SOLD TO THE MAFIA QUEEN

“What I’m trying to say is that you shouldn’t think you’re special because you aren’t. We have also been in this kind of situation before, when she will be giving us attention or having sex with us, but that’s all there is. She will never get emotionally attached to you. She is a sex addict. She will never fall in love with you.” Jake said. Xander frowned.

“Chill, man, I don’t like her or have feelings for her, and I don’t want to be emotionally attached to her; I’m here against my will, and I have no choice but to do whatever she wants me to do, even if it means having sex with her every day.” Xander replied.

“I don’t know why she is doing all this, but I will try my best to help you.” Jake gave Xander his word. Xander simply smiled and nodded his head. Ashley came to a halt outside her front door, noticing a swarm of gunmen on every corner of her mansion. They all had expressionless faces and were wearing black suits.

“Are you sure this is my mansion?” she asked Chris.

“Yes, I called all your old goons to guide you… I don’t want anyone to hurt you again after all that happened to your father.” Chris said in a coaxing tone. Ashley’s eyes lit up as she stopped staring at Chris after getting hypnotized by him for a second.

“Oh Chris, you are the best.” She muttered and attempted to hit him playfully on the right arm when she realized his hand was bandaged.

“L-let’s go in.” She said, walking past the gunmen at the entrance, who bowed their heads slightly as they saw her. Jake and Xander stared at each other with wide eyes.

“What just happened?” Jake asked.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“I have no idea,” Xander answered.

Ashley kicked the door to the room she had locked Noah in and entered. Noah was tied to a wooden chair in the middle of the room. He started twisting in the chair, his mouth duct-taped, as he spotted Ashley. Chris and the others entered the room after her.

“Calm down, Noah; I am not going to hurt you; I just want to bury the ash,” Ashley said with an evil grin. She extended her hand to Chris. Noah tried to speak, but he couldn’t.

“The papers.” She said. Chris forced his left hand into his pocket and took out the divorce papers, placing them in Ashley’s hand.

“Pen.” She declared. Jake placed a pen in her hand.

“What I want you to do is easy and simple: divorce me, and I promise to bring your father back unharmed.” She stated, and as she leaned closer to him, she pulled the tape off his lips with great force.

“Ouch!” Noah screamed, glaring at her. “You want to bury the ash by killing my father, huh?” He inquired. Ashley chuckled.

“No, I don’t want to kill your father, I promise. I just want you to sign these divorce papers, and you will get to see your father again, or he will be killed.” She threatened, swiping her hand under her neck.

“You know I don’t make empty threats, so it’s your time to decide if you are going to sign it, or if I should kill your father…it’s up to you.” Ashley said.

Noah’s eyes started twitching with rage; the anger inside of him was enough to start a fire. He gritted his teeth, staring at the divorce papers, and closed his eyes. Ashley brought out her phone, pretending to call someone.

“The old man’s son doesn’t care about him; I want you to hang him.” She spoke into the phone. Noah’s eyes popped open.

“No! Don’t kill him; I’ll sign it! I will sign it!” He shouted. Ashley felt good about breaking his ego.

“Hello, don’t hang him anymore; wait for my call.” She said this while pretending to hang up the phone.

“How am I going to sign the papers in this condition?” Noah questioned. Ashley snapped her fingers. Jake and Xander hovered around Noah, untying his hands, and then Xander went down on the floor, setting his back as a table for Noah to write on. Ashley placed the paper on Xander’s back and handed the pen to Noah.

“Sign it or your father gets it!” She snarled.

Noah took a deep breath and took the pen from her, glancing at the paper. Ashley opened the first page for him.

“Sign here,” she said.

“But we have only been married for a day; don’t you think it’s unfair to divorce now? We haven’t even consummated our marriage and if we were in the court, they…” Ashley cut in.

“Stop talking and sign the damn papers.” She declared. Noah started signing the papers without looking up. Ashley was still opening the papers for him when a droplet of water landed on the last page of the paper as Noah was about to sign. She stared at him and noticed he was crying.

“Are you crying?” she asked softly.

“The idiot is crying. Is he really such a lover boy?” Jake commented, and they all burst into laughter except for Ashley, who didn’t give a damn. Noah signed on the last spot, and Ashley quickly took away the papers before he would soak them with his tears. Xander got up from the floor and cleaned his knees.

“Why are you crying, man?” Xander asked him. Noah’s lips quivered for a moment. “It’s because I love her, okay?!?” he blurted out.

“Love? How can you love me? You barely even know me!” Ashley asked, staring at him in utter shock.

“I don’t know how it happened, but I fell in love with you at first sight, I did all this because I didn’t want you to be with someone else. I really love…” Jake gave Noah a resounding slap across the face to knock some sense into him.

“You started a stupid game that resulted in the death of her father all because you are in love with her? Sheesh, man, you are stupid; if you like a girl, why don’t you just tell her?” Jake said pissed.

“I can’t; she is not like any other girl, and she is the daughter of my father’s enemy. I can’t just simply tell her I like her; I knew she would never accept me.” Noah said he was still crying like a baby. Ashley clenched her fists as she witnessed an adult man cry because of her.

“Your love for me has turned into an obsession. I hate you with my whole being, and I can’t see myself being with you; now that I am no longer your wife, I just want to end you and your father’s lives.” Ashley grumbled as she drew a gun from her pocket, loaded it, and pointed it at Noah’s face. Everyone stared at her with shocked eyes, including Noah.
