Under The Mask Of My Enemy Twisted Love
Chapter 59: Thorne's POVI lay on my back, my eyes fixed on the ceiling as Garrett's warm breath danced across my skin. His lips wrapped around me, and I couldn't help but feel a spark of arousal, despite myself.At first, I tried to deny it, to tell myself that I wasn't enjoying this, that I was just doing it out of obligation. But as Garrett's tongue teased me, as his fingers gently caressed my thighs, I couldn't help but feel my body respond.It was as if my body had a mind of its own, my reservations betrayed, my will surrendering to his touch. I felt a flush rise to my cheeks at the truth: I was enjoying this, and I couldn't deny it.But I didn't want to like it. I didn't want to feel this way about Garrett. I didn't want to be drawn to him, to crave his touch, to need him. But my body seemed to have other plans.The more Garrett worked his magic, the weaker my resolve grew. I was being consumed by sensation, my body responding to Garrett's touch in ways I had no control over.An

Chapter 60: A Moment of WeaknessThorne's POVEarly morning light seeped through the curtains, painting obscure patterns on the wall. My body stirred before my head awoke; the soreness in muscles was a sharp reminder of what had taken place the night before. I groaned softly, shifting under the sheets, but suddenly did not move as the heat of another person lay beside me.Garrett.My breath caught in my throat as I turned my head. There he was, lying peacefully, his face relaxed in a way I rarely saw when he was awake. His dark lashes rested against his cheekbones, his features softened by sleep.For one brief moment, my mind betrayed me, telling me this was familiar, this was normal, we were just two lovers waking up after a night of passion. There were no lies, no betrayal, no chains binding me to this man.My chest constricted painfully as I stared at him. How could someone so despicable look so human? So painfully handsome? My traitorous heart clenched in a spasm of grief, mournin

Chapter 61Garrett's POVBlood dripped from my hand onto the waxed floor, a harsh contrast against the pale wood. The pain from the fork lodged into my skin was nothing compared to the ache clutching at my chest as I stared at the figure slumped against the headboard of the bed. Thorne sat motionless, his face pale and expressionless, his usually bright eyes clouded with emptiness.The man in front of me was unrecognizable. This wasn't the fiery, defiant Thorne that once challenged me with every word and action. This wasn't the man who fought me at every turn, who cursed me even as I held him close. No, the man in front of me looked… broken.And that realization was more painful than the fork wound in my palm.I clenched my jaw and stepped forward, but Thorne didn't so much as twitch. His stare was fixed on some point far, far beyond this room, beyond me. I knelt beside him, disregarding the way my blood smeared on the sheets, and touched his shoulder."Thorne," I said softly, my voic

Chapter 62: Caged Despair Thorne's POV My body was a cell, my mind a war zone. After the injection, I plunged into an invisible ocean whose weight pinned me down. Every slight movement of my fingers felt monumental; the effort seemed to be that of trying to lift a mountain by will alone. My body had become completely wayward; I was at the mercy of Garrett's whims, period. The realization hit me like a tempest: I was reduced to being a puppet, a helpless pet at his mercy. Every day started just about the same. Morning sunlight streamed through the bars of my captivity, gilding them in gold. Garrett entered, his calm infuriating as his presence seemed to fill too much space. He was always so careful around me, treating me with the care afforded to glass that would shatter with one wrong touch. But he didn't understand. I wasn't fragile—I was furious. I lay there, staring at the ceiling, while the sound of his footsteps echoed closer. I heard the scrape of the chair as he pulled it

Chapter 63: Caged Despair 2Thorne's POVHe had taken everything from me: my freedom, my dignity, now even my body. His control seemed to reach every corner of my existence; he entwined me in a smothering web of his making.When I refused to eat, it wasn't out of some childish rebellion. It was all I had left, my one way to resist, to remind myself a choice still existed. But my defiance had its price. Gnawing hunger clawed at my stomach, and my body weakened more quickly than I had anticipated. Garrett, of course, noticed. He always noticed.He called the doctor, and I felt myself wanting to scream as Garrett's voice, even calm, even neutral, held an edge, a tightness born from frustration. "I don't care what it takes," Garrett said, pacing near the bed. "Just make sure he doesn't deteriorate any further."I didn't have to open my eyes to envision the scene. I could hear the rustling of the doctor's bag, a clinical detachment in his tone as he replied, "We'll be needing to administer

Chapter 64 Garrett's POVThe doctor's words still hung heavy as I stood at the window, staring into the somber twilight that mirrored the turmoil running rampant inside my head. Thorne was stubborn, much more than I'd ever imagined. He wasn't merely on hunger strike; it was a declaration of war-to himself, not to me. He wanted to wither away-to slip through my fingers-and even the very idea of his disappearance was a twisting blade inside my chest.At first, I had thought this hunger strike was some phase or passing tantrum, and so was quite circumspect in my dealings, avoiding any excessive pressures, as would only widen further this gorge opening between them. I had stupidly hoped he would come around on his own. Days passed, but Thorne didn't waver for a moment. He refused food with a quiet, unyielding defiance, his lips pressed into a thin line whenever anyone tried to coax him to eat.Nutrients were now the only things keeping him alive, being injected into his system in a battl

