MY RUTHLESS MAFIA HUSBAND LOVES ME

MY RUTHLESS MAFIA HUSBAND LOVES ME

“Why are you wearing panties?” he growled dangerously in my ear, sending a shiver of fear down my spine. “Did you forget that I told you not to wear them and to always be ready for me in our bed?” My heart raced. I didn’t want to provoke my husband, his rage was an unpleasant one. Alessandro Valentino, the Mafia lord of Western Italy—my husband. I had been so exhausted and sick lately that I had forgotten everything he had said. Alessandro was undeniably wealthy and handsome, but he was also incredibly dangerous. Upsetting him could lead to serious consequences—like a bullet to the head. Our marriage wasn’t a mutual one; it was an arranged union. Alessandro married me because his grandfather insisted on it. I was an orphan who had saved his grandfather’s life, and he believed I was the perfect bride for his grandson. When Alessandro resisted, his grandfather threatened to disown him, stripping him of all his inheritance, including the Mafia empire and Valentino Enterprises. His grandfather was a strong figure in the Mafia, and no one dared defy him, at least no one who valued their lives did. From the start, Alessandro didn’t care for me; he often called me a gold digger and never missed a chance to express his disdain. I lay there, his burning gaze fixed on me as he pressed his naked body against mine softly. My skin reacted involuntarily to his touch, but then he tore my panties away and entered me without warning, making me cry out in pain. I wasn’t prepared for this; I had no intention of having sex tonight.

Chapter: Chapter 148: The Veil of Silence
The world felt still, as if it held its breath in anticipation of what was to come. Every corner of the desolate wasteland they had traversed for weeks whispered promises of doom, while the air itself seemed thick with the weight of inevitability. The sky, once a brilliant blue, had faded into an eerie gray, casting a shadow over the land. The group of weary travelers stood at the edge of the Abyssal Chasm, staring down into its depths.Leo’s heart pounded in his chest as his eyes fixed on the swirling black mist that rose from the chasm below. He could feel the darkness. The ancient being that had haunted him every step for years, the force he had fought so hard to escape, was finally within reach. He had no choice but to confront it now.Selene stood beside him, her hand subtly brushing against his as if to offer some comfort. Her face, usually calm and resolute, was etched with fear. “Are you sure about this?” she asked softly, her voice trembling despite her best efforts to hide i

Chapter: Chapter 147: Unraveling fate
Selene’s chest heaved as she staggered backward, narrowly dodging the Wraith’s claws that sliced through the air like a deadly blade. The cavern around her seemed to close in, the walls pulsating with a menacing rhythm as though the very ground was alive, feeding off the chaos that swirled in the air. Her breath came in short gasps, her heart hammering in her chest, but her eyes were locked on the creature in front of her, its glowing yellow eyes, its jagged, blackened form.She could feel the darkness wrapping itself around her, tightening, suffocating. Her mind raced for a plan, any kind of escape, but she knew that she couldn’t outrun the Wraith. Not like this. She had to stand her ground. The creature’s lips curled into a twisted grin, exposing rows of sharp teeth, and it took a step toward her, its form shifting, blurring with each movement as if it were made of shadows itself. The air seemed to crackle with dark energy as it slowly closed in, its movements like liquid smoke.“S

Chapter: Chapter 146: Shadows in the Light
The forest seemed alive with whispers, each rustling leaf carrying secrets the group could not yet understand. As the moonlight filtered through the dense canopy above, the shadows appeared to shift and move, as if hiding something or someone. The group, now reunited after their narrow escape from the ambush, was once again on edge.Leo tightened his grip on the hilt of his blade, his eyes scanning the darkness. Sophia walked beside him, her mind racing with unanswered questions. “We’re being followed,” she muttered under her breath, her instincts screaming at her to run.Selene, who had been unusually quiet, suddenly stopped in her tracks. “Do you hear that?” she whispered, her voice trembling.The group froze, ears straining to catch the faintest sound. At first, there was nothing but the hum of the night, but then it came a low, rhythmic thumping, like footsteps but heavier.Before they could react, a figure emerged from the shadows ahead, illuminated briefly by a beam of moonlight

Chapter: Chapter 145: Secrets Beneath the Surface
The atmosphere within the safehouse had shifted dramatically since the woman’s cryptic warning. Tension hung heavy in the air, and everyone seemed to be walking on eggshells. Sophia’s mind replayed the woman’s words over and over again: “If you don’t listen to me, you’ll never survive.”The safehouse, once their sanctuary, now felt like a prison of unanswered questions. Sophia couldn’t shake the feeling that the woman’s knowledge held the key to their survival, but finding her again seemed almost impossible.As she paced the main room, Selene appeared, holding a sheet of paper in her trembling hands.“Sophia,” Selene said, her voice tight. “You need to see this.The ground trembled beneath Selene’s feet, sending shards of stone tumbling from the walls. Her pulse quickened as the voice called to her again, this time clearer, more distinct."Selene... come to me."It was Leo’s voice, without a doubt. The same warmth, the same intensity. She had been searching for him for so long, enduri

Chapter: Chapter 144: The Wraith's Call
The air felt thick, charged with something unfamiliar and unnatural. Selene’s footsteps echoed in the dimly lit corridor as she navigated the twisting passage, the shadows wrapping around her like a suffocating embrace. Her heart beat in her chest, quick and erratic, but she pushed the fear aside. It had no place here. Not while she was so close.With each step, she could feel the weight of the cavern pressing in on her, the walls narrowing as if the very earth itself sought to entrap her. The ominous growl of the beast from earlier still echoed in her ears, but the deeper she moved into the labyrinth, the more it seemed like the creature’s presence had faded. Instead, there was something else, something far more chilling.A low, melodic whisper floated on the wind. It was soft at first, almost like a lullaby, but it grew louder with every step she took. The words were indecipherable, like a language that had been forgotten by time itself."Leo," she whispered to herself, though she w

Chapter: Chapter 143: The Game of Shadows
Selene gasped for air, the crushing weight of the abyss finally releasing its grip on her chest. She felt dizzy, disoriented, but there was no time to gather herself. The walls around her seemed to pulse, shifting as if the cavern itself were alive. She could hear the faint echoes of Leo’s voice, but it was distant, almost like a whisper carried on the wind."Leo!" she called out, her voice trembling with urgency, but the shadows swallowed her words.Her feet moved on their own accord, each step bringing her deeper into the maze-like passages of the cavern. Every time she thought she had found a way forward, another passageway appeared, leading her further into the darkness. The silence was oppressive, broken only by the occasional rustle of unseen things moving in the shadows.She had to find Leo. She had to find Kieran and Elias. They couldn’t be far, could they?A soft, eerie laugh echoed through the cavern, and Selene froze. The sound seemed to come from all around her, bending an
