The forest was dense, the towering trees casting long, shifting shadows under the dim light of the crescent moon. Selene and Kieran moved silently, their breaths visible in the cold night air. They had left the abandoned village behind, but Zara’s words lingered like a haunting melody.

Selene kept her eyes ahead, her expression unreadable, but inside, her thoughts churned. She couldn’t shake the image of Zara’s cold, unfamiliar gaze. The betrayal stung deeper than any wound.

"She’s playing with us," Kieran said, breaking the silence. His voice was low, yet there was an edge of anger to it. "Zara’s alive, but she’s not on our side anymore."

Selene slowed her pace, her fingers tightening around the hilt of her sword. "It wasn’t her. Not entirely. Chaos has its claws in her, twisting her thoughts, manipulating her."

Kieran stopped, turning to face Selene. "You saw her. She attacked us without hesitation. Whatever she was, she isn’t anymore. We can’t afford to hesitate when it com

  • MY RUTHLESS MAFIA HUSBAND LOVES ME   Chapter 120: The Chain of Chaos

    Selene gripped her sword tightly, her heart pounding as Zara’s cold smile froze the air around her. She glanced at Kieran, whose staff glowed faintly in preparation for the inevitable clash. They had been expecting a trap, but seeing Zara standing there stronger, darker, and more unrecognizable than ever made the reality far more daunting. "You’ve come a long way," Zara said, her voice laced with mockery. "But did you really think you could outsmart me? Chaos whispers your every move." Selene stepped forward, her expression resolute, though her insides churned with conflict. "Zara, you don’t have to do this. Whatever chaos has done to you, we can fix it. Fight it. I know you’re still in there." Zara tilted her head, her laughter echoing like shards of broken glass. "Still in there? Oh, Selene, I’ve never felt more free. Chaos didn’t take me, it revealed me." Kieran stepped beside Selene, his voice steady but firm. "She’s too far gone, Selene. This isn’t the Zara we knew. We can

    Selene’s legs trembled as she faced the chaos beast head-on. The air was thick with tension, and every breath she took felt heavier than the last. Kieran’s bloodied form on the ground haunted her, but her grip on her sword remained steady. She couldn’t afford to falter, not now. The beast snarled, its massive claws gouging deep into the earth. Its glowing eyes locked onto her, as if it were daring her to make the first move. "Selene, don’t!" Elias’s voice rang out, panicked but distant. She turned slightly, catching a glimpse of Elias struggling to his feet, the rusted sword still clutched tightly in his trembling hands. His determination was clear, but so was his fear. "You’ll get yourself killed!" he shouted. "Stay back, Elias," Selene ordered, her tone sharper than she intended. "I’ll handle this." The chaos beast lunged, its massive body moving with terrifying speed. Selene rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding its claws. The ground where she’d stood exploded in a clou

    The air was heavy with silence, broken only by the sound of Kieran’s shallow breaths. Selene wiped her tear-streaked face as she adjusted Kieran in her arms. The battlefield lay behind them, littered with the remnants of their struggle, but her focus was ahead. They needed to find shelter, safety, and time to regroup. “Elias, help me,” she whispered, her voice raw. Elias stepped forward without hesitation, his hands steady despite his trembling legs. Together, they lifted Kieran, his weight a sobering reminder of how close they had come to losing him. As they trudged through the dark forest, Selene couldn’t shake the image of Zara’s smirk. The way she had vanished so easily, leaving them battered and broken, burned into her memory. Every step felt like a reminder of how far they still had to go. “Do you think she’s watching us?” Elias asked quietly, his voice barely above a whisper. Selene glanced around, her grip tightening on her sword. “Probably. She wants us to feel vuln