Chapter 65: Shattered Bonds 2Garrett's POVI watched him, my chest tight with emotions I couldn't name. Thorne's face was a storm of incredulity and pain, a mix of disbelief and exhaustion that cut deeper than any of the sharp words he'd hurled at me before. He looked at me like I was the enemy, someone to be feared, to be hated-and yet I refused to let him push me away. Not this time.He was faltering, his trembling hand hovering above the spoon I'd offered him. A second, I had almost thought that he would hurl it back at me, this one last flicker of defiance blazing to life in his fragile form. And then something inside him seemed to snap. His fingers wrapped weakly but determinedly around the handle, and he took the spoon from my hand.Relief washed over me, laced with bitterness at the underlying reality of it all. He sat there, small, fragile, barely a shadow of the man I had grown to know and love. Watching him bring the spoon up to his mouth-what should have been the sweetest

Chapter 66Garrett's POVEven after Thorne resumed eating, he refused to talk to me. His silence was a wall-hard and solid, impenetrable, no matter how much I tried to break through.First, I kept telling myself to be patient. I knew Thorne was stubborn, and I thought that if I just waited-if I gave him space-he would eventually come around. But days went by, and nothing changed: he was still cold, distant, refusing even to acknowledge my presence. He ate only because his body demanded it, not because he wanted to live, and that scared me more than anything.I tried talking with him, sitting next to him while he ate, my voice low and cautious. I told him about things that had happened while he had shut himself away in his silence. I talked about business, about the people he once knew, about the world beyond the walls of his room. But he never looked at me. His eyes kept gazing down into his plate of food or strayed to the window as if willing to be outside.Yet, I didn't quit.I trie

