From Truth To Lies Chapter 18
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 “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

Nyx's Pov “Six Hundred One Thousand Dollars!” “Seven Hundred Thousand!” Bids rang throughout the auction house and the more they spoke, the more I got scared. “Nine Hundred Thousand!” Someone bidded and everyone went silent. My eyes immediately went to who had bidded and my eyes widened. “Nine Hundred Thousand going once… twice…” “N… no. You… You can't give me to him!” I screamed, turning my head to stare at the Auction Master, “You can't give me to him!” I struggled to get up, trying to rush towards him but it was no use. I was held down, pushed to the ground, my knees hitting the ground with a painful thud. With fear and wide eyes, I stared at the fat bellied man with horror coursing through my veins. No, this couldn't be. I can't be given to him!“Going thrice! She has been sold at Nine Hundred Thousand!” A roar of approval erupted from the crowd as the gavel came down with a decisive thud, sealing my fate. My heart felt like it was going to burst out of my chest. I clawed a

Nyx's Pov “Who… Who the hell are you?” Gary spat, trying to regain his composure, though the tremor in his voice betrayed him.The man didn’t respond at first, simply raising an eyebrow as he reached into his suit jacket and pulled out a sleek handgun. Gary's courage faltered and was replaced by shock, sweat dripping down his forehead. He swallowed hard, his eyes darting between the stranger and the gun. The man finally spoke, his voice smooth as silk but laced with steel.“You’ve taken something that doesn’t belong to you.” He said, his eyes narrowing as he took a step forward, “And I’m here to collect it.”Gary’s eyes flicked to me, and he sneered, a desperate laugh bubbling up from his throat, “This girl? She’s mine. I bought and paid for her so she's mine!”The stranger’s expression hardened, and without a form of hesitation, he aimed the gun at Gary’s leg and fired. The sound of the shot echoed through the air, and Gary screamed as he crumpled to the ground, clutching his bleedi

Nyx's Pov Alden kept his eyes on the road, and I leaned back slightly, wondering what he had to do with me. He had found me even before I was able to find him. Alden Black Lombardi. A ruthless mafia lord who killed with cruelty and didn't care about anything else other than what he wanted to do. Gary was supposed to lead me to him, but instead, he was killed and I was captured by this guy instead. So, obviously there was going to be a change of plans. The car ride felt endless, the city lights flickering like fleeting memories as they streaked past the windows. Yeah… Memories. They began to resurface in my head. Three years ago, I was captured by a mafia gang and sold to another gang. I was ten at that time, and I had to fight for my life amongst the other girls. Older, more ruthless girls who had been there for a very long time. Some of them had gotten pregnant, some of them had been killed off. The situation I was in was either you survive, or you die. A situation that most of u

Nyx's Pov Helena struck first, her weapon slicing across one man’s throat in a blur of movement. The second man reached for his gun, but I was faster. I lunged at him, driving my blade into his chest. His eyes widened in shock as he crumpled to the floor. The third man tried to run, but Helena threw a knife she snatched from a dead guy, hitting him squarely in the back. He fell face-first, the bottle of whiskey shattering on his face. We armed ourselves quickly, grabbing as many weapons as we could carry. The chaos in the courtyard was our opportunity. Victor was too busy playing the role of executioner to notice us creeping behind the line of guards. “Now.” Helena whispered. We opened fire. The sound of gunshots echoed through the compound, and screams erupted as guards and prisoners alike scrambled for cover. Helena was ruthless, her shots precise and deadly. I wasn’t as skilled, but my anger made up for it. Every pull of the trigger was a release, every fallen guard a

