SOLD TO THE MAFIA QUEEN

Shane felt a tight knot in his stomach as he heard the doorbell ring. He had been expecting the clients he had just entertained with his girlfriend. Perhaps they wanted to go another round, he thought with a smile. But his expression fell when he saw two men with masks standing in front of him.

“Who are you looking for?” he asked, trying to shut the door on them. But they were too quick. They pushed their way into the living room, hitting him hard on the chest and sending him reeling. Shane tried to reason with them, but they just searched the place as if they were looking for something.

One of the men spoke into an earpiece. “We need backup to cover grounds.” Shane’s heart skipped a beat as more gunmen entered the room. They started searching the house, while one of them headed toward the bedroom where Melody was still sleeping.

Shane tried to stop them, but they pushed him aside effortlessly. He knew that he had left his phone with the money the clients had given him in the room, and he didn’t want the men to find it.

“Please, leave her alone!” he shouted, as one of the men entered the bedroom. He tried to run away, but they grabbed him and dragged him along. “What do you want from us?” he asked, his voice shaking with fear.

But they didn’t answer him. They were too busy searching the room for something. Shane felt helpless as he watched them ransack the place, tearing apart everything in their way.

Suddenly, he heard a loud scream coming from the bedroom. “Melody!” he shouted, trying to break free from the men’s grasp.

But they held him tightly, as if they were waiting for something. Shane felt his heart pounding in his chest as he listened to the sounds of chaos and destruction coming from the other room.

Melody’s heart raced as she saw the group of gunmen burst into her bedroom. She clutched the duvet, trying to cover herself, but it was no use. One of them walked towards her on the bed, his gun pointed at her, but his voice was surprisingly calm.

“I don’t want to hurt you,” he said. “I just want to know where you kept the money you stole from our queen.”

Melody’s mind raced. How did they find her here? She had been hiding for months. But then she remembered their queen was a mafia boss and a billionaire. She took a deep breath and decided to come clean.

“I used up the money,” she said. “I’ll try to find a job and pay the debt.”

The masked gunmen laughed, and Melody felt a chill run down her spine.

“An average job won’t be able to pay up the amount of money you stole in years,” one of them said.

They shattered the room, searching for any clues of the stolen money. Melody was urged to wear clothes in front of them, and she slowly got up from the bed, naked in front of them.

“Where are we taking her?” one of the gunmen asked.

“Back to Miami,” the leader said. “The queen wants her alive.”

Melody’s stomach twisted in fear as she reached for the closet, searching for clothes. “Please,” she whispered. “Don’t hurt me.”

The leader chuckled. “We won’t hurt you,” he said. “Not yet, anyway.”

Melody knew she was in deep trouble. She had to find a way out of this mess before it was too late.

They were armed and dangerous, and Melody knew better than to resist. She wore black leggings and a blue shirt and complied without a fight. The leader led her out of the room by the arm and into the living room, where they saw Shane struggling in the arms of one of the gunmen. The gunman was holding Shane back with his hand around his neck, while Shane was trying to intervene, but the gunman grabbed him and held him back.

“Let go of me!” Shane yelled, struggling to get free, but it was no use. The gunman let go of Shane and kicked him in the butt, making him stumble towards Melody and the other gunmen in the middle of the living room.

The leader turned to him. “You must be the boyfriend. You’re coming with us, too.” Shane’s heart sank. He had no idea what they were talking about. “I didn’t do anything! I swear!” he protested.

Melody spoke up, her voice trembling. “I don’t know who he is! He just burst in here!” she lied. Shane was shocked. He couldn’t believe she was denying him like this. “Mel, what are you doing? They’re going to take you away!” he pleaded.

But the gunmen were unmoved. “You can’t be trusted,” the leader said. “You’re an accomplice in stealing from our queen.”

Shane’s mind raced as he tried to make sense of what they were saying. He had never stolen anything, let alone from a queen. He protested again, “Please take me with you. I won’t be able to survive without her. She is my source of income.” But the gunmen just sneered at him.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Man, up and get a job,” one of them said.

As they started to leave, Melody turned away from Shane. He tried to run after them, but she told him to stay put. “You need to focus on your acting career,” she said.

Shane watched in despair as they drove off into the night. He felt like his life was a mess, and he didn’t know what to do next. His mind was a whirlwind of emotions – anger, sadness, confusion, and betrayal. He couldn’t believe that the woman he loved had just denied him to save herself.

Shane started destroying objects in the living room in anger. He had no idea what to do next. He had always dreamed of making it big as an actor, but now it seemed like a distant dream. He had lost his girlfriend, and he was being accused of a crime he didn’t commit.
