From Truth To Lies
His hand clamped around my chin, rough and unrelenting, sending a sharp ache through my jaw. His eyes bored into mine, dark and merciless, as if he could strip away my very soul. “You belong to me now,” he snarled, his voice low and venomous. My heart hammered in my chest, each beat a desperate plea to escape.

Nyx Caprienne was feared by all, known as “The Queen of Death.” A mercenary without equal, she moved like a shadow, silent and lethal, leaving destruction in her wake.
Her latest mission was simple. To hunt down a man who seemed untouchable. A man drenched in blood and power, his name whispered with fear. To Nyx, he was just another target. Another job.
But this time, fate turned the game against her.
This man was more than she’d anticipated. Beneath his wealth and charm was something far darker, a predator who thrived on chaos. He wasn’t just dangerous; he was the devil himself.
And now, Nyx was caught in his web, realizing too late that this was a fight she might not survive.

Chapter: Chapter 18Nyx's Pov And just like I said earlier, Alden was going to use this chance to make me regret my words. “Nyx, wake up! Master Alden is waiting for you!” Someone shook me awake roughly. I groaned, burying my face into my pillow in an effort to throw off the fly that was disturbing me. It didn't work though as Renata continued to shake me. Angrily, I stood up, “I'm awake! I'm awake, alright?! Jeez.” I muttered, turning my head towards the doors and then promptly froze. Alden was there, leaning on the door, one of his hands resting on the door while the other held a box. “A… Alden.” I stammered, my eyes clearing instantly. “Hello there.” He came into the room fully with a devilish smile. If there was something I had noticed about Alden, it was that smile of his. Whenever he wanted to do something mischievous, he always held that smile. “You… What are you doing here?” I questioned, shifting to come down from the bed. His presence screamed bad news. “Is that anyway to talk to the pe

Chapter: Chapter 17Nyx's Pov “I'm curious as well, can I also know why you like me because I remember that it's only been a few days since you've been here.” Alden came into the room fully, an amused smirk on his face, his arms crossed. My heart nearly stopped when he spoke and I could feel my pulse racing as I fought to keep my expression neutral. I bit my lips, cursing in my head. Why did this guy have to come now? “Master Alden.” Renata stammered, bowing deeply. Her earlier courage evaporated instantly, leaving her visibly trembling, “I… I didn’t realize you were here.”“Oh, don’t mind me.” Alden drawled, his tone deceptively light as he stepped into the room, “I was just passing by when I overheard something very intriguing.”His gaze locked onto mine, sharp and calculating, and I felt my stomach twist. Of course, he would catch me in the most humiliating moment imaginable.“Well, Nyx?” He said, his voice smooth but laced with menace, “You ‘like’ me, don't you? May I know the reason why I'm sudde

Chapter: Chapter 16Nyx's Pov I opened the doors to my room, my feet stopping when I saw Renata lounging on the chair as always. I never saw this woman except when she came to my room. These days, she was doing everything she could to avoid me. I frowned, did I really give her that much of a scare? But… If she had been handpicked to come here and serve me, then she should know a thing or two about Alden, right? And maybe how to get into his room? “Hm… Renata, I have a question to ask you.” I asked in a bubbly voice, my eyes gleaming in excitement. She stood up from the chair instantly, her eyes darting around the room. She wanted to leave. “If you're this scared of me then why did you come to my room? However, I didn't do anything to make you scared of me so why are you trying to run every time you see me? It makes me sad, Renata.” I said, my eyes twitching. “You…” She pointed her withered fingers at me, her hands trembling. I walked towards her, placed my hands on her shoulders and pressed her do

