Chapter 188
The rain was falling like angry needles from the sky. Amanda was crouched behind a pile of cracked cement blocks and broken steel pipes, barely breathing as she peeked toward the old glass plant. She’d followed Viktor here earlier, against her better judgment, and now she was beginning to regret it. Far in the distance, she had see them. Cars, so many of them approaching, and they looked quite dangerous, to say in the least. There were four of them, matte black, and no headlights on. They looked like ghosts in the rain as they came to a stop. Then the doors opened, and armed men got out, looking like a war set. Her eyes widened when the last cars opened. “Shit!” She whispered. What was it with her and getting involved with dangerous men? She knew that face. Devin Stone. Dressed in all black, and looking like he was about to rip the fucking world apart. Behind him, stood Dreykov, and he looked just as cold, and just as dangerous. His men looked like mercenaries straigh
Chapter 187
Devin got into his study and took a seat, closing his eyes. What was the use of a system upgrade if the one person he wanted to find was able to block themselves? He turned on the screen again, and a blinking bar sat next to a line of text. >Enter Query. Devin took in a deep breath and typed again. >What killed Henry Blake? The screen froze and symbols started to pop up on the screen. Devin was annoyed. “What the fuck is this?” >How to override magic locks? The system started to load, and all of a sudden, his inventory made a sound. He opened it, and saw a large key in one of the sections shining. He selected it and dragged it onto the screen. >Magic Key Detected. Attempting Override... …Bypassing Restrictions... WARNING!!! TRACING FORBIDDEN ZONE!!! HIGH-RISK SPELL IDENTIFIED!!! Then it stopped working. Devin wanted to curse at the world. All of a sudden, a message popped up. >Cause of death: Hexed Nightmare Charm Spell. …Caster: Viktor. Devin’s heart s
Chapter 186
Yvonne’s hands wouldn’t stop shaking. She sat curled up on the edge of Devin’s couch, her eyes darting around like a hunted animal. Her lipstick was smudged, and her blazer was wrinkled like she’d been running. She looked like shit and she hadn’t slept in days. Henry’s death did that to her. She couldn’t believe that the man she had looked up to, the man she had cherished, and respected, one of the few men in the world who knew how to care for others, who knew how to be kind and was good at his work, she couldn’t believe that he was gone. Not just gone, murdered in cold blood. Devin watched her from the other side of the room, leaning against the wall with a glass of water in his hand. He had said nothing yet, just allowed her to get her breath back. It had been days already, he told her so. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have come here.” Yvonne whispered, looking up at Devin with sadness in her eyes. “I just didn’t know what to do right now. How could they… what did he ever do th
Chapter 185
Amanda hadn’t seen Viktor in person since the last time that she almost had him killed by Devin, after revealing his secret to him. She’d agreed to meet him at a secluded hangout spot where she had to pay to merely enter. It was a place that was built for secret meetings and to discuss confidential things. People paid a huge sum just to enter the place, and it was just as she expected. There were signs when she got there, it just looked like a regular building. She wasn’t even sure if she was at the right place until she tried to enter and a lady stopped her. “The landlord isn’t home right now, leave a message.” Amanda looked the women all over and asked her what the problem was, but the woman only repeated what she said earlier. “The landlord isn’t home right now, leave a message.” Amanda looked confused and checked her phone. A private number had sent a message, and she checked it. It must have been Viktor waiting inside. -Tell him it’s his bride.- It read. She frown
Chapter 184
Devin had a headache, and was reading through a few emails from his home study when his phone started to ring. He frowned when he saw the caller ID. Yvonne Hall. He answered immediately, wondering what had went wrong. After he had had that whole thing accusing Henry of murdering Kia, he had been upset. After he was done with Viktor, his next course in line was to free Henry and apologise to him. Henry had behaved very graciously. "It's okay Mr Stone, I understand. You had just lost the love of your life, it's only proper that you wouldn't let it slide." He said. "Still, I'm sorry that I did that to you. Anything I can do to make up for..." "Nothing can be done, I hold nothing against you, Devin. I'm only upset that you thought that I was capable of doing such a vile thing." Devin didn't know what to say to that. Henry was right about that, and that only made him feel worse. He had settled things with Henry, and he knew more than anything that the man had his bes

182. The ride home was dead silent. Devin sat in the backseat with Petra, with her staring out of the windows like she was with a stranger. She sat with her arms crossed and lips sealed so tight they could've turned to stone. As for him, he kept on looking at her, wondering why she couldn't let it go. He looked at her, but she didn't look back. "Petra." He said softly. "Petra." He repeated. Petra might have as well been deaf because she pretended not to hear him call her. "Petra, don't be like this." Still nothing from her. "Are you going to keep ignoring me all the way till we get home?" He asked, sounding frustrated. "I just finished a court case and you can imagine how stressed I am." Her eyes remained on the window, looking outside. "That's what I thought." He muttered, turning his gaze back out the window. "If you want to be comforted, why don't you call Elsa?" She taunted. The driver looked at them through the mirror for a short second but didn't dare t
