Divorced The True Heiress Gets It All novel Chapter 686

Chapter 686

‘Spare her life for now, Caleb ordered. At the last second. Dorian’s gun barrel veered off, the bullet grazing Black Rose’s cheek as it whizzed past

Black Rose’s whole body went limp, her back drenched in cold sweat. I was this close to meeting my maker! she thought.

Caleb approached slowly. “Do you know my sister, Aria?”

Black Rose’s pupils contracted. So, he is indeed connected to Echohawk, she thought. Black Rose forced herself to stay calm and insisted, “I swear, I’ve never killed an innocent soul.”

Though I hate to admit it, I’ve admired Echohawk for years. That’s why I started practicing with silver needles, just to be a little more like her, Black Rose thought to herself.

She thought, ‘Actually, I wanted to join the Solemnity Guild at first, but they only accept kids under ten, so I had no choice but to settle for the Blood Association

Black Rose had always held herself to the Solemnity Guild’s code, being highly selective with contracts. But no matter how hard she tried, her ranking never improved. In the assassin world, she remained a nobody.

Later, she decided to take on easier contracts, hoping to emulate Echohawk’s flawless record. Only to end up getting taken

out herself.

“I’ve done jobs for Aria, and she knows me Black Rose blurted out desperately. ‘Spare my life. I can be useful to you.”

Dorian instinctively looked to Caleb for guidance. Caleb’s gaze sharpened ‘Got any proof you’re with Aria?”

Black Rose pulled out a phone she’d concealed in an inner pocket. I have our text messages,” she said frantically.

Caleb took the phone as Black Rose’s heart hammered wildly in her chest. There were barely any records, nowhere near enough to prove anything.

I’m not even part of Aria’s crew, she admitted to herself. But if I don’t say that, I’m as good as dead. I hope this boss will spare me.

Black Rose was beyond tears. I actually tried to seduce Echohawk’s own brother, she thought bitterly. “This is what I deserve. It was all karma.’

“Inform the Blood Association it was the Wolfshade Syndicate’s doing,” Caleb ordered, tossing the phone back.

Black Rose was about to comply when a thought struck her. She glanced at her fallen companions and asked hesitantly, “Could you make the bodies disappear?”

The trio exchanged battled glances, and they were all confused about that.

“Truth is, I’ve wanted out of the Blood Association for ages, but I just couldn’t get out,” Black Rose explained desperately. “Let me fake my death this time. I’ll devote myself to working for Aria from now on.”

Caleb paused for a few seconds. “Alright.” He turned to Dorian and the others. “Handle the bodies.”

Dorian arched an eyebrow. “Are you ordering us around now?”

“Is that not allowed!” Caleb shot back, his tone laced with challenge.

The trio was speechless again because they found they had no reason to refuse.

Black Rose picked up the map and suggested, “Mount Soultaker is riddled with cliffs. There’s one nearby, perfect for dumping the bodies.”

Dorian rubbed his temples and sighed. “You two, handle the bodies.” Without a word, the Wainwright brothers shouldered

the bodies.

Caleb cut in, “Hold it. Strip four sets off them first.”

Dorian snapped, “Are you out of your mind?”

Caleb shot back, “You chicken?”
