From Truth To Lies Chapter 76
Author's Pov “Sir Ethan, the laboratory has been destroyed.” A man dressed in black bowed as he entered the room, placing a folder on the table. The man that was seated picked the folder up, opening up and staring at the pictures inside. “It was blown up?” “Yes. There's nothing left of that place other than rubbles, it seems like the bombs were placed from inside itself, in specific locations so there would be nothing left.” “Hm… Do you know who did this? Victor must have offended someone for them to not only kill him in such a brutal manner but blow up everything in there.” The man questioned. “Yes. We were able to catch a glimpse of the people who blew them up using the hidden drones. It was Alden Black Lombardi…” “Alden? He has no business with Victor if I can remember, they barely know each other. So there's no reason for him to do something like this.” “Actually… There was someone else who was spotted with him and we were just able to identify who the person was.” Ethan r

Chapter 77 Nyx's Pov “So we are heading over to the capital?”“Yes.” Alden’s voice was calm but firm. He leaned back against the couch, his gaze sharp as he studied me, “We've received news that some people are probing for your identity. It could be the Capriennes. Rather than letting them catch us off guard, it's better to be prepared and go to the capital ourselves.”I crossed my arms, “And just walk straight into their territory?”Alden smirked, “What, scared?”I rolled my eyes, “Hardly. But you of all people should know walking into enemy territory without a plan is suicide.”His smirk widened, his emerald-green eyes twinkling with amusement, “Who said we don’t have a plan?”That made me pause. Of course, Alden always had a plan.I let out a slow breath, trying to suppress the ache still lingering in my ribs. Though I had mostly recovered, I wasn’t at full strength yet. Alden noticed my discomfort instantly. He always did.Without a word, he reached for me, his warm hand resting

Nyx's Pov “Woah. This city is huge.” I stared at the huge towers in the sky, and the car that sped past us. “I thought you had been to the capital previously.” Alden murmured as he stood behind me, leaving forward so his head was resting on my shoulders. Liam stood beside me, holding my hand with his little box in tow. It had been quite a few months and Liam already looked so well fed, he was getting taller as well. But regarding what Alden said about him… I narrowed my eyes, time would tell who Liam really was. “Well, it's not like I would stand to admire the entire place while I was on a mission.” I huffed, using my elbow to push Alden off my body, “Anyways, why are you being so touchy nowadays? It's weird.” “I've always been touchy Nyx, physical touch is my love language.” Alden winked at me and I shivered. “Weird, you're definitely drunk on something.” I shook my head, shifting away from him. Alden let out a low chuckle, unbothered by my glare, “Drunk on you, maybe.”I groan

Nyx's Pov “Mistress?” I crossed my arms, glancing between the two of them, "Why the hell are you calling me that?"Gertitude opened her mouth to answer, but before a single word could leave her lips, Alden moved. It was quick, too quick. One moment he was standing beside me, and the next, he had gripped my wrist and pushed me through the massive double doors of the mansion."Alden!" I started, but he cut me off with a sharp glance."Later.” He murmured, his voice low but firm, “You can talk to them later.” Confused but not wanting to make a scene, I let it go, for now. Instead, as I stepped inside, all my previous thoughts vanished. My jaw nearly dropped at the sheer grandeur of the interior.The place was magnificent."Ooooh." I breathed, my eyes drinking in the towering marble columns, the golden chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, and the rich mahogany floors that stretched endlessly. The entire mansion radiated power, wealth, everything that I liked. I spun in a slow circle,

Chapter 80 Author's Pov “Miss, the master is asking for you. He's in the sitting room.” A maid stood outside the door, her voice filtering into the room. The woman inside sighed and stood up from her bed, her narrowed grey eyes staring at her reflection in the mirror. After a few seconds, she walked towards the door and opened it abruptly, startling the maid who stood outside. “M… Miss…” “Why is he asking for me? Did something happen?” She questioned, her voice soft but anyone could hear the malice oozing out of her voice, “Answer.” The maid flinched, “W… Well, I overheard him saying something about welcoming a new member of the clan soon. I think he wants to talk to you about that.” “We are having an additional member soon?” She muttered under her breath, “Who are they? The person we are going to be welcoming soon?” “I… I don't know. I just heard him saying that to Mister Carmen.” “Anything else?”“Um… Oh, it's a woman. The person that's coming is a woman, I think they said s

Chapter 81 Nyx's Pov I twirled the darkened spoon in my hand, staring at the food in front of me. This was the fourth time since I got to Alden's mansion that I had been poisoned. Although I am immune to a lot of poisons due to my immune system and the nature of my job, I'm not in any form of danger. However, if was getting annoying. “No! No! Please spare me! I beg you! I was asked to do this by someone! Spare me!” The muffled screams echoed faintly through the corridor, breaking through the quiet hum of the night. I stilled, my fingers tightening around the spoon as I listened carefully. The voice was coming from below. Setting my spoon down, I pushed back my chair and rose to my feet. The guards at the entrance to the dining hall remained still, but I could feel their eyes tracking my every movement as I followed the sound. Each step I took down the dimly lit hallway only made the desperate pleas clearer.I reached a dead end. Or so it seemed. My fingers trailed over the wall be

Chapter 82 Author's Pov “Madame, she has sent a message, the girl has eventually been poisoned.” “Oh, is that so?” A woman dressed in a slitted red gown, her cleavage open with her hair styled elegantly. She had a black mole on top of her red lips, and her grey eyes shone vividly under the dim lights, “I guess the servant needs a reward then.” The woman stood up from the sofa and walked towards her table. She took out the box inside her drawer and opened it carefully, revealing a dagger that was imbued with small gemstones. It looked like a decorational rather than something useful. “Your orders, madame.” “Once she comes to the warehouse, make sure you kill her. Bury her in a place that can't be found, I can't have too many people around me.” “I understand madam, I'll make sure she's gone.” **********A few days later. The warehouse was dimly lit, shadows stretching long and eerie against the cold concrete walls. The scent of dust and metal lingered in the air, a lone servant

Chapter 83 Author's Pov The Madame’s expression hardened as she scrutinized Nyx. There was something unnatural about this girl, no, this woman. She wasn’t just standing there confidently after being poisoned. She looked… untouched, as if the poison had never been inside her body to begin with.The Madame took a slow step forward, the slit in her dress swaying with the motion, “That poison should have left you writhing in agony.” She murmured, her grey eyes gleaming with intrigue, “It was designed to break even the strongest of men in the Caprienne's Clan. Yet here you are, untouched, unbothered. You must have a certain resistance to poison.”Nyx tilted her head, her smirk widening, “Ah, so you do have a brain in there somewhere. Took you long enough to figure it out.”The Madame’s attendant tensed, hand still hovering over her hidden weapon. The Madame, however, raised a single finger, halting any further aggression. She was too curious now, too drawn in by the enigma standing befor

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
