THIRTY ONE: JESSICA'S POV All heads whipped to the entrance of the door and in sync, gasps erupted from their throat. I gulped. At the door, stood Gray.... His eyes blazing with fury, face twisted in rage. “What the hell is going on here?!” He seethed, his voice bouncing off the walls of the entire room. The three girls stood straight, a fake smile appearing on their lips. “And what do you think it is? We were trying to welcome her.” The Eve of a girl said, and a shocked gasp filled my throat. There weren't only whores but also liars? “And you think I'm daft to buy that?” Gray questioned, cocking his head before walking into the room completely.“We....”“You were trying to welcome her?” They tried to speak, but he cut them off, his gaze sweeping over my face, then back to the girls. “Can you explain the split on her lips and how you both pounded on her? I'm not blind, Eve!!” He snapped further, his jaw clenched. None of them said anything; they only ro

THIRTY THREE: LUCIAN'S POVThe room reeked of heavy stench of blood, the dim red light flickering on and off, a stick of cigar trapped between my lips as I took slow puffs, events of everything that happened echoing over and over again in my memory. Varran Leone. The thief. Ming Hao. Those three! Varran Leone thought he could be smart with me, he thought he'd continue hiding from me, but no, I was going to make him crawl out of his hiding. I was going to make him taste death, but it'll be far from taking his life. And for Ming Hao? I don't regret how I ended him. When I chose his hotel, it wasn't because there was no better hotel in Beijing. When I asked him to find that thief for me, it wasn't because I hadn't gotten all the facts I needed—that criminal was under the protection of Ming Hao. I had no plans to spend four days in Beijing, but he actually tried to act smart with me. Even when I gave him countless opportunities, provide the criminal for me

THIRTY FIVE: JESSICA'S POVI opened my mouth to speak, but I couldn't even think of what to say. My heart thudded in my chest as I stared between Lucian then back at the girls whose tears were dripping torrentially, but they couldn't even say a word, they could only shake their head, hoping that a miracle would happen.I would have been the most excited if these girls ceased to disturb Willow and I, but what I didn't want was their deaths, that too because of me. I didn't want anyone to lose their lives because of me. “You don't want to keep me waiting, princess. Do you?” Lucian's voice sliced through the air, snapping me out of my thoughts.I exhaled briefly, then swallowed emptiness before forcing a smile to appear on my face. “I don't understand what you're saying...” I tried to steady my voice, making sure it wouldn't tremble. “What's all this about?” I narrowed my gaze at him as I questioned. His gaze shot up to me, his lips stretching, not enough to call

THIRTY SEVEN: JESSICA'S POV My brows furrowed, twitching and I returned the gaze back to Lillian, so did the others. “Why did you stop talking?” I asked, mirroring my gaze at her. “I think I saw someone's shadow. More like the person was eavesdropping, but the moment I stopped talking, the shadow disappeared.” She explained and Emily and I shared a confused glance. “Do you think someone did eavesdrop? Why? The girls are all dead anyway, so?” Emily questioned and I shrugged. I had no idea why whoever it was eavesdropped, “Maybe we shouldn't talk about it.” I said.“But I want to know more of what they did.” It was Willow that grunted and we all chuckled. “You don't have to know everything, Willow. And besides, why aren't you with your novel? You need to bury your face in that book.” I muttered playfully and she grinned. Lillian picked the knife from the counter once more and resumed with what she was chopping. Emily went to the fridge to get meat which she b

THIRTY NINE: Jessica's POVImmediately the door shut behind us; silence followed. That silence that can make you hear a pin falling.Willow held me so tightly, like I was going to run away. Well I don't blame her, not after what we experienced down there. I felt my heart beating so fast.First was Raphael, claiming that I bewitched Lucian. Now Lucian is acting so strange.Willow stood for some seconds before walking to the bed and then sat slowly; her face was pale from the incident.“Jessica,” she whispered slowly, still trembling. She was too innocent to face this cruel world."It's over; we are safe now" I said, forcing my voice to sound composed. "No one is going to hurt us here," I continued, which I knew might be a lie deep down. What if Raphael comes in here again? What if he comes and kills us here?She nodded, but her eyes said otherwise; she was still scared, I saw it in her eyes. "H...he was so angry. I thought he was going to kill...""Yes, but he di
