From Truth To Lies Chapter 31
Nyx's Pov When he finished dressing, I stared at him, the blanket still covering half my face. I was blushing, I knew that, and I didn't want to let him see me blushing. But I was quite curious about something. "Why are you suddenly hiring maids after Renata died? Aren't you scared that someone else might get killed?" I asked innocently. Alden glanced at me for a second with his eyes literally saying, 'Why should I care?'I cleared my throat, "I mean... With what happened before, it's almost inevitable that someone else would get sent here and then she'd just die. She's just a normal human like me." I whispered, pretending to feel down. "She knew what she was signing up for before she came here. Also, if she's not as loud mouthed as Renata, she should be se to surviving for quite a while." He shrugged, acting like we were merely talking about the weather. But wait..."Loud mouthed as Renata? What do you mean?" I sat up instantly, letting the sheets fall to my waist as I stared at

Nyx's Pov I gulped. Dangerous... This man was fucking dangerous for my heart. I shifted back, clearing my throat as I slapped his hands away from a collar of the shirt. "Ahem! Anyways you said something about Renata being loud mouthed, what did you mean by that?" I finally asked the question of I came downstairs for in the first place. Alden shrugged, his expression shifting from teasing to something colder, more calculating, "She talked too much."I frowned, "And?"He let out a slow sigh, rolling his neck as if the conversation bored him, "Renata sold out information about this mansion to the wrong people. That’s how the assassins knew where the cameras were and what the blind spots were."I blinked, "You're saying she was a traitor?" That Renata who was scared of me merely staring at her? That Renata was a traitor? Woah... I couldn't have expected this. Not at all. Alden smirked, but there was no amusement in it, "I'm saying she made a bad deal. She thought she could sell me out

Nyx's Pov The moment the bullets started flying, Selene did something I didn’t expect, she tossed her gun to the ground. I barely had a second to process it before she lunged at me, fists swinging. Oh, she wanted to do this the old-fashioned way? Fine. I sidestepped her first punch, letting it graze past my face before countering with a sharp elbow to her ribs. Selene grunted but recovered fast, spinning and aiming a kick at my head. I ducked, shifting my weight and sweeping her legs out from under her. She hit the ground with a growl, but instead of staying down, she rolled and sprang back up, her eye burning with fury. “I’ve been waiting for this.” She spat, wiping a smear of blood from her lips, “A rematch between the both of us. I remember we did this a long time ago before you got locked up by Victor.”I cracked my neck, loosening my stance, “Then you should’ve trained harder. You have gotten rusty, corn face.” Selene charged again, feinting left before slamming her fi

Nyx's Pov Alden didn’t stop until we reached his room. The door slammed shut behind us, sealing me in with him. His movements were swift, methodical, as he placed me on the bed like I was some fragile thing. I wasn’t. “I don’t need a damn nurse.” I muttered, trying to sit up, but he placed a firm hand on my shoulder, pushing me back down. “Shut up.” He said flatly, moving toward the bathroom. I heard the sound of cabinets opening, glass bottles clinking together before he returned with a first aid kit. He dropped it on the nightstand, then turned to me, “Take off your clothes.” I blinked, then huffed a laugh, “Excuse me?” His gaze was unreadable, his voice steady, “You’re bleeding. I need to see the wound.” I crossed my arms, ignoring the way pain lanced through my side, “Not happening.” Alden exhaled through his nose, clearly out of patience. The next thing I knew, his fingers gripped the hem of the blood-soaked shirt I wore, and before I could react, he yanked it ov

Nyx's Pov Alden came back to the room a few hours later, I could see that he had changed his clothes and his expression had turned serious. He was here for answers then. I threw my legs off the bed, crossing them as I stared at him with a smile, “So? What do you want to know?” “Disregarding the fact that I was the one who brought you here, you must have had a mission regarding me, hm?” “Yup.” “And what was the mission?” “To kill you and bring in whatever information that I was able to take from you.” I answered dutifully. His eyes narrowed a bit, “And who sent you on that mission?” His question made me freeze. That's right… Who sent me on this mission in the first place? I mean Helena was the one who asked me to go on this mission but who sent out the mission first? Why had I never questioned this and instead, went along with what Helena had told me. I must have been so used to doing that, that I didn't even question it so if there was one person who knew who the sender of the

Nyx's Pov I cursed so loudly I was sure the entire damn mansion heard it. My blood was boiling, my fists clenched so tight I could feel my nails biting into my palms.“You fucking bastard. If you want to tell me, then tell me, stop beating around the bush!” I seethed before launching myself at him. My fist swung for his jaw, fast and precise, but Alden moved like a damn shado, fluid, effortless. He sidestepped, catching my wrist mid-air with ridiculous ease. I barely had time to register it before he twisted, forcing me off balance.Shit.I tried to pull back, but he was already a step ahead. In a blink, he maneuvered us, his arm slipping around my waist as he spun me. My back hit something solid, him. I sucked in a sharp breath as I realized the position he had trapped me in. My wrist was still in his grasp, his other hand pressed lightly to my lower back, keeping me pinned to his body. And holy hell, he was warm.I froze, my brain short-circuiting for a second.“You’re awfully aggr

