Rhian and her husband Damon walked side by side along the garden path, the night air cool against her skin. She had expected nothing more than a quiet stroll after dinner, but the warmth of his hand gripping hers caught her off guard.

Her first instinct had been to slip her hand away. Damon wasn’t the type to show affection so openly in front of others, and truthfully, neither was she. But for some reason, she couldn’t bring herself to pull free. The way his long fingers wrapped firmly around hers, as though refusing to let her go, made her heart beat faster. She hated how much she liked it.

Still, it was impossible to ignore what was happening around them.

She felt it before she fully noticed — the subtle change in the air, the hush that followed wherever they went. People along the pathway stopped mid-conversation when they saw them. Small groups scattered near the fountain quickly lowered their voices. Eyes lingered, staring at Damon with a mix of curiosity and something else. Fear

  • I Married a Mafia King!   EPILOGUE: Ordinary Happiness

    The morning sun poured gently through the curtains, painting the bedroom in shades of gold. A soft breeze filtered in from the half-open window, carrying the scent of blooming jasmine from the garden below. Birds chirped happily outside, the sound blending with the faint clatter of dishes from somewhere in the kitchen where the house staff had already begun their day. But here, in this private cocoon of warmth, the world felt still—suspended in a rare kind of peace.Rhian stirred awake, blinking against the soft light. For a long moment she lay quietly, letting her eyes adjust as she took in the familiar room that had once been so intimidating to her. The heavy furniture, the expensive paintings, the sheer size of the bed—all of it once screamed of Damon’s untouchable power. Yet now, they felt softened, no longer symbols of fear but pieces of a life she had come to call her own.She turned on her side, her lips curling into a faint smile at the sight that greeted her. Damon lay beside

  • I Married a Mafia King!   FINAL CHAPTER: Home At Last

    The sun dipped low over the horizon, painting the sky in strokes of gold and crimson. The wind carried the soft scent of jasmine from the garden, where a little girl’s laughter echoed through the air.Damon stood frozen at the gate of the house, his dark eyes locked on the small figure running barefoot on the grass. She had Rhian’s delicate features—the curve of her cheeks, the brightness of her smile—but her piercing gaze, sharp and intense, was his.His daughter.Two years he had spent in the shadows, haunted by battles, enemies, and guilt. Yet nothing—no throne, no empire, no vengeance—could prepare him for the overwhelming pull he felt now.Rhian stood a few steps away, watching silently. Her arms were crossed, but there was no more hatred in her gaze. Just caution. And beneath that, something softer. Something Damon dared not name yet.The little girl noticed him. She tilted her head, curiosity brimming in her eyes. “Mama,” she called out, tugging Rhian’s dress. “Who is that man?

  • I Married a Mafia King!   Chapter 83: Shattered Crowns and Fragile Hearts

    The night stretched long after Damon’s revelation. Rhian hadn’t moved from where she stood, her arms wrapped tightly around herself as if shielding her heart from breaking all over again. Damon remained nearby, watching her silently, as though any wrong move might send her running.For two years she had cursed his name, buried her love beneath ashes of anger. But now—after everything he revealed—her anger felt like quicksand. The more she clung to it, the deeper she sank into confusion.“Rhian,” Damon finally broke the silence, his voice low, almost pained. “You deserve to know everything. Not just about your father. Not just about Villareal. About me.”Her heart skipped. She didn’t answer, but she didn’t walk away either.Damon drew a sharp breath, his eyes glinting in the dim streetlight. “I wasn’t just your husband, Rhian. I wasn’t just a businessman. I was—no, I am—a king.” His lips curled bitterly. “A king of the underworld. The one people whisper about, the one they fear but nev

    It was late evening when Rhian left her office. Manila’s skyline glittered under the weight of the night, but her heart was too heavy to appreciate the view.Her daughter was already at home with the nanny, sleeping peacefully. And here she was—alone again. Always alone.Her father’s death still haunted her, even after two years. She had tried burying the pain with work, with motherhood, but every night when silence wrapped around her, the same questions returned.Why?Who?And why did Damon never admit it?Rhian gripped her purse tighter, her heels clicking against the marble floor of the company’s lobby. The guards greeted her politely, but she only gave them a brief nod before stepping out into the night air.And then she froze.Leaning casually against the hood of a black car parked just outside was Damon.Her breath caught, her pulse raced, but anger quickly surged through her veins, drowning any weakness. Her jaw tightened.“What are you doing here?” she snapped, her voice sharp

  • I Married a Mafia King!   Chapter 81: The Encounter After Two Years

    The late afternoon sun cast a golden glow over the busy streets of Manila. Cars honked in endless lines, street vendors called out their last sales for the day, and the world seemed too alive for Rhian, who had just come out of her father’s old company building with a heavy sigh.Two years.Two years of running the business her father left behind. Two years of endless struggles balancing work, grief, and single motherhood.And yet here she was, still standing. Still breathing. For her daughter.Her little girl tugged at her hand, wide eyes staring at the ice cream cart parked nearby.“Mama, ice cweam!” the child squealed, bouncing on her small feet.Rhian’s heart softened immediately. How could she say no? Kneeling down, she tucked a loose strand of hair behind her daughter’s ear and smiled.“Okay, sweetheart. But only one scoop, alright?”The girl clapped her hands in delight, her giggles making strangers around them smile.Rhian held her daughter close as they walked toward the cart

  • I Married a Mafia King!   Chapter 80: A Beginning

    The sirens had echoed through the night that evening, red and blue lights flashing against the mansion walls. Rhian stood at the gates, her hands trembling as she watched the police storm inside with their orders.It had taken every ounce of courage she had left to sign the complaint against Damon. To accuse him openly of murdering her father. Her chest had burned with pain as she gave the statement, her voice steady even while her heart screamed.“I know it was him. Arrest my husband. Arrest Damon Alejandro.”She thought that would be the end.But it wasn’t.Because when the police entered the mansion, Damon was gone. His clothes, his weapons, his presence—all vanished like smoke. Not even the faintest trace remained. The staff claimed they knew nothing. The investigators scoured every corner, every safehouse, but Damon had disappeared as if he never existed.Rhian stood outside the mansion gates as the lead officer shook his head.“He’s not here, Mrs. Alcaraz. It looks like… he knew
