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

Nyx's Pov I clenched my fists, heat burning in my face as I realized everyone we passed was pretending not to see this. The bastards. The moment we reached his room, Alden kicked the door open, stepped inside, and, without warning, tossed me onto the bed. I let out a sharp breath as I landed, bouncing slightly against the plush mattress, "You...!"Before I could even sit up, Alden was already on me. His hands planted on either side of my head, caging me in. His weight loomed over mine, his face inches from mine.I swallowed.He wasn’t smirking anymore. His expression was unreadable, but his eyes, they were sharp, assessing."You really thought I wouldn’t notice?" His voice was low, but it sent a chill down my spine.I willed my heart to slow down, meeting his gaze head-on, "It worked, didn’t it?"His lips twitched, but the amusement didn’t reach his eyes, "You’re bold, I’ll give you that."I shrugged, ignoring the way my stomach twisted at his tone, "I do my best."Alden exhaled, slo

Nyx's Pov"A deal? What sort of deal?" Selene purred, curiosity showing itself in her eyes. Selene was the kind of person who could easily change allegiances as long as it suits her. She had no loyalty, typical of an assassin. Just the kind of person I needed to help me spy on Victor. "You will tell me everything I need to know about Victor and spy on him for me, in return, I'll get you out of here."Selene's smirk faltered for a moment, replaced by something unreadable. Then, she leaned back against the cold stone wall and let out a slow, deliberate exhale. "You don’t get it, Nyx." She muttered, "Victor won’t let me go. If he finds out I turned on him, I’ll be dead before I even see the sun again." I scoffed. "You? Afraid of Victor?" Her eyes darkened. "You should be, too." A flicker of unease crawled up my spine, but I pushed it down. Selene wasn’t wrong. Victor being alive—*somehow*—was already a problem. A problem I needed answers to. "You either rot in this cell, or yo

Nyx's Pov I cursed so loudly I was sure the entire damn mansion heard it. My blood was boiling, my fists clenched so tight I could feel my nails biting into my palms.“You fucking bastard. If you want to tell me, then tell me, stop beating around the bush!” I seethed before launching myself at him. My fist swung for his jaw, fast and precise, but Alden moved like a damn shado, fluid, effortless. He sidestepped, catching my wrist mid-air with ridiculous ease. I barely had time to register it before he twisted, forcing me off balance.Shit.I tried to pull back, but he was already a step ahead. In a blink, he maneuvered us, his arm slipping around my waist as he spun me. My back hit something solid, him. I sucked in a sharp breath as I realized the position he had trapped me in. My wrist was still in his grasp, his other hand pressed lightly to my lower back, keeping me pinned to his body. And holy hell, he was warm.I froze, my brain short-circuiting for a second.“You’re awfully aggr

Nyx's Pov Alden came back to the room a few hours later, I could see that he had changed his clothes and his expression had turned serious. He was here for answers then. I threw my legs off the bed, crossing them as I stared at him with a smile, “So? What do you want to know?” “Disregarding the fact that I was the one who brought you here, you must have had a mission regarding me, hm?” “Yup.” “And what was the mission?” “To kill you and bring in whatever information that I was able to take from you.” I answered dutifully. His eyes narrowed a bit, “And who sent you on that mission?” His question made me freeze. That's right… Who sent me on this mission in the first place? I mean Helena was the one who asked me to go on this mission but who sent out the mission first? Why had I never questioned this and instead, went along with what Helena had told me. I must have been so used to doing that, that I didn't even question it so if there was one person who knew who the sender of the

