Chapter 81 Nyx's Pov I twirled the darkened spoon in my hand, staring at the food in front of me. This was the fourth time since I got to Alden's mansion that I had been poisoned. Although I am immune to a lot of poisons due to my immune system and the nature of my job, I'm not in any form of danger. However, if was getting annoying. “No! No! Please spare me! I beg you! I was asked to do this by someone! Spare me!” The muffled screams echoed faintly through the corridor, breaking through the quiet hum of the night. I stilled, my fingers tightening around the spoon as I listened carefully. The voice was coming from below. Setting my spoon down, I pushed back my chair and rose to my feet. The guards at the entrance to the dining hall remained still, but I could feel their eyes tracking my every movement as I followed the sound. Each step I took down the dimly lit hallway only made the desperate pleas clearer.I reached a dead end. Or so it seemed. My fingers trailed over the wall be

Chapter 82

Chapter 82 Author's Pov “Madame, she has sent a message, the girl has eventually been poisoned.” “Oh, is that so?” A woman dressed in a slitted red gown, her cleavage open with her hair styled elegantly. She had a black mole on top of her red lips, and her grey eyes shone vividly under the dim lights, “I guess the servant needs a reward then.” The woman stood up from the sofa and walked towards her table. She took out the box inside her drawer and opened it carefully, revealing a dagger that was imbued with small gemstones. It looked like a decorational rather than something useful. “Your orders, madame.” “Once she comes to the warehouse, make sure you kill her. Bury her in a place that can't be found, I can't have too many people around me.” “I understand madam, I'll make sure she's gone.” **********A few days later. The warehouse was dimly lit, shadows stretching long and eerie against the cold concrete walls. The scent of dust and metal lingered in the air, a lone servant

Chapter 83

Chapter 83 Author's Pov The Madame’s expression hardened as she scrutinized Nyx. There was something unnatural about this girl, no, this woman. She wasn’t just standing there confidently after being poisoned. She looked… untouched, as if the poison had never been inside her body to begin with.The Madame took a slow step forward, the slit in her dress swaying with the motion, “That poison should have left you writhing in agony.” She murmured, her grey eyes gleaming with intrigue, “It was designed to break even the strongest of men in the Caprienne's Clan. Yet here you are, untouched, unbothered. You must have a certain resistance to poison.”Nyx tilted her head, her smirk widening, “Ah, so you do have a brain in there somewhere. Took you long enough to figure it out.”The Madame’s attendant tensed, hand still hovering over her hidden weapon. The Madame, however, raised a single finger, halting any further aggression. She was too curious now, too drawn in by the enigma standing befor

Chapter 84

Chapter 84 Nyx's Pov This was the Caprienne's Clan main building? I glanced around, ignoring the eyes of the people that were fixed on me. It was only a matter of time before I was brought here, so they were just seeing me earlier, there was not any need for them to be so concerned about me. “You're here now, is there anything you want?” The madam questioned and I turned to stare at her. When I first heard about her from the servant, I thought she was a very interesting woman and her character would be more wicked and feisty, but contrary to my words, she wasn't like that. Or was it because I was here? “Actually, I wanted to see someone, but I thought differently about it. I think I'll just have to do with coming in here for now.” I crossed my arms. Alden had told me that someone else was snooping around. She was identified already so I was waiting for her to come up to me herself. Once she heard that I had already shown myself to the main clan, I reckon she was going to panic and

Chapter 85

Chapter 85 Nyx's Pov “Her name is Cassandra Caprienne, she is the first wife of Julio Caprienne.” “Cassandra? I've never heard of her. Why is she still hiding herself, I thought she doesn't want me there? Why, though? I only know that they don't want me there but I don't know the reason why they don't want me. I'm very sure that you all don't have a close knit family bond but still, someone like me would be a great addition to your clan, but instead, they want to kill me.” I crossed my arms. I had actually been thinking about it previously, but no matter how much I thought, I could not wrap my head around their thought process, it was really confusing to me so I dropped it and stopped thinking about it. “Actually…” Yasmin started but stopped and then looked around, “Do you think we can talk somewhere else, I'm tired of standing.” I studied Yasmin for a moment, weighing her words carefully. She was nervous, more than before. The way her eyes darted around, the way she shifted her

