Chapter 88Nyx's Pov I rolled my eyes at Alden, crossing my arms as I leaned back against the counter, "You really do love hearing yourself talk, don’t you?"Alden smirked, stepping closer, "What can I say? My voice has a certain charm. I’ve been told it’s rather addictive."I let out a dramatic sigh. "Right. And who told you that? Yourself in the mirror?"His chuckle was deep and smooth, like he found my irritation amusing. "Jealousy is not a good look on you, sweetheart.""Oh, please," I scoffed. "If I ever start complimenting you like that, just know I’ve been brainwashed. Or heavily drugged."Alden placed his hands on the counter, effectively trapping me in place. "Don’t worry, Nyx. You don’t have to say it. I already know you think I’m irresistible."I snorted, "The only thing you’re irresistible to is trouble."He leaned in, his breath brushing against my skin, his voice dropping to a low murmur. "And yet, here you are, standing in my kitchen. Trading insults with me instead of

Nyx's PovLiam’s gaze held mine, "No, not really. I didn’t just happen to cross paths with you. I searched for you."A flicker of shock coursed through me, my pulse quickening, "Why?"He held my gaze for a long moment before finally saying, "Because I needed to." Silence stretched between us, heavy and unspoken. I studied him, trying to read between the lines. He wasn’t telling me everything, but I could see it in his face, there were other things that he was not saying. I swallowed, forcing myself to stay composed, "Why should I trust you?"Liam took a step closer, his voice low and urgent, "Because if you don’t, you might not live long enough to regret it.I narrowed my eyes, "You still haven’t told me the real reason you came looking for me, Liam. Warning me about Cassandra is one thing, but there’s something else. I can feel it."Liam sighed, running a hand through his hair, "You’re right. There’s more. But I need you to promise me something first."I crossed my arms, "And what’s

Chapter 90Nyx's Pov Alden’s expression darkened, his gun never wavering, “You’re testing my patience, Castillo.”Castillo? Who the heck is he? And why does he look so similar to Alden? Siblings maybe? My eyes darted between the two men, my mind working quickly. The resemblance was there, the sharp features, the arrogant posture, the way they both held themselves like they owned the world.I turned to Alden, lowering my voice so only he could hear, “Who is he?”His jaw tightened, but he didn’t take his eyes off the man, “Castillo. My half-brother.” His voice was ice-cold, and the way he said it made it clear there was no love lost between them, he talked about them like they were strangers, “And the man in the wheelchair is my grandfather.”My fingers twitched slightly, resisting the urge to reach for my knife. His grandfather. The man sitting so still, so silent, radiated an unsettling aura. He wasn’t just anyone. He was someone powerful. Someone dangerous.I barely had time to proc

Chapter 91Nyx’s PovI laughed nervously, crossing my arms as I shifted my weight to one foot, “Okay, seriously. Why does everyone suddenly want me? Am I that desirable? And why do they went me? Or who exactly out of the both of them wants me? Sigh, you have some competitions you know.”Alden let out a low chuckle, but there was no humor in it and he didn't say anything in response to my words. That's how I knew he was a bit shaken up by his grandfather’s arrival. He glanced at Liam, who had been eerily silent since Castillo and his grandfather left. Liam stiffened under Alden’s gaze, but Alden simply shrugged and ruffled his hair before turning away. The gesture seemed oddly casual, but I didn’t miss the slight tension in Liam’s shoulders.Something was up.Alden walked inside, and I followed, my mind racing with questions. The moment we entered the dimly lit room, I exhaled and sat on the couch across from him. Alden leaned back in his seat, legs spread open, his arms lazily draped

Chapter 92Nyx's Pov Alden’s smirk faltered for just a fraction of a second, but it was enough. I caught the shift in his expression, the brief hesitation before he masked it with that lazy, unreadable confidence.He leaned back further, stretching his arms across the couch’s backrest, his fingers drumming lightly against the fabric, “Now, that’s an interesting question, Nyx.” His voice was smooth, measured.I narrowed my eyes, “That’s not an answer.”Alden exhaled a slow breath, tilting his head slightly, as if considering his next words carefully, “Memories are tricky things. You might not remember everything for a reason.”That was definitely not an answer.I straightened, my frustration growing, “Alden.”His lips curled, but there was something almost wary in his gaze, something guarded, “Let’s just say… our paths have crossed before. But whether that was by chance or design…” He shrugged, “Well, that depends on who you ask.”My heartbeat picked up, “So you do know something.”“I

Chapter 93 Author's Pov “Sir… It's just as you said, that woman who is with him is not just an ordinary woman. It seems she is from the Caprienne's Clan, and she has already been targeted by Cassandra Caprienne, the woman is trying her best to take care of her before she can enter the clan.” Castillo placed his hands on his lips, smirking in response to the investigation reports that his right hand man gave him. "Interesting," Castillo mused, tapping his fingers against his lips. His sharp, calculating eyes gleamed with intrigue, "Nyx, was it? To think she’s caught Cassandra’s attention… That only makes things more entertaining."His right-hand man, Damien, stood by, watching him carefully, "Sir, if Cassandra is already taking steps to eliminate her, should we intervene?"Castillo chuckled darkly, shaking his head, "No, not yet. Let Cassandra make her move first. Let her think she’s in control." He leaned back in his chair, eyes narrowing, "I want to see how capable Nyx really is.

Chapter 94 Author's Pov The whole place was quiet for a moment, tension cracking through the place like an electrocuting wire. Cassandra's lips twitched for a moment, a showing habit of her coming anger but she closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. It was no secret that a lot of people suspected Cassandra of killing her sister so that she could take her place as the matriarch of the clan. Even if a lot of others don't think Cassandra had killed her sister, they still believe that something foul had been done in one way or the other. Cassandra had become the matriarch of the clan twenty two years ago, after her sister had disappeared under mysterious circumstances and now, a woman who had been born one year after the disappearance, as well as having the features of the person who had disappeared arrived. There was no way that they would not be suspicious. Cassandra’s fingers curled slightly against the armrest of her chair, the only outward sign of her irritation. She had actual

Chapter 95 Nyx's Pov “So, what you're saying is that Cassandra asked you to pretend to become friends with me solely so that you would be able to watch my every move and report to her? I thought she was smart, or is she intentionally giving this job to you as she knew that you had already approached me previously?” I questioned, taking a little sip out of the drink Yasmin had paid for. “Yes. It seems like she already knows that the both of us have something to do with each other. However, I would advise you to enter the clan now rather than wait for her to invite you. There's one more thing, Cassandra has her eyes on the person that's next to you.” I followed Yasmin's gaze to Alden who was sitting at a corner, waiting for me. We had stepped out as I asked him to show me around but we had ‘coincidentally' bumped into Yasmin. As if he knew that someone was watching him, Alden turned back and stared at me, waving slightly. “She's targeting Alden?” “Yes.” Yasmin nodded, “She said th

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

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

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

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
