Rampage Island buzzed with a quiet tension. Though the waves outside remained peaceful and the wind soft against the trees, within the walls of the temporary safehouse Reina now called home, things were shifting. She felt it in the way Wayne checked his satellite phone every hour, or how Melody's eyes scanned every bush and rock like a trained hawk.

Reina stepped out of her room that morning, wearing a plain white cotton dress. Her hair, still wet from her shower, fell over her shoulders as she walked barefoot to the shaded balcony where Nate stood sipping coffee.

“You didn’t sleep,” she said gently.

Nate didn’t look at her, only nodded. “Neither did Wayne. He got two messages from Ax around three a.m.”

“Is it bad?” she asked, gripping the wooden railing.

“It’s getting riskier to stay here. We’ve been quiet, but Gabriel’s men are spreading. Ax said they tracked down a man from the port who vaguely remembers seeing you.”

Reina’s shoulders tensed. “So what now?”

“We go underground. Or w

  • Marrying The Mafia Boss' Daugther   Chapter 24

    The days passed in a rhythmic blur on Rampage Island.Nestled deep in the folds of the Philippine archipelago and shielded by natural rock formations and dense foliage, the island was the perfect sanctuary—remote, undisturbed, and virtually invisible to outside eyes. Reina, Nate, Melody, and Wayne had carved out a temporary life here, but beneath the sunlit beach and rustling coconut trees, tension ran like an undercurrent in their every movement.Reina sat alone on a makeshift bamboo chair, her eyes fixed on the endless horizon. Her hands clutched the old journal Wayne had given her—once her father’s, now hers. Each page was a reminder of everything she had lost, everything she had chosen to escape.A soft breeze carried the scent of salt and earth. In the distance, Nate was teaching Melody how to spear fish. Wayne had disappeared into the trees earlier that morning to establish radio silence and sweep the perimeter.But Reina couldn’t focus on survival tasks—not yet. Her mind was co

    Chiang Mai, Thailand – the city of misty mountains, vibrant temples, and endless silk bazaars. To any outsider, it was a picturesque haven steeped in tradition. But to Reina, it was nothing more than a temporary cage — one gilded with protection, hidden identities, and a constant fear of being found.They arrived under new aliases: Reina became Sarai Velasquez, a young Filipina entrepreneur investing in local wellness retreats. Nate became Michael Serrano, her business partner and fiancé. Melody played the role of their cheerful cousin from Cebu. Wayne, though resistant, took the name Caleb Morales, the stoic older brother who handled security and legal matters.The house they settled into was in the outskirts of the city, surrounded by rice paddies and the soft hum of cicadas at night. It was discreet, protected by agents loyal to Ax, and away from the crowded city center. But despite the peace, Reina couldn’t sleep.Her dreams were riddled with fire, gunshots, and Gabriel’s icy voic

    Gabriel stood on the rooftop of an abandoned hotel, his coat flapping violently in the wind. He had just received confirmation from one of his men—Reina had been spotted in Sarangani. But by the time his forces arrived, the boat was gone.“They’re heading for Thailand,” Natasha said over the phone, her voice tight.Gabriel clenched the phone in his hand. “She’s working with Ax, isn’t she?”“There’s no confirmation, but... it’s likely.”Gabriel’s laugh was dry and dangerous. “So this is his play. To use my bride-to-be as a weapon.”“She was never yours, Gabriel,” Natasha reminded him gently.“She was mine the moment the engagement was signed.”“You never saw her, Gabriel. Not really.”He ended the call without another word.Turning to his lieutenants, Gabriel barked orders. “I want operatives in Thailand. Chiang Mai, Phuket, even the borders of Laos and Myanmar. Anyone she talks to, anyone who offers her shelter—I want them tracked.”“Yes, boss.”“And contact TRIAD's underground connec

    The sound of the waves had changed.Reina sat at the edge of a rocky bluff overlooking the ocean, the soft crash of the surf below echoing her racing thoughts. The hideout in Burma had become their new base—quiet, secluded, and surrounded by high hills and forest trails. A perfect place to disappear... or to plan something greater.She wasn’t sure which she needed more.Wayne approached, the crunch of his boots over gravel pulling her from her thoughts. He dropped a folder beside her.“Intelligence from Hiron,” he said. “Gabriel’s searching every port in Mindanao. He already sniffed around Davao and Zamboanga. We estimate three days before he realizes you’re no longer in the country.”Reina opened the folder. Satellite photos. Port logs. Redacted flight data. Her brows furrowed as she took it all in—not as a helpless target, but as someone who now needed to act.“We can’t keep running,” she said without looking up. “Sooner or later, he’ll catch up. And next time, we might not have tim

    Sunlight filtered through the thin curtains of the bamboo hut, painting golden lines across the wooden floor. Reina stirred gently beneath the woven blanket, her body sore but finally free of the numbing pain that had haunted her for weeks.Melody sat at the foot of her bed, scrolling through her encrypted phone. When Reina opened her eyes, Melody looked up, smiling gently. "You're healing faster than expected. The swelling’s gone down. You’ll be able to move more comfortably starting today."Reina let out a breath, unsure if it was relief or dread. She reached for the small mirror beside her and hesitated before holding it up. Her fingers trembled.Her reflection stared back. Puffy lids, a healing nose, and taped cheeks. She was still unfamiliar, still someone she didn’t recognize. But underneath the bruises, she could see it—the version of herself she had chosen. The woman who would no longer be hunted, manipulated, or owned."I don't even know who I am anymore," Reina whispered."Y
