Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband by Paga Slayer

Chapter 661 Chapter 661 The Final Countdown "No!" I shook my head in disbelief, my mind rejecting everything I had just heard. "No! Tellyou're lying," I said, trying to laugh it off as a cruel joke.

But her silence, paired with the helpless gloom in her eyes, toldotherwise. She wasn't lying. She had planned the day of my demise even before bringinginto this world.

"How could you do this to me, Mother?" I mumbled, my voice trembling as my lips quivered. A silent sob escaped me. I didn't even know if I should call her 'Mother' anymore-not after hearing how cruelly she had condemned her own child.

"I am sorry, my child," she said in a pleading voice. "I had no other choice but to sacrifice you to save the world.' A tear escaped my eye as flashes of my life flickered beforelike a relentless movie reel. Memories played on repeat, and I wanted so badly to rewind to the part before I met Zander-before I fell in love. Because now, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't imagine leaving him to bear the unbearable pain of my absence.

And... what about my son, Austin? My unborn baby? It hadn't even been given a chance to cinto the world, yet it was fated to end withall because my mother was selfish enough to sacrifice her own blood.

But I wasn't her.

"Mother... my baby," I sobbed, cradling my stomach protectively. "I can sacrifice my life for the world, but I cannot take my baby with me. I won't kill my child." "I know, Selena, and I'm not cruel enough to kill my own daughter," she said, her words freezingin place. Two statements, completely contradictory, and yet both cfrom the swoman.

"I know you think I'm heartless," she continued, her voice softer now as her eyes darted away, unable to meet mine. "I thought I was strong enough to go through with the process. That's why I left you with your father and kept my distance. No contact, no emotional attachment... I thought it would make things easier -for both of us. She paused, her confession hanging heavily in the air. For the first time, I saw her vulnerability. I didn't blher for what she did-if she'd chosenfor sacrifice, distancing herself might have been the only way she could bear the heartbreak. After all, the world still needed the High Priestess.

"But after seeing you," she continued, her voice trembling slightly, "watching you with your family, seeing how happy you were... I becselfish." Her gaze finally found mine, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears. "I couldn't be strong enough to do it. So, I cup with a plan.

My breath caught in my throat as her words sank in. "What plan?" I demanded, my heart pounding.

She exhaled deeply, as if bracing herself. "I made a deal with the God of Destruction. He agreed to save our realm and stop the chaos, but only if you agreed to marry him." Her hands reached for mine, trembling as her gaze locked with mine, her eyes filled with desperation and guilt. "I did it for you," she said softly, her voice pleading. "I couldn't bear the thought of you going through the sacrifice. This way, the world could still be saved, and you could live." Suddenly, everything clicked. That's why she was so insistent onmarrying the God of Destruction. It all made sense now-why she'd forcedto forget my family and mate, why she'd erased them from my life. She hadn't done it out of cruelty, she'd done it to ensure nothing and no one could stand in the way of the wedding.

"I can't marry God Kaelvor," I said firmly, my tone leaving no room for negotiation. "Zander remembers everything now, and I'm pregnant with his child. I can't betray him by marrying another man." "No, Selena, don't be foolish!" she snapped, her voice sharp with desperation. "Only the God of Destruction can help us. If you marry him, your powers combined with his could save the universe." I could see her desperation. She was overwhelmed by the situation, clinging to this plan as her last hope.

I couldn't decide whether to feel angry at her for the choices she had made or pity her for the guilt that now consumed her.

"Mother, I don't think this is a good idea," I said, shaking my head in dismissal.

Her hopeful eyes dulled, and sadness settled over her features. "Selena, don't be stubborn now," she pleaded, her tone softer yet urgent. "I know it's possible if we try."

"There has to be another way, Mother," I countered, my mind racing. "Another way to save the world...and men couldn't bring myself to accept this path, not when my baby's life was tied to mine. She shook her head gravely. "There

is no other way, Selena. The day is coming, and when it does, I won't be able to save you, no matter how much I want to. Please my daughter, agree to marry God Kaelvor. He is the God of Destruction, Selena-he holds the power to control the end. If you bechis wife, he could save you. Together, you could rewrite the process and save everything." Her determination seemed unshakable. Something deep insidewhispered that this plan was futile, that no matter what we tried, we couldn't stop what had been decided before I was even born.

I exhaled a shaky breath, my mind racing. If this process was predestined, could marrying a god truly change it? Or would it only make matters worse? The uncertainty gnawed at me, and I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to this than my mother was telling me. Twas slipping away, and I knew I had to find a way to fix everything before it was too late.