Chapter 86

Chapter 86Nyx's Pov I leaned back in my seat, tilting my head slightly as I studied Yasmin, “So, your family's banking on me to keep them safe? That's quite the gamble. Why do you even think you can trust me anyways?"Her jaw tightened, "We don’t have a choice. Cassandra has most of the clan in a chokehold, and the few of us that are left trying to survive? We’re running out of options."She exhaled sharply, pushing a stray curl behind her ear, “Things aren’t as simple as they seem, Nyx. If they were, I wouldn’t be sitting here talking to you like this.”I tapped my fingers against the table, considering her words, “Cassandra’s got the whole clan in the palm of her hand I must admit she's good at this”Yasmin hesitated, then nodded, “She controls everything. My father might be the official head, but everyone knows who pulls the strings. And the more powerful she gets, the more desperate the rest of us become.”I hummed, tilting my head slightly, “And what makes you think I’d be inte

Chapter 87

Chapter 87Nyx's POVI leaned back in my seat, watching Yasmin as she finally relaxed. We had an agreement now, and while I wasn’t one to trust easily, I knew she had just as much to lose as I did. Cassandra was a threat to both of us, which meant for now we were on the same side. But my mind was already moving past our conversation, shifting to the bigger picture. The Capriennes weren’t my only problem. Cassandra might have been the most immediate threat, but there were others watching from the shadows, waiting for the right moment to make their move.The streets weren’t safe. Not for me, not for Yasmin, and definitely not for anyone caught in the crossfire of this war but, it was nothing that a little bit of fighting couldn't fix. I stood, stretching out my limbs before tossing a few bills onto the table, "We're done here. If you hear anything new, you know how to find me."Yasmin hesitated, as if she wanted to say something else, but in the end, she just nodded, “Be careful, Nyx.

Chapter 88

Chapter 88Nyx's Pov I rolled my eyes at Alden, crossing my arms as I leaned back against the counter, "You really do love hearing yourself talk, don’t you?"Alden smirked, stepping closer, "What can I say? My voice has a certain charm. I’ve been told it’s rather addictive."I let out a dramatic sigh. "Right. And who told you that? Yourself in the mirror?"His chuckle was deep and smooth, like he found my irritation amusing. "Jealousy is not a good look on you, sweetheart.""Oh, please," I scoffed. "If I ever start complimenting you like that, just know I’ve been brainwashed. Or heavily drugged."Alden placed his hands on the counter, effectively trapping me in place. "Don’t worry, Nyx. You don’t have to say it. I already know you think I’m irresistible."I snorted, "The only thing you’re irresistible to is trouble."He leaned in, his breath brushing against my skin, his voice dropping to a low murmur. "And yet, here you are, standing in my kitchen. Trading insults with me instead of

Chapter 89

Nyx's PovLiam’s gaze held mine, "No, not really. I didn’t just happen to cross paths with you. I searched for you."A flicker of shock coursed through me, my pulse quickening, "Why?"He held my gaze for a long moment before finally saying, "Because I needed to." Silence stretched between us, heavy and unspoken. I studied him, trying to read between the lines. He wasn’t telling me everything, but I could see it in his face, there were other things that he was not saying. I swallowed, forcing myself to stay composed, "Why should I trust you?"Liam took a step closer, his voice low and urgent, "Because if you don’t, you might not live long enough to regret it.I narrowed my eyes, "You still haven’t told me the real reason you came looking for me, Liam. Warning me about Cassandra is one thing, but there’s something else. I can feel it."Liam sighed, running a hand through his hair, "You’re right. There’s more. But I need you to promise me something first."I crossed my arms, "And what’s

Chapter 90

Chapter 90Nyx's Pov Alden’s expression darkened, his gun never wavering, “You’re testing my patience, Castillo.”Castillo? Who the heck is he? And why does he look so similar to Alden? Siblings maybe? My eyes darted between the two men, my mind working quickly. The resemblance was there, the sharp features, the arrogant posture, the way they both held themselves like they owned the world.I turned to Alden, lowering my voice so only he could hear, “Who is he?”His jaw tightened, but he didn’t take his eyes off the man, “Castillo. My half-brother.” His voice was ice-cold, and the way he said it made it clear there was no love lost between them, he talked about them like they were strangers, “And the man in the wheelchair is my grandfather.”My fingers twitched slightly, resisting the urge to reach for my knife. His grandfather. The man sitting so still, so silent, radiated an unsettling aura. He wasn’t just anyone. He was someone powerful. Someone dangerous.I barely had time to proc
