he sat calmly on the couch. His kingly and striking appearance left me wondering where he fucking bought his audacity from. His cold blue eyes locked on to mine and I found it insulting.I leaned in with a growl and stuck a knife to his throat. he gagged and choked and his goons rushed over to help him, but my eyes were burning hot with rage.It's been a while since I let it out—the animal in me, he better pray he shouldn't have it unleashed on him.“Everybody calm down…” he spoke, his voice echoed with control and confidence. That's the thing that annoys me the more. The fuck is wrong with him.“How dare you walk into Europe and start up something without asking questions?!” I scolded, my voice thick with unhinged fury and madness.He smiled warmly and let out a soft chuckle.“Says the ghost who just returned from the dead…” he scorned.My heart raced and I fought hard to tame my beastly nature, he just didn't understa