    Selene's grip on her sword never loosened as she walked behind Aldric. Elias stayed close, his hand hovering near his blade. The rest of the refugees, a group of about ten, followed silently. Kieran, though still weak, insisted on walking, leaning heavily on Selene for support. The forest’s darkness seemed alive, the rustling leaves and distant sounds making every step heavier with unease. Selene’s mind raced as they moved deeper into the woods. Aldric’s group had been running from Zara’s forces, just like them, but something about his calm demeanor didn’t sit right. Why hadn’t they been attacked yet? What made them so certain Zara wouldn’t find them? “You’re quiet,” Elias muttered, breaking the silence. “I’m thinking,” Selene replied, her voice clipped. Elias frowned. “About whether we can trust them?” “Exactly.” Aldric glanced back, his dark eyes catching the moonlight. “I know you’re cautious,” he said, his voice low but steady. “You have every right to be. But I promis

    The sun rose sluggishly, casting pale light over the camp. The group stirred, weary and silent. Selene stood guard most of the night, her eyes on Aldric. Now, as the others prepared to leave, she felt a weight pressing against her chest. Trusting Aldric still didn’t feel right, but there was no other lead to follow. Elias approached her with two satchels. “Rations. Should last us until nightfall.” He paused, studying her tense expression. “You didn’t sleep.” “I couldn’t,” Selene said, tightening the strap of her sword sheath. “Still thinking about Aldric?” “Always.” Aldric approached them then, his face calm but serious. “We need to move. The area’s no longer safe.” Selene’s hand instinctively gripped her sword. “And how would you know that?” Aldric held up his hands. “Because I’ve been hunted before. Zara’s scouts will search this forest soon enough. If we’re still here when they do, we’re dead.” Selene exchanged a glance with Elias, then nodded reluctantly. “Fine. Le

    The whispers grew louder, their dissonant tones slithering through the narrow tunnel. Selene's heart thudded in her chest, her instincts screaming danger. The oppressive darkness seemed alive, pressing in on them from all sides. “Stay close,” she commanded, her voice sharp but low. Elias moved beside her, his dagger drawn and ready. “It feels... wrong here. Like the walls are watching us.” “They probably are,” Kieran muttered, his face pale but resolute. Aldric, at the front, turned his head slightly. “It’s just the tunnel playing tricks on your minds. Ignore it.” Selene didn’t believe him, not for a second. The whispers were too deliberate, too intentional, and they carried a faint sense of malice. As they pressed on, the glow of the moss began to fade, leaving them in near-total darkness. “We need light,” Selene said. Aldric reached into his satchel and retrieved a small crystal. He murmured something under his breath, and the crystal emitted a soft, golden glow. “Be

    The tunnel seemed endless, the walls closing in tighter with every step. Each footfall echoed eerily, as if the stone itself was alive, whispering secrets they weren’t meant to hear. Selene led the way, her sword held firmly in her grasp, her knuckles white with tension. The faint glow of Aldric’s crystal lit their path, but its light was dim, flickering uncertainty as though it might extinguish at any moment. “We’re running blind,” Elias muttered, his voice barely above a whisper. “We don’t have a choice,” Selene replied, her voice strained. Kieran, limping slightly, leaned heavily on his staff. “We can’t keep going like this. If we don’t find a way out soon, we’re finished.” “Keep moving,” Aldric said, his tone sharp. “Stopping is not an option.” Selene shot him a glare over her shoulder. “You’re awfully good at giving orders, considering this mess is partly your fault.” Aldric didn’t respond, his jaw set as he pushed ahead. The air grew colder as they descended deeper

    The further they ventured into the labyrinthine tunnels, the more oppressive the air became. Each step seemed to lead them deeper into a place where time lost all meaning, and shadows stretched far beyond their reach. The faint glow of Aldric’s crystal illuminated only a small section of the tunnel ahead, leaving much of their path veiled in darkness. Selene could feel her heart race as every corner they turned felt like a step closer to an unknown terror.“We’re too deep in,” Kieran murmured, his voice echoing against the stone. “We don’t even know if we’ll make it out alive.”“I know,” Selene replied quietly, her gaze fixed ahead. She didn’t want to show fear, not with Elias and the others relying on her, but the truth was she was scared. The tunnels were not just a physical challenge. The deeper they went, the more Selene felt like they were walking into something much worse than mere darkness. Something much darker was waiting.They walked in silence for a while longer, the quiet

