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 39: THE MOUSE AND THE CAT

Dark swiftly hopped into the car, dressed all in black like a shadow blending into the night. He buckled up as Keiffer started the engine, and they glided away into the dimly lit cityscape. A quiet laugh escaped Dark's lips as he realized the irony – he had been tailing this guy, and now, the heavens had favored him, he was sitting right next to him.

The car's inside was only lit by the soft glow of the dashboard, creating a mysterious vibe. Keiffer, the no-nonsense driver, gave Dark a nod before focusing on the road. The engine's growl filled the car, and Dark clicked his seat belt into place and looked at the window.

The city lights blurred past the windows, and Dark couldn't help but chuckle inwardly at the situation's absurdity. He had been playing this cat-and-mouse game, always a step behind, and now he was sharing a car with his target. The frustration that had gripped him started to fade, replaced by excitement.
