131. My Heart's Treason

I walked into the mansion with an unsteady feeling, still saying nothing to Isolde, who was walking beside me. Katerina’s offer felt like a double-edged sword—one that, if I refused, might end up stabbing me in the chest. Was there truly no other option that could give me a peaceful, quiet life?Should I go with Alexei? Leave everything behind, disappear, and let the Lancroft dynasty crumble, all for the sake of my own happiness?I never imagined that chasing happiness would cost so much.“Are you alright?” Isolde asked.I shook my head. “No.”“What did Katerina want from you?”“What she said at the gala.” I stopped in front of Nathaniel’s room. “She wants me to become a Nightshade division leader.”I opened the door to the room, where Gabriel was sitting at the edge of the bed. Nathaniel was still passed out, not waking up at all. The moment he saw me, Gabriel rushed over and pulled me into a hug.“I’m sorry.” Gabriel sounded full of regret. “If Nathaniel weren’t like this, I would’v

132. Our Last Night

The car stopped at the hotel entrance, and a security guard opened the door for me. Suddenly, Dimitri wrapped his arm around my shoulder without warning. I shot him a confused look, brows furrowing—was this part of the plan?I found it strange that Alexei would be staying in a luxurious hotel like this so openly. Nightshade would catch him immediately.“You’re not playing with me, right?” I asked Dimitri as he casually walked past the front desk.He didn’t answer. He pressed the elevator button and stood there, as if nothing were wrong, still keeping his arm around me, which made me uncomfortable. I wanted to shrug him off, but there were guests around us waiting to go up as well.We stepped into the elevator, and Dimitri swiped a card before pressing the button for the top floor. The suite.Oh dear, did I make the right decision?The moment we reached the top floor, Dimitri finally let go. He walked toward the farthest door, tapped the card again until it beeped, and the door unlocke

133. Oath Spoken in Silence

It was still dark outside when I looked out the window. With a heavy heart, I sat on the couch in Alexei’s arms. It was time for him to leave, and I wasn’t ready to let go of his embrace yet.A soft beep sounded from the front door. When I turned around, Dimitri and Yuri walked in. They hurried toward us. Alexei and I stood up together, and my body began to tremble. Couldn’t time just stop right now?“Sir, it’s time,” Yuri said.Alexei gave a brief nod, then turned to me. “I’m going now, okay?”His warm hands cupped my face as he leaned down until we were face to face. His lips brushed my forehead gently. Then he kissed both my cheeks before our lips finally met.I couldn’t suppress my emotions anymore, and tears fell instantly. I shouldn’t cry; I didn’t want Alexei to feel uneasy after leaving me. But my heart betrayed my mind.“I’m sorry,” I whispered softly. “I never meant to cry.”Alexei smiled, his thumb wiping away my tears. “It’s okay. But don’t cry after this, because I’m the

134. I Walked Into the Syndicate

After a lengthy discussion with Dimitri and the twins, I finally learned something crucial. Our main enemy was Vlad—Victoria’s father. That was one of the reasons Dimitri had turned against Victoria and Vlad. The truth had come out, even though Dimitri didn’t yet have solid evidence.“That’s why Anna has to become a Division Leader,” Dimitri said. “That way, she can expose Mr. Vlad’s crimes.”“Well, yeah, but if you become a Division Leader,” Nathaniel cut in, “you won’t be able to move freely. Uncle Vlad will control you, demand your loyalty to him.”Dimitri nodded. “Exactly.”“Being Uncle Vlad’s puppet would seriously suck,” Gabriel muttered.I remained silent, listening to the three of them. If I became a Division Leader, I’d have to accept Katerina’s offer. The problem was... was Katerina just as rotten as Vlad? Or worse?But if I stepped back, Nightshade would only descend further into chaos. It wasn’t technically my responsibility, but many people would never get justice.My fat

135. A Goodbye Beneath the Waves

The sound of a lighter being softly flicked, and Yuri held out the small flame, wavering gently as it was brushed by the wind. The faint crackle of the cigarette catching fire followed, accompanied by gray smoke slipping from my lips.It was cold here. Damp, with the sharp scent of saltwater.We stood along the deck corridor of the ship, staring at the calm sea below, waiting through those anxious minutes until the vessel finally moved out of the harbor.The deep roar of the ship’s engine eventually thundered to life, ringing painfully in my ears. Slowly, the ship began to glide forward, pulling away from the dock. With every inch it moved, my chest felt tighter, my body as if it were being torn apart.Anna’s image filled my mind and my heart completely. I was leaving her behind, even though I did not want to. And yes, it hurt more than I could bear.“After this, we’ll disembark in East Asia, sir, then transfer to another ship,” Yuri said, concern evident in his voice. “Are you sure y

