All Chapters of From Truth To Lies : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

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 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 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"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 frowned. It was about my eyes again... Where my eyes so special? I glanced up at Alden who looked at me with an unfathomable look in his eyes, like he was trying to figure out something. I smirked, now that I had the go ahead to do whatever I wanted with this fine specimen of a human, why shouldn't I take full advantage of it? I trailed my hands down Alden's chest, drawing circles on his lower abdomen, since we were pulled so closely together, I could feel him move and tense slightly and a strangled gasp escaped his lips. His hands shot out to hold mine and trapped my hands in his. "I don't believe you." Yvonne suddenly said, "How come you have a girl suddenly? Why didn't you tell grandfather that before I came here?" Alden’s grip on my hand tightened slightly, his body still tense from my little tease, but when he turned his attention to Yvonne, his entire demeanor shifted. His usual lazy amusement was gone, replaced coldness."And since when do I need to report everyt
