Mad Season River Of Deceit นิยาย & เรื่องราว

I looked around me, I was in a room, there was only a single narrow bed around the corner and a water dispenser My hand starts trembling as the reality of my situation slammed into me. It was getting hard to breathe. My back pressed against the wall. I tried to lose my hand again, but was all in vain My mind raced. The drink. That girl. But I didn't take the drink from he-- The door clicked open. I closed my eyes immediately and let my body go limp, pretending to be unconsciousness, heavy footsteps moved closer to me "What kind of drug did you put in her drink, Emma? She is still unconscious, " he said with his thick Italian accent

I could see it in the way his shoulders rose, in the slight narrowing of his blue eyes, in the plantain frozen midair in his hand like evidence in a trial. Then he glanced at me. Glanced at Gabriella. Maybe imagined the woman in red lipstick and heels inside my head, watching. He slowly bit into his plantain, chewed, then said in a voice so sweet it was almost indecent, “Okay, Mami.” I was almost suspicious that a professional con artist three feet tall had broken into my house. “Who are you,” I muttered, “and what have you done with my child?” Max smiled with his cheeks full. “I’m Maxime Rivera.”

What now? "How can you ask me to deceive someone?" Madison chuckled, "Deception is your specialty, isn't it? Let's not forget how you deceived Serena to forget about your ex, and we all know how well that turned out." Madison redirected her gaze to Gina. "But my point is, this time it will be for a good cause. Not just your own personal gain." "Now, if anyone has any more questions, please ask them now or forever hold your peace," Madison scanned each person in the room, her eyes fierce and determined. No one spoke up. She took it as a sign to continue.

I'm in no way trying to catch feelings for anyone, more so a hot temptress who is just here because her ego is hurt. “Get the hell out of here. Did you hear him or are you deaf or something.” If I wasn't trying to keep up the charade I would have had Amanda thrown out of the club for speaking to her that way. River suddenly looked irritated, “Shut up bitch, you're just the flavor of the night.” Amanda gasped; she opened her mouth to speak, but before she could get any words out, River walked away. I can't lie, that was freaking hot.

Madison was completely dumbfounded by the audacity. “Your greed has stripped every piece of gold from my title. My vaults contain absolutely nothing. Direct your begging to a different house!” She was presenting the absolute truth. Her name held zero remaining currency. “My beast rejects that lie!” Jeff shot back, his voice rising as he angled his throat toward the interior sleeping chamber. “Mother, Madison claims her vaults are dry! She actively desires to watch the underworld collectors tear my throat apart!” Hearing the shout, Eva and Glenn burst through the timber frame of their room simultaneously.

"Besides, you claim we deceived you on the Moon Newborn Festival plan, but without the deception, you'd have spilled everything to Hunt, and he'd have told Madison. Would our plan have succeeded? Would your mother and others have been rescued? Focus on the outcome, not the process." "Your mother is safe now—the result you wanted. The deception was necessary. If you hadn't trusted your father so blindly, we wouldn't have hidden the truth. Telling you beforehand that your father was a fence-sitter? You'd never have believed it, just as you don't believe now that Wilorina traded her body to bribe Madison's werewolf doctor to harm your mother. There's nothing left to say. I'll leave once Galvin

“I try. But he’s the one who saved me. Not the other way around.” Leo smiled softly. “That’s how it should be, balance. He steadies you, and you protect him.” There was a brief pause. The only sound was the low hum of the city outside. Then Sasha’s phone buzzed. She glanced at it and frowned. “Oh, great. Speak of the devil.” Jace looked up. “What is it?” “Some gossip blog is stirring rumors again,” Sasha said, scrolling quickly. “They’re posting pictures of River leaving your building last night. The headline says, ‘Maddox’s Mystery Man Still in the Shadows, Trouble in Paradise?’”

It should be illegal to look this good while moving furniture. “Stop drooling,” River calls without even turning around. “You’re gonna slip on your own hormones.” “I’m not —” “She so is,” Enrique chimes in innocently. I don’t know who I want to strangle more, the kid or the asshole. Or the asshole’s stupid twin. River balances a spatula on her head like she’s auditioning for a bizarre Victorian circus act, still humming as if she didn’t just reveal half of Jackson’s private life. But just as I’m about to redirect her toward actual unpacking, she pauses, mid-hum, eyes narrowing.

She could never tell what he was thinking, all she knew was he was the most gorgeous man alive and she was happy to work for him because he paid well. Nate Madden watched the woman on the screen with the wild red curls that gave her chocolaty complexion an exotic look and smiled - though his secretary couldn’t tell if it was a smile or a grimace. Rachel Rivers. She was the woman who had almost unwittingly ruined his reputation.

“Why not look at the screen before you start apologizing, Mrs. Blackwood?” Her head snapped toward me, eyes narrowing. “Why are you here? Aren't you in that ro...?” “Look at the damn screen Madam. Where do you think Rylan should be?” Asher said, louder this time, his jaw set. Raine turned slowly, her expression icy. But the moment her gaze landed on the monitor on Dylan’s unmistakable face, his tattoos, his voice whispering something crude into the waitress’s ears. Her calm composure shattered, her legs weakened.
