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 44Nyx's Pov The picture of Tobias’s body was in the document and the autopsy as well, though it was clear as day. Tobias had died from three slashes to his neck. The depths of the slashed showed that the killer didn't use enough power to slash him but the artery that was cut was precise, too precise. The external carotid artery had been severed in a single, clean motion, allowing the blood to spill out in a controlled flow rather than a jagged, desperate wound. I frowned, leaning in closer. The cut wasn’t just deadly; it was calculated. There was no hesitation, no unnecessary force, no ragged edges where the blade had caught on skin or muscle. Even as an assassin, I knew how hard it was to get a cut this clean. My kills weren’t always neat, I moved quickly, effectively, but there was always some variance in the force behind my blade, the resistance of flesh, the unpredictability of movement. But this? This was perfect. Just too perfect. Alden must have noticed my silence becaus

Chapter: Chapter 43 Author's Pov “Whip him.” A slow, soft command escaped the lips of a teenager who barely looked like one. He was short, so short that you would barely think he was up to eighteen years old, he had sunken eyes but his electric blue eyes glowed in the dark, sending shivers down the spine of everyone whom he stared at. No one dared to meet his eyes. A loud scream echoed in the underground basement, but the boy merely smirked in response as he spoke again, “Are you ready to tell me the truth? Where. Is. She.” He enunciated slowly. “I really have no idea! I'm not lying! She was taken by a man named Gary but we found out that he was killed and she was nowhere to be found. I really don't know where she is now.” The man cried out, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. His entire body was filled with whip marks and burn marks, some were still bleeding, others were an angry purple. “He looks like he is telling the truth. The auction house do not keep track of their goods after it's b

Chapter: Chapter 42Nyx's Pov I continued feeding Alden, alternating between stuffing food into his mouth and taking bites from the same spoon. Yvonne’s stare burned into the side of my head, but I ignored her. Alden, on the other hand, was thoroughly enjoying himself. His cheeks were stuffed like a chipmunk’s, his lips barely able to close around the excessive amount of food I was shoving into his mouth. Every time I scooped up another spoonful, he just opened his mouth expectantly, like some overgrown baby bird. I snorted, “You know, you can use your own spoon.” Alden chewed, swallowed, then smirked, “And miss out on this special treatment? Not a chance.” Yvonne let out a strangled noise from across the table. I finally turned to acknowledge her. She looked like she had just witnessed a murder. Or worse. Like someone had personally offended her entire bloodline. “You two…” She started, her voice slow and careful, “Are insane.” I grinned, deliberately taking another bite before offering A

Chapter: Chapter 41Alden's Pov It was hard. Sleeping on the same bed with this woman, was hard. Because tell me why I'm having a boner in the middle of the night due to her constant wiggling. At first, I did as she wished, spooned her, let her press herself against me, even buried my face in her hair because she smelled annoyingly good. And for a while, I actually managed to sleep. Then, she started moving. At first, it was subtle, just small shifts as she got comfortable. But then, she pushed back against me, her perfect ass pressing right against my... I clenched my jaw. Fine. Maybe it was an accident. Then, she did it again. And again. And again. I cracked open one eye, staring at the ceiling in pure agony. Was she doing this on purpose? No, Nyx was already fast asleep, completely unaware of the torment she was putting me through. I let out a slow breath, trying to will my body to calm down. But then, just as I thought I had control over myself, she threw her leg over my lower a

Chapter: Chapter 40Nyx's Pov Alden muttered something under his breath before walking past me into the room. I followed, already planning all the ways I could make this new sleeping arrangement fun for me and annoying for him.Later that night, the room was dark as all the lights were off, silent except for the faint rustling of fabric as I turned over in bed. Alden was beside me, his breathing steady, his body relaxed in sleep.Then, I heard it.A soft click echoed through the room. My eyes snapped open just in time to see a small mechanical device roll across the floor, stopping near the bed. My muscles tensed, my instincts kicking in. It wasn’t a bomb, there was no beeping, no countdown.Instead, a faint glow pulsed from the device, and a message projected onto the ceiling in red letters."Beware of Helena. She’s not who she says she is. Selene."I stared at the message, my mind racing. Helena? Why Helena? I was so deep in thought, staring at the message, that I didn’t notice Alden shifting beside

Chapter: Chapter 39 Nyx's Pov I frowned. It was about my eyes again... Where my eyes so special? I glanced up at Alden who looked at me with an unfathomable look in his eyes, like he was trying to figure out something. I smirked, now that I had the go ahead to do whatever I wanted with this fine specimen of a human, why shouldn't I take full advantage of it? I trailed my hands down Alden's chest, drawing circles on his lower abdomen, since we were pulled so closely together, I could feel him move and tense slightly and a strangled gasp escaped his lips. His hands shot out to hold mine and trapped my hands in his. "I don't believe you." Yvonne suddenly said, "How come you have a girl suddenly? Why didn't you tell grandfather that before I came here?" Alden’s grip on my hand tightened slightly, his body still tense from my little tease, but when he turned his attention to Yvonne, his entire demeanor shifted. His usual lazy amusement was gone, replaced coldness."And since when do I need to report everyt

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

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.

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.

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.

No, no, no. She wasn’t ready for this. She wasn’t strong enough. The walls of the café felt like they were closing in, suffocating her.A strong, steady hand grasped hers. Zade. That's right, Fiona thought. Zade was here, even if anything went wrong, Zade was here. So Naomi turned around, trying to keep her trembling under control. “You have changed as well.” Naomi said, the corner of her lips pulling into a smile. Fiona looked quite surprised at Naomi's body language, as if she hadn't expected her to reply at all. Her eyes narrowed as she glanced at Zade and then, she blinked. Not once. Not twice. Her lips wide open in shock. Fiona’s eyes raked over Zade, taking in his sharp features

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

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

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

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.