Nyx's Pov"A deal? What sort of deal?" Selene purred, curiosity showing itself in her eyes. Selene was the kind of person who could easily change allegiances as long as it suits her. She had no loyalty, typical of an assassin. Just the kind of person I needed to help me spy on Victor. "You will tell me everything I need to know about Victor and spy on him for me, in return, I'll get you out of here."Selene's smirk faltered for a moment, replaced by something unreadable. Then, she leaned back against the cold stone wall and let out a slow, deliberate exhale. "You don’t get it, Nyx." She muttered, "Victor won’t let me go. If he finds out I turned on him, I’ll be dead before I even see the sun again." I scoffed. "You? Afraid of Victor?" Her eyes darkened. "You should be, too." A flicker of unease crawled up my spine, but I pushed it down. Selene wasn’t wrong. Victor being alive—*somehow*—was already a problem. A problem I needed answers to. "You either rot in this cell, or yo

Nyx's Pov I clenched my fists, heat burning in my face as I realized everyone we passed was pretending not to see this. The bastards. The moment we reached his room, Alden kicked the door open, stepped inside, and, without warning, tossed me onto the bed. I let out a sharp breath as I landed, bouncing slightly against the plush mattress, "You...!"Before I could even sit up, Alden was already on me. His hands planted on either side of my head, caging me in. His weight loomed over mine, his face inches from mine.I swallowed.He wasn’t smirking anymore. His expression was unreadable, but his eyes, they were sharp, assessing."You really thought I wouldn’t notice?" His voice was low, but it sent a chill down my spine.I willed my heart to slow down, meeting his gaze head-on, "It worked, didn’t it?"His lips twitched, but the amusement didn’t reach his eyes, "You’re bold, I’ll give you that."I shrugged, ignoring the way my stomach twisted at his tone, "I do my best."Alden exhaled, slo

From Truth To Lies Chapter 121
Chapter 121 Author's Pov Marcello stood at the head of the long, dimly lit hall, his fingers drumming impatiently against the armrest of his chair as he stared at the other council members who were sitting very quietly on their chairs. The flickering lights cast sharp shadows across his face, emphasizing the irritation in his cold, calculating eyes.The tension in the room was very thick, his subordinates shifting uneasily under his glare. The sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence as one of his guards stumbled in, breathless and shaken."My Lord, I… I have news to report.” The guard panted, bowing deeply as he rushed into the room. Marcello’s sharp gaze pinned him in place, “Speak and be fast about it. Do not waste my time.”The man swallowed hard, “The thing is… We found out that... That Nyx, she has escaped. She knocked out the others and escaped, along with Liam and Yasmin. We can't find those two as well. For a moment, silence hung in the air. Then, with a sudden moveme

Chapter 120Nyx's Pov I stared at Yasmin, blinking, "Your men?"She smirked, "Did you really think I wouldn’t have my own people in this whole situation? The moment I heard that Marcello was coming, I asked some people to infiltrate his guards. I wanted to come and warn you but it was too late, we had already been put into house arrest.” Liam shifted beside her, "Marcello doesn’t know we’ve compromised his men, which gives us the advantage. But we need to move fast. If he realizes something is wrong, he’ll change the security around the mansion."I glanced back at the ongoing fight. Yasmin’s planted guards were making it look real, striking down Marcello’s loyalists and drawing attention away from the inside."Alright, so what’s next?" I asked.“We bypass them and then go to Alden, he should be able to help us take control of the houses back. It won't take long for us to leave the main mansion to the outer part, though it might take longer as the outside may be more guarded than it

Chapter 119 Nyx's Pov“I know but how the hell are you going to leave this place without being spotted. There are men everywhere.” Alexandra muttered furiously. She had been whispering since we started talking about how to escape. I didn't say anything, just motion med towards the window. Cassandra's eyes narrowed, "You're not seriously thinking of escaping through that window, are you?"I walked over to the small, barred window on the far side of the room. It was high up, but nothing I couldn't handle. The bars were old, rusted at the edges. With enough force, they could be broken."I don’t think it. I know it." I turned back to face them, "Stay put. I’ll get myself out."Valeria gave me a doubtful look, "How do you plan to…?"I didn’t answer. Instead, I climbed onto the ledge and pressed my hands against the bars. With a sharp exhale, I pulled. The metal groaned in protest, but I kept going. My arms trembled with the effort, my fingers aching, but then a loud snap and the bar bro

