NALANI My injury had cooled by the time I reached the packhouse doors. Whatever was wrong with my injury had faded, and now only the faded throbbing reminder that an injury lay under the bandage was left. I pressed my hand against my side and kept walking.

I didn’t want them to turn around and call me crazy.

Tension began to crawl all over my body the moment I saw Salvatore hoisting his hand; aiming straight at his head until he pulled the trigger himself. ​ I closed the curtains immediately when he turned around. He saw me. Salvatore saw me watching! ​ With a throbbing body, my fists soften along with my knees trembling. The danger in this mansion is no joke—one bullet and you'd get killed. ​ I jolted when the door swung open and Salvatore walked his way inside unbothered. ​ Blood drips down from his hands. Seeing the stain on the floor made my stomach turn as my taste went sour. There seemed to be a lump stuck in my throat, forbidding me to speak.

Chapter 152: Seeds of Ruin CASSANDRA’S POV I leaned back in the worn leather chair of the abandoned cabin and swirled the dark wine in my glass. Days had passed since the chaos at the ruins, yet the taste of victory still lingered sweeter than any drink. My side still ached where Anya’s blade had caught me but the pain only sharpened my focus.

The terror in her dialed irises confirmed his suspicion. His aura turned more cold and dark if possible. A small chuckle vibrated from his rough throat. Her unshed tears , she was trying so hard to control, started streaming down like waterfall, studying his deranged reaction. She was doomed. In hands of man who was her sinner, her tormentor, the man who ruined her.

“Not a control.” Her pulse spiked. “What kind of failsafe?” His voice dropped. “The kind that destroys it completely.” Her breath caught. “And everything on it?” “Yes.” The implication hit. Hard. “That would expose everything anyway,” she said. “No,” he replied. “It wipes it.” The man’s expression shifted slightly. Interest. “That’s risky,” he said. “It’s necessary.” Elena’s heart pounded. “If you do that,” she said, “you lose everything.” “Yes.” “And they win.”

"Oh, you're yelling at me? What exactly do you have that compares to Myra? All these years, she handled everything, and I just had to sign papers. I never had to lift a damn finger!"

Violet POV “ Stupid irish brut” I hissed walking to the closet to pick up my clothes for the night. “ I’m going to pay you back for humiliating me and making your stupid guards touch my skin, you arrogant, stupid, toxic dumb head” I screamed at the empty room, throwing a hanger across the room. I caught my reflection in the mirror and stopped dead, I have never looked this horrific, my hair was a mess and clothes were ruined stained with whatever disgusting filth on that warehouse floor.

On the outside, it looked like nothing serious had happened there, but Claudio looked more shaken than the last time I had seen him. — The woman is crazy – he seemed disturbed – she set her own body on fire. I dragged her out and tried to save my house. — And what is the gravity scale of the house? I asked, sitting down next to him. — The room was completely destroyed – he confessed, with regret – the damage was only not greater because I managed to put out the fire. I looked at the place again, and for a moment I was grateful Aurora wasn’t there to watch her mother’s house get destroyed.
