Rhian stood frozen, her eyes locked on Damon’s pale face. “Then they’re here for you,” she said, her voice trembling.

Damon turned from the window, urgency in his eyes. “No, Rhian. They’re here for us. They won’t leave witnesses this time.”

Her breath hitched.

Damon scanned the room quickly. His vision flicked over broken shelves, crates, rusted metal, and old debris—nothing useful. Nothing strong enough to barricade a real assault.

He gritted his teeth. “We have seconds, maybe less.”

Damon braced himself for the next wave of bullets, breath ragged, finger tight on the trigger—ready to fight to his last breath.

But then the shouting changed.

Not orders to kill.

But voices he recognized.

“Clear! We’ve got them—Damon’s in here!”

Heavy boots stormed in from the hallway, but this time it wasn’t the enemy. Black gear. Familiar faces. His men.

Damon blinked, the fog of adrenaline slowly lifting as four of them rushed to his side.

“Are you alright?” one of them asked, crouching beside him. A

  • I Married a Mafia King!   Chapter 14: I'll keep you safe

    The morning light filtered in weakly through the cracks in the boarded-up windows, casting long, dusty beams across the storage room floor. Everything felt still—like the world was holding its breath after the storm.Damon stirred first.His body ached in a dozen places, the sharp throb in his side reminding him he was still alive. Slowly, he sat up, suppressing a grunt of pain as he adjusted his position.Rhian lay beside him, her head resting on his lap, her face turned slightly toward him. Her lashes fluttered faintly in sleep, lips parted just enough to show she was still breathing softly. Peaceful—for once.Carefully, as if afraid to wake her, Damon reached out and brushed a strand of hair away from her forehead. His fingers lingered there a moment too long, his touch gentle, tentative.“I know you’re scared,” he whispered, his voice barely audible in the silence. “And I’m sorry… if I made you feel like that.”His thumb lightly stroked across her temple as he spoke—an apology he

    Rhian panicked as she watched Damon clutch his abdomen, blood seeping through his fingers. His face was pale, but he still tried to mask the pain, forcing himself to stay upright, his expression unreadable.“I’ll take you to the hospital,” she said, her voice trembling. She had no idea where the nearest one even was—but she didn’t care. He needed help.“No,” he muttered, trying to sound calm. “I can handle this myself.”He spoke with that same casual, cool tone he always used, as if the pain didn’t touch him—as if bleeding out was just a mild inconvenience.“But you’ve lost a lot of blood,” she argued, her voice rising. “You can’t even stand on your own!”“I’ll be fine,” he said through clenched teeth, clearly not fine at all.Ignoring him, Rhian stepped closer and placed his arm around her shoulder. “Come on. Let’s go.”He didn’t protest this time. His weight sagged against her, heavier than she expected, but she held on.They found shelter in an abandoned storage room two blocks fro

  • I Married a Mafia King!   Chapter 12: When hate isn't enough

    The masked men still have their guns aimed. Damon stands protectively in front of Rhian, tense and silent. The leader cocks his weapon. Rhian watches, her breath shaking, hands frozen around the blanket.“Don’t shoot him…” Rhian's voice cracked and almost audible, the gun shifts toward Damon’s head. Damon doesn’t flinch, but Rhian’s voice rises, desperate now.“Please—stop! Don’t kill him!” The men glance at her, surprised. Damon turns slightly, eyes flicking toward her.“He’s the target. He’s the one we came for. If we kill him now then you can go,” the leader simply stated but Rhian couldn't stand seeing someone to sacrifice just to save her life.“Then take me instead! Just—just don’t kill him!” she panicked saying this words."Stop it, Rhian! I don't want you to get killed just because of me," his voice is firm.“I hate you… I hate what you did to me. But I don’t want to watch you die.” Rhian's eyes started to filled with tears and her voice cracked. “I don’t care what you’ve don

  • I Married a Mafia King!   Chapter 11: It was real

    Rhian slowly opened her eyes.At first, everything was a blur—colors bleeding into one another, the light too soft to recognize. Her head throbbed, and for a moment, she couldn’t remember anything.As her vision gradually cleared, she realized she was lying on a soft bed in an unfamiliar room. The air smelled faintly of lavender and leather. The curtains were drawn, dimming the space around her in muted orange light.“Where… am I?” she whispered hoarsely, her voice barely audible to herself.She tried to sit up, but her body felt heavy, as though it hadn’t moved in days.Then she saw him.A man stood a few feet away, his back turned to her. Broad shoulders, perfect posture—his silhouette alone was unmistakable.Her breath caught.“Who is… this man?” she murmured, her thoughts sluggish, disoriented. But her heart already knew.And then the memory slammed into her.The hostage situation. The gun pressed against her.She remembered his voice clearly, how he said those words that shattere

    Her knees nearly gave out.The voice was unmistakable—deep, calm, controlled. A voice etched into her nightmares… and, impossibly, her sense of safety.Damon.Rhian’s heart twisted painfully.Hope surged—raw and wild—only to be crushed by the sharp edge of dread. Of all people… why him?The gunman stiffened behind her. There was a pause, thick and tense, as if even the air didn’t dare move.Rhian dared a glance over her shoulder, and there he was—Damon, stepping into the open, hands slightly raised, his eyes locked not on her, but on the man holding her hostage.Her breath hitched. “Damon…” she whispered, voice shaking, confused, terrified.The grip around her neck didn’t loosen.“You heard me,” Damon said, his voice cold steel. “Drop the gun. Let her go. Now.”The gunman didn’t respond.Rhian’s pulse throbbed in her ears, drowning out everything. She didn’t know who to fear more—the stranger with the weapon or the man who always found her, no matter where she ran.But in that moment—
