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 69: FIRE!

"I'll set an appointment for you exactly tomorrow in the morning. I'll handle everything for you! Good luck!" Karina said enthusiastically.

Zarina nodded, silently praying, 'May the heavens above bless me in taming that cold devil,' as she sipped her coffee.

The sun dipped below the horizon, and the clock signaled it was time to go home.

Zarina organized her belongings and packed them in her bag, preparing for tomorrow's big day. It promised to be an eventful day requiring plenty of rest and patience.

With everything done, she briskly walked toward the exit door. As she walked to the streets to hail a cab, Zarina reached for her phone to organize her to-do list. Setting her tasks in advance meant that when she got home, she could jump into bed and rest.

However, when she opened her phone, thirty missed calls from an unknown number displayed on her screen.
