Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-EIGHT: The Journey Begins
The next morning came quickly. Dr. Ramirez arrived at the villa before sunrise, and by the time the sky turned orange, everything was already set for the trip.Maxton sat propped up against his pillows, watching Raina pack a small bag of her own things she'd hastily bought the night before. His brows were furrowed with worry."Raina, please," he said, his voice still weak but firm. "Stay here and rest. You're pregnant, and this trip is going to be long and rough. I don't want you or the baby getting hurt."Raina didn't even look up from her bag. "I already told you last night, I'm not leaving your side. Not now, not ever again.""Raina….""I said no, Maxton," she cut him off gently but firmly, finally turning to look at him. "You almost died without me knowing. I'm not making that mistake again. Wherever you go, I go too."Maxton sighed, too tired to argue further, though the worry never left his eyes.Just then, her phone buzzed loudly on the nightstand. Raina glanced at the screen a
Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SEVEN: You Will Live
The room was dim, only a small lamp glowing in the corner. Raina's eyes immediately landed on the bed, where a figure lay completely still under a thick duvet.She walked closer, slowly, her heart pounding with every step. There was no movement from the figure at all and it scared her more than anything.The Maxton she knew was always alert and always aware of everything around him, even in his sleep. He used to joke that years of being Don had trained his body to wake up at the smallest sound. But now, he didn't even stir as she approached the bed.Tears blurred her vision before she even saw his face. With trembling hands, she reached out and slowly lifted the edge of the duvet.And there he was….Maxton's eyes were shut tight, his face twisted slightly like he was fighting something even in his sleep. His skin, once warm and full of color, was now pale, and almost gray. His cheeks looked hollow and he had lost so much weight in just a week that it barely looked like him anymore."M
Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SIX: I Already Know Everything
The plane landed in country K at exactly half past six in the evening. Raina grabbed her backpack and rushed through the airport, barely stopping to breathe.Outside, she quickly hailed a cab and slid into the back seat, giving the driver the address Lisa had sent her. Her hands wouldn't stop shaking the entire ride, her fingers gripping the strap of her bag so tightly her knuckles turned white.It has only been a week since she last saw Maxton, but it felt like an eternity. So much had happened. The divorce. The pregnancy… And finding out he is actually dying.The cab driver, a middle-aged man with kind eyes, kept glancing at her through the rearview mirror. "Miss, are you sure this is the right address?" he asked carefully. "This area is pretty restricted and not many people go there unless they're invited.""It's the right address," Raina said firmly, her voice tighter than she intended.The driver hesitated but nodded, focusing back on the road. A while later, he pulled the car to
Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE: Climbing Out The Window
The moment Lisa finished giving her the address, Raina hung up without even saying goodbye. Her hands were shaking so badly she almost dropped the phone.She sat down slowly on the edge of her bed, tears streaming freely down her face now. Her chest felt tight, like an invisible hand was squeezing her heart over and over, refusing to let go.Maxton was sick. Really sick. And he hadn't told her. He hadn't given her the chance to be there for him, to take care of him, to fight alongside him through whatever this was.Anger bubbled up through her grief. She was furious at him, absolutely furious, for always trying to protect her like she was some fragile thing that couldn't handle hard truths. Did he really think so little of her? Did he think she would just fall apart if she knew he was suffering?But underneath the anger was something even heavier. Fear. The thought of him lying somewhere weak and in pain, maybe scared, maybe alone, without her there, made her stomach twist painfully.
Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FOUR: Give Me The Address
Raina spent the whole day in her room, staring at her phone every few minutes. She had sent the message to Lisa hours ago, and the silence was starting to eat at her nerves.She checked the screen again and again. Yet there was no reply to her message.She sighed and set the phone down on the bedside table while rubbing her temples in frustration. Waiting was always the hardest part, especially when her gut kept telling her something was seriously wrong.The door creaked open, and Angelo toddled in, his little arms already reaching up toward her."Mommy!" he called out happily.Raina's face softened instantly, all her worry melting away for a moment. She smiled and scooped him up gently, careful of her bandaged wrist, and hugged him close."Hi, baby," she said, kissing the top of his head. "Did you sleep well?"Angelo nodded against her chest, then suddenly pulled back to look up at her with wide, curious eyes."Mommy, when is Daddy coming…Angelo miss Daddy?"Raina froze and tears thr
Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-THREE: You Are Dead To Me
COUNTRY K…..It took a lot of effort to move Maxton from the hospital to his villa in country K, because a lot of rivals were already snooping around the hospital, trying to find information about his current condition and why he wasn't discharged yet.After successfully moving him to the villa, Carlos tightened the security to make sure no one entered without permission.He had spoken to Dr Ramirez and began making arrangements for the trip to the witch doctor's village.“Just tell them everything …we need to leave soon” Maxton instructed weakly before falling asleep again.Carlos walked out of his room with a heavy heart, but there was no time to sit and process everything as every second mattered now. He pulled out his phone and made a few quick calls, gathering everyone who had traveled with them to country K.Within an hour, they were all assembled in the private meeting room in the villa. Lisa, Bailey, Marcus, Pascal, and seven elite guards stood waiting, their faces tense with

The heavy door to Raina’s bedroom clicked shut, and in that single second, the man who had been gentle with her disappeared. Maxton Retroferd stood in the hallway, but he didn't look like a husband anymore. He looked like a nightmare.His eyes darkened until they were like two pits of black ink. Th
Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don CHAPTER THREE: Walk Or Bury Your Mother
The morning of the wedding arrived quickly. For forty-eight hours, Raina had been a prisoner in her own bedroom, the four walls closing in on her until the air felt thin and toxic. She hadn't slept or eaten the bland meals the guards slid through the door. She felt exhausted, her body aching from

On the southern side of the Capital city, the atmosphere was different. The Retroferd estate, twice the size of the Valente's, was a place of absolute power.The fortress of the family that had spent twenty years sabotaging the Valente bloodline. The feud had been vicious, killing sons and brother

“Thud!”“Thud!”“This!”The rhythmic sound of leather hitting canvas was the only tone Raina Valente craved. The boxing gym was a dump but to her, it was a sanctuary and the only place where the name 'Valente' didn’t restrict or meddle in her life. She leaned into a sharp jab and the heavy bag gro
