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 145: FROM NOW ON YOU’RE MINE

In a panic, Alexa ran through the dimly lit hallway, straining to hear the menacing footsteps behind her. Desperation filled her as she gasped for breath, constantly checking over her shoulder for any sign of the pursuing men. In her anxious state, she collided with someone unexpectedly.

"Help me! Help me! Someone was chasing me! Please mister," she pleaded with the stranger, unable to see his face clearly in the dim light due to his taller stature. Feeling a firm grip on her waist, she sensed safety in the stranger's arms. He swiftly lifted her off the ground, carrying her to safety.

They walked through the dim hallway and entered a dimly lit room. Alexa, still trembling, couldn't control her anxiety. She was biting her lips, her face finding solace on the man's broad chest. Sinister smiles played on the bad guys' lips in her mind, clouding her thoughts.
