Chapter 162 - chapter 157The Bloody Blizzard

In the bone-chilling cold of Alaska, Alia reached the peak of a desperate madness. The rage toward Victor, the self-loathing, and the filthy games of the mafia world—she wanted freedom from it all.

Facing Nature: A short distance from the cabin lay a massive frozen lake. Before her was the ice-cold water; behind her, a dense forest of pine trees. Alia stood there, her 6'2" frame turning white under the falling snow.

Stripping Everything Away: She knew Victor was coming for her. Driven by a raw, unyielding pride, she reached her limit. One by one, she discarded her expensive fur coat and all her garments, leaving them on the snow. No shame, only the desire to escape a burning internal pain. She returned to a primal state, leaving every trace of her persona behind on the ice.

The Lethal Plunge: She stood where the lake ice was thin. The freezing wind lashed against her skin like a whip. Without a second thought, she plunged into the dark, frozen depths of the water.

Sinking into Darkness: As she hit the water, her blood felt like it turned to ice instantly. But Alia didn't thrash to save herself. She closed her eyes and let go. Bubbles rose to the surface and then vanished, leaving the water still. The 6'2" fierce God-Mother was now sinking into the silent, bottomless abyss.As Alia sank deeper into the freezing, dark abyss, a strange sound reached her ears. It wasn't the silence of death, but a mystical melody. She heard the faint, haunting song of a Siren.

Hallucination or Reality: The crushing pressure of the ice-cold water was nearly bursting her lungs, yet the song brought a strange serenity. It felt as though a mysterious female voice was whispering a melody right into her ear. The tune was so profound it seemed as if the water itself was speaking.

The Call of the Deep: Alia opened her eyes. Despite the darkness beneath the ice, a mystical blue glow began to surround her. With every note of the song, her 6'2" frame drifted even deeper. She forgot she was a Mafia God-Mother; she forgot her bitter struggle with Victor.

Bottomless Mystery: The Siren's song reminded her of her children, yet simultaneously beckoned her toward a new world. The lyrics were unintelligible, but the message was clear—"Do not return; peace is here."When Victor reached the lake's edge, his heart sank. Alia's expensive white fur coat and clothes lay abandoned on the ice, but she was nowhere to be seen.

Victor's Agony: Victor let out a primal scream, "Alia! Come back!" His 6'5" massive frame was trembling. Looking at the broken ice, he realized he might be too late. Curiously, he too began to hear that mystical melody, drawn toward the water by an unseen force.

Alia's Vision Underwater: Deep beneath the surface, Alia saw something impossible. In front of her, it wasn't a sea monster or a mermaid, but a boy who looked exactly like Victor. He had the same sharp features, but instead of a killer's intent, his eyes held a celestial charm.

The Siren-Victor's Song: This boy was the one singing the Siren's song. He reached out his hand toward Alia, his lips moving in sync with the melody. Alia was mesmerized. She wondered—was Victor her salvation, or was this a death trap in his likeness, singing to lure her into the eternal dark?

Alia's Surrender: Alia reached her hand out toward this mystical Victor. Her 6'2" frame was now still underwater. She stopped thinking about the surface. The song had erased all thought. She only saw the boy—so familiar, yet so strange.Beneath the mystical blue glow of the water, as Alia reached out to that young Victor, her lungs were gasping for the last bit of oxygen. Her lips moved, and the name escaped as a trail of bubbles— "Victor..."

Alia's Plea: Alia thought this mystical form was her Victor, come to save her. Her 6'2" frame drifted weakly toward the boy. To her, there was no difference between tears and the freezing lake water. She wondered if the 6'5" monster from last night had transformed into a peaceful angel before her.

Victor's Demonic Laughter: Just as Alia was about to touch the boy's hand, his face began to distort. Those peaceful eyes suddenly turned into the familiar predatory eyes of Victor. He didn't say a word; he simply began to laugh.

The Echo of Laughter Underwater: It wasn't a human laugh. The sound of that laughter hammered against Alia's brain through the water. Victor (or the entity in his likeness) looked at her and laughed with a sinister joy, as if taking a demonic pleasure in watching her sink.

The Veil of Illusion Rips: As Alia's consciousness began to fade, she realized this was no angel it was a nightmare born of her own subconscious. That laughter was mocking her, telling her that this death wasn't a hero's end, but a total defeat.The plot twist is breathtaking! A true God-Father never reveals his hand so easily. Everything happening outside the cabin was a masterfully orchestrated play by Victor.

