Lured Into The Mafia's Den

Draymond Martinez, a mysterious New York tycoon, rarely appears in public due to his obsessive-compulsive disorder. Draymond is the CEO of Martinez Corporation and the legendary mafia don of the ‘Jade Dragon Triad.’ Living in seclusion, he often grapples with inner turmoil when his OCD takes control. His mother’s tragic and untimely passing drove him to find justice for her. Suddenly, a deadly ambush pushed him to the edge of death. Just when all hope seemed lost, fate intervened, and Zarina Celesti Vasquez, a renowned fashion designer, came as his savior. *** “Marry me, Zarina,” he begged, desperation in his eyes. He instantly regretted his boldness, muttering, “I think I’m becoming straightforward.” Zarina blinked rapidly, her eyes widening, and she stood with her hands on her hips. “No way. I don’t want to marry a man who sees marriage as just another business venture.” She turned her back to him and flipped her long black hair, making her rejection crystal clear. Draymond cleared his throat, attempting to persuade her. “I need a wife,” he stated seriously. Zarina burst into laughter, finding the situation absurd. “Mr. Martinez, I think you need a psychologist to check your brain because it seems you’re struggling to understand my simple condition.” Feeling insulted, Draymond clenched his teeth. “I’ll pay you a substantial amount for this business marriage, and I’ll be a great husband who will warm your bed every night!”

CHAPTER 116: THAT'S MY GIRL

As Zarina took a few steps, she suddenly felt strong, powerful arms wrap around her, pulling her back.

His arms encircled her waist gently, and he whispered into her ear, "Don't be so hardheaded, miss. We're in public, and Father has eyes and ears everywhere. I'm afraid he'll notice if we act like strangers." His voice was cold and raspy.

Draymond's words sent shivers down Zarina's spine, not because she felt aggravated, but because the scent of his breath was intoxicating.

Although, Draymond may have been known as cold-hearted, but his breath was the opposite of his. It was warm and gentle like a sweet embrace. When his warm breath touches her earlobe it makes her cells hyper that makes her feel hot and flustered.

Draymond smiled inwardly when Zarina didn't push his hands away. Alas,he had tamed the Dragon. He took the opportunity to pull her closer to him and hold her slender shoulder blades gently.
