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

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 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 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 Helena exhaled through her nose, acknowledging the point, “Vasquez is sharp, but he’s not invincible. He can’t monitor everything at once. If we’re careful, casual, we can pull this off.”I hesitated. This plan could either work perfectly or blow up in our faces. If Alden or Vasquez even suspected Helena was more than just a maid, we’d both be screwed.As if reading my thoughts, Helena leaned in slightly, “Look, Nyx. We don’t have many options. Victor is out there, and he’s watching. We need intel, and I need to stay close to you. This is the best way.”I ran a hand through my hair, exhaling sharply, “Fine.”Her grin was immediate, “I knew you’d see reason.”I shot her a glare, “But if this backfires, I’m blaming you.”She laughed, standing up, “That’s fair.”I watched as she smoothed down her uniform, her expression shifting back into her usual mask of cool confidence, “Alright, darling. Time for me to go do actual work before someone starts wondering where I am.”I smirke
