“Hm.” Alden hummed lightly, reaching out to hold my wrist. He pulled me closer and then leaned down, wrapping his arms around the curve of my waist and with one strong movement, he pulled me closer to him. I stiffened for a moment, caught off guard by the sudden closeness. His eyes gleamed with something unreadable, but I could see the shift in his demeanor, a man who was never afraid, now calculating his next move. “Play along.” He whispered, so quietly it was barely a breath. Before I could question him, his voice rang out, loud. “Princess…” He said, the word dripping with affection, “You’re far too stubborn for your own good, but I wouldn’t have you any other way.” My eyes widened in realization, I caught on quickly and forced a smile, leaning into his chest. “You think flattery will get you anywhere, darling?” I said, my voice light and teasing, though my heart pounded in my chest. His lips curved into a smirk, his grip tightening around my waist. He was strong, too strong for me to pull away, even if I wanted to, but I didn’t fight it. Instead, I played the role he needed me to play. “Oh, it gets me everywhere with you.” He said smoothly, tilting his head down toward me as if we were the only two people in the room. A faint sound echoed from deeper within the house, a scuff of a shoe against the floor, maybe, or the soft creak of a door opening. Either way, someone was really here, watching. I swallowed my nerves and leaned into the act, wrapping my arms around his shoulders. My fingers brushed against the fabric of his jacket as I pressed closer, tilting my head to look up at him. “You’re impossible.” I murmured, letting my voice drop into something softer, more intimate, “But I suppose that’s why I love you.” The lie tasted strange on my tongue, but Alden’s expression didn’t falter. If anything, his smirk deepened, his dark eyes gleaming with approval. “Of course you do.” He murmured and I could feel the person getting closer. His hands gripped my waist even tightly, he was getting ready to spring, just a few push more for the person to be closer. Before I could second-guess myself, I stood on my toes, closing the distance between us. My lips pressed against his, soft and insistent, a kiss that had to look convincing enough to fool anyone. Alden froze for the briefest of moments, and I thought I’d made a mistake. But then his hands moved, one sliding up my back while the other cupped the side of my face. He tilted his head, deepening the kiss, and for a second, the act felt too real. At least that was until I was suddenly thrown to the side, my waist hitting something… Maybe a boulder? Or the edge of a table? It seemed like a table. I didn't even look and the lights instantly turned on. Alden was holding a woman by the neck, her feet dangling from the ground, she was a very small and petite woman and she was holding a short dagger that was still raised in the air. “So by now, people are still sending others to kill me?” Alden questioned, tilting his head to the side, “I thought we had moved past that now as I have established the fact that it's not possible.” "You... How did you know what I was waiting?! I made sure to stay quiet." The woman asked, her face pulled into an expression of pain. "Ah... Good question, how did you know, Princess?" He asked mockingly, his gaze directed at me. Shit.Related chapters

Nyx's Pov “Well… Um…” I stammered, the corner of my lips twitching at the sudden question, “I grew up with that habit. The thing is, as a child, my father owed a lot of debts from gambling and stuff like that. So many times, my mother and I were taken by loan sharks and those my father owed money to. I was able to figure out when someone was coming or hiding to get us despite how quiet they were. It's just an instinct that I grew up with.” Alden's eyes narrowed at me, but he didn't say a word, he still kept that infuriating smile on his lips. “You… Don't believe me?” I questioned softly, almost tearfully in fact, “If you don't believe me, then…” “Who said anything about not believing you, princess? I believe you, really.” Alden cut me off, giving me a closed eye smile that clearly said, ‘No, I don't believe you’. My heart sank. This guy would be hard to deal with… But nevertheless, I already knew that before coming here. I masked my thoughts with a tearful smile, scurrying backwa

Alden's Pov I stood outside the door for a moment, staring at the locks. I was debating on leaving them open, and not locking her up but I decided against it. Looking at her, it was clear that she was a kind of person who would get herself into a trouble. And in this place, it was very wavy to get yourself killed if you were an outsider. I still needed her, even if I wasn't even sure it was ‘her’ yet. But if it was ‘her’...“That girl…” I muttered under my breath, the faint stench of her vomit hitting my nose before I even reached the base of the stairs and I grimaced. I should have known what her reaction would be, but I had no idea it would leave a mess. Her trembling, tear-streaked face had almost been amusing, but the cleanup was decidedly less so.I stepped into the living room and let my eyes fall on the puddle of vomit on the floor, my frown deepened. With a sigh, I tilted my head back and called out into the shadows, a voice sharp and commanding. “Nine.” There was a moment

Nyx's Pov “Get up!” Someone screamed in my ear, I groaned, turning to my side. “Get the hell up!” Who the heck was screaming into my ears like that?! Didn't they know that someone was sleeping?! However, it seems like the patience of the person was over as I was jerked awake by a sharp blow to my back. My eyes flew open, adrenline coursing through my veins as my body reacted on instinct. My fist was halfway through the air, ready to strike when my mind screamed at me to stop. Undercover! Stay in character, you're undercover! Instead of hitting the person who hit me, I froze, my breathing ragged. As if on cue, my eyes welled up with tears. I sniffed, letting my bottom lip tremble as I turned to face the culprit. A woman stood over me, her arms crossed and a frown plastered on her face. She looked to be in her late forties, with sharp features and an equally sharp demeanor. Her dark hair was pulled into a severe bun, and her cold eyes bore into me with no hint of sympathy."Get u

