From Truth To Lies Chapter 42
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 "Hahaha... This is crazy." I muttered. I had always wondered why I couldn't remember anything that happened after Helena and I escaped after killing Victor and I actually thought that Helena had something to do with it previously; I was someone who could barely trust another person so it wasn't hard for me to blame her. However, with all the reasons she gave, and how long it was, I barely asked her about it anymore. But now, it turns out that she was actually helping Victor? Really?! But why though? She had hated Victor, hated his guts and always talked about how she wanted to kill him but then she turns around and starts helping him. What gives? "I still can't wrap my head around this whole shit." I groaned, throwing my head back. Alden patted my shoulders, then he put his hands at the back of my neck and forcefully pulled my head up.He leaned forward, his forehead touching mine, "That's not the end of it, however." He said, his face awfully close to mine. I pouted and

Nyx's Pov I took deep breaths because everything in my was trying not to break his wrist. My fingers twitched, aching to dig into my hidden blade and make him regret everything. But then, I let my body relax, my lips curling into a slow, seductive smirk. I already knew how I was going to rob him blind. Damien thought he had the upper hand, the poor fool. His fingers traced lazy patterns along my side, his touch confident, predatory. But he had no idea he was the prey. I let out a soft, pleased hum, tilting my head as if enjoying his touch, "Mmm… A man like you must have a fortress of a safe, no?” He chuckled, his other hand reaching for his drink. “Smart girl. But even smart girls don’t get to know all my secrets.” I pouted, shifting in my seat so my thigh brushed against his, “Not even when they ask nicely?” His gaze darkened, hunger gleaming in his beady little eyes, “Depends on how nicely you ask.” Jackpot. I leaned in, ghosting my lips over the shell of his ear, “Yo

Nyx's Pov "So... when did you find out what I was trying to do? From the start?" I crossed my arms, putting the suitcase in between my foot and cracking my knuckles. Damien chuckled, his eyes raking all over my body, I was not able to stop the disgusted shiver that passed through my body. Ugh... I needed Alden to take away this disgusting feeling away. "Well... You were feeding me enought alcohol, that means that you wanted something and I have to admit, you are a very good actress. I wasn't even able to realise it fully until you took the money and when I became sober. Thankfully, I'm the kind of person who doesn't get drunk for long due to the amount of alcohol I used to take. It just some kind of temporary thing." Damien explained and I nodded. "Ah... I wasn't told about your super-power. It can actually be called that, right? However, do you actually think that you can stop me from leaving here today?" I stared squarely at him, the corner of my lips pulling into a smirk. "Of

Nyx's Pov Helene smiled, her eyes glinting with something dangerously close to amusement, "Oh, Nyx. You still don’t get it, do you?"I rolled my shoulders, preparing myself for whatever bullshit was about to come out of her mouth, "Enlighten me, then."She sighed dramatically, as if she was about to tell me a heartbreaking tale, when in reality, I knew it would be nothing but selfish greed wrapped in a sob story."You see, after we escaped, I had this… revelation. We spent so much time hating Victor, running from him, dreaming about taking him down. But then I realized something: power is power, no matter who wields it. And I wanted some of it for myself."I narrowed my eyes, "So you went back? To him? To that monster?"Helene laughed, flipping her hair over her shoulder, "Victor was a monster, sure. But he was a powerful one. And when we left, do you know what I had, Nyx? Nothing. No money. No home. No security. And you..." She pointed a perfectly manicured finger at me "You were so

Nyx's Pov I looked around, my lips twitching at the amount of damage that Helena's bomb had caused. That Damien wasn't going to be happy about this at all. But I shrugged, it's none of my business anyways, I was barely able to keep myself alive with that giant monstrosity chasing after me. I glanced at it's melting body on the ground and shivered. "So disgusting." I muttered under my breath and left, limping all the way outside. The moment I stepped outside, my eyes caught Alden's and his eyes widened when he saw me. "Nyx... What the fuck happened to you?" "Helena happened. But before you start asking questions, can you help me clean up? I think I broke my foot and a few of my ribs. It hurts so badly." Alden was already moving before I finished speaking. His hands were on me in an instant, gripping my arm to steady me as I leaned against him."Shit, Nyx. You look like you got thrown off a cliff." His voice was tight, edged with concern, as he carefully maneuvered me toward his

From Truth To Lies Chapter 122
Chapter 122 Nyx's Pov I crashed into the house, opening the doors loudly. Alden was seated on the couch, his eyes narrowing the moment he met my eyes. “What's it?” “Actually, there's a lot of trouble which I may or may not have caused but the downline is, I need help. Cassandra and a few others have been captured by Marcello, an evil uncle.” I explained, shedding the outer clothes I wore that were already stained with blood. “Marcello?”“Yeah. I don't think we have time to stay here and explain but we need all the men we can get, there's no need to stay and plan to catch them off guard, they already know that we are going to come no matter what, it's better to just face them head on.” I murmured, running towards my room and taking out all the weapons I owned. Alden rose to his feet, jaw tight, “You were supposed to lay low, Nyx.” He growled, following me to the hallway where I was strapping on twin daggers to my thigh, “You promised you wouldn’t do anything reckless.”“I didn’t
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
From Truth To Lies Chapter 120
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
From Truth To Lies Chapter 119
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
From Truth To Lies Chapter 118
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
From Truth To Lies Chapter 117
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
From Truth To Lies Chapter 116
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