Under The Mask Of My Enemy Plan To Resign
Chapter 103: Plan To ResignThorne's POVBlood. Too much blood.It oozed on my hands, saturated the fabric of my clothing, and ran on the unforgiving earth below me. I pressed tightly against Garrett's wound, but the blood streamed on through my fingers, searing and uninterrupted. My respiration was small, gaspy.This couldn't be happening. It was happening."Get him into the car! Now!" Donovan shouted above the bedlam, stern and urgent.His usual cockiness was gone. His face was pale and his eyes wide with something I never would have thought I would ever witness: fear. Donovan, never before, looked lost, like he had no control over anything. That alone made my stomach twist. If Donovan was scared, things were more terrible than I could have ever thought.The guys rushed, scooping Garrett's slumped body into the back seat of the black SUV. I climbed in behind them, holding on tight. My hands were wrapped around his wound, holding as much pressure as I could. His breathing was sporadi
Under The Mask Of My Enemy Feelings
Chapter 102: Feelings Thorne's POVGarrett dropped in front of me, his form crashing onto the ground with a nauseating crunch. Time slowed down as I stood there rigid, observing the crimson pool of blood spreading on the ground, the dark red staining the pavement like a jesting reminder of all that had transpired to lead to this. My lungs froze as I breathed in, my body unable to move.I had waited years for this—to finally kill Garrett and to bring an end to the Cullen family.But now, standing over him, watching his blood seep into the ground, I felt no victory. No victory at all.Only a burning, intolerable pain.Garrett's breathing was shallow, his chest rising and falling in slow, irregular motion. His lips trembled as he tried to talk, and I found myself leaning forward, straining to hear what he would say."I'm sorry…"His voice was barely audible, little more than a whisper.I bristled.His eyes, cold and sharp as ever, were unfocused, filled with something indistinguishable.
Under The Mask Of My Enemy The Plan
Chapter 101 : The Plan Thorne's POVThe plan was underway. All was set.I was standing in the shadows, watching as my guys got into place. The rundown warehouse before us was the perfect place for an illegal transaction—remote, dimly lit, and out of prying eyes. Garrett and his men thought they were safe here, that no one would ever bother them. But they were wrong.Tonight, I was going to take them down.I gripped my gun tight, my heart beating normally but my mind in the heightened state. Every breath that I took was like it was burdened with my past and the mission that was before us. It took me weeks to prepare for this, to gather information, observe movements, and wait. And now that we were here, the time had come.The Cullen regime had held the city for too long, in the shadows, pulling the strings. I used to reside in their world. I used to witness the extent of their corruption. But I was no longer the man that I once was. I could get things back to the place they had to be,
Under The Mask Of My Enemy The Trap
Chapter Fifteen: The TrapThorne's POVThe soft glow of my laptop screen was the only light in the room as I scoured page after page of files. My eyes ached with exhaustion, but I didn't stop. I couldn't. The truth was buried somewhere among these files, and I was determined to find it.For days, I'd been piecing together the clandestine activities of Garrett's family, searching for something—anything—that would expose their sins. Every trail I chased ended in a dead end, another obstacle constructed to keep people like me away from seeing the truth. But I was better than any other outsider.I knew Garrett. I knew how he operated, how secretive he was. But even the best crooks make mistakes.And tonight, I'd finally found one.I scanned a document into my computer, a document I'd been assigned to delete later—a confidential order that lay encrypted within the folders. My heart pounding, I tried to decrypt it, fingers flying across the keyboard. Try and try, and on my third attempt, I
Under The Mask Of My Enemy Looking For Evidence
Chapter Ninety EightThorne's POVThe rain poured down in sheets as I stepped out of my car, the weight of my decision bearing down on me like the storm itself. I stood outside the FBI headquarters, looking up at the skyscraper building that had been home once but now felt like a reminder of everything I had lost.This was it. The moment where I finally quit looking back and started moving forward.I clenched my fists, my breath regular but racing. I had stayed too long in between my past and present, at war with who I used to be and who I needed to become. The days of hesitation were over. Garrett and the Cullen clan had to go down, and I was the only one who could make them fall.I had existed in their realm, learned their secrets, viewed their shadows up close. I understood how they operated, how they erased their trails. That made me the most effective weapon against them. And now I was going to use all of that to destroy them.It wasn't revenge anymore. It wasn't even about what
Under The Mask Of My Enemy The One I Met At The Operation
Chapter 97: The one I met at the OperationGarett’s Point Of ViewMy mind would not take it initially. My grip on my gun tightened, and my eyes were on the man struggling with my men. He wore no mask, no disguise. Just him—Thorne.I felt as if the ground below me had disappeared. My whole body went rigid, my chest barely rising for air. I had a mask over myself, my identity hidden, but my hands shook.What the hell is he doing here?Thorne marched across the room with the stealthy, unaccustomed grace of a specter. Each step was precise, calculated, and deadly. He battled with every ounce of strength he had, sending my men crashing down with quick, killing punches. He had ever been skilled, but now he was more powerful, more ruthless.I should have reacted. I should have ordered my men to kill him. But I couldn't.My brain yelled at me to move, to do something, but I stood there, paralyzed, and watched him.And then one of my soldiers raised his weapon, pointing it directly at him.My
Under The Mask Of My Enemy The Unexpected Face
Chapter Ninety Seven : The Unexpected FaceGarrett’s POVThe night was thick with tension, the kind that settled deep into your bones. The air smelled of gunpowder, damp earth, and the unmistakable scent of blood waiting to be spilled. My fingers flexed around the grip of my gun, steady and controlled. I had done this a hundred times before. Maybe more.This was supposed to be simple. A mission like any other.Donovan had everything planned down to the last detail. He had personally overseen the setup, making sure the men were ready, the information was solid, and the execution would be flawless. The target was dangerous, but nothing we couldn’t handle. I didn’t ask questions. I didn’t need to. That wasn’t how this worked.I stayed at the back, letting my men go in first. They knew their roles, moving in perfect sync, taking their positions, and striking with practiced efficiency. The first round of gunfire echoed through the night, sharp and relentless. Shouts followed—some from my m
Under The Mask Of My Enemy Operation After A While
Chapter 96 : Operation After A WhileGarrett's POVThe underground bunker smelled of gunpowder and metal, a scent that had once exhilarated me. Now it was the only thing reminding me of what kept me grounded. I'd spent too long locked within my own head, drowning in thoughts of Thorne, and letting my emotions take control. It had made me vulnerable. I'd let myself fall, and Donovan reminded me I hadn't forgotten.But tonight was different.Tonight, I was in charge again.I moved through the base, watching the men getting ready. Some were checking their guns, loading bullets into magazines, fitting silencers. Some were tightening gear, donning bulletproof vests and checking gloves. The air was heavy with tension, but I loved it. This was what I had been thirsting for. A mission. A purpose.I pushed my hair back, breathing out slowly. It had been far too long since I'd run an op myself. For months now, I'd been in the shadows, allowing others to handle it while I worked on my own issue.
Under The Mask Of My Enemy The Ultimate Betrayal
Chapter Ninety Five : The Ultimate BetrayalLena's POVThe room felt stifling.I could hear the muffled hum of conversation in the distance, a reminder that we were not alone. But in this cold, dingy room, it felt like the world had narrowed down to the two of us—me and Damian. Or me, Damian, and the traitor.Damian's face was unreadable. His jaw was set, his fists buried at his hips. But his eyes—those dark, black eyes—reflected an emotion I had never witnessed.Betrayal."You?" His voice was smooth, deadly almost, but I could sense the storm brewing beneath it.The man standing before us—**one that Damian had trusted, one with whom he'd been friends for years—**shifted awkwardly. But their eyes didn't show any remorse. No guilt. Just cold calculation."You shouldn't be surprised, Damian," said the traitor."This was always going to happen."My stomach tightened. I had witnessed Damian rage on numerous occasions previously, but this. this was different. It was the kind of silence tha
