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 40: GRANDMA’S HOUSE

A loud car horn echoed into the living room. With his brows knitted, Draymond walked to the window and slightly moved the curtain to peek at the person outside. He saw a familiar car; as he recalled, it was Keiffer's favorite car.

" Is that your friend here to pick you up already?" Grandma asked.

He looked at Grandma and nodded. They went outside the house and walked along the long pathway. The sun was still not shining brightly as it was already five in the morning on their clock. They lent a serene atmosphere to the surroundings in the early hours, with the world gradually waking to dawn.

Keiffer was the only one he told to fetch him because it seemed so suspicious that three sports cars would park outside the house. People might think Zarina has a sugar daddy. He just wanted her to be at peace when he left.
