SOLD TO THE MAFIA QUEEN

Ashley stood outside the bathroom, pounding on the door with all her might. She was desperate to go, but Xander was taking forever. This was her first time sharing a bathroom with someone, and it was turning out to be a complete nightmare.

“Xander, how much longer are you going to be?” Ashley called out, her voice strained.

“Calm down, Ashley. I just got in here,” Xander’s voice came from behind the door.

Ashley bit her lip, trying to hold it in. She looked around the hallway, taking in the peeling wallpaper and the cracked tiles on the floor. It was clear that the house had seen better days.

Living a luxurious lifestyle in Miami for a long time had made her accustomed to certain comforts. However, she had neglected the house for so long that she was now paying the price. The only part of the property that was being taken care of were the animals in the barn next to the apartment. She had hired a farmer to take care of them, but everything else had gone to hell.

Ashley gritted her teeth and grabbed the bathroom door, surprised to find that it was open. She barged in, ignoring Xander’s scream and the sound of the shower turning off.

“Hey! What are you doing?” Xander shouted, trying to cover himself with his hands.

“I can’t wait anymore,” Ashley said, her voice tight with frustration. “You’ve been in here forever.”

Xander’s eyes met hers as she pushed him aside and pulled down her pants, peeing right there in the bathroom.

Xander couldn’t help but stare. Ashley was beautiful, even when she was angry. He tried to hide his growing erection, covering it with soap lather.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

“Control yourself, Xander,” Ashley said, rolling her eyes as she pulled up her pants. “We have a meeting to attend.”

Xander watched her leave, admiring the sway of her hips as she walked away. He stroked his hair and turned the shower back on, unable to shake the image of Ashley from his mind.

***

Ashley sat on the tight couch, her only source of comfort in the dimly lit living room. The flickering flames from the fireplace cast an eerie glow over the room, casting shadows across the walls.

Xander, Chris, Jake, and Dave crowded around her, sharing the small couch. Dave’s girlfriend, who had come along uninvited, sat nervously on the armchair beside them. Ashley was not pleased with her presence, and her sharp tongue lashed out at Dave.

“We’re already crammed in here,” Ashley spat. “Why did you bring her? This apartment isn’t big enough for a lot of people.”

Dave tried to make amends, but Ashley cut him off. “We need to get rid of Mason. I want my life back. I’m tired of constantly looking over my shoulder, wondering when he’s going to strike next.”

The mention of Mason’s name made the room grow silent.

Chris spoke up, breaking the silence. “We can’t just kill him. That’s what got us in this mess in the first place. We can’t risk getting caught.”

Ashley glared at Chris. “Do you have any better ideas?”

Chris hesitated before shaking his head. The group fell silent once again, as they all racked their brains for a solution.

Jake spoke up, his voice hesitant. “What if we talk to Mason? Maybe we can bribe him to leave us alone.”

Ashley scoffed. “I’m not giving my money to an enemy. He’ll just keep coming back for more.”

Xander offered a more drastic solution. “We could just kill him. It’s the only way to ensure our safety.”

Ashley’s eyes lit up at the suggestion, and a wicked grin spread across her face. “I like the sound of that.”

Chris started arguing with her, but Ashley cut him off. “That’s enough. You’re all a bunch of fools. Get out and buy me some food.”

She pushed them off the couch before lying down. The dusty beds in the apartment were unwelcoming, so they would all be sleeping on the living room floor. As Xander and Chris went to buy food, Ashley leaned back against the couch, a sense of satisfaction washing over her. She was going to take control of her life once again, no matter what it took.

Chris and Xander returned with bags of packed junk food, and Ashley couldn’t resist diving right in. She was hungry and had no choice. Dave’s girlfriend, who had introduced herself earlier, spread a set of blankets on the living room floor, and they all settled in for the night. Xander and Jake fought to sleep beside Ashley, but Ashley put a stop to it by saying, “I want to sleep next to Chris.”

Xander was heartbroken, but Ashley shattered his heart even more when she pulled Chris closer and started making out with him. Chris was surprised at first, but he quickly surrendered to the passion and kissed Ashley back with equal fervor. Ashley’s lips were soft and warm against his, and he could feel her heart beating fast as he pulled her closer. Her hands were on his shoulders, and he could feel her fingers digging into his skin with desire.

As they kissed, Ashley pushed Chris onto his back and climbed on top of him. Chris ran his hands up and down her back, feeling her shiver with pleasure at his touch. They kissed for what seemed like an eternity, lost in the moment of pure bliss.

Xander watched in disbelief as Ashley and Chris made out, wondering what was wrong with Ashley just when he thought he won her heart. He could feel his own heart breaking into a million pieces as he watched Chris and Ashley deepen their kiss.

Just as things were heating up, a loud noise interrupted them. Ashley quickly got off Chris and looked around, trying to figure out what was happening. She heard footsteps in the hallway, and then someone banged on the apartment door.

The group froze, not knowing what to do. They had no idea who could be at the door or what they wanted. Ashley got up and tiptoed to the door, peering through the peephole.
