Chapter 11
In the dark basement, Lila laid on the floor, her skin pale and gritty. She looked haggard. Crimson smeared clothing and the metallic scent of blood.The sound of loafers sliding against the bloodied marble made her snap her eyes open. The same pain, everyday. Freya moved, the chains clattering as she hid away, trying to reduce her presence. She looked like a mess. A skin once glossy was a scarred mess, a body once clean was now covered in blood. “ Hmm, what a pleasant sight” a taunting voice rang out. Heavy on the air. He had come, again. Lila forced her body up, her hair cascading down in dirty strands. Her blue eyes were cold, with a flicker of fear. “ You will regret this” she spat, her voice weak and fleeting. A short, sharp laugh tore through the air, the sound taunting Lila and crushing down on her. She would kill him, she had sworn, she would end him once she left here. Slowly….painfully. “ What are you ? Lila Blackwell, the most beautiful heiress in England?” The guard
Chapter 12
Eleanor stood at the tall mansion, her hands clenched beside her. Caedmon had gone with Alistair and Kieran but returned alone. She sighed, her brows knitted together. She had tried to drop hints for Alistair. The bangle…But Caedmon outsmarted them, now Lila had no hope, Caedmon was going to dispose of her sooner or later. “ Miss, I've watched the guard ….he seemed to want to kill her” one of her informants said. Eleanor turned, her gaze fell onto a girl. She was hooded in black, her eyes held no warmth. Years of training had hardened her, forged her into a weapon, a good pawn for Caedmon to get to his goals. Eleanor nodded towards her and waved her hands, signalling the girl to leave. She turned around, it was impossible to get into the mansion after all. If Caedmon had found what they had been looking for. Then, ..she could finally return to her brother. She arrived at the basement, the thick scent of sweat mixed with blood made her nauseous. She walked in and saw Freya shiv

Alistair stared at the porcelain door in anticipation as it creaked open. A man walked through– familiar. Allistair's eyes widened, his brows drawing together. The bar man? How ? He glanced towards Kieran who had already adjusted his stance to relaxation. “ Daemon, old habits die hard, don't they?” kieran asked, with a smirk. Allistair's brows furrowed, Daemon? The bar man’s name was Daemon ? Multiple thoughts ran through his mind. How the hell did this Daemon find them ? He reached out for the steel pen in his pocket, grabbing onto it and flung it at Kieran. Kieran moved backwards as the pen reached for his throat. His throat bobbed, his head snapping towards Allistair. A brow raised. “ Tell me” Alistair said, his eyes flashing with suspicion and distrust, “ how the hell ..did he know we came here?” “how should I know?” Kieran replied, his voice heavy. Allistair brought the pen closer, his hands clenched, his gaze distant. “ I learnt from a merchant …never to trust a merch

“ I don't know about a locket” he replied, forcing his weak body up from the bed. “ Really?” A second shadow pulled out from behind the first figure. Alistair’s face went ashen. How bad could the day get? He noticed a sigil of identity tugged to their black lapels. Raven head with a knife stuck to it's throat. “ How did you get in?” He asked, his gaze landing on the exit. The first intruder smirked, drew closer. His footsteps short and terrifyingly slow. “ That doesn't sound like an answer” he said, his voice menacing. “ I ask again, where is the locket?” “ I know nothing about a locket” he repeated, his gaze lingering on the exit. The other figure threw a dagger towards his right chest. His eyes widened as his body moved on its own , dodging the attack. The dagger stuck into the wooden wall behind him. His face paled. On a normal day, he wouldn't mind a fight. But he just walked miles to get here. Fighting people as skilled as them was a death sentence. “ a writer ? Skill
Chapter 15
Soft recessed lights flickered on an underground basement. Mixture of blue, pale and yellow. The air was heavy with questions, anger. Caedmon sat down, his legs crossed, cradling a tiny glass of champagne. He pulled closer towards the pale faced woman before him, his scar terrifyingly obvious. “ Tell me Eleanor, did you free the painter?” He asked, cold and indifferent. Eleanor’s eyes snapped towards him. Specks of dust clung to her face. Her heart was hammering against her chest. “ No” she whispered, her eyes turning blurry as the next whip landed on her back. She moaned in pain, biting back the urge to burst in tears. For the love of friendship, she would do anything. Caedmon leaned farther away, his eyes holding a dark glint. He stood up, his hands curled into a blow. He walked towards her …A step …Two….then three, he stopped, glanced down at her. Eleanor's heart caught in her throat, the bitter taste of fear curling onto her tongue. She dipped her head, waiting for a jaw