Nyx's Pov “Hm.” Alden hummed lightly, reaching out to hold my wrist. He pulled me closer and then leaned down, wrapping his arms around the curve of my waist and with one strong movement, he pulled me closer to him. I stiffened for a moment, caught off guard by the sudden closeness. His eyes gleamed with something unreadable, but I could see the shift in his demeanor, a man who was never afraid, now calculating his next move.“Play along.” He whispered, so quietly it was barely a breath.Before I could question him, his voice rang out, loud.“Princess…” He said, the word dripping with affection, “You’re far too stubborn for your own good, but I wouldn’t have you any other way.”My eyes widened in realization, I caught on quickly and forced a smile, leaning into his chest.“You think flattery will get you anywhere, darling?” I said, my voice light and teasing, though my heart pounded in my chest.His lips curved into a smirk, his grip tightening around my waist. He was strong, too st

Nyx's Pov “Well… Um…” I stammered, the corner of my lips twitching at the sudden question, “I grew up with that habit. The thing is, as a child, my father owed a lot of debts from gambling and stuff like that. So many times, my mother and I were taken by loan sharks and those my father owed money to. I was able to figure out when someone was coming or hiding to get us despite how quiet they were. It's just an instinct that I grew up with.” Alden's eyes narrowed at me, but he didn't say a word, he still kept that infuriating smile on his lips. “You… Don't believe me?” I questioned softly, almost tearfully in fact, “If you don't believe me, then…” “Who said anything about not believing you, princess? I believe you, really.” Alden cut me off, giving me a closed eye smile that clearly said, ‘No, I don't believe you’. My heart sank. This guy would be hard to deal with… But nevertheless, I already knew that before coming here. I masked my thoughts with a tearful smile, scurrying backwa

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
From Truth To Lies Chapter 14
Chapter 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
From Truth To Lies 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

Note: There is sexual assault in this chapter. If this is a trigger for you, please you can skip this. Nyx's Pov “Let go of me!” I screamed at him, letting my broom fall to the ground as another one grabbed me roughly, this time, pressing my boobs with his calloused hands. I felt a wave of nausea washed through me but I swallowed it down forcefully. “Don't be like that, hm? What is a pretty thing like you doing, hm? Sweeping the ground? How about you come with me and serve me, you wouldn't have to do menial work like this anymore. I'll take care of you like the flower that you're supposed to be.” He said, bringing his face close to mine, his stinky breath fanning my face. I made a look of disgust, turning my head away from him. Three others gathered around me but the drug cartel did nothing, he was merely staring at me. “Let go of me! Let go!” I continued to struggle against them as they went further. Another placed his hands on my stomach, directly on top of my v-line. I gas

Nyx's Pov “Mhm…” I groaned in pain, opening my eyes to see Alden and someone else I had no idea who he was standing beside my bed. The both of them were talking, my eyes were ringing so it was quite hard to hear what they were saying, however, I could make out the words, ‘punish’, ‘Renata’. Were they going to punish Renata? That's not good, I needed her for my plan. If she was gone, then there was no one I was going to use anymore. I made another sound to alert them that I had woken up, and tried to get up from the bed but a sting of pain went through my shoulders. “You should not be standing up.” Alden saidz towering over me. He crossed his arms, his ruby eyes staring so intensely that I thought he was going to pull my soul out, however, I couldn't stop looking at his eyes. “They are really pretty.” I thought, still staring at him. “What's pretty?” Alden questioned. “Your eyes. They're really… pretty…” I trailed off, my eyes widening after realising what I said. Why did I say my

Alden's Pov“Nyx!” I yelled her name when she suddenly fell from the staircase, rushing towards her to catch her before her head hit the ground. She fell into my arms, breathing heavily. Her face was pale and her whole body was shaking. “What the hell happened to you?!” I questioned harshly, picking her up. She weighed nothing, as light as a feather. Was she malnourished as well?! With huge movements, I stormed up the staircase, cradling her limp body in my arms. My jaw was clenched so tightly that it ached, and my mind raced with questions. How had she ended up in this state and who dared to push her to such extremes. When I reached her room, I pushed the door open with my shoulder. The sight that greeted me made my blood boil. Renata was lounging comfortably in a chair by the window, her feet propped up on a stool as if she owned the place. She popped a grape into her mouth and chewed loudly and obnoxiously. Without looking, she scoffed, "I hope you're not coming in here to laze
