SOLD TO THE MAFIA QUEEN

I gulped and fixed my gaze on the road, turning the car around in the direction that led to Ashley’s mansion. Why am I getting scared? What’s the worst that could happen?

Jake made painful noises with his mouth. I stared at him with sideways eyes and noticed he was wiping blood from his body with his shirt.

“…You didn’t have to endure a lot of pain to get what you wanted,” I said bluntly.

“Who are you to lecture me? You will have to face the queen’s wrath, and trust me, it is deadly.” He said in a low tone, making my pores rise. I accidentally closed my eyes and opened them again while driving down the road.

I drove the car into Ashley’s mansion and was about to drive to the garage when Jake asked me to stop the car.

“Wait, let me-” he cut in.

“Stop the car, I want to get off here.” He said while wrapping his shirt around his bloodied head. He turned back and leaned against the chair, taking the bag and briefcase from the back seat. I stepped on the brake and waited for him to finish what he was doing. He held them in his arms and shook his head at me before getting out of the car.

My heart was thumping hard in my chest. I can’t believe I am scared of that mafia queen.

I watched Jake disappear into the mansion in the side mirror and started the car once again, driving it into the garage and parking it amongst the other cars. I stepped out of the car, slamming it shut when I saw a gunman approaching me.

“The queen is calling you,” he stated flatly.

“I know,” I said rudely and started walking to the entrance of the mansion, ready for the worst. She is going to torture me sexually, that’s what she knows how to do best.

I dashed into the mansion, passing the gunmen at the doorway, and spotted Ashley standing close to the couch with a leather whip in her hand. She flung the whip when she saw me. She had a dangerous look in her eyes.

“Why didn’t you help Jake?” Her voice was sharp, and she sounded like a completely different person.

“Um, I… I didn’t know about the mission, you didn’t tell me anything.” I defended myself by trying to keep a straight face, but I couldn’t because of her intense gaze.

“Come here.” She said, calling me with her fingers. The last time she did that, she was calling me to have sex with her, but now it was something else. I took a few strides toward her. She huffed and spoke.

“Didn’t Jake tell you to help him? Or to get the money back because Ms Savage Huns refuse to give the remaining drug?” She asked with a serious face. Jake did ask me to help him, but I couldn’t risk my life for someone like her.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Cat got your tongue?” she inquired, lashing my right arm. I clutched my arm in pain, glaring at her.

“He did,” I muttered.

“Then why didn’t you help him?” She snapped.

“I didn’t understand the whole thing. If you told me what needed to be done, Jake wouldn’t have had to handle everything himself.” I suggested.

“Are you telling me what to do?” She asked and landed another strike on my neck, making me growl in pain. I took a step back, giving her a death stare. I wanted to take that stupid whip from her and whip her to death.

She moved closer to me and lifted the whip to hit me again, this time with her eyes lingering on my waist. She swung the whip toward me, and I held it in my hand.

“Let go of it,” she ordered.

“I won’t. You said the mission was mine, but you didn’t give me the full details,” I said. Her mouth flared, she frowned and started tugging at the whip.

“I said let go of it!” She snapped, raising her voice.

“I can’t do that,” I responded and tried to pull the whip out of her grip when someone hit me with something at the back of my head. I let go of the whip and clutched my head in pain, staring at my hand to see bloodstains. I staggered, trying to keep my balance when a lash landed on my butt. My head started spinning, and I landed on the floor. I tried to keep my eyes open and saw Ashley staring at my face.

“He thinks he is stubborn, I am going to coax him.” She said and slapped me on the face, making me pass out.

“This punishment is too extreme for him. Queen, don’t do this.” I heard Chris’s voice. “Stay out of this, Chris; don’t make me fire you.” Ashley’s voice came, and then I received a lash on the bare skin of my chest. I couldn’t help but scream.

I opened my eyes to see Ashley and Chris in front of me. The room wasn’t that bright, but I could see that Chris was dragging the whip with her. I grunted and tried to move, but my legs were stuck. I realized my hands and legs were chained, my hands were chained to the ceiling, and my legs were chained to the ground. My whole body was hurting.

“Let go!” Ashley screamed and leapt forward, she was about to whip me when our eyes met. She smirked. “Good thing you are awake to feel the pain.” She said and began whipping every inch of my body mercilessly, paying special attention to my ribs as she dug different holes in my body.

“Ahhh!” I screamed in horror, unable to move in the chains, as she continued injuring me with the whip, blood rushing out of my body. The pain in my body was too much, I wanted to die.

“Ashley, stop this; his sister is the one who betrayed you, not him.” Chris protested.
