Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband by Paga Slayer

Chapter 589 Last Breath *Selena*

As I headed to Harper's house, a strange feeling washed over me. Some instinct was holding me back, making each step forward an effort. It was as if someone was calling out to me, needing me urgently. I stopped in my tracks and looked behind me. Everything seemed

"You're right," I replied through our mindlink. "I feel it too. Why is it cursed? We need to uncover the mystery behind it."

"Harper, I need to go back to the cursed land," I told her.

"Harper, you don't need to come. I will go and see if the rumors about the curse are true or not," I assured her.

"Please, my queen, I cannot let you put yourself in danger. It is my duty to keep you safe," she insisted, her voice laced with desperation.
