SOLD TO THE MAFIA QUEEN

“We don’t have much time, Queen, we need to leave,” Jake said taking a step toward her, but she raised her hand and told him not to come any closer to her. Jake started breathing heavily. “When I arrived in front of Noah’s mansion last night, I and the men that went with me were attacked by the gunmen that were guiding his mansion. We tried our best to hide Noah’s body, but…” Jake paused and continued.

“They managed to see the body, and they went crazy, and it led to a shootout, all of our men died at the spot. I managed to hide in an abandoned building until this morning because they were still looking for me after taking Noah’s body away, I think they will be coming for you, next queen.” Jake said in a worried tone.

“Relax, they won’t be coming for me. Those henchmen need someone to tell them what to do, and Noah is not alive to boss them around. Neither is his father, and he doesn’t have any siblings, he is the only child like me, and I knew what I was doing when I killed him.” Ashley said taking out her phone. “Chris thought I was acting based on impulse, but I had analyzed the whole situation in my head before I acted,” Ashley said as she tapped the screen of her phone and called the gang that was holding Kendrick hostage.

“Um, queen I know what I am saying, I saw the anger in the eyes of the henchmen I don’t think they will wait for someone to tell them what to do, I think they-” Ashley shushed Jake, placing the phone in her ear. I got up from the dining table to allow the maids to clean properly while I ambled to where they were and stood a few inches away from them.

“Is the old hag still there with you?” she spoke into the phone. “Hmm, that’s good. I want you to do me a solid and kill him now. I want to hear the sound of the gunshot or put it on a video call.” She said and cut the call, staring at her phone. Chris and Jake moved closer to her, staring at the screen of the phone. I was also eager to see, so I moved closer to them and tilted my head to look. We were all extremely close to each other, breathing the same oxygen, but neither of us cared. Ashley’s jaw clenched as we all saw Kendrick being taken out of the sweat machine by two muscular men. Kendrick was half dead, he was struggling to keep his eyes open, and his body was covered in sweat. and his skin was extremely red like he had been tanned. They let go of him, and he fell to his knees in front of the sweat machine, weak and helpless.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

A female thug stood in front of him, pointing a gun at his head. “Ashley, don’t kill him, you will make matters worse,” Chris said.

“I have to kill him if we want to keep him alive. I won’t forgive myself if I don’t finish this game of theirs, and besides, he is the person I want to kill the most because I believe he was the mastermind behind what happened to my father.” She remarked. I had no idea why gangsters had to take lives to get what they wanted or to be free, the more lives they took, the more their lives would be in danger and the more enemies they would have. They had a habit of killing people as if they were nothing.

“I am ready, Ms Gates.” The female thug said.

“Do it. Kill that madafucker.” Ashley declared with a straight face. I clenched my fist at her vile words. I wished I could prevent this from happening, but I couldn’t do anything about it. The thug pulled the trigger and shot Kendrick twice in the chest. Kendrick fell to the floor with blood rushing out of his chest. “Now that the father and son are out of the picture, there is no one to threaten our lives again,” Ashley said, she switched off the phone and smiled at her bodyguards, Jake forced a smile, but Chris didn’t smile, he just shook his head and turned his back on her.

“Taking two lives can’t end this dangerous game you just started, you will realize this as time goes on,” Chris commented.

“Stop saying crap. Chris, nothing is going to happen, there are gunmen outside the mansion to protect us, didn’t you hire them?” she said to him.

“I have an appointment with the doctor, I have to see if I can fight again and get this bandage off my hand because we don’t know what might happen in the future,” Chris said solemnly as he began to walk to the door.

“I don’t know why he is being so difficult lately, he thinks he is the only smart one here,” Jake said with a big smile on his face, and I couldn’t comprehend if he was the one who was panicking and saying we had to leave this place or not. I had to get out of here and look for my sister and know how she got me into this mess in the first place, but how?

Ashley fixed her evil gaze on me, giving me attention for the first time today: “I have a task for you.” She said. My body tensed up.

“Jake would be going with you,” she said as if she knew I was getting scared. “Come with me so I can tell you what you need to do.” She said and started walking to the stairs.

I was in her office with Jake, she was sitting behind her desk and talking on the phone, but I could barely hear what she was saying because she was whispering rather than talking. She finished talking on the phone and dropped it on her desk. Her eyes darkened.

“My dad had this unfinished business before he died.” She started. “I want the two of you to finish it today.” She said this while putting her hand under the desk and placing a grey briefcase on it.

“What is the business about, queen?” Jake asked. She smirked and wiggled her brow. “What do you think it is?” She said as she opened the briefcase, revealing a large sum of money.

“I want you guys to pay for some cocaine.” She declared.