    The morning sun bathed the city in golden hues, casting long shadows on the empty streets as Selene stood on the balcony of their new safehouse. The weight of the past months seemed to have lifted, replaced with the promise of a future she had only dreamed of. The battle with Damien was over. The victories, the sacrifices, the pain they had all led to this moment.Beside her, Leo stood in quiet contemplation, his hand gently resting on her shoulder. They had fought side by side through unimaginable trials, and now, as the world began to heal around them, they could finally breathe easy. The victory had come at a great cost, but they had emerged stronger, united."It's over, Selene," Leo whispered, his voice full of both relief and disbelief. "We did it."Selene smiled softly, turning to face him. "We did. But we wouldn't be without each other."Her gaze softened, memories of the dark times still fresh in her mind, but now tinged with a sense of peace. "I thought I'd lost everything,"

    The air in the hideout was tense, filled with an uneasy silence that seemed to press on everyone’s shoulders. Selene sat at the head of the table, a map of the city spread out before her. Red markers indicated the known locations of Damien’s operations, but there were gaps and dangerous blind spots they hadn’t been able to infiltrate. Mira leaned against the wall, arms crossed tightly over her chest. "We can’t just wait for Damien to strike again. He’s regrouping, and we all know he’s planning something big." Selene nodded, her fingers tracing one of the red markers. "That’s why we need to move first. We’ll hit this location tonight. If Damien’s there, we’ll end this once and for all." Leo frowned, his gaze flickering between Selene and the map. "It’s risky. He’ll be expecting us to retaliate." "Which is why we’ll be unpredictable," Selene replied, her tone firm. She looked up at the team, determination blazing in her eyes. "We’ve come too far to stop now." As night fell, th

    See who had been trailing behind to ensure they wouldn’t be caught off guard. The tables turned in an instant as gunfire erupted from both sides. Selene dove behind a stack of crates, her heart racing as bullets whizzed past her. She quickly assessed the situation: her team was outnumbered, but with their reinforcements, the odds weren’t as dire as they had initially seemed. "Leo, take the left flank!" she shouted, her voice cutting through the chaos. "Mira, cover the rear!" Leo nodded, his movements swift and calculated as he led a small group to attack from the side. Mira stayed close to Selene, her aim precise as she picked off enemies one by one. Damien, however, remained calm in the middle of the fray. He barked orders to his men, his confidence unshaken even as his forces began to dwindle. "You think this will stop me?" Damien yelled over the gunfire. "This is just the beginning!" Selene’s blood boiled at his arrogance. She broke from her cover, charging toward him w

    The air in the hideout was tense, thick with suspicion. Selene had barely slept, her mind replaying Victor’s warnings and the events of the previous night. Every glance exchanged among the team seemed loaded with unspoken accusations. The walls of trust that once bound them together were crumbling, brick by brick. Leo entered the room, his face etched with concern. "Selene, we need to talk." Selene folded her arms, her gaze unwavering. "About what?" He hesitated, then closed the door behind him. "Victor’s presence is causing more harm than good. Mira’s on edge, and the others are starting to question your decisions." Selene’s jaw tightened. "And you? Are you questioning me too?" Leo stepped closer, his voice soft but firm. "I trust you. Always. But I don’t trust him. You’re letting him stay here, and we don’t even know if he’s telling the truth." Selene sighed, the weight of leadership pressing down on her. "I don’t trust him either, but if there’s even a chance he knows s

