Chapter: Chapter 152Rae’s povWhen the car pulled up to the graveyard, I was met with silence not that I was surprised the graveyard always felt like a peaceful sanctuary. “I will be back soon!” I told the guards as I climbed down slowly from the car.My shoes made a soft sound against the gravel as I walked, it grew louder when increased my steps. I stood close to Jace’s stone, idly staring at the withered flowers that clung to it. My eyes suddenly moved to the sky which had gotten darker. I watched as the once bright clouds turned grayish like it was harboring rain.I didn’t know if this was a sign that it was about to rain or a sign that Madame Rain was coming.I hoped it was the second. The last thing I wanted was to deal with rain, which would stop me from achieving my mission.I sighed, pulling my eyes from the sky, and back to my surroundings. My eyes scanned the field of tombstones, noticing how the ground looked forgotten, like death itself was tired of remembering who it took. ‘Where was

Chapter: Chapter 151Von’s pov“I want that street properly investigated!” I barked, my voice echoing off the stone walls of the palace. “If a murder has taken place there twice, then it’s a sign that something shady is going on. I don’t want any more lives lost because we were too blind to see the pattern.”The head guard nodded sharply, scribbling something in his ledger. The others around the table exchanged tense glances, and I could feel the an uneasy feeling growing in the room. The pack had become chaotic the second me and Rae left for our vacation. My guards had reported the death of two people along a familiar street, the minute Rae and I drove in. I couldn’t help but arrange a meeting quickly trying to get to the bottom of things.“Is that the only thing that has happened?” I asked, scanning each face, as I pulled myself out of my thoughts. My eyes landed on Aemond who quickly stood on his feet He hesitated before speaking. “I don’t want to alarm you, Your Majesty,” he said slowly. “Everyone

Chapter: Chapter 150 Von"Tell me!" Anna said with an impatience tone. “I need answers.”I had no idea what she was inquiring my mind had drifted off the second she started speaking.These days, I was always disconnected from my body, lost in my mind, and reality always felt like it was slipping from my grasp.“Rae…” Anna dragged, her voice was loud and demanding.I blinked, taking in the garden that surrounded us. If it was any other day, I would have found this place serene but right now, nowhere felt serene.“Do you think it’s going to be a boy or a girl?” she repeated, leaning in as she sipped from her juice.I exhaled and leaned forward too, elbows resting on my thighs. “Von wants the baby to be a boy.”She grinned. “I figured he would. Men always want sons at first. But…” She paused dramatically, wagging a finger at me. “What you want matters too.”I shrugged slightly. “It’s not about what I want. It’s also not about what he wants too.”Anna rolled her eyes. “Oh please. My mom always says women have

Chapter: Chapter 149RaeI stirred slowly, as I took in the world around me. My lashes fluttered, and when my vision adjusted, the first thing I saw was Von, sitting by my side with his hand wrapped gently around mine.“How… how did you get here?” I asked, and my voice sounded scratchy and weak.Von immediately leaned forward, his thumb stroking my wrist. “Shhh, don’t stress yourself,” he said softly. “Just… relax, Rae. I’m here.”I blinked at him, confused, trying to sit up. “Why are you suddenly caring about me now?” I asked, bitterness slipping through my tone before I could stop it. “You didn’t seem to care before…”He looked down for a moment, almost ashamed. “I know,” he said. “I shouldn’t have acted the way I did. I was so… caught up in everything. Frustrated. Blinded. And it nearly cost me you.”His voice cracked slightly, and he reached out to brush a stray hair from my face.“I should’ve thought,” he whispered. “But instead, I acted. And that was a mistake. I’m sorry, Rae.”“It’s fine…” I murmur

Chapter: Chapter 148 Von Anna’s scream cut through the quiet morning like a knife through glass. I dropped the papers I was reading and bolted from the study. The sound hadn’t come from far. I met her halfway down the hall, her face contorted in panic. “What happened?” I asked, already bracing for the worst. “I’ve been trying to get Rae to come out of her room,” she said breathlessly. “It’s been a day! She won’t answer me, and she hasn’t eaten anything. I’m worried—really worried.” “She’s sulking,” I replied coldly. “Let her sulk.” Rae was angry at me and knew she was only doing this for attention. She wanted me to stop searching and I know she feels that by pulling off this stunt she would manage to convince me, but that wasn’t going to work. I was almost close to finding Madame Rain. I drew myself out of my thoughts and I turned to look at Anna. “Let her sulk,” I repeated. “Return to your kitchen duties.” Anna shook her head with tears in her eyes. “It’s more than that! You didn’t see her

Chapter: Chapter 147RaeTwo days had passed, and there was still no word. No sign. No trace of Madame Rain.She had vanished, just as mystically as she had appeared—like fog evaporating at dawn. I wasn’t surprised by this but Von on the other hand was losing his mind.He wouldn’t stop searching for her. He wouldn’t stop yelling at guards every time they returned and they told him they couldn’t find her.He would call them lazy, and then threaten them. He rarely slept close to me at night. He spent most nights in the study, going over the maps checking the spots that the guards might have missed.One night, I had climbed out of bed and found him, sitting in the study all alone.“Hey!” I said stepping inside.“Hey!” He responded not looking up at me.“I miss you!” I began but all he did was hummed.His reaction felt like a slap to my face, but I masked my emotions.“It’s pretty late!” I continued.“I’m busy. I will come to bed shortly.” His eyes remained on the desk.“You can’t continue doing this Von.”

