SOLD TO THE MAFIA QUEEN

Ashley smirked as she saw that her father was still as cunny as she knew him, and she was feeling good that he gave Noah a taste of his own medicine.

“Are you threatening me right now?” Noah asked with his mouth slightly open.

“I am not threatening you; your father is in my custody; you have to think of him.” Lugard said. Noah’s face contorted in anger. He angrily pushed his hand into his pocket and took out the antidote, handing it to the butler, who took it from him and handed it to Ashley, who opened it and gave it to her father.

“Now where is my father?” Noah questioned.

“Calm down, boy, let’s see if the antidote works.” The butler replied. Noah gnashed his teeth, staring at Lugard as he poured every last drop of the antidote into his mouth. Lugard finished drinking it and tossed the bottle to the floor. He sighed and laid back on the bed.

“Dad, do you feel better now?” Ashley asked curiously.

“No, I still feel pain all over my body.” He replied, closing his eyes, and she covered him with the duvet.

“He will be fine after an hour, so where is my father!” Noah shouted.

“Chill out, boy; your father is in safe hands. He will be released after I know that my father is fine.” Ashley replied and got up from the bed.

“It will take about an hour for the antidote to go around his body, and you can’t keep my father in that sweatbox for a long time.” Noah complained.

“We can.” Ashley said, shrugging her shoulders. “Let’s go out and wait until my father is okay.” She said she walked over to him and grabbed his wrist, attempting to drag him out, when he yanked his hand out of her grip.

“No! I can’t wait! Get my father out of that place!” Noah snapped. “Calm down, boss, I think they have the upper hand now.” Noah’s bodyguard stated, making Noah groan in anger.

“No! they must take my father out of there; that antidote is going to cure him, okay!” Noah shouted.

“You have to calm down, pretty boy.” They all heard a female’s voice and turned to look at the door to see a woman wearing a ski mask with a gun in her hand; there were two other guys standing behind her. “How can you tell me to calm down? I am not going to calm down!” Noah shouted at her. A smile curled across her face.

“Then I will make you calm down.” She stated before Noah knew it, his face was against the floor with the woman’s right foot on his face, pressing him against the floor. They were all in the living room waiting for Lugard to recover, while Ashley was pacing around in the living room worried about her father, although he had taken the antidote. Just then, the main door of the mansion opened, with Dave and Xander walking in.

“What is he doing here?” She asked Dave.

“Uh, he wanted to come, since he is part of your bodyguards now.” Dave replied.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Huh? He is not one of my bodyguards, and I haven’t accepted him yet. After hearing what he said, I don’t think I want him to be my bodyguard anymore; I will just have to send him to prison for his sister’s crime.” Ashley remarked.

“No! You can’t do that! I am ready to serve you; just take me in.” Xander pleaded. “Why should I take you in?” Ashley inquired raising a brow.

“…because in a few weeks’ time I won’t have a roof over my head anymore.” Xander said he was walking closer to her. “I don’t have a job or any source of income anymore.” Xander added with his eyebrows lowered and pulled together, acting like he was broken while what he wanted to achieve was at the back of his head.

“Please, you have to forgive me; I will work for you even if you pay me 30 bucks a month.” He said reaching for Ashley’s hand.

“Hey! Don’t touch my wife!” Noah yelled, making the woman press her feet into his face. Ashley moved her hand away, not allowing Xander to touch him, and moved closer to him, whispering in his ear.

“…for the record, I hate seeing your face; I hate seeing the faces of the men with whom I have one-night stands, because I can’t stop thinking of those nasty things…I must say you know how to handle a woman.”

“Stay away from her!” Noah snapped. Xander felt cold thrills as he heard what she had to say. He had the urge to carry her in his arms again and fuck the hell out of her, but all the things she had done to him had made him hate her to the extent that he wanted to see her behind bars, even if it meant losing his life in the process.

Time went by so fast that the butler rushed down the stairs to inform them that Lugard was awake. Ashley was the first to run up the stairs, excited to see her father. The moment she entered his room, she saw him trying to get up from the bed.

She rushed to him and hugged him passionately, with tears escaping from her eyes.

“I am glad you are okay, dad…Just the thought of losing you was making me go insane…I…I can never think of…” he patted her back.

“Don’t worry, darling, I know how you feel.” He said. “But trust me, I am here for you always.” He assured her.

“Oh, daddy, I am so happy you are alright. Mary came to me the other day, saying all sorts of garbage about how she wanted a share in your property.” She said refusing to let him go. She felt his body vibrate, and then she felt all his weight on hers.

“Dad! Dad!” she shouted with panic in her eyes as she tapped him on the back. “Dad, what’s wrong? Are you alright? You are scaring me?” She queried, gritting her teeth as she attempted to get him off of her.
