Novel & Cerita The Guild Member Next Door Novel Spoiler

The barrel was pierced by the many spears that lined the edges, causing the vibrant purple liquid- with mauve bubbles floating through it- to spill down across the tables below it, causing the guild members to scramble over each other to get away from the liquid. Rhae threw another barrel grinning at the surrounding chaos. A lamp sat on the bench beside her. Stepping back, she kicked the lamp across the room to the centre of the spillage that flew across the room from the pressure of the pierced barrel. The liquid immediately burst into flames, consuming the centre of the building and anyone still in the area. The room turned into a blazing inferno, spreading panic and fear through the heart

Alfred: We need to come up with a plan to get them and to let the guild know they are here. We heard a gasp and saw Chloe and Zendaya walk into the kitchen, followed by Blaze, Aidinth and Mateo. They each poured a cup of coffee and sat down. Luke had paused the recording until they settled down and Blaze asked, “So is this after their ass whooping?” Luke nodded, “She hasn’t heard what they said while the ladies were there yet.” I asked, “Which is more important to hear at this particular moment?” Luke replied, “I think we need to hear this first. We can go back further after we hear this.” All the guys nodded in agreement while all of us ladies just shrugged and trusted the guys. One of the

But my smile faded when I saw the grim look on Nicholas’s face. “What’s wrong?” I asked, rising from my chair. Noah slowly sank onto the couch, perching on the edge of the cushion. Nicholas stormed over to the minibar and filled a glass halfway with whiskey, then downed it in one go. “The guild happened,” Noah said hesitantly. I glanced at Nicholas, who wiped his mouth with the back of his hand with a grimace and immediately refilled his glass. “They summoned us,” he said. “Again.” … The next morning dawned clear and bright, but I felt like there was a dark stormcloud hanging heavy over my head as I stared down at the pen and paper in front of me.

I asked cautiously. His gaze shifted deliberately between me and Martil. “There’s a new member of the family,” he said. A pause. Heavy. Intentional. “And I think you’ll find it… interesting.” Martil’s hand tightened slightly around mine. I looked at him. He didn’t look surprised. Which meant— He already knew and whatever came next… was going to change everything again.

Not a breach, but still. Camera 8 – Back Hallway: we fast-forward until the screen flickers. Matt leans in again. “There. Stop.” I pause. Rewind. There it is - the wall slides open. A hidden door. A secret passage we never knew existed. At first, it’s just Sophia. Slipping in and out with her stuff, before her house arrest. This was probably around the time she was still working with my father and Kitty Sun. Then… weeks of silence. I almost skip forward when the door swings open again. But this time, it’s not Sophia. A flood of men burst through - unmistakably Bratva.

At the far end of the hall, their new neighbor’s door was cracked open—just enough to spill voice, laughter, and music into the hallway like an invitation and a warning at the same time. Her mother sighed. “Oh great. Party neighbors.” Ruby wasn’t listening. Her eyes had caught something—someone. A boy stepped out onto the balcony next door, the one directly connected by only a narrow wall to the balcony of their new apartment. The dying sunlight caught him perfectly: messy black hair, silver chain glinting, a confident, careless way he leaned over the railing. He laughed at something someone said behind him, but his eyes slid up for a split second—meeting Ruby’s.

My heart was slamming against my chest, and it was the only sound in the tense quiet. "The cash is counterfeit! "You think you can play me? I'll end you!" A kick landed hard on my gut, and a metallic taste filled my mouth. I could not help it—I chuckled. "You think this is funny? Boys, finish him!" Out came the knives and bats, and it was obvious these guys were no strangers to violence. Right then, Vonn slipped into the kitchen, grabbed a paring knife, and came at me. She looked like she was about to slice my throat.

*MY NEXTDOOR NEIGHBOR TURNS OUT TO BE A SERIAL KIDNAPPER, AND I'M A LIVING WITNESS,* the headline would read. But that would be in her dreams; the iciness in his topaz eyes spoke volumes of that. Denying that her teeth weren't chattering in fright from being alone with this ruthless neighbor of hers was a fat lie. Though, he didn't have to know. Especially how her walls were clenching beneath her. She felt the burn and the slickness mix at a time like a deranged slut getting off at the foreplay of a vulgar client. “I'd believe you better if you promised to bury me. Besides, I'm not leaving the little girl behind.” Despite the tremor in her legs, she raised her chin in defiance.

Annie asked me. I nodded. “Yes. Only a very powerful witch or wizard would be aware of the spell and could break it.” “That is so cool,” Annie whispered, looking at me amazed. “Thank you,” I said and gave her a big smile. She smiled back and looked down at her hands, suddenly shy. I could see her blush and I thought that was so cute. Nick came back into the living room and handed me my beer. “What took you so long?” I asked him. “My mom called,” he said. “I told her what happened at the club.”

I can’t do that. As I read, I search for alternative ways to break the curse and rid the magic of its toxic effects. Leaning in closer, I notice a small asterisk leading me to a footnote at the bottom of the page. Relief floods through me as I absorb the words. This could be the solution we’ve been seeking. It may even surpass the effectiveness of all those sacrifices and gruesome rituals. “Have you found something, girl?” Hilda interrupts, yanking me out of my book-induced trance. A smile graces my face as I respond, “Please don’t smudge your face on my books.” Hilda seems exceptionally grumpy today, but I choose to overlook her attitude – it’s just how she is. Instead, I hand her the book
