From Truth To Lies Chapter 61
Chapter 61Nyx's Pov“What the hell are you helping Victor do, Helena? Are you crazy?!” “Well, I'm a researcher, always wanted to be one and I finally got the chance to do what I wanted, why are you blaming me?” Helena lifted a hand, inspecting her nails casually, “But enough chit-chat, Nyx. Come with me, or everyone in this house dies. Including this little guy here.” She nudged Liam’s side with her boot, making him groan. I clenched my fists so tightly my nails dug into my palms. Every fiber of my being screamed at me to kill her where she stood, to tear her apart before she could hurt anyone else. But I forced myself to breathe, to think. She wasn’t bluffing. If she’d already wiped out Alden’s guards, she could just as easily do the same to everyone else. Especially with the kind of people Alden said she brought, they must be like zombies. I couldn't help the shiver that went through my skin, if there were people like that… I didn't even want to think about what could come nex

Chapter 62Alden’s Pov A sharp gasp tore from my throat as I jolted awake, my body drenched in sweat. My head throbbed with a deep, pulsing ache, my limbs heavy as if I'd been drugged. The room swayed for a moment before my vision adjusted, the dim lighting casting long shadows against the walls. I looked around, memories coming into my head. Nyx! Where the heck was she?! Trying to stand up, I groaned as I felt dizzy for a second, how the hell did I get unconscious? When I was finally able to stand, I made my way to the door and was about to open it, but was blocked by Vasquez who came in. “Sir.” He greeted. Vasquez had one of his arms bandaged, his torso as well. His face was pale. "Where is she? Nyx?" My voice came out hoarse, barely above a growl. Vasquez exhaled shakily, his jaw tightening, “She’s gone.” The words hit like a gunshot to my chest. A cold wave of fury surged through my veins, drowning out the remnants of my exhaustion. “What the hell do you mean she’s gone

Chapter 63 Nyx's Pov“Ugh…” Pain. That was the only thing that I could feel right now. It burned through my veins like some kind of liquid fire, spreading with each agonizing pulse of my heartbeat. My wrists ached from the restraining belts that were biting into my skin, my body trembling violently against the cold metal of the chair. My breath came in ragged gasps, my head lolling forward as I fought to keep consciousness. But the pain, it was so fucking unbearable. A scream ripped from my throat despite my best efforts to hold it in. The sound echoed through the sterile white walls of the lab, a twisted symphony to the torment Helena was inflicting on me. She watched with cold amusement, her fingers curling around the syringe as she injected another dose of the substance into my bloodstream. I clenched my teeth, my muscles seizing as another wave of agony wracked my body. I wanted to fight. I wanted to tear her apart. But right now, I couldn’t even move. Helena tilted her

Chapter 64Nyx’s Pov My breath was ragged, my muscles screaming as I forced myself toward the door, the two scalpels clutched tightly in my trembling hands. The room spun violently, the drugs still weighing me down like chains wrapped around my limbs. But I couldn’t stop. Wouldn’t stop. I pressed my ear to the door, straining to hear beyond the blood pounding in my skull. The distant wail of alarms still rang through the lab, a stark reminder that Helena’s people were searching for me. I tightened my grip on the scalpels, pushing my exhaustion aside. I needed to move. With a slow, controlled breath, I gritted my teeth and turned the handle. It was unlocked. That was good. The second the door cracked open, I slipped through, keeping my steps light despite my body’s protests. The hallway was dim, lined with flickering emergency lights that cast eerie shadows across the sterile white walls. The metallic scent of blood and chemicals thickened the air. I kept close to the

Chapter 65Nyx’s PovThe beast snarled, its massive body coiling like a spring, muscles flexing as it prepared to lunge again. My arms ached, my vision swam, and the weight of exhaustion dragged at my limbs, but I couldn’t stop now or else I would die. I adjusted my grip on the steel bar, my breaths shallow but controlled. This thing was fast, but that was the only advantage it had. Its movements were the same, lunge, attack, lunge, attack. It only moved along that pattern which meant that it had no intelligence. Having no intelligence in combat? It means you are bound to lose. The creature lunged and this time, I didn’t dodge, I met it head-on. I ducked low, twisting at the last second so its massive claws barely grazed past my shoulder. With all my strength, I drove the steel bar upward, slamming it beneath its jaw. The force sent a sickening crack through the air as its head snapped back, its fangs clicking together with brutal force. It staggered. I didn’t let it recover. I

Chapter 66 Nyx's Pov “J… Julia? But you died years ago, what are you… How the heck are you…” I covered my face with my palms, groaning. Things were coming to me faster than I expected them to come. But Julia only laughed, shrugging as she beckoned me closer, “Come.” I stood still though, and didn't move. Who knew what she wanted to do, right now she was my enemy. “Always so distrustful, you haven't changed Nyx.” Julia shook her head as she stepped closer to me. “How could I? If I had trusted with all my heart, wouldn't I have died out of Helena’s betrayal. My inability to trust fully has made me survive until this day.” I answered. Julia had no combat abilities so it would have been easy taking care of her, however, who knows what they had modified in her? Did she take the substance as well? Julia sighed, looking at one of the tubes and placing her hand on the glass, “Actually, I was forced to work here. You should remember that I was stabbed by one of the guards while you and

Chapter 67 Alden’s Pov Ten Hours Ago“Wait! Where are you taking me to? I don't want to die! I don't want to die!” Darius screamed as he was brought into the house, blindfolded. His yells reverberated along the corridors, making me frown. “Shut your mouth. You're angering me, Darius.” I warned, my voice cold. I had no time for this. “A… Alden? Is that you?” He questioned shakily. I gestured for the blindfold to be taken off of him. Darius met my gaze and with a sigh of relief, slumped on the chair. “I thought I was done for, so it was only you.” “I need you to make some bombs for you. Or better still, if you have a stash, hand it over to me.” Darius blinked, his body stiffening, "Bombs?" He let out a nervous chuckle, "Alden, you know that's not something I can just whip up in a few hours. It takes time, resources. As for a stash of bombs, I don't have one.”I slammed my knife into the wooden table between us, the force rattling the tools that were laid out. Darius flinched, hi

Nyx's Pov I twisted the blade into the stomach of the man in my arms, then I moved back, removing it and stabbing him in the heart once more. The man slid off of me, lying lifeless on the ground along with the other men. I sighed, cleaning my blade and then staring at the air vent on top of me. It was thick enough to carry my weight, right? But the moment I moved, the ground rumbled as the echo of something blowing up sounded through the earth. I looked back, frowning. Who the heck was blowing up something? Sighing, I made my way up a vent, sighing when I was finally able to climb. I stopped there, pulling out the map that Julia had given me. “Right now, I'm at Area A of the laboratory.” I murmured to myself, if I was going to get a shortcut to where Victor was, I had to pass through this place. However… “Be careful when you pass through Area A, the person guarding is very cruel. He's a predator, he won't hesitate to kill you.” Her warning rang in my ears. “Well, I was bound to f

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

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

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