The Imposter's Mission: The 6'5" figure chasing Alia through the snowstorm and screaming at the lake's edge wasn't Victor. It was his most trusted bodyguard, wearing a high-tech silicon mask that replicated Victor's face perfectly. The real Victor had commanded him: "Face her as me, lure her in, and keep her occupied in this death game."

The Real Victor's Ambush: While the decoy was busy on the surface, the real Victor was already lurking beneath the freezing water. He anticipated Alia's move. As the fake Victor performed his drama on the shore, the real one watched her from the depths.

Confrontation Under the Ice: The "mystical Victor" Alia saw laughing underwater wasn't a hallucination—it was the real Victor. He was there, holding his breath with superhuman endurance. When Alia whispered his name, he laughed because his plan had worked flawlessly.

The Checkmate: On the surface, the masked bodyguard distracted the world; beneath the ice, the real Victor sat like a predator, waiting to claim her soul. Alia had no idea that in fleeing one Victor, she had dived straight into the clutches of the real one.In the silent, freezing depths, as Alia's consciousness surged back, she realized the man before her wasn't a ghost—it was the real Victor. The moment she understood that the man on the shore was a masked decoy and the real Victor had been playing a deadly game underwater, her blood boiled with rage.

Alia's Fury: Underwater, Alia tried to lash out at Victor with her 6'2" frame. Her eyes burned with fury. She wanted to scream, "Victor, you aren't human, you're a devil!" but the words only escaped as bubbles. She tried to claw at his chest, but her strength was fading under the bite of the icy water.

Victor's Ruthless Response: Victor took a twisted pleasure in her defiance. Seeing her struggle, he yanked her closer with sudden force. He knew her lungs were empty, gasping for the last thread of life.

The Frozen Kiss: Just as Alia tried to push him away, Victor gave her no chance and pressed his lips firmly against hers. In that deep, underwater kiss, Victor didn't just offer passion; he shared the very oxygen from his lungs.

The Devil's Gift: Alia's body instantly went limp. A strange warmth flooded her veins. The man she had just labeled a 'devil' was now holding her like a savior. Under that terrifying yet life-giving kiss, the walls of Alia's rage and hatred began to crumble like a house of cards.As Victor broke the surface, dragging Alia out of the freezing water, her lungs gasped desperately for air. He pulled her onto the shore, where she collapsed, shivering on the ice. But even in her weakened state, the God-Mother within her was far from defeated.

The Slap: When Victor reached out to help her, Alia spun around with lightning speed and landed a thunderous slap across his face. The sound echoed through the desolate, snow-covered landscape. Victor's head snapped to the side, his triumphant smirk vanishing instantly.

Alia's Hatred: Shaking with cold but her voice filled with thunder, she screamed, "What did you think? That by giving me oxygen, you've earned a claim over me? You are a low-life devil, Victor! Dressing up bodyguards in masks—is this your 'Mafia Power'? I loathe you!"

The Final Exit: Alia didn't stay a second longer. In her freezing, soaked state, she sprinted toward her car. Behind her, the decoy stood paralyzed, while the real Victor sat motionless, his hand over his stinging cheek. Alia ignited the engine and tore away, leaving a spray of snow and the sound of screeching tires behind.The red mark on Victor's cheek froze colder than the ice itself. That slap wasn't just a blow; it was a direct strike to his ego. As Alia's car tore through the snowstorm, Victor stood by the lake, transforming into something monstrous.

Victor's Fury: Victor pushed his wet hair back. His eyes weren't human anymore—they burned with a destructive fire. He hissed under his breath, "Today, I'll show her the cost of laying a hand on the Devil! She thinks she can escape? Before she leaves my territory, I'll drag her back to my feet!"

Command to the Guard: Victor turned to the bodyguard wearing the mask. His voice was as cold as death. He roared, "Seal every checkpoint now! Get the snowmobiles and helicopters up. If she thinks she's a big God-Mother, then I am her grim reaper tonight. Bring her to me alive—I want to crush that pride with my own hands!"

A New Obsession: Behind Victor's rage was a new kind of madness. He wasn't just desperate to possess her anymore; he was desperate to break her. He jumped into a Black SUV himself, ignoring the blizzard, and began the hunt.

The Chase Begins: On the dark mountain roads, Alia's car sped away with Victor's predatory convoy right behind. Only one thought echoed in Victor's mind—"Alia, you won't get far. Tonight is the last night of your empire, and the beginning of mine."
