MY RUTHLESS MAFIA HUSBAND LOVES ME Chapter 172: A Part Unforseen
The forest seemed alive, its shadows shifting unnaturally as Selene, Leo, and Kira pressed forward. The weight of Damien’s betrayal hung heavily in the air, unspoken but felt by all. Selene’s thoughts raced, each memory of Damien as an ally now tainted by his chilling transformation. “We need to regroup,” Leo said, breaking the tense silence. “Damien knows our weaknesses. We can’t face him again without a plan.” Kira, ever the pragmatist, nodded. “He’s not just using the darkness. He’s become part of it. That kind of power… it’s not natural.” Selene tightened her cloak around her shoulders, her light dimmer than usual. “I should’ve seen the signs. He was always so quiet, always keeping things to himself. Maybe if I had ” “Stop,” Leo interrupted firmly. He turned to face her, his eyes blazing with conviction. “This isn’t your fault, Selene. Damien made his choice. And now, it’s up to us to stop him.” Kira glanced at Selene, her expression softening. “Leo’s right. Dwelling on

The group stood at the mouth of the last tunnel, their breaths visible in the icy air. Every step had led them to this moment, and the weight of what lay ahead pressed heavily on their shoulders. The flickering torchlight illuminated their faces, revealing the tension etched into their expressions.Sophia tightened her grip on the ancient artifact in her hand, a relic that Elyra had said was their only chance of sealing the Shadow King’s power. Its surface glowed faintly, pulsing with an energy that felt both comforting and ominous.“This is it,” Elyra said, her voice steady but somber. “Beyond this tunnel lies the Shadow King’s throne. Once we enter, there’s no turning back.”Leo stepped forward, his sword gleaming in the dim light. “We’ve come this far. There’s no way we’re stopping now.”Selene nodded, her bow slung over her shoulder. “We’ve faced worse. Whatever’s waiting for us, we’ll handle it together.”Aric, his usually cheerful demeanor subdued, placed a reassuring hand on So

The quiet of the forest was unsettling. Every step the trio took felt heavier than the last. Their bodies were tired, their spirits stretched thin, but there was no turning back. The air around them seemed to grow colder, the trees looming overhead like silent sentinels, watching their every move. Selene walked at the front, her steps hesitant, her mind racing with the events that had unfolded. Damien was still out there, his power growing stronger with each passing moment. She had always known he carried darkness within him, but she never imagined it would consume him entirely. The betrayal still stung, but there was no room for weakness. They needed answers, and they needed them now. “We need to find him before it’s too late,” Leo said, breaking the silence. His voice was steady, but there was a tension in his shoulders that betrayed his unease. “We’re running out of time.” Selene nodded, her gaze fixed ahead. “But where do we even begin looking? He’s out there, but how do we

The ground trembled beneath them as the dark tendrils lashed out, pulling Selene back. Her heart pounded in her chest, her breath coming in sharp, desperate gasps. Every movement felt sluggish as if the air itself had thickened, weighed down by the looming darkness surrounding them."Selene!" Leo's voice reached her, but the tendrils had already stretched across the clearing, dragging him away from her. She could barely make out his form as he struggled against their relentless grip.Selene gritted her teeth and called upon every ounce of power she could summon. Her eyes glowed faintly as she reached for the magic within her, desperate to break free. She wasn’t alone; Kira was on the other side, also fighting with every ounce of her strength. They had to stay together. They couldn’t lose each other now.The tendrils tightened, their black coils cutting into her skin, but Selene fought back with fierce determination. "You’re not taking me!" she shouted, her voice cracking with the shee

The chamber was silent, save for the low hum of the artifact in Sophia’s hands. The Shadow King loomed before them, his form a swirling mass of darkness and malice. His eyes burned red, piercing through each member of the group as if reading their innermost fears. Sophia tightened her grip on the artifact, its glow a small but steady beacon in the oppressive darkness. Beside her, Leo raised his sword, the blade shimmering faintly with the light imbued by Elyra’s magic. Selene had her bow drawn, an arrow notched and ready, while Aric and Elyra stood slightly behind, their expressions a mix of determination and dread. “So, you’ve made it this far,” the Shadow King said, his voice a deep, resonant growl that seemed to reverberate within their very bones. “Foolish mortals. Do you truly believe you can defy me?” “We don’t just believe,” Leo replied, stepping forward. “We know.” The Shadow King laughed, a chilling sound that echoed through the chamber. “Your courage is admirable, th

The world was spinning. Selene’s vision blurred as she stumbled forward, struggling to maintain her footing. Her head was pounding, and every breath felt like it came from deep within her soul. The shadows, they were closing in, suffocating everything in their path. It was as if the very air had turned to smoke, thick and impossible to breathe through.The battle had taken a toll on them all. Leo’s strength was fading. Kira’s once confident stance now wavered, and Damien Damien was slipping further into madness, into the abyss he had created.“Selene!” Leo’s voice cut through the haze, though it sounded distant. She turned her head, but everything around her seemed to be swallowed by the dark force growing stronger with every passing second. “Selene, we need to move. Now!”She nodded weakly, still trying to shake off the fog clouding her mind. The altar behind them was nothing more than a looming shadow now, flickering ominously. It was the last bastion of hope, the last place where t

The world seemed to collapse beneath them. Everything was turning to dust, disintegrating into nothingness as the rift tore open wider, consuming all in its wake. Selene ran, her heart pounding in her chest, as the darkness threatened to swallow her whole. She could feel the pull, the cold grip of the abyss reaching for her, dragging her closer to its edge. Leo was right beside her, but she barely noticed his presence. The loss of Damien still weighed heavily on her, and it took every ounce of willpower to not look back."We can't stop!" Leo's voice broke through her haze of grief. "Keep moving! We need to escape!"But how could they escape when the very ground beneath them was being torn apart? The earth shook violently, cracks spreading like spider webs beneath their feet. The sky was no better. The once-blue expanse had darkened into a swirling vortex, filled with strange, unnatural lights and shadows. It was as if the entire world had been plunged into a nightmare.“Damien…” Selen

The air was thick with tension as the group gathered in the dimly lit room. Shadows from the flickering candlelight danced across the walls, reflecting the unease that had settled among them. Leo stood at the center, his fists clenched and his jaw tight. Selene’s eyes darted between the others, her usual calm demeanor replaced with visible anxiety. The silence was suffocating, broken only by the steady drip of water from a crack in the ceiling.“We can’t keep ignoring it,” Leo said finally, his voice strained. “There’s something we’re missing right in front of us.”Noah leaned back against the wall, arms crossed, his expression unreadable. “You mean the way every lead we’ve followed has ended in a dead end? Or how someone always seems to be one step ahead of us?”A sharp intake of breath from Selene drew everyone’s attention. She hesitated, her fingers trembling slightly as she gripped the edge of the table. “I’ve been meaning to tell you something,” she admitted. “There’s… there’s so

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
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
