Chapter 0412 'To work?' Nyx scoffs My eyes flash up to his. "You're playing your little gagain aren't you?" He drops his arm over my shoulder and squeezesinto his side, but doesn't answer my question.
In his office, Blair has been dumped into the chair. Her eyes focus on her knees and she keeps her hands clasped together on her lap.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNo one speaks as we wait. Several minutes go by and Blair becomes more fidgety. Her whole body trembles as her leg jigs.
Ryken knocks on the open door. "You calledNeah, is this about Kade? I know we haven't...." His eyes drift to his stepdaughter and a scowl appears. "What has she done now?" "It's complicated." Dane tells him.
"I'm assuming you thought it would be best to tellrather than her mother? How long does she have?" "That will depend on you, Ryken." Dane tells him "Me, you wantto decide how she dies?" I see Blair's eyes widen and Nyx laughs, 'She's practically shitting herself. But why is Dane lying to Ryken?' 'You know he has his ways of testing people.' "Blair is not safe in the dungeons anymore. You are her stepfather. I am requesting that you take her in and keep a very close eye on her." Dane tells him. I still didn't like it, but I didn't want her anywhere near the house either. What was the saying, keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer. Klaus had taughtthat.
"Take her in? You wantto take her into our home?" Ryken acts like we are asking him to stick his head into an open flame.
"Take her in, feed her, keep an eye on her, don't let her out of your sight. She will be put to work with a guard and when work is over, she returns hto you and does not leave the house unless it is myself or Neah that requests it." Dane tells him "She is your stepdaughter, Ryken.
She is your responsibility. If you say no, I understand, she will not live to see another day. If you say yes, your family's lives rely on her doing what has been asked of her. If she fails or steps out of line in any way, she will not be the only one to face death. Do I make myself clear?" Dane asks "I have a baby." He protests with a frown 'What are we going to do if he says no?' Nyx asks 'I guess we will deal with it if it happens.' "If I do everything that's required, I get to live?" Blair asks in a whisper No one speaks and after a few seconds, Blair nods her head. "You are going to killanyway." "I will do it Ryken announces and everyone's eyes move to him. We et I expecting him to conset but still say no.

"I will kill her myself if she doesn't follow orders." Blair looks at me, her eyes full of tears. "Thank you."
"It's notyou need to thank." I leave the office before anyone else. My own heart racing as my head pounds. 'I don't like it either.' Nyx grumbles. 'She was set on destroying us.'
I wait at the top of the stairs, but it's sometbefore the rest of them appear. Ryken has his hands gmm Blairs shoulder, her eyes are still low ashe pushes her through the front door Damien tags along, I'm assuming to make sure there is no problem. Eric disappears through the door.
Dane casts his crimson eyes up atfrom the office door "I know you are not happy and this is just temporary." Ashburn X
