Chapter 112 Nyx's Pov Elena’s mother hesitated. It was subtle, just a flicker of movement, a tightening around her mouth, but I caught it. She was hiding something.“There’s nothing else.” She finally said, voice too even, too controlled.Liar.I leaned forward, resting my elbows on my knees as I studied her. The dim light of the small room cast shadows across her face, emphasizing the deep lines of age and worry.“You’re lying.” I said flatly.Her breath hitched.“I…”“You hesitated before answering. You looked away.” I tilted my head, watching the way her fingers twitched against the fabric of her dress, “You know something else.”Elena shifted uncomfortably beside her mother, her eyes darting between us. “Mom, if there’s more, you should just say it.”The older woman’s lips pressed into a thin line. She gripped the edges of her chair as if debating whether to speak or not.Then, finally, she answered, “There was a woman. They looked alike as well, but not like the way you and her

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 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 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 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
