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 200: I AM COMFORTABLE IF I WON’T CARRY YOUR NAME WITH ME

On second thought, if Draymond announced she was her wife, she would expect to be judged. She knows that people will be intrigued by her, which only means that she needs to be ready to be interrogated. Thus, she surely needs help formulating lies since their relationship is fake. She and Draymond had no foundation in their relationship; everything was done quickly.

" hmmmm… I am more comfortable if I appear as Zarina Velasquez, "

Draymond looked at her and studied her face. ' Is she despised to be my wife? What if boys will look at her lustfully because they think she is single?' It was just his thought, but Draymond already wanted to make Zarina hide in her office; if he could, he would surely do it.

"Okay, as you wish," Draymond said, disappointment evident in his voice.

Zarina studied Draymond's face for a while. She saw how his expression changed into disappointment, and she felt accountable for that.
