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 44: HAUNTED BY ZARINA

A gentle smile crept on Simon's lips as he studied his boss before him, sitting like a king on his throne with a pile of papers. Alas! After almost a month, his desk was empty, and he was left alone in his office, blaming himself. However, he shouldn't be sorry for the things that have already happened; he should focus on the present to be more ready for the future. 

Draymond could sense the eyes that were staring at him. Instinctively, he tilted his head, and Simon's gaze welcomed his eyes. Draymond's brows narrowed while looking at his secretary. He looked like a dog wagging his tail with puppy eyes, asking for food. 

Simon blinked his eyes rapidly, 'Oh heavens! Why does the CEO look at me with his murderous stare? Did I do something wrong?' he thought, his skin starting to form cold sweat. 'Should I ask the boss what he wants? Or should I shove myself out? Which is which?'
