The air in the chamber was thick, suffocating, as Selene stood frozen, her heart torn between the man she loved and the Heartstone that could end it all. Every instinct told her to save Eli, to pull him back from the abyss that threatened to consume him. But something deep within her whispered that the Heartstone was the key. The power it held could save them both or destroy them entirely.

As the walls of the chamber began to close in, Selene’s chest tightened. The creature’s growls grew louder, reverberating through the stone. It was drawing closer, and she knew it wouldn’t be long before it was upon her.

Her eyes flickered to Eli, his expression cold, distant. The once bright and warm soul she had known seemed to have disappeared, replaced by something dark and unrecognizable. The glow in his eyes was now an unnatural shade, a sign that he had crossed a line from which there would be no return.

"Why, Eli?" she whispered, her voice shaking with emotion. "Why did you do this?"

  • MY RUTHLESS MAFIA HUSBAND LOVES ME   Chapter 55: The Price of Power

    Selene's pulse raced as the creature's grip tightened around her wrist. The cold, unnatural energy emanating from its claws sent shivers through her entire body, and she could feel the pulse of the Heartstone still raging inside her chest. It was as though she was being torn between two worlds one where the power was her salvation, and the other where it was her destruction.She gasped for air, trying to pull away, but the creature’s hold was relentless, unyielding. Its glowing eyes bore into hers, as if it could see straight into her soul. For a moment, all she could do was stare at it, paralyzed by the sheer terror it invoked.But then, a spark of defiance ignited within her. No. She wasn’t going to let this thing consume her. She had to fight. She had to find a way out."Let go of me!" Selene shouted, summoning every ounce of strength she had left.The creature laughed a deep, guttural sound that sent chills down her spine. It pulled her closer, its face twisting into a grotesque g

  • MY RUTHLESS MAFIA HUSBAND LOVES ME   Chapter 56: The Darkness Within

    Selene’s body felt weightless. She couldn’t tell if she was falling or floating, the sensation disorienting and strange. The darkness surrounded her, thick and suffocating, yet strangely comforting, like the embrace of an old, familiar friend. Her heart still pounded in her chest, but the fear that had once gripped her now felt distant, as though she had stepped outside herself.Where was she? What had happened to Eli? Was he still alive?The questions swirled in her mind, but she had no answers. The world was silent. No sounds of the creature’s growls, no rumble of the collapsing ground. Just a deep, all-encompassing silence that left her feeling hollow and small.Her fingers twitched, and suddenly, a spark of light flickered in the distance. At first, it was faint, almost imperceptible, but then it grew brighter, drawing her in. Without thinking, she moved toward it, her legs carrying her through the darkness as though guided by an unseen force.As she walked, she began to feel a st

    Selene’s heart pounded in her chest as she reached for the light. Her mind screamed at her to move faster, but the darkness seemed to slow her down, thick and heavy like molasses. Her body felt leaden, her limbs sluggish as if the very air around her was trying to hold her back.And then, she saw him.Eli.His form appeared, standing at the edge of the light, his back turned to her. He was motionless, his shoulders slumped, as if he were waiting for something or someone.“Eli!” Selene’s voice broke through the silence, ragged with relief and disbelief. “Eli, it’s me! I’m here!”For a moment, he didn’t respond. Her breath caught in her throat as she took a tentative step forward, her eyes glued to his figure.Then, slowly, he turned.The look in his eyes was empty, distant nothing like the Eli she knew. There was no warmth, no recognition in his gaze. He looked… lost. Broken.“Eli?” Selene whispered, her voice trembling as she reached out to him, her fingers brushing against the cold,