Chapter: Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Nyx's Pov “W… What's this place? You… What are you doing?” I asked, raising my hands to clamp on my lips as I resisted the urge to throw up. Alden's smile only widened at my reaction, his eyes narrowing in amusement, “This?” He gestured to the scene around us, the blood splattered walls, the tortured men writhing on the cold, concrete floor, “This is where I deal with people who fail me. And as you can see, failure is never tolerated here.” My throat went dry, my heart hammering in my chest. I’d heard of Alden's cruelty, but seeing it first hand was something else entirely. The screams of the men sent shivers down my spine. How could anyone do this? How could he? He tilted his head, studying me like a specimen under a microscope, “Are you not going to throw up, Nyx? I thought someone as delicate as you might find this unsettling.” I blinked, trying to maintain my composure despite the bile rising in my throat, “No.” I said, my voice steady despite the panic I felt

Chapter: Chapter 14Chapter 14 Nyx's Pov I paced around in my room, biting my fingernails with fire burning in my heart. I could barely control myself from flinging myself at that man and tearing him to pieces. “This is bad. This is really bad.” I muttered under my breath, my fingers flexing. I had gone on a lot of other missions before, like infiltration of the President's Mansion, Killing a Drug Lord and I have never lost my cool like this. Well, you can't blame me, no one has ever touched me in that manner and left with their lives or their limbs intact. I rushed towards the windows, opening the curtains slowly so it wouldn't make a noise, craning my neck and looking down. “They aren't there anymore.” I grumbled, leaning against the window frame one last time, squinting into the yard below. No sign of Alden or the men who had dared to touch me. The yard was eerily quiet, save for the faint rustling of leaves, “What a bummer. I wanted to see what Alden would do to them with my own eyes.” I pouted

Chapter: Chapter 13 Alden's Pov Screams of pain and torture rang throughout the whole place. Rows upon rows upon rows of cells scattered throughout the whole place, blood splattering on the walls. It was a place that reeked of death and pain. This was my world, a realm of punishment and control, and every broken cry reminded me that I was its master.It was beautiful, really. Their screams, I meant. Seven men were behind me, six standing, one on the ground, gurgling blood out of his mouth, one of his hands thrown to the side, his knees broken. He was the man who had cummed on Nyx's back. He wasn't dead from blood loss yet, though it shouldn't take much time. The remaining six men were shivering, goosebumps arising on their skin. Taking a bottle of whiskey from the table, I popped it open, the sound filling the entire place, “So… Where is it?” I asked, pouring a generous amount of whiskey into a bottle and placing it near my lips, smiling when the aroma hit me. “S… Sir… It was… It's been delivered ju

Chapter: Chapter 179 The End.... Or is it?"Yes. I think that works better." Micheal replied to Esme and then waved goodbye. He sent people to ambush Sebastian and the other two wherever they wanted to land.John had already found ways to implicate the church as well. Since they were also involved in the building of Mamba and the killings of all those children, they were bound to be punished as well. Scarlett and Leonard had fished out all of the traitors surrounding their organizations immediately after Jamarion was rescued and taken to the hospital. Now the organization was in reform and rebuilding. Everything was coming to an end so fast that Esme still thought she was dreaming. ONE WEEK LATEREsme and Izayah walked hand in hand to the place where they held Sebastian and the other two. The cell was so dark and dreary. It was just like the cell that held Esme in, in her past. The sound of chains rattling echoed throughout the corridors and it felt like a heavy burden on Esme's heart. She was finally going to meet the pe

Chapter: Chapter 178 Towards The End Part 2 "Crap!." Sebastian angrily cleared all the papers from his table and without even looking at the papers.The headquarters was thrown into a state of disarray. They were suddenly attacked by external forces. How their location was even found was still a baffling thought to him. He quickly put everything that he deemed reusable or important into his bag and held it with one hand. Without further ado, he went to the secret room and opened the closet where he held Number Seven hostage.Her body was already dried up and withered. Even the liquid thst he had been trying to extract had turned into a big pile of goop. "Mr Sebastian, we have to leave now! The lower floor has already been destroyed. It won't take long for them to reach here." "Alright. Let's go!." Sebastian hit a red button. It's the control switch for a sprinkler. However, it wasn't the normal water sprinkler. A white gas emitted from the sprinklers onto the ground and anything the gas touched melted and was destroyed, incl

