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

Note: There is sexual assault in this chapter. If this is a trigger for you, please you can skip this. 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

Nyx's Pov I opened the doors to my room, my feet stopping when I saw Renata lounging on the chair as always. I never saw this woman except when she came to my room. These days, she was doing everything she could to avoid me. I frowned, did I really give her that much of a scare? But… If she had been handpicked to come here and serve me, then she should know a thing or two about Alden, right? And maybe how to get into his room? “Hm… Renata, I have a question to ask you.” I asked in a bubbly voice, my eyes gleaming in excitement. She stood up from the chair instantly, her eyes darting around the room. She wanted to leave. “If you're this scared of me then why did you come to my room? However, I didn't do anything to make you scared of me so why are you trying to run every time you see me? It makes me sad, Renata.” I said, my eyes twitching. “You…” She pointed her withered fingers at me, her hands trembling. I walked towards her, placed my hands on her shoulders and pressed her do

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

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

Chapter 113Nyx's Pov “The woman who came to see us didn't drop her name. She was hell bent on us not knowing their name. After Rhea’ escaped, it wasn't until two days later that she came. She asked us a few questions which at the time sounded weird.”“Questions like?” “If she was pregnant before she left. If she had given birth, if she had told us where she was from. It sounded like she was trying to wring all sorts of information from us that she might have told us. We told her half truths so it wouldn't seem like we were lying or they would find us. They eventually let us go with the promise of not telling anyone. Although she didn't tell us her name, I can describe what she looks like to you.” Elena's mother finished. I nodded, giving her the go ahead. “She was tall, looked very young and well taken care of but she was in early thirties, could be in her late twenties as well. She had a mole under her left eye, she had grey eyes as well, though dull and not as pretty as yours.