    Selene gasped as she fell into the void, her heart racing, her mind spinning with the overwhelming sensation of falling, the darkness swallowing her whole. For a moment, she felt weightless, as if everything around her had disappeared, leaving her stranded in a black abyss.Then, with a harsh jolt, she hit the ground.She lay there for a moment, gasping for breath, her chest rising and falling in quick, shallow motions. Her body ached from the impact, but it was nothing compared to the pain in her heart the anguish of losing Eli, of seeing him slip away into the clutches of the Heartstone.No… no, this couldn’t be happening. She couldn’t let it happen.With trembling hands, Selene pushed herself up, her knees scraping against the cold stone beneath her. She glanced around, trying to make sense of her surroundings. The darkness was all-encompassing, the air thick and suffocating.But there was something else something faintly glowing in the distance. A flicker of light, barely visible,

    Selene’s heart was still racing from her encounter with Eli. Her mind was clouded with confusion and fear, but beneath it all, there was a thread of determination. She had to move forward. She had to find him.The air around her seemed to thicken as she stepped deeper into the darkness, the coldness pressing in on her from all sides. The whispering voice that had called her name continued to echo through the vast emptiness. It was low and eerie, but it wasn’t just the darkness that made her skin crawl. There was something familiar about it, something she couldn’t quite place.She gritted her teeth, shaking off the feeling of dread that clung to her. She couldn’t let herself be distracted by the whispers. Not now. Not when Eli was still out there, somewhere, slipping further away from her grasp.The glow from the far-off light was now clearer, and Selene’s steps grew more urgent. Each movement was a battle against the overwhelming sense of loss that threatened to swallow her whole. She

    Selene’s heart raced as she stood frozen, staring into Eli’s eyes. Her mind was swirling, the words he had spoken echoing in her head: *Run*. But her body refused to move. She couldn’t just leave him here, not after everything they had been through. Not after everything they still could be.“Eli… what’s happening to you?” Her voice trembled as she took a cautious step forward. Every part of her screamed to reach him, to pull him away from the Heartstone, but something was keeping her from moving closer. The air felt thick, heavy, almost suffocating, as if the very atmosphere had been twisted by the stone’s dark influence.Eli’s eyes, once warm and full of life, were now hollow. His face, usually so full of emotion, was now as cold and lifeless as the stone he was bound to. He didn’t move, didn’t even blink. Just stared at her with a quiet, haunting intensity.“You have to leave,” he whispered again, his voice distant, as if he wasn’t entirely aware of her presence. “You don’t understa

    The global round Selene seemed too sluggish as the ground underneath her persisted to tremble. Dust and debris rained down from the crumbling ceiling, and she could barely make out the faint outline of Eli’s silhouette through the haze. He stood motionless, absolutely disconnected from the chaos unfolding around them. Her pulse raced. Fear gripped her chest, however she couldn’t go away from him. Not now, no longer when she changed into so near. She reached for him, ignoring the rumbling below her feet, desperate to pull him far from the Heartstone that seemed to have assured him in an unbreakable keep."Eli!" she cried, her voice strained. "We need to go away! Now!"But Eli didn’t reply. His body was nonetheless as stone, his gaze blank. It was like he had already gone completely eaten up by way of whatever darkish force had taken over him. Selene’s heart twisted painfully in her chest, her body shaking with an aggregate of worry and desperation. She reached out once more, her arms

    The sound of the earth splitting echoed through the chamber, the tremors shaking Selene to her center. She had no time to assume no time to hesitate. The walls were crumbling, and the very basis of the temple under her was falling aside. The Heartstone, its energy seeping into every crevice of the place, becomes ripping the whole thing apart, which includes her sanity.Eli stood before her, his expression hole, as though his very soul had been torn away and changed with something darkish, something incomprehensible. She reached out to him, however, the air around her appeared to thicken like it was pushing her again, cautioning her to stay away. But she couldn't leave him like this. She couldn't abandon the character she cherished, now not whilst he became so close, so close to the edge of being misplaced forever.“Eli!” Selene shouted, her voice slightly growing above the deafening sound of the destruction around them. Her coronary heart ached with the burden of the moment, the real

    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