136. What She Must Never Know

NATHANIEL POVI had never paid close attention to the way Anna walked before. In the past, every time she passed by, I only saw her as Father Alistair’s daughter—spoiled, entitled, and careless. After that, I thought it would be easy to turn her into a pawn.But starting today, my perspective changed. Anna holds a role far greater than my life or Gabriel’s.Watching Anna walk away made my heart ache, sharp with pain and sorrow. Just as my feelings for her were growing deeper, she was about to leave my life. I accepted it because after this, Anna would become someone extraordinary.Someone beyond my reach. I knew that.“Remember, if anything happens, you have to contact us. Anytime. We’ll always be here for you, Anna.”Gabriel’s words sounded like cotton candy—sweet, almost sickeningly so.“You both need to focus on your education, too. Being transferred to a new academy will take some adjustment,” Anna said as she looked at Gabriel. “I’ll be fine. You should think about yourselves as

137. The Beginning of My Isolation

Katerina’s residence came into view at the end of the road as the car turned in. This was the second time I had come to her estate, two visits under very different circumstances.I stepped out as soon as Katerina ordered me to, and we walked side by side inside. Once inside, Katerina moved ahead toward her study. However, she paused, then turned back to me.“Get some rest, Anna. A room has been prepared for you. After lunch, we’ll be leaving,” she said.I froze. Leaving? Where were we going?As if she knew exactly what I was thinking, Katerina cleared her throat softly. “You won’t be trained here. I have a special place prepared for you, somewhere you can focus better. With selected people.”Selected people. Okay… that sounded a little unsettling.I simply nodded and thanked her, then followed the maid who was ready to escort me to my room. As we walked through the corridor, countless thoughts swirled through my mind.Once inside the room, I immediately called Gabriel. He did not pick

138. Four Years Past

I quickly pulled out my hair tie, and the tension on my scalp finally eased. My hair fell loose, as free as I was as I walked out of this building. The sound of my boots echoed like a heartbeat as I headed toward the door. On the way, I passed several Nightshade members rushing inside. They gave me quick nods before moving on with their orders.This was mission—honestly, I’d lost count—in the last four years. The final mission. I’d been in the field, and now it was time to take the throne as division leader. As that moment drew closer, something emotional churned inside my chest.I approached Tisha and Isolde, who were already waiting by the car. Tisha sat on the hood, smoking. Isolde lounged in the driver’s seat with a lollipop in her mouth. The contrast was ironic.“All clear?” Tisha asked. I nodded and slid into the car. I needed some sleep. This mission had left me exhausted; most of them did.But because this was emphasized as the last one, the adrenaline hit harder than usual.

139. The Day the Lie Ended

“Gabriel! Dimitri!!” I screamed at the top of my lungs.I just—I never thought the two of them would—oh my God. This isn’t happening, right? This isn’t what I think it is… right?Gabriel slowly opened his eyes and blinked. “Anna?” he called hoarsely, still half-asleep.“Are you sleeping with Dimitri?” I asked flatly.Gabriel immediately turned his head and then jolted upright. He screamed, completely hysterical, and kicked Dimitri so hard he rolled off the bed and onto the floor.“Fuck, Dimitri! Why are you sleeping in my room?!” Gabriel yelled.Gabriel stood up on the mattress and jumped down toward Dimitri. They started fighting, cursing at each other, and I just stood there, frozen in confusion. I’d just come home, and this was my welcome?“Anna...”The voice came with arms wrapping around me from behind. Instinct took over. I bent forward and threw him to the floor.“Nate?” I gasped in shock.I hurried to help Nathaniel up as he groaned in pain. Guilt hit me instantly. I was alw

140. The Last Resting Place of Loyalty

The headstone was nameless and neglected, pressed close to other graves that shared the same fate. I took a deep breath as I cleared away the tall grass, then placed a bouquet of flowers there. My God, I never imagined it would come to this.“I’m sorry I came so late, Yuri,” I whispered softly.I imagined Yuri standing there beside me, keeping me company with that faint smile of his. I always remembered Yuri’s smile—stiff, but sincere. He had remained loyal to Alexei until the very end.“I will avenge you and Alexei, too,” I said, my hand clenching into a fist. “Your sacrifices will not be in vain. I swear it. I won’t rest until Vlad ends up in my hands.”I still had not entirely accepted that Alexei and Yuri were gone. Mainly because Alexei’s body had never been found. That made it hurt even more.There was no grave, no marker to show where Alexei made his final rest. Alexei would be remembered by the vast ocean, the place where he had wandered endlessly.“Oh, God,” I sobbed quietly.
