Nyx’s Pov “No! Don't take her, please! Please, I'll pay you! I'll do whatever you want, leave my daughter alone, please!” My mother screamed, the corner of her eyes red with tears. Her face was heavily bruised, purple and black. She had been hit with a plank by the loan sharks who had suddenly come to our house. “If you don't shut your mouth, we'll be forced to do worse to you! However, your daughter… She's really pretty” The one who looked like their leader came forward, his sunken eyes leered at me. I shrunk back, my entire body trembling. “Why… Why are you doing this to us? We… We don't owe you anything, we've never borrowed money from you.” I yelled, my voice shaking. The leader sneered, revealing yellowed teeth as he shifted his weight and leaned in closer. His voice was cold, unfeeling. “You don’t know, do you?” He chuckled darkly, the sound echoing through the small room, “Your dear father owes us more than you can imagine. He borrowed money to feed his gambling habit. Whe

Nyx's Pov “Six Hundred One Thousand Dollars!” “Seven Hundred Thousand!” Bids rang throughout the auction house and the more they spoke, the more I got scared. “Nine Hundred Thousand!” Someone bidded and everyone went silent. My eyes immediately went to who had bidded and my eyes widened. “Nine Hundred Thousand going once… twice…” “N… no. You… You can't give me to him!” I screamed, turning my head to stare at the Auction Master, “You can't give me to him!” I struggled to get up, trying to rush towards him but it was no use. I was held down, pushed to the ground, my knees hitting the ground with a painful thud. With fear and wide eyes, I stared at the fat bellied man with horror coursing through my veins. No, this couldn't be. I can't be given to him!“Going thrice! She has been sold at Nine Hundred Thousand!” A roar of approval erupted from the crowd as the gavel came down with a decisive thud, sealing my fate. My heart felt like it was going to burst out of my chest. I clawed a

Nyx's Pov “Who… Who the hell are you?” Gary spat, trying to regain his composure, though the tremor in his voice betrayed him.The man didn’t respond at first, simply raising an eyebrow as he reached into his suit jacket and pulled out a sleek handgun. Gary's courage faltered and was replaced by shock, sweat dripping down his forehead. He swallowed hard, his eyes darting between the stranger and the gun. The man finally spoke, his voice smooth as silk but laced with steel.“You’ve taken something that doesn’t belong to you.” He said, his eyes narrowing as he took a step forward, “And I’m here to collect it.”Gary’s eyes flicked to me, and he sneered, a desperate laugh bubbling up from his throat, “This girl? She’s mine. I bought and paid for her so she's mine!”The stranger’s expression hardened, and without a form of hesitation, he aimed the gun at Gary’s leg and fired. The sound of the shot echoed through the air, and Gary screamed as he crumpled to the ground, clutching his bleedi

Nyx's Pov Alden kept his eyes on the road, and I leaned back slightly, wondering what he had to do with me. He had found me even before I was able to find him. Alden Black Lombardi. A ruthless mafia lord who killed with cruelty and didn't care about anything else other than what he wanted to do. Gary was supposed to lead me to him, but instead, he was killed and I was captured by this guy instead. So, obviously there was going to be a change of plans. The car ride felt endless, the city lights flickering like fleeting memories as they streaked past the windows. Yeah… Memories. They began to resurface in my head. Three years ago, I was captured by a mafia gang and sold to another gang. I was ten at that time, and I had to fight for my life amongst the other girls. Older, more ruthless girls who had been there for a very long time. Some of them had gotten pregnant, some of them had been killed off. The situation I was in was either you survive, or you die. A situation that most of u

Nyx's Pov Helena struck first, her weapon slicing across one man’s throat in a blur of movement. The second man reached for his gun, but I was faster. I lunged at him, driving my blade into his chest. His eyes widened in shock as he crumpled to the floor. The third man tried to run, but Helena threw a knife she snatched from a dead guy, hitting him squarely in the back. He fell face-first, the bottle of whiskey shattering on his face. We armed ourselves quickly, grabbing as many weapons as we could carry. The chaos in the courtyard was our opportunity. Victor was too busy playing the role of executioner to notice us creeping behind the line of guards. “Now.” Helena whispered. We opened fire. The sound of gunshots echoed through the compound, and screams erupted as guards and prisoners alike scrambled for cover. Helena was ruthless, her shots precise and deadly. I wasn’t as skilled, but my anger made up for it. Every pull of the trigger was a release, every fallen guard a

Nyx's Pov “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 st

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

Chapter 85 Nyx's Pov “Her name is Cassandra Caprienne, she is the first wife of Julio Caprienne.” “Cassandra? I've never heard of her. Why is she still hiding herself, I thought she doesn't want me there? Why, though? I only know that they don't want me there but I don't know the reason why they don't want me. I'm very sure that you all don't have a close knit family bond but still, someone like me would be a great addition to your clan, but instead, they want to kill me.” I crossed my arms. I had actually been thinking about it previously, but no matter how much I thought, I could not wrap my head around their thought process, it was really confusing to me so I dropped it and stopped thinking about it. “Actually…” Yasmin started but stopped and then looked around, “Do you think we can talk somewhere else, I'm tired of standing.” I studied Yasmin for a moment, weighing her words carefully. She was nervous, more than before. The way her eyes darted around, the way she shifted her

Chapter 84 Nyx's Pov This was the Caprienne's Clan main building? I glanced around, ignoring the eyes of the people that were fixed on me. It was only a matter of time before I was brought here, so they were just seeing me earlier, there was not any need for them to be so concerned about me. “You're here now, is there anything you want?” The madam questioned and I turned to stare at her. When I first heard about her from the servant, I thought she was a very interesting woman and her character would be more wicked and feisty, but contrary to my words, she wasn't like that. Or was it because I was here? “Actually, I wanted to see someone, but I thought differently about it. I think I'll just have to do with coming in here for now.” I crossed my arms. Alden had told me that someone else was snooping around. She was identified already so I was waiting for her to come up to me herself. Once she heard that I had already shown myself to the main clan, I reckon she was going to panic and

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

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 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 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

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,

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

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
