Claimed By The Ruthless Mafia

Ryder’s pov.

I was filled with terror when I couldn’t locate her. But witnessing her in tears like that shattered me.

“Babe, what happened? Why are you crying? Please, tell me what happened,” I pleaded anxiously, alarmed to see her in such distress.

“Ryder!” she sobbed, jumping into my arms and burying her face in my chest.

I held her tightly, enveloping her in a protective embrace, aiming to provide comfort and reassurance.

As she remained silent, my concern deepened. I furrowed my brow and asked once more, “What’s wrong?”

“I don’t know… I was having a good time with a handsome stranger, and after a couple of drinks, I started feeling strange. My body felt like it was burning, and my head was spinning. I couldn’t see clearly… ahhhh…” She clutched her head, unable to continue speaking. Her body was drenched in sweat, and her eyes struggled to stay open, as if she fought against closing them.

“Shh… I’ve got you. Don’t worry. I’m here now,” I whispered, attempting to console her by gently rubbing her back. In truth, I sought solace as well. At least she was safe, and I had managed to arrive in time.

“Ryder, please, get me out of this place. I feel suffocated here,” she pleaded, her voice barely audible. Her body trembled from crying, and she appeared incredibly fragile and vulnerable. My heart ached for her.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

I felt a surge of anger welling up inside me. If I ever found the person responsible for putting Bella in this condition, I would make them pay. Seeing my innocent and pure Bella caught in such a situation made me want to unleash my fury. I had an urge to set the whole club on fire. But I quickly regained control.

This was not the time to lose my temper. Right now, I needed to take care of my baby girl. I had to be level-headed because she needed me more than ever. I closed my eyes and took deep breaths, trying to calm myself down. When I opened my eyes, I saw Bella leaning on my chest, wiping her tear-stained eyes.

“It’s alright, baby girl. Let’s get out of here,” I said gently, taking her hand in mine. Together, we left the club.

I helped Bella into the passenger seat of my car and took my place behind the wheel. As I started the car, she spoke, her voice filled with discomfort, “Ryder, why do I feel so hot? Ahhh!” She rubbed her neck. “Can you please turn up the air conditioning?”

Without hesitation, I cranked the air conditioning to its maximum setting. I glanced at Bella. Her face was flushed, and her eyes struggled to stay open. She rubbed her neck and arms uncomfortably.

Reality hit me hard as I realized what was happening. She had been drugged.

Shit!

My eyes widened, and I slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a sudden stop. Bella had started to unbutton her blouse, seemingly unaware of her actions, in an attempt to relieve the burning heat consuming her.

Quickly, I reached out and pulled her blouse back into place, confusion evident in my voice as I asked, “What are you doing, Bella? We’re in the middle of the road!”

She was dressed in a crop top and jeans, and the heat seemed to be bothering her.

“It’s… so… hot, Ryder. I can’t stand wearing these clothes,” Bella stuttered, visibly uncomfortable.

I muttered a curse under my breath. “Just bear with it, Bella. We’re almost there, baby girl.”

She started rubbing her hands on her legs while nervously biting her bottom lip. “Um, Ryder… Ahh… it’s hurting inside.”

“We’re nearly there, sweetheart. Just stay in your seat, okay?” I tried to comfort her once again.

“I can’t… I can’t take it anymore. Why do I feel so strange? Ahh!” Bella moaned, tugging at her clothes as if wanting to tear them off.

“Have some water and try to rest, baby girl. We’ll arrive soon,” I handed her a bottle of water and pressed hard on the accelerator.

“No… I can’t sleep. Do something to make this burning sensation go away. Hmm… Ahh, Ryder… Do something,” Bella continued to moan, and I found it difficult to respond.

I cursed again. This was going to be a challenging night. How was I going to handle this visibly aroused and attractive girl who also looked adorable at the same time? Her moans and expressions were making it hard for me to concentrate on the road.

She was so innocent and pure, yet right now, she was making these sounds and giving me those sexy and enticing looks. God help me. How could I resist the growing tension in the car? I wished I could magically transport us home in an instant.

I glanced at her, closed my eyes for a moment, and started driving. Keeping my focus on the road, I prayed that we would reach home quickly, even though it seemed impossible with a seductive Bella sitting next to me. Her actions and sounds made it challenging for me to drive safely.

But I had to do it, for both our sakes. We needed to reach home without any incidents. She was my responsibility, and she meant the world to me. Despite the temptation, I had to control myself as she writhed and moaned beside me, sensually rubbing her hands over her delicate body.