“ You do have the guts to step into my house with a few shadow men” Kieran chuckled, as if taking Caedmon as a joke. Allistair's brain went mush. How did Caedmon get here? “ And you …really do live up to your reputation, dark one. A tough man to find” Caedmon said with a smirk. Allistair turned to look at Caedmon in confusion, “ dark one ?” He asked. Caedmon smirked. “ Oh I thought he told you already. Hmm, why don't you ask him what he did to earn that title?” “ You are crossing the line, Poe” Kieran’s hard voice slithered through. Cold and edgy. Allistair shivered, who the hell were these men? No! Who the hell was Kieran ? Caedmon scoffed, “ tell me Kieran. Why are you really helping Allistair? Could it be that–” Kieran's gaze sharpened. He was daring Caedmon with that gaze. Caedmon paused and chuckled. He waved his hands“ Okay …let's talk business” “ You should be worried about your life, not..business” Kieran said, his words sizzling with underlying threat. Caedmon wa

Lila gasped as she ran. She held Freya up, her weight crushing down on her. “ C'mon Freya. You've got this. A few more blocks” Lila said, gasping. Freya fell to the floor bringing Lila down with her. The harsh floor stung Lila and she winced, forcing Freya up but she didn't move. “ Go..” Freya croaked, her face pale, her body covered in blood. Her body was getting cold by the minute and she couldn't even keep her breath steady. Tears streamed down Lila’s cheek. She had never seen someone die, she had never watched anyone die before her. But here ... .she was watching freya fade and could do nothing. She held onto Freya's bleeding stomach, trying to stop the bleeding as she was losing too much blood. Freya gasped for air, her throat bobbing up, then down, her chest rose …then fell. Lila’s heart sank. “ Please. .try, please try for me. My father's mansion is just a few blocks away. Please wait a little bit longer” Lila pleaded. Freya smiled, it wasn't a sweet smile, it was bitte
Chapter 18
Lila was forced down the bathtub after being stripped of her clothes. “ You rebelled and slept with Kieran” Madam Leah said, a scowl on her face, “ you did something so stupid” she added, flashing her a disdainful gaze. Lila clenched her fist, her jaw tightening “ rebelled? ” she asked, “ why should I ?” she added. Madam Leah rolled her eyes, “ little girl, don't pretend to have forgotten what your father told you. He wants you to marry Allistair's Pevensie!” Lila's eyes snapped towards madam Leah, eyes wide, “ what?!” She asked, her voice louder than usual. He never said she had to marry him, he merely pointed out that Allistair fancied her. “ Why?” She asked, forcing her body up from the tub of water. “ Why? Stupid girl! Very stupid girl ! Your father made it clear the last time” she scoffed, her lips curling “ you must have slept with Kieran to make him give up” she added and smirked, cradling her cheek harshly, “ but he never forgets” she said and brushed her cheek to the
Chapter 19
Her father called out to her once again. This time his voice was colder than usual…Lila swallowed her anger and confusion. She hid her face away and followed after her father. Whatever he was about to say…she knew but it wouldn't hurt to hear her father throw discard like the piece of trash she was ... .again. He sat on the sofa with a dignified calm, crossing his legs with nonchalance. He swept his gaze away from her to the little crowd that was gathered outside. “ You should get married” he said, his gaze still fixed on the crowd that was slowly begining to disperse. A small painful smile found it's way to her lips. He couldn't even bear to look at her, to look at the daughter who was born to him. “ My chastity is gone. I can't marry now” she said, her voice tight. Her hands trembled a bit, then landed on her laps. She fiddled with her clothing calmly, trying hard not to appear nervous. “ I know” he said,Her gaze snapped towards him in an instant. He knew…then why was h
Chapter 20
Back at Kieran's mansion, Allistair was seated, Kieran too, as well as Caedmon. But Daemon stood up, arms folded. “ Are you sure about this Allistair? You can't trust him” Kieran said, his brows furrowed as he glared at Caedmon, who smirked at him. Allistair's gaze fell on Kieran, a sneer, “ and I'm supposed to trust you ?” He asked and Kieran exhaled, leaning back onto the chair. “ Great then, may I ?” Caedmon asked, a dagger in his hands, eagerness on his face. Allistair fixed his gaze on the dagger and then glanced up to meet Caedmon's gaze. He smiled, “ remember…you, Lila and your men” “ You got it Pevensie. My men and i” Allistair outstretched his hands and Caedmon smiled in satisfaction as he poked the dagger into his flesh. Allistair scrunched his face, the sizzling pain irritating his entire body. He winced in pain and withdrew his hands when he was sure Caedmon had gotten what he wanted. Caedmon smiled and twirled the little bottle in his hands. It was small as the