    The tension within the hideout had grown unbearable. Every glance felt scrutinizing, every word dissected for hidden meanings. The idea of a traitor among them was like poison seeping into their unity. Selene sat in the corner, her arms crossed, trying to piece together the events at the warehouse. The man’s cryptic words haunted her: “Someone close to you.” Leo placed a cup of tea on the table in front of her, his expression soft but laced with worry. "You’ve been quiet since last night. What’s on your mind?" Selene shook her head, avoiding his gaze. "Just trying to make sense of it all. If there’s really a mole, they’ve been hiding in plain sight. And that terrifies me." Leo crouched beside her, his hand brushing hers. "We’ll figure it out. But we have to stick together, Selene. Doubting each other will only make us weaker." His touch sent a wave of warmth through her, a rare reprieve from the chaos around them. For a brief moment, she allowed herself to lean into his presen

    The air was tense as Selene paced back and forth in the dimly lit cabin they had chosen as their temporary hideout. The events of the last mission had left the group battered and divided. Trust, which had been their strongest weapon, was now fragile. Selene clenched her fists, her mind racing with thoughts of betrayal. Leo watched her from the corner, his gaze soft but worried. "Selene, you need to rest. We can't think straight when we're this wound up." Selene stopped and turned to him, her voice sharp. "Rest? How can I rest when someone out there is feeding information to our enemies? Anton’s death should have ended this, but it's like the nightmare won’t stop." Mira sat at the table, her fingers tapping nervously against her coffee cup. "We have to figure out who’s behind this. The ambush at the docks wasn’t random. Someone knew exactly where we’d be." As the group debated, a heavy silence fell over them. Suspicion lingered in every glance. The team had always relied on eac

    Smoke filled the air as the confrontation with Anton’s men reached its peak. Selene steadied herself, her breathing ragged, as she scanned the advancing group. Anton’s smug smile only fueled her determination. Leo stood beside her, his knuckles white as he gripped his weapon, while Mira leaned weakly against a tree, still recovering but clutching a dagger. "Ready to die for this?" Anton called out, his voice laced with mockery. Selene’s eyes narrowed. "I’m ready to fight for what’s right. Can you say the same?" Anton’s men began to spread out, forming a semicircle around them. The tension was palpable, the only sounds were the crackle of flames from the explosion and the distant rustling of leaves. Leo nudged Selene. "We need to split their focus. If we stay bunched up, we’re sitting ducks." Selene nodded, her mind racing. "You take the left flank. I’ll handle the right. Mira, stay hidden and only attack if you have a clear shot." Mira nodded weakly, her eyes filled with d

    The forest was deathly quiet after the ambush. Selene and Leo moved cautiously, their weapons drawn, scanning the shadows for any signs of danger. The betrayal by Elias had left Selene’s heart fractured, but there was no time to dwell on it. Every step forward was a gamble, but staying still was no longer an option. Leo walked ahead, his sharp gaze darting from tree to tree. "We need to find a secure location before they regroup. Anton won't let this go." Selene followed closely, her thoughts a whirlwind of emotions. Anger simmered beneath her skin, bubbling over every time she replayed Elias's betrayal in her mind. Yet, a sliver of doubt remained. Was his betrayal absolute, or was there something more to his actions? "You’re too quiet," Leo said, glancing back at her. "What am I supposed to say?" she snapped, her voice sharper than she intended. "Is everything fine? That Elias didn’t just sell us out to the enemy?" Leo sighed but didn’t respond. He knew her anger wasn’t dir

    The forest was eerily silent as Selene and Elias pressed forward, the weight of the explosion still heavy in their minds. Selene’s thoughts were a tangled mess of guilt, worry, and suspicion. The farther they went, the more the unease in her chest grew. Elias walked slightly ahead, his movements calculated and purposeful. She kept her distance, her grip tightening on her weapon. The memory of his hesitation earlier gnawed at her like a persistent itch. "Where are we even going?" Selene finally asked, her voice breaking the tense silence. Elias glanced over his shoulder, his expression calm but unreadable. "There’s another safe house a few miles from here. We’ll regroup there." "Did Leo mention it in his plan?" she probed, her tone laced with doubt. "He didn’t have time," Elias replied smoothly, though his gaze flickered for a brief second. "It’s something only a few of us know about." Selene’s jaw clenched. The logical part of her mind wanted to accept his explanation, but
