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 43: WORD OF GRATITUDE

Draymond woke up abruptly. He sat on his bed and reached for the glass of water on his bedside table. It was another typical morning, haunted by a nightmare. He drank the water quickly to soothe his dry throat.

Draymond finished the water and carefully put the glass back on the bedside table, just as before he picked it up. He rolled out of bed, slipped on his slippers, and gently rubbed them on the plush white carpet. After tidying up his bed, he headed to the bathroom to take a bath.

Draymond changed out of his sleepwear and set the water temperature to ninety-eight degrees Fahrenheit. Turning the knob, he let the warm water embrace his body. About an hour later, he dampened his hair and went to his closet for his morning routine. Draymond, dressed in a finely tailored suit, added an expensive necktie, wore a high-end watch, and laced up his shoes. After a quick check in the mirror, he completed his grooming with three spritzes of his men's perfume.