Tied To The Mafia Boss
“I know you want me.” Damien said in a deep hoarse voice.
I turned to look at him. “I can never want a ruthless man like you.”
“Your eyes are telling a different story Alison.” Damien said, taking a step forward.
I took a step backward but Damien had stopped me, his hands traveling across my dress. My breathe hitched in my throat as his hands paused.
“Your body is saying a different story.” Damien leaned closer. “You can’t resist me Alison.”
“I—“ my voice cracked. At that moment I realized he was right.

Chapter: Chapter 109Damien "You told me this was going to be a fast operation," I said, my frustration spilling over as I watched Hernando walk out of his study.I had been waiting, and waiting, and waiting for news from Henry, and I was beginning to lose my patience.Hernando didn’t even look at me as he adjusted the cuffs of his sleeve. "It is. You need to calm down, Damien," he said as he continued his slow stride across the hall. "It has been a week, Hernando," I shot back. "It’s been a damn week. How much longer are we supposed to wait for this job to be done?"He finally stopped walking and turned to face me, that typical smile playing on his lips. "The job will be done. You’re just too impatient." His tone was infuriatingly casual as if he couldn’t understand the gravity of the situation."I can’t calm down," I muttered, more to myself than to him. This wasn’t just about a job. It was about Alison.I couldn’t sit still and wait forever, not when every passing minute felt like it was slipping awa

Chapter: Chapter 108Alison I waited for the next group activity, hoping I’d see Henry again. When Friday finally came, I was basking in joy. The minute the door opened my eyes landed on nurse Mary.“Come!” She instructed and I followed. The guard took his position beside us as we began to walk, but when crossed an open door another nurse called Nurse Mary’s attention.“Is there a problem?” Nurse Mary asked.She nodded. “Yes, and It’s about her.”Immediately she said that Nurse Mary stepped inside. I tensed the minute she shut the door. Why did that nurse want to talk about me? Did she know about the letter that Henry gave me?As those thoughts filled my mind, my curiosity grew.I could feel my heart rate increase, the anxiety crawling up my spine. I needed to know what they were saying, but their words were muffled by the door.I casually leaned against the door, pretending to rest, but every fiber of my being was focused on trying to catch even a snippet of their conversation. It was no use, though.

Chapter: Chapter 107Damien The second our jet touched down on the rooftop helipad of the penthouse.My eyes landed on Raul. He was strolling casually across the stone path leading toward the private entrance, but the moment his eyes caught mine, he froze.He looked like he had just seen a ghost. Raul threw his hands over his eyes, wiping them off and after he pulled them aside I saw the look on his face widen.“Unbelievable!” He muttered loud enough for only him to hear. My excellent mouth-reading skills made it so easy for me to read his lips.Suddenly, I watched as he turned, and it seemed he was ready to bolt.“Don’t run, Raul,” I called out, in a loud voice that I was sure could be heard beyond the penthouse walls. “There’s no point.”He stopped mid-step. I watched as his shoulders tensed, and his head hung low. For a moment, he didn’t turn around. Then slowly, reluctantly, he pivoted to face me. His eyes were glassy like he was choking on regret. “None of this was my fault,” he mouthed, this time

Chapter: Chapter 106Alison After what happened with Mabel, everything changed. They said it was for my safety, but it felt more like punishment—like they wanted to strip me of whatever little grasp I still had on reality. I was confined to my room like a prisoner, only allowed out once a week for group activities. That was the only time I saw other patients. The rest of the week? Solitude. Silence. Staring at the same ceiling until it looked like it was breathing. I missed the things that helped me stay sane. Painting. Movement. Even meaningless chatter with Nurse Mary before I knew what was behind that mask of kindness. Now, all of that was gone, and the weight of isolation pressed down on my chest. And then there was Damien. My mind wandered to him more often than it should have. Was Mabel telling the truth? Had Aiden’s men really caught him?Fear crawled up my spine whenever I let myself believe she might have been right. I felt so far away from everything. Forgotten. Alone. “Alison!” Nur

Chapter: Chapter 105Von “How did you find me?” My voice came out as a whisper, strained and rasped from the panic that had been choking me for hours.Hernando leaned against the car, arms crossed, the door still half open behind him. He acted so calm as if he hadn’t just ambushed me. As if he hadn’t just shattered the only hope I had left for freedom.“Did Raul tell you I escaped?” I asked, my voice rising, as my shocking look turned to curiosity.Hernando’s gaze flicked to the dark street, then back to me. He stepped forward, his face covered by the low streetlight.“I didn’t need Raul to tell me,” he said, in a firm tone. “I have security cameras planted in every corner of my estate. I saw it all play out, Damien.”My fists clenched at my sides. Fuck! When didn’t I think of that? I should have known that an estate like that would have cameras everywhere.“You trusted the wrong person,” he added. “Raul isn’t as clever as you gave him credit for.”A deep, frustrated groan tore from my throat. I turned a
