All Chapters of MY RUTHLESS MAFIA HUSBAND LOVES ME: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

The air around Eli crackled with energy, his body trembling with an intensity that seemed both terrifying and unnatural. His glowing eyes fixed on Selene, and for a moment, she felt as if he wasn’t the same person who had been by her side through all of this. “Eli?” Her voice was barely a whisper as she crawled toward him, fear creeping into her chest. “What’s happening to you?”His smile twisted into something far more sinister. “What’s happening to me?” he repeated, his voice low and chilling. “I’ve finally realized the true power I’ve been seeking.”Selene’s heart pounded. This wasn’t Eli. It couldn’t be. She had seen the way he had fought to protect her, the way he had cared for their group. This… this was something else entirely. Something that felt wrong.The others slowly regained their senses, their faces filled with confusion and fear. Aria was the first to stand, her eyes darting from Selene to Eli, then to the relic still glowing in his hand.“What did you do?” Aria asked,

Selene’s breath caught in her throat as Eli stepped toward her, his form distorted by the dark power that now consumed him. His eyes glowed with an eerie, unnatural light, and his once familiar features seemed to shift and distort with each step he took. It was as though the Eli she knew was no longer there, replaced by something far darker.“Eli, please, what happened?” Selene’s voice trembled as she tried to keep her distance, though her heart screamed for him to be the person she remembered.His lips curled into a grin, though it was devoid of warmth, of any hint of the Eli she had known. "You wanted to save me, Selene," he said, his voice deep and almost unrecognizable. "But now, look what you've done. You released me from my chains."Selene’s stomach twisted. “I never wanted this. I just wanted to help you, to bring you back.” She took a cautious step forward, trying to reach out to the person he once was. "Eli, fight it! You don't have to do this."But Eli's laugh was cold and d

The darkness that surrounded them felt suffocating, pressing in on every side. Selene’s pulse raced as she tried to make sense of Darian’s cryptic words. The shadows, though, seemed to distort with every step, almost alive, swirling and twisting in the air like they were sentient.“What does he mean, the real battle?” Aria whispered, her voice barely audible as she huddled close to Selene.“I don’t know,” Selene replied, her mind reeling. She couldn’t shake the feeling that they were being drawn into something much bigger, something they were not prepared for. “But I don’t like it.”Leo stood a few paces away, his sword drawn, eyes scanning the endless abyss. “Whatever it is, we’re going to face it together. We’ve faced worse and survived.”Selene nodded, but her mind wasn’t entirely on Leo’s words. Her thoughts kept returning to Eli. Had he truly vanished? Or had he been taken somewhere by the shadows? The uncertainty gnawed at her insides.Suddenly, the ground beneath them trembled,

Selene’s hand trembled as it hovered above the Heart of the Maze, her fingers inches away from releasing its full power. The pressure in the air was almost suffocating, and she could feel the storm of magic swirling around her. Eli’s words echoed in her mind, pulling at her heart, and for the first time since they had arrived, she questioned everything.“Please… don’t let me go,” Eli’s voice was so fragile, so broken, that it pierced through the very core of her being. She couldn’t bear it. The image of him her friend, her confidant, the one who had always been there was slipping away, consumed by darkness. But he was still there, wasn’t he? Somewhere inside the monster he had become, was the Eli she knew?The choice was more agonizing than anything she had ever faced. If she used the Heart’s power, would it restore him, or would it be too late? What if the price was too high, and it cost her the very essence of what made her who she was?“Selene, you have to make a decision,” Lysand

Selene’s pulse quickened as she pushed forward through the thickening shadows. The eerie voice that had warned her to not trust Eli still echoed in her mind, its sinister tone tugging at her thoughts. Could she truly believe what she had seen? Could she risk trusting him when everything felt so wrong?Her heart pounded in her chest as she approached the faint sound of Eli’s voice, still calling her name. It was distant, but it was definitely him. It had to be. He was alive he had to be.She quickened her pace, determined to reach him before the darkness consumed her thoughts. But as she walked, the air grew heavier, colder. Her feet felt like they were sinking into the ground, and each step seemed to echo far too loudly in the silence. She knew she was getting closer. The distant cry of her name grew clearer, but there was something else. A strange humming sound that seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere all at once.“Eli?” she whispered urgently, her breath catching in her throa
