Phoenix: The Mobster's Formidable Wife Novels & Stories

Pinned down, I could only raise my head to lock eyes with Krystal as blood trailed along my lips. “Krystal, you promised to love and protect me for so long as we shall live. Is this what your word is worth?” Keeping her face deadpan, Krystal said callously, “You got it coming for attacking your father-in-law and talking smack about your wife.” With Krystal speaking up, the Markham extended family echoed her sentiment. “It’s about time. He needs to be kept on a tight leash, so he knows his place. Who does he think he is?”

"Aurelia! I didn't kill her! I just... I just wanted her to pay the price! You have to believe me!" His voice faded with distance until it disappeared beyond the chapel doors. I knew that might be the last time I ever saw him. The guests whispered among themselves, but the noise quickly died down. On Moretti's territory, no one dared to speak out of turn. "Let's continue the wedding." Vincenzo held my hand and nodded calmly at the priest. His grip was warm and steady, and because of him, I slowly found my peace again. "Aurelia Astor, do you take Vincenzo Moretti to be your husband?" The priest began again, his voice more solemn than before.

Hunter glanced past Ryder's shoulder and gave the smallest possible nod. Phoenix appeared at the edge of the column's shadow without announcing herself, because Phoenix never announced herself. She moved the way water moved, finding the available space and occupying it without apparent effort. Her compact frame and quick, assessing eyes had kept her alive in the Cage for three years, longer than anyone expected a female fighter to last, and she had done it by being considerably more than the sum of what people assumed when they looked at her. She had been in the facility when they arrived. Ryder had clocked her. He suspected she had clocked him clocking her and had been waiting to see whethe

"I thought maybe he wanted to apologize. To make things right with his sister. So I told him. I gave him the dates you'd be gone and the route you'd take." "You sold us out for money?" Mara's on her feet, fury blazing in her eyes. "No!" Phoenix shakes his head frantically. "I didn't take the money. I swear. And the next day, they sent me this." He pulls out his phone with trembling hands, showing the screen to the crowd. A photo of a young woman tied to a chair, terror stark on her face.

Maya's phone buzzed. A message from an unknown number. She opened it. A video. It showed a woman sitting in a dark room. Catherine Wei. She was speaking directly to the camera. "Hello, Maya," she said. "I am Catherine Wei. I lead the Phoenix. James Chen was useful, but he was always disposable. You have him now. You have his confession. Congratulations." She smiled. "But understand something. The Phoenix is not organized crime. It is not a criminal enterprise. It is evolution. It is the natural order. The strong survive. The weak do not. We simply help that process along."

Asar said Azza. "Don't you miss your husband?" Phoenix exclaimed and a big smile looked at Michael. "I'm going to fight again! I thought I was a woman again!" Promise of Azza. They were married by Ms. Capa and had two stubborn children. You wouldn’t have thought that the two had become Dad, while Lucy seemed to be aging backwards. "Are you still scared of him? You're psychotic." Lucifer said and started smoking.

Phoenix scoffed as well. Manpower was a great resource of the Quint family in Ridgesouth. Even with Madam Dark and Shadow dead, Phoenix could easily replace them with more men. Knowing Kaze was physically strong, defeating even Madam Dark, she brought the gunmen from the family to deal with him. Darcy and her family were horrified. Phoenix finally felt a sense of ease. She screamed loudly, “Hector, on your knees! You and your family must kneel before me! “And this little bastard! If you don’t want to die, you better get on your knees as well!”

" Phoenix nodded firmly. " Are you willing to even give yourself up for this money? " Monica questioned once again. " I don't understand, aunt " Phoenix frowned her brows in confusion. " Jackson Wong, a very rich business tycoon. He is looking for a beautiful young lady as a wife who can bear him an heir " Monica explained, showing Phoenix the picture of the man on her phone. Phoenix's eyes widened in horror on seeing the old man Monica was talking about. She sprang up immediately. " Aunt! Are you on about this again? How many times will I tell you? I'm not interested in marrying anyone! " She snapped in anger. Monica only took her cigarette and resumed smoking.

Not a single person should survive. Amber and Harris went another way, Aspan took the charge of the north region and Phoebe was with Falcone. Falcone was fuming in rage that these insects entered his mansion and took his wife under his wings. It would be like mockery to his powers he held in the Mafia world. How dare they? That Bitch would be punished for such foolish practice to shake hands with his Foes. You made a grave mistake Bitch….now you will see the real Devil in me.

The guards push open the doors, and we step into the chilling darkness of the prison. Phoenix's eyes widen as I enter, his cocky demeanor faltering for a brief moment. I can see fear flickering in his gaze, and a wicked smile tugs at the corners of my lips. It's satisfying to witness the man who threatened my happiness now cower in the face of his consequences. "Adrian, my dear king," Phoenix sneers, his voice dripping with false confidence. "Still trying to protect what's rightfully mine, I see." I clench my fists, fighting the urge to lunge at him. "Your delusion knows no bounds, Phoenix," I growl, my voice resonating with authority. "You will never have my wife. She chose me, and she will
