MY RUTHLESS MAFIA HUSBAND LOVES ME Chapter 164: Legacy of Memories
Selene awoke to the sound of rustling leaves, her body aching from the battle. Her vision slowly adjusted to the soft glow of morning light filtering through the forest canopy. She felt Leo’s steady presence beside her, his hand still resting over hers as if afraid to let go. “Morning,” Leo said softly, noticing her stir. She managed a faint smile. “Morning. Are we…safe?” Leo glanced around, his face somber. “For now. But something tells me this isn’t over.” Selene sat up, her body screaming in protest. The memory of the battle was fresh in her mind, along with the creature’s cryptic warning: “You cannot escape destiny.” A chill ran down her spine. Leo handed her a flask of water he’d scavenged from their supplies. “We need to figure out our next move. Whatever that thing was, I doubt it’s the last we’ll face.” Selene nodded, her thoughts racing. “There’s something I need to tell you,” she began hesitantly, her eyes avoiding him. Leo frowned. “What is it?” She hesitate

The cavern’s cold silence pressed heavily on the group as they descended deeper into the mountain. The silver-haired woman, who had introduced herself as Elyra, led the way, her glowing staff lighting their path. The faint hum of energy radiating from the staff made the air feel charged, almost alive.Sophia walked close behind Elyra, her mind racing with questions. Who was this mysterious guide, and how did she know so much about the shadows? Was she really an ally, or was she leading them into a trap?Leo, ever protective, stayed at Sophia’s side, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword. His sharp gaze never left Elyra, and his distrust was evident. “How much farther?” he asked, his voice cutting through the oppressive silence.“Not much,” Elyra replied without turning around. “But be warned, the deeper we go, the more the mountain will test you. It will prey on your fears and your doubts. You must remain strong.”Sophia exchanged a worried glance with Selene, who was walking slig

The cold mountain air stung their faces as Selene, Leo, and Kira pressed onward. The forest had thinned, giving way to jagged rocks and narrow trails that spiraled up the steep slopes. The sense of foreboding grew heavier with each step, as if the mountain itself were alive and watching them. “Are we even sure this temple exists?” Leo asked, breaking the silence. His breath was visible in the freezing air, and his voice carried a hint of frustration. “It exists,” Kira replied curtly, her eyes scanning the path ahead. “The stories don’t lie. But whether we survive the journey to reach it is another question.” Selene remained quiet, her thoughts consumed by the memory of the shadowy figure she had spotted the night before. She hadn’t told Leo or Kira, fearing it would only heighten their unease. Yet she couldn’t shake the feeling that they were being followed. “Selene,” Leo said, his voice pulling her back to the present. “You okay?” She nodded, though her expression betrayed

The glowing eyes in the darkness froze them in place, their breaths shallow and hearts pounding. Selene could feel her pulse racing as the ominous chant continued, growing louder and more oppressive with every second. Kira was the first to move. “Weapons up,” she hissed, her voice a razor-sharp whisper. She drew her twin blades, their edges gleaming faintly in the moonlight. Leo stepped protectively in front of Selene, his sword gripped tightly in his hands. “Stay close,” he said, his tone low but commanding. Selene’s mind raced. Her energy pulsed under her skin, restless and alive, but her fear of losing control made her hesitate. She clenched her fists, trying to focus, as the shadows around them seemed to ripple and move. From the darkness, one of the creatures stepped forward. Its body was humanoid but grotesquely distorted, with long, spindly limbs and a gaping mouth filled with sharp teeth. Its glowing eyes fixed on Selene, and it let out a guttural snarl. “What are th

The mountain roared as the monstrous shadows surged forward. Selene’s heart pounded, her body tense as adrenaline surged through her veins. The hooded figure’s chilling smile didn’t waver as the air filled with the sound of grinding rock and guttural growls. “Stay together!” Kira barked, unsheathing her twin blades. She was the first to charge, her movements fluid and precise, meeting the first wave of shadow beasts head-on. Leo stepped beside Selene, sword raised, his jaw clenched. “We can’t win this by fighting blind,” he said, his voice strained but steady. “Selene, can you sense anything? Weaknesses?” Selene closed her eyes, trying to drown out the chaos around her. Her energy stirred within, pulling her focus deeper into the darkness surrounding them. Flashes of light and whispers echoed in her mind, and then she saw a crack in the wall, faintly glowing. “There!” she shouted, pointing toward the far end of the cavern. “The wall it’s a doorway! That’s where the source of t

The dawn’s light painted the horizon in hues of gold and crimson, but the trio’s steps were heavy as they descended the mountain. Selene, though exhausted, walked with renewed purpose. Leo kept close to her side, his gaze constantly scanning their surroundings, while Kira moved ahead, her blades still unsheathed. The silence between them was thick, not from relief but from unspoken questions. “Where do we go now?” Selene finally asked, breaking the stillness. Her voice was steady but carried a tinge of uncertainty. Kira glanced back, her expression unreadable. “To the ruins,” she replied. “If the hooded figure was just a fragment of the darkness, the answers lie in the ruins of Lyria.” Selene frowned. The ruins of Lyria were a forbidden place, shrouded in legend and fear. Few who ventured there returned, and those who did spoke of ghostly whispers and visions of despair. “We don’t even know if the ruins hold anything useful,” Leo argued, his tone edged with concern. “What if i

The shadow creatures surged forward, their forms shifting and twisting as they advanced. The air was thick with tension, and every sound seemed to amplify the scrape of boots against stone, the low growls of the creatures, and the pounding of hearts. Selene’s energy glowed brighter, casting the shadowy figures in sharp contrast. Her hands trembled, but she steadied herself. “We have to hold them off,” she said, her voice firm despite the fear bubbling beneath. Leo stepped forward, sword drawn. “No running this time,” he said, flashing a quick grin at Selene. “We fight.” Kira nodded, her blades glinting in the faint light of the obelisk. “Stay close, and don’t hesitate.” The creatures moved faster now, their jagged limbs clawing at the ground as they lunged. Leo met the first wave head-on, his sword slicing through the shadows. The creatures let out shrill cries, dissolving into wisps of smoke, but more took their place. Kira spun into action, her movements fluid and precise.

The night was unusually quiet, the kind of silence that pressed against the ears and warned of impending doom. Selene, Leo, and Kira trudged through the dense forest, their footsteps muffled by the moss-covered ground. The air was heavy with an eerie tension, and every shadow seemed alive with malice. “We should stop soon,” Leo said, glancing at Selene. Her face was pale, her exhaustion clear despite her attempts to hide it. “I’m fine,” she replied sharply, her voice betraying her weariness. Kira, walking slightly ahead, didn’t look back. “We can’t afford to stop. We’re being followed.” Leo tensed, his hand instinctively going to his sword. “How long?” “Since we left the ruins,” Kira replied. “I’ve counted at least three, maybe four shadows tailing us. They’re keeping their distance, but they’re there.” Selene’s light flickered faintly around her hands as she tried to summon the energy to strengthen it. “Then we draw them out. We can’t let them report back to whatever’s co

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
MY RUTHLESS MAFIA HUSBAND LOVES ME Chapter 190: The Web Tightens
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
MY RUTHLESS MAFIA HUSBAND LOVES ME Chapter 189: Rise from the Ashes
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
MY RUTHLESS MAFIA HUSBAND LOVES ME Chapter 188: A Destiny Fulfilled
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
MY RUTHLESS MAFIA HUSBAND LOVES ME Chapter 186: A Fragile Alliance
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
MY RUTHLESS MAFIA HUSBAND LOVES ME Chapter 185: Betrayal in the Shadow
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
