From Truth To Lies Chapter 49
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

Alden's Pov "How is she?" I asked.A few hours after Nyx was taken by the doctor, one of them finally came out. From the corner of my eyes, I saw blood on his cheeks and my eyes narrowed. She must have been wounded more badly than what I had seen. "Well... She'll survive. Was she hit by a truck and then thrown over a bridge? Because I can't fathom how a little lady like that could have such wounds on her body. Six of her ribs are fractured, two of them dangerously close to puncturing her lung. Her right foot is broken in three places, and she has deep lacerations along her arms and legs. Not to mention the concussion and the internal bruising, we had to drain some blood from her lungs to keep her from suffocating.” I clenched my fists, my jaw tightening as I processed the doctor’s words. What the hell did she even fight in there? She mentioned an experiment but with Nyx's prowess in fighting, a normal sized human shouldn't be able to beat her up this much... She did say it was mor

Author's Pov "Fuck." Helena cursed as she finishes tying the bandage around her still throbbing eye... Or rather, eye socket. It was still bleeding and no matter what she didn't, it seemed like the bleeding didn't want to stop. "Fuck! Fuck that bitch!" She slammed her hands on the table, veins popping on her forehead. Helena knew that Nyx was a beast in terms of fighting but she didn't think that Nyx would have been able to beat a genetically modified human who was as huge as a giant nor would she have been able to find it's wean point. To be truthful, Helena had not thought that the stitches would be a weak point for the experiment. "If you keep on frowning like that, you are going to burst a blood vessel and start bleeding all over again." A male voice sounded which made Helena turn around instantly, then promptly hissed from the pain. There was a man leaning on the doorway, crossing his arms. He has chestnut brown hair with hazel coloured eyes, he looked like a teddy that could

Nyx's Pov "The bombs were made with a very old king of technology that can only be found in the suburbs. We will have to complete the istopic and detonator analysis to know exactly where the materials came from and perhaps, we will be able to track just where the bombs came from." "Throw in digital forensics too. If the bomb contains some sort of embedded electronics, you might be able to extract digital evidence from it." Alden murmured. Vasquez nodded, writing down what Alden had said. When he finished, he bowed his head a bit and left. I stared at him, not saying a word. Before I was discharged, Alden had sent people to scourge the Damien's compound to see if we could find anything that could lead us to Victor, after all, we couldn't keep on waiting for him to come to us. Now that I was injured, Helena was bound to be making plans to capture me, I would like to know where Victor was before that happened. And fortunately, Alden's men were able to find a non detonated bomb lying a

Nyx's Pov If Renata’s fingerprints were on that bomb… then that meant either she had survived the attack. Or someone had kept her body for something far worse."But that's not possible." I murmured, making Alden turn his attention to me, "You asked Vasquez to take care of her body and knowing what you meant, I assume you didn't bury her?" "No, nothing like that." Vasquez answered, shaking his head, which meant they must have completely destroyed the body. "So how come her DNA prints were found on the bomb if she's dead? Don't you think she might have been involved in the bomb making even before she died? And that's why her fingerprints are there? Or maybe there's someone else in this world that has the same set of fingerprints that Renata has. It's a one in like ten million chances but it doesn't mean that it's impossible." Alden didn’t respond immediately. He was deep in thought, his fingers drumming against the armrest of his chair. Vasquez shifted uncomfortably, glancing betwee

Nyx's Pov "Ah... That's a lie, don't you think, Darius? That's not enough to fool me." I beamed at him, shifting my position a bit so I was slightly leaning forward without putting any strain on my back of waist.Voss scoffed, his lips curving into a smug smirk as he finally looked at me directly, "And who the hell are you supposed to be?” He sneered, “You don’t scare me, sweetheart.”Alden chuckled. It was a low, dark sound that sent a shiver down my spine.“Oh, Voss." He murmured, shaking his head in amusement, "You really should pick your words more carefully.”Voss blinked, clearly confused. His smirk faltered slightly.Alden turned to him fully, his smirk widening, “You think I’m dangerous? Nyx is worse.”Voss’s brow furrowed as he glanced back at me, “Her?” He let out a short laugh, “You expect me to believe that?”I met his gaze with a cold, sharp smile, "You should.”Voss hesitated, the first traces of doubt creeping into his expression.I pushed myself up from the chair, ste

Nyx's Pov "Close your eyes if you have to, and try again.”He swallowed thickly, his body tensing, but he did as I said. He inhaled deeply, then another breath, slower this time. His fingers twitched slightly against his knee as his brows furrowed in concentration. For a moment, it seemed like he was going to come up empty again. But then, his expression changed. His eyes snapped open, and he exhaled sharply.“O... oh yeah... There was… a smell." He admitted, “It stuck to me the whole damn time we were on the move to their hideout.”I leaned forward slightly, “What kind of smell?”He hesitated, struggling to describe it, “It was… sharp. Strong. Like metal, but not just any metal. It had a burnt quality to it, like rust mixed with something chemical. It was in the air, and it clung to my clothes.”I exchanged a look with Alden and Vasquez. That wasn’t just any smell. That was industrial.“Sounds like a factory or a scrapyard." Vasquez mused.“Or an abandoned warehouse near an old rail

Nyx's Pov "Finally, I can breathe." I took in a long deep breath as I hid in the corner, away from Alden's eyes. That man had literally locked me in the room while he went out with Vasquez to do God knows what. "What a crazy man, why he acting like he's my husband?" I complained, pushing myself off the wall and walking away from the hotel itself. The night air was cool against my skin as I strolled through the dimly lit streets, the faint hum of the city filling the silence. I wasn’t planning on going far, just enough to clear my head. Alden and Vasquez could handle themselves. I wasn’t some fragile thing that needed locking away.But then, I felt it, a presence. Or rather, presences, there were a lot of them, maybe not a lot but like four or five people. Scratch that, they were four. They were subtle at first, but they were not unnoticeable. I kept walking, not wanting to alert them that I knew the were there, I kept my pace even, but my fingers twitched near the blade strapped to

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