Nyx's Pov Alden didn’t stop until we reached his room. The door slammed shut behind us, sealing me in with him. His movements were swift, methodical, as he placed me on the bed like I was some fragile thing. I wasn’t. “I don’t need a damn nurse.” I muttered, trying to sit up, but he placed a firm hand on my shoulder, pushing me back down. “Shut up.” He said flatly, moving toward the bathroom. I heard the sound of cabinets opening, glass bottles clinking together before he returned with a first aid kit. He dropped it on the nightstand, then turned to me, “Take off your clothes.” I blinked, then huffed a laugh, “Excuse me?” His gaze was unreadable, his voice steady, “You’re bleeding. I need to see the wound.” I crossed my arms, ignoring the way pain lanced through my side, “Not happening.” Alden exhaled through his nose, clearly out of patience. The next thing I knew, his fingers gripped the hem of the blood-soaked shirt I wore, and before I could react, he yanked it ov

Nyx's Pov The moment the bullets started flying, Selene did something I didn’t expect, she tossed her gun to the ground. I barely had a second to process it before she lunged at me, fists swinging. Oh, she wanted to do this the old-fashioned way? Fine. I sidestepped her first punch, letting it graze past my face before countering with a sharp elbow to her ribs. Selene grunted but recovered fast, spinning and aiming a kick at my head. I ducked, shifting my weight and sweeping her legs out from under her. She hit the ground with a growl, but instead of staying down, she rolled and sprang back up, her eye burning with fury. “I’ve been waiting for this.” She spat, wiping a smear of blood from her lips, “A rematch between the both of us. I remember we did this a long time ago before you got locked up by Victor.”I cracked my neck, loosening my stance, “Then you should’ve trained harder. You have gotten rusty, corn face.” Selene charged again, feinting left before slamming her fi

Nyx's Pov I gulped. Dangerous... This man was fucking dangerous for my heart. I shifted back, clearing my throat as I slapped his hands away from a collar of the shirt. "Ahem! Anyways you said something about Renata being loud mouthed, what did you mean by that?" I finally asked the question of I came downstairs for in the first place. Alden shrugged, his expression shifting from teasing to something colder, more calculating, "She talked too much."I frowned, "And?"He let out a slow sigh, rolling his neck as if the conversation bored him, "Renata sold out information about this mansion to the wrong people. That’s how the assassins knew where the cameras were and what the blind spots were."I blinked, "You're saying she was a traitor?" That Renata who was scared of me merely staring at her? That Renata was a traitor? Woah... I couldn't have expected this. Not at all. Alden smirked, but there was no amusement in it, "I'm saying she made a bad deal. She thought she could sell me out

Nyx's Pov When he finished dressing, I stared at him, the blanket still covering half my face. I was blushing, I knew that, and I didn't want to let him see me blushing. But I was quite curious about something. "Why are you suddenly hiring maids after Renata died? Aren't you scared that someone else might get killed?" I asked innocently. Alden glanced at me for a second with his eyes literally saying, 'Why should I care?'I cleared my throat, "I mean... With what happened before, it's almost inevitable that someone else would get sent here and then she'd just die. She's just a normal human like me." I whispered, pretending to feel down. "She knew what she was signing up for before she came here. Also, if she's not as loud mouthed as Renata, she should be se to surviving for quite a while." He shrugged, acting like we were merely talking about the weather. But wait..."Loud mouthed as Renata? What do you mean?" I sat up instantly, letting the sheets fall to my waist as I stared at

Nyx's Pov Helena exhaled through her nose, acknowledging the point, “Vasquez is sharp, but he’s not invincible. He can’t monitor everything at once. If we’re careful, casual, we can pull this off.”I hesitated. This plan could either work perfectly or blow up in our faces. If Alden or Vasquez even suspected Helena was more than just a maid, we’d both be screwed.As if reading my thoughts, Helena leaned in slightly, “Look, Nyx. We don’t have many options. Victor is out there, and he’s watching. We need intel, and I need to stay close to you. This is the best way.”I ran a hand through my hair, exhaling sharply, “Fine.”Her grin was immediate, “I knew you’d see reason.”I shot her a glare, “But if this backfires, I’m blaming you.”She laughed, standing up, “That’s fair.”I watched as she smoothed down her uniform, her expression shifting back into her usual mask of cool confidence, “Alright, darling. Time for me to go do actual work before someone starts wondering where I am.”I smirke
