SOLD TO THE MAFIA QUEEN

Xander was overwhelmed with joy at the thought that he had caught the criminals. He spoke into his walkie-talkie.

“The criminals have been caught. I hope I have been automatically promoted now. I can’t wait to start learning the duties of a detective.” He said to his boss, who laughed at the other end and replied. “You still have a long way to go, Mr. Carter, but you’ve done well; come out and let’s head to the office.” He replied.

“Roger that,” Xander replied, before making his way out of the room. The criminals were in the car with Xander and his boss, while the girls were being carried in a van behind them as they drove down the highway.

“Hello Detective Kim, I hope you are doing better now, Mr. Carter, have managed to bring the criminals to justice and even went out of his way to get them caught.” Mr. Parker praised Xander, who was smiling to himself as his boss was singing his praises.

Xander made a U-turn, driving into the lane that led to the station. He stole a glance at the criminals who were being guided by other police in the back seat of the car.

“I am throwing a party tonight to celebrate, and you better be there.” Mr. Parker said and cut the call. He opened a wet wiper and started using it to gently wipe the makeup off Xander’s face as he drove.

“You don’t need to come to the station. Go home. You can take the day off. From tomorrow, we will start talking about how to send you to the detective department for training. You will be Detective Kim’s assistant for a while until you are able to stand on your own.” Mr. Parker said his words were like music to Xander’s ear because he was extremely happy that he had achieved one of his goals in life. The thought of Melody not being there to celebrate his success with him saddened him. He heaved a sigh as Mr. Parker told him to get off the car and go home. He stopped the car halfway to the station and got out of it.

“I had your car sent to your apartment,” Mr. Parker said, taking the wheels as he smiled at Xander, who returned the smile.

“Take a cab and go home.” He said.

“Thank you, boss!” Xander exclaimed, walking out of the hallway as the car and van zoomed off.

“Yes!” He exclaimed in a happy tone and stood at the side of the road, looking around for a taxi.

“Where were you at midnight?” Detective Brad questioned Ashley, who had an indifferent expression on her face as she looked at him. “I went to see my father.” She replied.

“What proof do you have?” he asked.

“I went there with my bodyguard Jake, and my father’s servants can testify.” She assured.

“I will contact his servants tomorrow. Thanks for your time, Ms. Gates.” The detective said as they both rose from their seats; he stretched his hand forward to shake her. “I don’t do handshakes; Jake will show you out.” Ashley said she was walking out of the room with her heels making a loud noise against the ground.

“I want you to take me to his house.” Ashley said to Dave, who was waiting outside the office for her.

“My queen, don’t you think it’s too early to claim her brother’s life?” he inquired.

“I don’t think it’s too early; his sister didn’t think twice before stealing from me; she doesn’t even know what I am capable of.” She said and snorted. “But her brother will know. I can’t believe he is the same guy I had a one-night stand with. How I wish it was someone else. I don’t like seeing my one-night stands again.” She lamented, rubbing her forehead, as he started leading her down the corridor.

Xander was playing loud music in his apartment, dancing to the loud music, moving his hips as he was ironing the clothes, he was planning to wear to the party his boss was throwing to celebrate him. He was shaking his head as he danced to the rhythm of the music.

Ashley kicked his door open with her heels in a dramatic way as if she knew his door was open. But Xander didn’t notice it because he was busy ironing his clothes in the middle of the living room. The sound of the loud music was shaking the walls of his house.

Ashley stomped into his house, with Dave looking around the apartment in disgust; she felt like she was in a jail cell because of how ridiculously small it was in her eyes. She fixed her eyes on Xander. She was burning with fury as he didn’t acknowledge their presence.

She sauntered over to his music box and turned the music off, grabbing Xander’s attention. His jaw dropped to the ground at the sight of her, and oceans of emotions rushed through him as he remembered the hot night, he had spent with her and how he desired to touch her again. She stared at him in a weird way and ambled over to him.

“So, we meet again.” She managed to speak, but Xander didn’t utter a word; his mouth was still open, staring at her with lust and desire in his blue eyes. She snapped her fingers in his face, making him blink his eyes as he focused his attention on her. She felt a slight tingle in her stomach as she looked at him.

“What is wrong with you? Why are you behaving as if you have seen a ghost?” She asked while waving her hand. He ignored her and poked her face, making sure he wasn’t dreaming.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“How dare you touch my queen without her permission?” Dave asked, trying to step forward, but Ashley stopped him with her hand as Xander withdrew his hand.

“Stop acting like a child in kindergarten, Dave.” Ashley remarked and cleared her throat.

“Well, I don’t plan to spend another minute looking at your filthy face, so I will go straight to the point.” She declared.

“Your sister sold you to me.” She said grinning. Xander shivered at her words, finding it hard to believe her claims.

“…” he tried to speak, but no words came out of his mouth.

“Which means you are…” She paused, grabbing his tie as she pulled him closer to her, with their faces extremely close. “You belong to me; you are my property; I own you! I own every flesh and bone in your body.” She declared. He couldn’t hear anything but her powerful voice as she declared; her words spoke of power and authority, that sent shivers down his spine.

“From today onwards, you are mine! I am your boss, and you are my slave; you will have to pay the price for your sister’s greed.” She said with her eyes wide open, pulling the edge of his tie, and before Xander realized she was strangling him, he was gasping for air and his face was bright red.
