บททั้งหมดของ Tied to the Ruthless Three: บทที่ 91 - บทที่ 100

The first snowfall came on the day all the students were getting ready to go home. This long break was going to torture me, because it meant I wouldn’t see Alexei for a while. As I carried my suitcase down the stairs, Gabriel suddenly appeared and grabbed it from my hand.“I can do it myself, Gabriel,” I said, trying not to sound annoyed.Gabriel glanced at me briefly, then continued down the stairs. Nathaniel walked beside me, glaring with that mocking smirk of his.“I don’t know what my brother sees in you. I’d never be a stupid dog like him, treating you like his master,” he hissed.I gritted my teeth. “I never treated Gabriel like a dog. Just shut your mouth.”Nathaniel’s quiet, mocking laugh cut deeper than I wanted to admit. Even though I tried to ignore him, it stung. Everything Gabriel and I had been through—yes, I cared for him. But not because of whatever “loyal dog” nonsense Nathaniel believed.When we reached the first floor, I saw Alexei standing near the entrance. He was

The sound of my shoes scraped softly against the salted pedestrian path, the grains of salt crunching under each step to keep the walkway from getting slippery. Along the path, I saw neatly trimmed shrubs and tall, thick trees. Up ahead, the snow-covered peak of the pavilion roof peeked through.The pavilion looked almost like a greenhouse, since nearly the entire structure was made of glass. Inside, I could see figures gathered—some lounging on couches, some playing billiards, others sitting on tall barstools facing the bar counter.As soon as the twins and I entered, the maid gave a polite nod to everyone present.“Miss Anastasia, Master Gabriel, and Master Nathaniel Lancroft have arrived,” she announced.I lifted my chin slightly, letting my gaze sweep across the room. And, of course—just my luck—I spotted Victoria and Dimitri as well. I should have known they would be here. Besides the two of them, I also saw Tisha among the group.The moment the three of us appeared, Tisha immedi

The cold air made my face feel stiff and dry, even though I had already covered half of it with a scarf. Walking out of the mansion at six in the morning felt like I was intentionally torturing myself.My bones felt as if they were being stabbed by the cold, even though I was wearing multiple layers and a coat. As I walked toward the edge of the forest, my boots sank into the blanket of snow, sending a damp, freezing chill through me.Oh, this was absolute torture.A few guards were already waiting at the gate that led into the forest. They were preparing the weapons lined up on the table. Seeing so many rifles did not scare me the way it used to.In Bastorin, this kind of sight was usual during shooting class. Although in truth, I had no idea which firearm was best for hunting in a situation like this.I reached into my coat pocket and quickly sent a message to Isolde. Was she awake? She should be.“Isolde, which firearm should be used for hunting in the forest? Hunting foxes.” I sen

Inside the room were Father, Alexei, Gabriel, and another Nightshade leader. Victoria's father didn't come at all, and I didn't expect him to want to see my condition anyway. I could feel his hatred toward me, just like his daughter's. It had been clear from the very beginning that Victoria and Dimitri were the ones who caused the trouble.Father sat on the edge of the bed beside me. It was something I had never experienced before. From the look on his face, I couldn't deny it; there was genuine worry etched there.Was his warning for me not to join the hunt a premonition… or just a coincidence?"We don't know which syndicate they were from. There's no data on either of them. It's been protected… or deliberately erased," Alexei murmured.He glanced at me, his eyes reflecting the same worry as Father's.Those hired killers would stay silent forever. Because I had killed them. And just like that, the trail leading to the real mastermind had been cut off."They shouldn't have been shot o

A long sigh escaped Isolde’s lips as her fingers tapped lightly against the face mask stuck to her skin. I let out a soft chuckle at her behavior as we stayed on the video call.“So you really can’t come visit me at all?” Isolde asked. “That sucks.”Ever since the incident at Marx’s mansion, I’d been put under strict house arrest. I wasn’t allowed to visit anywhere, and even leaving the house required being escorted by several guards. So it was better to stay home than feel like a prisoner.“What if you come here instead?” I offered.“Come to the Nightshade leader’s house? No way.” Isolde shook her head firmly. “My father would never allow it. He doesn’t really like dealing with Nightshade, to be honest. No offense.”I shrugged. “It’s okay. A lot of people don’t.”A brief silence fell between us. I leaned back against my headboard and let out a quiet sigh. Honestly, I was bored out of my mind. And I couldn’t even talk to Alexei whenever I wanted, because he was busy investigating who