Chapter: Chapter 177 Towards The Ending "Mom?.""Come over here, Zeke. Just give her some space." Rielle motioned for Zeke to come closer, but instead of paying attention to what his mother was saying, Zeke wrapped his hands more tightly around Esme's shoulders, to the point that it began to harm her."Zeke, you should listen to your mother. You're not going to tell me that you've turned into a defiant person who disobeys her, are you? I have always emphasised to you how important it is to pay attention to your mother and to never disregard her instructions, no matter what it is that she wants you to do." Esme gargled her words in silence.This person is not Zeke. There is no way that it is Zeke.Esme's gaze travelled all around the living area. She was looking for something that she could use to get herself out of the situation.If the person who is holding her is not Zeke, then it must be someone that Mamba has sent over to keep an eye on them both. It's possible that their faces are just masks.Her attention was drawn to

I will be patiently awaiting your reassuring words, Miss Esme. Stay safe and be careful." It's not that Esme wished to say anything, but it seemed as though the man knew that she would not reply to him no matter what he said, so he hung up the phone before she could say anything.A string of notifications began arriving in Esme's inbox not long after that. When she first opened the documents, her mouth dropped open in surprise, and her hands began to shake as she read about everything that Master Xander had done throughout his years of hiding. Esme was so incensed that she was only just able to stifle the yell of anger that was about to explode out of her throat for a moment longer.As if assisting Mamba in completing those tasks wasn't enough, Master Xander had to go and add even more!She continued reading, but that was

Chapter: Chapter 175 Help From Another Place"It is possible that she is the traitor. It would be wise for you to suggest to your mother that she check in with that woman and find out what she has been up to recently. If she is in fact the one who leaked the information about Jamarion being sent on a mission, then catching her off guard will be an effective approach to determine whether or not she is the culprit. Perhaps she even has some idea of the location to where he was taken to." Esme suggested to Izayah, and he reflected on what Esme had just said. Her concerns were valid, but he couldn't help but wonder how she was aware of all of these things."If you are curious about how I knew what I did, it's because I talked to someone who filled me in on a lot of details and gave me some explanations. Please put your faith in me regarding this, and look into your mother's organization. It's possible that a large number of traitors are hiding out in that location. Always err on the side of caution instead than regret.""Then we're

Chapter: Chapter 174 Jamarion was Kidnapped "Brother, may I use your phone if it's okay with you? I need to get in touch with Miss Esme, I have something to tell her." When Jeremy brought out his phone and offered it to Princess, she immediately reached out with both of her chubby little palms to grab it.Princess dialled Esme's number in a hurry, and it didn't take her more than two rings to pick up the phone when it rang."Jeremy?""It's not brother. My name is Princess." She said to Esme, who took a momentary hesitation before letting out a chuckle."Is that why you wanted to speak with me? You wanted to tell me your name?" The tone of Esme's voice was soothing, yet it also had a playful element to it."Yes... I mean no. I have something else to tell you. The road we were on when we met today will take us through the same location again tomorrow.""Am I going to have any issues?""I failed to mention that Mamba had also placed some personnel there in order to keep an eye on you.

Chapter: Chapter 11“Miss Naomi.” “Ugh…” Naomi groaned, turning around to sleep on her side. “Miss Naomi, it's time for you to wake up.” Eva shook Naomi's shoulders lightly, calling out her name softly. Naomi's eyes opened instantly and she stared at Eva with fear in her eyes. However, when she realised who it was, she calmed down, a small smile on her face. “What time is it?” Naomi questioned, rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand. “It's 9 am. The Master said not to wake you up as you slept late last night.” Eva answered, holding Naomi's arm as she stepped off the bed. It's been three months since Naomi started staying with Zade, she had begun seeing Dr Marianne Evans, her therapist. Although it had been really slow, Naomi was beginning to not flinch every time Zade touched her. It was different for outsiders, however, not Zade. “Where is he?” Naomi stood up from the bed, stretching and yawning. She sighed in satisfaction when someone pops sounded in the room, her tense muscles loosening. This

