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.

From Truth To Lies Chapter 23
Nyx's Pov My fingers twitched with anticipation. Alden was very careful, secretive, even. He kept things close to his chest, never revealing more than necessary despite me always watching him. But right now, he wasn't here, and I had a rare opportunity. I stepped over the corpses, barely sparing them another glance, and slipped out of my room. The hall was dim, shadows stretching long against the walls, but I moved through them with ease. Alden’s room was at the far end of the hall, the only door that remained firmly locked at all times. Except tonight, when whoever sent those assassins had clearly been inside. I pressed my fingers to the handle and turned. It gave way easily. These guys were amateurs. They didn’t even bother locking it back. Slipping inside, I shut the door behind me, letting my eyes adjust to the darkness. The scent of Alden lingered in the air, subtle, expensive, something sharp beneath it that reminded me of steel and gunpowder. His room was as meticulously

Nyx’s Pov I stared at him for a while, not saying anything. Well, what could I say? It's not like I knew anything about him except for the wife known fact that he was dangerous. “So, are we done here? Or do we still need to stay?” I crossed my arms, glancing around. The women who had tried to bully me were no where to be found and it seemed the party was still in full swing, however, I had no need to continue staying here. “You can leave with the car, I still have work to do here.” Alden waved me away. I nodded, happy to leave. A few hours later, I got back home and it was dark. Really dark. Walking to my room wasn't a hassle since I could see in the dark but I couldn't hear anything or anyone. Not even Renata. I instantly froze, something wasn't right. It was too quiet and it wasn't even late yet, normally, Renata would have come yelling at me and I should have felt the other person's presence but neither of them were here. I frowned and continued walking upstairs to my room, fee

Nyx's Pov "Oh, I apologise for not introducing myself. My name is Carmen Diego, it's nice to meet you, Miss..." I crossed my arms and narrowed my eyes at him, "You know my name. That's why you came up to me, so what do you want?" I asked, going straight to the point. He looked shocked, probably at my words but truth to be told, I wasn't in any mood to exchange pleasantries with someone I didn't know and didn't want to know. He had no part in my mission so him getting angry and leaving would be a great benefit to me. Contrary to my thoughts and hopes, the man instead let out a chuckle that clearly showed he was amused. "Of course, you're not like the other women here, Miss Nyx, Alden's date." The man continued, eyeing me. I could feel a bunch of other people's eyes on me but I ignored them, focusing solely on the man in front of me. For some reason, he didn't exude a good vibe. My eyes hardened at his words, the mention of Alden's name immediately putting me on edge. “And what does

Nyx's Pov "Did you throw yourself at him and beg him to bring you here? What did you offer him? Your body? A country bumpkin like you has no right to be here!" The blonde one yelled, anger in her eyes. "And you do?" I set my glass down with deliberate care, letting the tension settle between us like an invisible weight. Their sneering faces, overly painted with makeup and smug superiority, didn’t intimidate me, instead they amused me. Women like these could easily fall with just one move from me, I didn't even need to work much. How dare they speak to me this way? "You're asking?" A brunette said, raising her head up. She looked like a peacock who was trying to find a mate, "My father is a popular man here, I am one person who has a chance with Master Alden and not a rat like you." “Oh, is that what you think?” I replied, tilting my head and giving them a sweet smile that didn’t reach my eyes, “How interesting. Tell me, do you all always assume things so quickly, or is it just ins

Alden's Pov The warehouse was cold, and the air was filled with the metallic scent of blood and iron and powder. I kept my face blank as I stared at the rows and rows of bags in front of me. They were bags filled to the brim with enough cocaine to paint a whole town white. I couldn't help the smirk that arose on my face at the beautiful sight of them. "Master Alden, there are six hundred bags of cocaine in total inside the warehouse, we have counted them already. Should we start supplying them to the customers?" I shook my head, "No. Keep them scarce, release only a bit into the market and when they are done with it, let them come begging for it with their highest offers. As of now, we also do not want to have the police's eyes on us. It'll be troublesome to evade their questions. Once this batch finishes, put down more, this time, increase it to a thousand but don't sell them." "Is there a reason why?" "Stupid moron. It's to double the profits! The police have been snagging many

Nyx'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

Nyx'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

Nyx'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 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

Nyx’s Pov “No! Don't take her, please! Please, I'll pay you! I'll do whatever you want, leave my daughter alone, please!” My mother screamed, the corner of her eyes red with tears. Her face was heavily bruised, purple and black. She had been hit with a plank by the loan sharks who had suddenly come to our house. “If you don't shut your mouth, we'll be forced to do worse to you! However, your daughter… She's really pretty” The one who looked like their leader came forward, his sunken eyes leered at me. I shrunk back, my entire body trembling. “Why… Why are you doing this to us? We… We don't owe you anything, we've never borrowed money from you.” I yelled, my voice shaking. The leader sneered, revealing yellowed teeth as he shifted his weight and leaned in closer. His voice was cold, unfeeling. “You don’t know, do you?” He chuckled darkly, the sound echoing through the small room, “Your dear father owes us more than you can imagine. He borrowed money to feed his gambling habit. Whe...