Chapter 118 Nyx's Pov “It's true. What you were thinking… Cassandra is your mother.” Alexandra said, handing me the reports. I opened it quickly, going through it. A smile subconsciously rested in my lips but it was short-lived as Valeria crashed into the hideout as I had come to call it, panic written so vividly on her face. “What's wrong? Why do you look like that?” “They found it! He's back! That person is back!” She said, her voice shaking. “What are you talking about? What did they find? And who is back? Speak clearly and stop going about in riddles, Valeria! Speak!” “They found Aunt Cassandra. Uncle Marcello is back, and he has captured Cassandra.” “What?!” Alexandra turned her head back so fast that it felt like her head was going to fall off her neck, “He wasn't supposed to come back until after everything was over! How did he…?” “Now that's a very good question, isn't it?” Alexandra was cut off by a very unfamiliar voice. I glanced at the person who spoke from the co

Chapter 117 Nyx's Pov “They knew that if my mother had twins, the future of the clan would be secured. The elders would never challenge her reign if there were two heirs ready to take over. But if something were to happen to us…”I exhaled sharply, “Then the succession would be thrown into chaos.”“Exactly.” Cassandra folded her arms, “My uncles, desperate for power, came up with a plan. They wanted to eliminate one of us to weaken my mother’s claim. But something went wrong. My mother found out about the plot but at that moment, due to my father taking control, my mother didn't have enough power so she announced to the clan that only one of us had survived birth. And that ‘one’ was me.”I blinked, “Wait, hold on. She just… hid you?”Cassandra’s lips pressed into a thin line, “I was raised in secret. Hidden away, protected, but also erased. My mother believed that if the clan thought I was dead, my uncles would stop their attempts to kill me. For years, I was a ghost, existing in th

Chapter 116 Nyx's Pov I nearly tripped over my own feet, whipping around so fast I almost gave myself whiplash, “Oh, come on! Can people stop sneaking up on me for one damn minute? I swear, I need to start carrying a bell for you people.”Valeria rolled her eyes, while the Cassandra I knew, or at least, the one I thought I knew, stood beside her, arms crossed, staring at the other Cassandra like she had just found a cockroach in her morning tea.“Okay, okay, timeout.” I raised my hands, “Can someone please explain why there are two Cassandras in this room? Because, last I checked, cloning was not a thing.”The Cassandra I had been speaking to, the one who had tried to murder me with a dagger, mind you, sighed, rubbing her temples, “Honestly, I should have just stabbed you instead of answering questions.”“You tried!” I shot back, “You missed!”The Cassandra I knew, or thought I knew, finally spoke, her voice cold. “I knew I should have had this place sealed off completely.”My eyes
From Truth To Lies Chapter 115
Chapter 115Nyx's Pov I took another step toward the bed, my muscles coiled like a snake waiting to strike. Everything about this room felt wrong. It wasn’t just the fact that there was a bed here, tucked away like someone had been living in secrecy. It was the eerie stillness, it was the way no one had not known about this place. Even though Valeria had shown me this place, I'm pretty sure she hadn't really entered because no matter how stupid she was, if she knew what was in here, she would not have allowed me in. My eyes scanned the room with careful precision, there was no movement or no sound. Yet, every instinct in my body screamed that I wasn’t alone.Then, something caught my attention, a tiny hole in the stone wall that light shone through. I moved toward it cautiously, crouching low until my eye aligned with the opening. I had a perfect, unobstructed view of the council meeting room. Through the hole, I could see the grand mahogany table, the high-backed chairs, everythin
From Truth To Lies Chapter 114
Chapter 114 Nyx’s POVThe café we met was a quiet, tucked-away place, the kind people used for shady dealings and whispered confessions. Dim lighting cast shadows over the small table between me and Valeria, who sat across from me, twirling her straw like a bored child. She hadn’t even touched her drink.I, on the other hand, sipped my coffee slowly, watching her fidget. Valeria must have always been the odd one out in Cassandra’s family, a pawn pretending to be a player. She wasn’t dangerous like her mother, but that didn’t mean she was harmless. However, she took her elegance from her mother. Such a pity that she's not as smart. “You dragged me all the way here, so spill it.” She huffed, crossing her arms, “What do you want, Nyx?”“Technically, I didn't drag you all the way here. You came because you were curious about what I wanted to ask so don't accuse me of what I didn't do.” I tilted my head slightly and before she said anything else, I continued, “A little information. But i
From Truth To Lies Chapter 113
Chapter 113Nyx's Pov “The woman who came to see us didn't drop her name. She was hell bent on us not knowing their name. After Rhea’ escaped, it wasn't until two days later that she came. She asked us a few questions which at the time sounded weird.”“Questions like?” “If she was pregnant before she left. If she had given birth, if she had told us where she was from. It sounded like she was trying to wring all sorts of information from us that she might have told us. We told her half truths so it wouldn't seem like we were lying or they would find us. They eventually let us go with the promise of not telling anyone. Although she didn't tell us her name, I can describe what she looks like to you.” Elena's mother finished. I nodded, giving her the go ahead. “She was tall, looked very young and well taken care of but she was in early thirties, could be in her late twenties as well. She had a mole under her left eye, she had grey eyes as well, though dull and not as pretty as yours.
