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 64: A GENIUS MAN ALWAYS UNDERSTANDS A GENIUS

Zarina is a meticulous woman; in every project she creates, she never allows a single thread to overrun because, in the principles of fashion, it signifies a defect that needs to be discarded.

"Phew! Finally," she exclaimed, wiping a bead of sweat forming on her brow. Then, she dialed Simon's number. After a few rings, Simon answered the call formally.

"Hello, this is Martinez Corporation; how may I help you?" Simon's voice resonated in Zarina's ears.

"Hello, Simon. This is Zarina. I want to ask if the CEO is available for a fit check of his suit?"

"Oh, hello, madam. Sure, madam. For a while, I will connect the call to sir."

"Uhm, wait, Simon. Can I drop the call for a while? I need to pee, hehe," Zarina said with an awkward laugh.

'Damn! Why, all of a sudden, did my excretory system betray me at this critical moment,' Zarina screamed in her mind.

"Okay, madam. I'll call you after five minutes," Simon replied, then he hung up the call.