Alden's Pov“Nyx!” I yelled her name when she suddenly fell from the staircase, rushing towards her to catch her before her head hit the ground. She fell into my arms, breathing heavily. Her face was pale and her whole body was shaking. “What the hell happened to you?!” I questioned harshly, picking her up. She weighed nothing, as light as a feather. Was she malnourished as well?! With huge movements, I stormed up the staircase, cradling her limp body in my arms. My jaw was clenched so tightly that it ached, and my mind raced with questions. How had she ended up in this state and who dared to push her to such extremes. When I reached her room, I pushed the door open with my shoulder. The sight that greeted me made my blood boil. Renata was lounging comfortably in a chair by the window, her feet propped up on a stool as if she owned the place. She popped a grape into her mouth and chewed loudly and obnoxiously. Without looking, she scoffed, "I hope you're not coming in here to laze

Nyx's Pov “Mhm…” I groaned in pain, opening my eyes to see Alden and someone else I had no idea who he was standing beside my bed. The both of them were talking, my eyes were ringing so it was quite hard to hear what they were saying, however, I could make out the words, ‘punish’, ‘Renata’. Were they going to punish Renata? That's not good, I needed her for my plan. If she was gone, then there was no one I was going to use anymore. I made another sound to alert them that I had woken up, and tried to get up from the bed but a sting of pain went through my shoulders. “You should not be standing up.” Alden saidz towering over me. He crossed his arms, his ruby eyes staring so intensely that I thought he was going to pull my soul out, however, I couldn't stop looking at his eyes. “They are really pretty.” I thought, still staring at him. “What's pretty?” Alden questioned. “Your eyes. They're really… pretty…” I trailed off, my eyes widening after realising what I said. Why did I say my

Nyx's Pov “Let go of me!” I screamed at him, letting my broom fall to the ground as another one grabbed me roughly, this time, pressing my boobs with his calloused hands. I felt a wave of nausea washed through me but I swallowed it down forcefully. “Don't be like that, hm? What is a pretty thing like you doing, hm? Sweeping the ground? How about you come with me and serve me, you wouldn't have to do menial work like this anymore. I'll take care of you like the flower that you're supposed to be.” He said, bringing his face close to mine, his stinky breath fanning my face. I made a look of disgust, turning my head away from him. Three others gathered around me but the drug cartel did nothing, he was merely staring at me. “Let go of me! Let go!” I continued to struggle against them as they went further. Another placed his hands on my stomach, directly on top of my v-line. I gas

Alden's Pov Screams of pain and torture rang throughout the whole place. Rows upon rows upon rows of cells scattered throughout the whole place, blood splattering on the walls. It was a place that reeked of death and pain. This was my world, a realm of punishment and control, and every broken cry reminded me that I was its master.It was beautiful, really. Their screams, I meant. Seven men were behind me, six standing, one on the ground, gurgling blood out of his mouth, one of his hands thrown to the side, his knees broken. He was the man who had cummed on Nyx's back. He wasn't dead from blood loss yet, though it shouldn't take much time. The remaining six men were shivering, goosebumps arising on their skin. Taking a bottle of whiskey from the table, I popped it open, the sound filling the entire place, “So… Where is it?” I asked, pouring a generous amount of whiskey into a bottle and placing it near my lips, smiling when the aroma hit me. “S… Sir… It was… It's been delivered ju

Chapter 14 Nyx's Pov I paced around in my room, biting my fingernails with fire burning in my heart. I could barely control myself from flinging myself at that man and tearing him to pieces. “This is bad. This is really bad.” I muttered under my breath, my fingers flexing. I had gone on a lot of other missions before, like infiltration of the President's Mansion, Killing a Drug Lord and I have never lost my cool like this. Well, you can't blame me, no one has ever touched me in that manner and left with their lives or their limbs intact. I rushed towards the windows, opening the curtains slowly so it wouldn't make a noise, craning my neck and looking down. “They aren't there anymore.” I grumbled, leaning against the window frame one last time, squinting into the yard below. No sign of Alden or the men who had dared to touch me. The yard was eerily quiet, save for the faint rustling of leaves, “What a bummer. I wanted to see what Alden would do to them with my own eyes.” I pouted

Chapter 15 Nyx's Pov “W… What's this place? You… What are you doing?” I asked, raising my hands to clamp on my lips as I resisted the urge to throw up. Alden's smile only widened at my reaction, his eyes narrowing in amusement, “This?” He gestured to the scene around us, the blood splattered walls, the tortured men writhing on the cold, concrete floor, “This is where I deal with people who fail me. And as you can see, failure is never tolerated here.” My throat went dry, my heart hammering in my chest. I’d heard of Alden's cruelty, but seeing it first hand was something else entirely. The screams of the men sent shivers down my spine. How could anyone do this? How could he? He tilted his head, studying me like a specimen under a microscope, “Are you not going to throw up, Nyx? I thought someone as delicate as you might find this unsettling.” I blinked, trying to maintain my composure despite the bile rising in my throat, “No.” I said, my voice steady despite the panic I felt
