Alden's Pov It was hard. Sleeping on the same bed with this woman, was hard. Because tell me why I'm having a boner in the middle of the night due to her constant wiggling. At first, I did as she wished, spooned her, let her press herself against me, even buried my face in her hair because she smelled annoyingly good. And for a while, I actually managed to sleep. Then, she started moving. At first, it was subtle, just small shifts as she got comfortable. But then, she pushed back against me, her perfect ass pressing right against my... I clenched my jaw. Fine. Maybe it was an accident. Then, she did it again. And again. And again. I cracked open one eye, staring at the ceiling in pure agony. Was she doing this on purpose? No, Nyx was already fast asleep, completely unaware of the torment she was putting me through. I let out a slow breath, trying to will my body to calm down. But then, just as I thought I had control over myself, she threw her leg over my lower a

Nyx's Pov I continued feeding Alden, alternating between stuffing food into his mouth and taking bites from the same spoon. Yvonne’s stare burned into the side of my head, but I ignored her. Alden, on the other hand, was thoroughly enjoying himself. His cheeks were stuffed like a chipmunk’s, his lips barely able to close around the excessive amount of food I was shoving into his mouth. Every time I scooped up another spoonful, he just opened his mouth expectantly, like some overgrown baby bird. I snorted, “You know, you can use your own spoon.” Alden chewed, swallowed, then smirked, “And miss out on this special treatment? Not a chance.” Yvonne let out a strangled noise from across the table. I finally turned to acknowledge her. She looked like she had just witnessed a murder. Or worse. Like someone had personally offended her entire bloodline. “You two…” She started, her voice slow and careful, “Are insane.” I grinned, deliberately taking another bite before offering A

Author's Pov “Whip him.” A slow, soft command escaped the lips of a teenager who barely looked like one. He was short, so short that you would barely think he was up to eighteen years old, he had sunken eyes but his electric blue eyes glowed in the dark, sending shivers down the spine of everyone whom he stared at. No one dared to meet his eyes. A loud scream echoed in the underground basement, but the boy merely smirked in response as he spoke again, “Are you ready to tell me the truth? Where. Is. She.” He enunciated slowly. “I really have no idea! I'm not lying! She was taken by a man named Gary but we found out that he was killed and she was nowhere to be found. I really don't know where she is now.” The man cried out, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. His entire body was filled with whip marks and burn marks, some were still bleeding, others were an angry purple. “He looks like he is telling the truth. The auction house do not keep track of their goods after it's b

Nyx's Pov The picture of Tobias’s body was in the document and the autopsy as well, though it was clear as day. Tobias had died from three slashes to his neck. The depths of the slashed showed that the killer didn't use enough power to slash him but the artery that was cut was precise, too precise. The external carotid artery had been severed in a single, clean motion, allowing the blood to spill out in a controlled flow rather than a jagged, desperate wound. I frowned, leaning in closer. The cut wasn’t just deadly; it was calculated. There was no hesitation, no unnecessary force, no ragged edges where the blade had caught on skin or muscle. Even as an assassin, I knew how hard it was to get a cut this clean. My kills weren’t always neat, I moved quickly, effectively, but there was always some variance in the force behind my blade, the resistance of flesh, the unpredictability of movement. But this? This was perfect. Just too perfect. Alden must have noticed my silence becaus

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 Alden muttered something under his breath before walking past me into the room. I followed, already planning all the ways I could make this new sleeping arrangement fun for me and annoying for him.Later that night, the room was dark as all the lights were off, silent except for the faint rustling of fabric as I turned over in bed. Alden was beside me, his breathing steady, his body relaxed in sleep.Then, I heard it.A soft click echoed through the room. My eyes snapped open just in time to see a small mechanical device roll across the floor, stopping near the bed. My muscles tensed, my instincts kicking in. It wasn’t a bomb, there was no beeping, no countdown.Instead, a faint glow pulsed from the device, and a message projected onto the ceiling in red letters."Beware of Helena. She’s not who she says she is. Selene."I stared at the message, my mind racing. Helena? Why Helena? I was so deep in thought, staring at the message, that I didn’t notice Alden shifting beside

Nyx's Pov I frowned. It was about my eyes again... Where my eyes so special? I glanced up at Alden who looked at me with an unfathomable look in his eyes, like he was trying to figure out something. I smirked, now that I had the go ahead to do whatever I wanted with this fine specimen of a human, why shouldn't I take full advantage of it? I trailed my hands down Alden's chest, drawing circles on his lower abdomen, since we were pulled so closely together, I could feel him move and tense slightly and a strangled gasp escaped his lips. His hands shot out to hold mine and trapped my hands in his. "I don't believe you." Yvonne suddenly said, "How come you have a girl suddenly? Why didn't you tell grandfather that before I came here?" Alden’s grip on my hand tightened slightly, his body still tense from my little tease, but when he turned his attention to Yvonne, his entire demeanor shifted. His usual lazy amusement was gone, replaced coldness."And since when do I need to report everyt

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"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 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