Chapter: Chapter 10Chapter 10 Naomi stared at Zade for a while, she was trying to determine just what he was thinking, not that she could but she wanted to try, though it didn't take her anywhere. “I'll let you think about it for a while. For now, I have something that I have to tell you, you can sit down over there.” Zade pointed to the farthest sofa away from him, but she could still hear him closely. “I've received news about Allen,” Zade began, watching as Naomi tensed up, her body trembling, “He's searching for you as we speak, he has his eyes on the whole city.” Naomi's heart pounded in her chest, her pulse quickening at the mere mention of Allen’s name. She forced herself to sit on the sofa Zade had pointed to, her legs feeling weak beneath her, “He’s… looking for me?” She managed to choke out, her voice barely a whisper. The room seemed to close in around her, the walls pressing in tighter as fear took hold.Zade’s eyes didn’t leave her. “Yes,” He said calmly, too calmly, as if this wasn’t t

Chapter: Chapter 9Chapter 9 “So which one do you want? My body, my heart or my life?” Naomi questioned at that moment, Zade knew that he had to be extremely careful with Naomi. She was too scarred as a human and he didn't even know the extent of it. So Zade decided to take the hard way out. “Naomi, I apologise if I gave you the idea that I needed anything from you, and I definitely do not need what you have just mentioned.” Zade began, his voice low but calm, “I'm a sought after person, mostly between the ladies and even a few men, I don't need a woman like you to pleasure me, that is, I have no interest in your body nor any intention to take your heart and definitely not your life. I am a doctor, I can't take your life away from you.” Naomi’s eyes narrowed at Zade’s words, her fingers trembling slightly as she clenched her hands into fists. She was used to people wanting something from her, her body, her obedience, her silence. His calm rejection of all three made her feel small, like a broken toy

The man shook his head, not saying anything but Allen had realised what he was trying to say. “So… You still haven't found her yet.” He murmured softly, turning around to stare at the windows. He stood up, crouching a little bit over the table, then suddenly, he swept everything off the table with his hands, slamming them on the bare table. “It has been one week and yet you still haven't found her!” Allen's voice was a low growl as he stood there, seething with frustration. His fists clenched, his knuckles white as he glared at the man who dared to deliver the bad news. The room was eerily silent, the remnants of the objects he'd swept off the table scattered across the floor.“Do you not understand what is at stake here?” Allen took a deep breath and said calmly, glancing at the man who shrunk even further. It was no news to them how wicked and ruthless Allen was. Even now, he was trying to silence a wom

How long had it been since she tasted something like this? How was she…“Mmph…” She tried to choke back a sob, but that proved to be a mistake as instead, she choked on her cake. The sudden fit of cough shook her small body, her chest heaving as she struggled to breathe. “Miss Naomi!” Eva yelled in panic, running closer to her while grabbing a glass and filling it up with water from the dispenser. She handed it to Naomi who chugged it down quickly. “You're fine. You're fine.” Eva said slowly, patting Naomi's back, her touch warm and reassuring.But Naomi wasn’t fine. The taste of the cake, something so simple and sweet, had triggered a flood of memories she had fought so hard to bury.

Chapter: Chapter 6 Memories Chapter 6 Memories Naomi sat on her bed, her eyes looking over the huge room that she had been given. It was ten times bigger than the attic she used to sleep in while at Allen’s. She had one question though, “Why is he helping me?” She asked herself. She couldn't still wrap her head around him or his motives for doing what he's doing now. Naomi knew that she had nothing she could give him and a man like Zade could never ask for her body, he had no shortage of women around him. She stood up and walked towards the huge mirror that was at the corner of her room, staring at her reflection. Her face was gaunt and pale, she raised her clothing up to reveal her rib cage and thin waist, thin wrists and the bruises all around her body. Allen had really turned her into a shadow of her own past, her parents had sold her right to the devil, the devil whom she thought she loved. “Haha… I was so stupid.” She chuckled bitterly, the memories of Allen raping her and then throwing he
