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 103: EVEN IN MY SECOND LIFE, I WILL PROTECT YOU

Under the silver moon, amidst the grandeur of the Gustavo mansion, Kairo, the leader of the Russian mafia, stood by the balcony, bathed in the glow of the night sky.

In his hand, he held a glass of the exquisite Dalmore 62, a rare liquor, hoping it would soothe the turmoil raging within him.

For twenty long years, sleep had eluded him, and genuine happiness remained a distant dream. Anger, self-blame, and guilt had become constant companions, consuming him day by day.

The sorrow of yesterday haunted him relentlessly, like an endless nightmare, and only alcohol seemed to offer solace to his shattered soul.

A man who lost his wife is a widower, and a child who lost his parents is an orphan, yet there exists no specific term to describe a parent who has lost their son or daughter.

Despite possessing immense wealth, power, and influence, Kairo felt empty and despondent.
