"Can you walk?" He asked me, and I shook my head like a child and replied. "No."
He groaned and lifted me in his arms, piggybacking me as he began carrying me out of the gym, drawing everyone's attention to us.
"That bitch is crazy." I heard someone say.
Jake took me home in my car and carried me out of the car, still carrying me in a piggyback ride toward the door of my mansion. "You are sleeping here tonight, right?" I asked him.
"Yea." He replied flatly. Our eyes landed on the door that was slightly open; maybe it was my security guard. He carried me into the house, pushing the door open with his head.
"Well, well, well, who do we have here?" I lifted my head to see Noah and a few of his goons standing around in my living room like they were waiting for me.
"What are you doing here? Didn’t you get arrested?" I inquired.
"Don’t be silly, I told you I couldn’t get arrested," Noah said, playing with the iron rod in his hand.
"I told you I was going to spend our wedding night with you, so I am here," Noah said with a shrug. "But if you don’t wanna spend it at your house, we can go to mine," he replied with a toothy grin. I didn’t know when I squeezed my fist into tight balls.
"That is not going to happen…I may have married you, but that doesn't mean we'll have a relationship because we're husband and wife." I snarled, giving him a cold glare.
"But you said you would give us a try." He protested.
"I lied, I don’t know what all this is about or why you brought your goons, but I am feeling sleepy, so you should all show yourselves out," I said, and I began tapping Jake on the shoulder. "Please take me to my room and ignore them," I said to him. Jake attempted to carry me away in the direction of the stairs when Noah stood in front of the stairs, resting his hand on the handrail. He licked his hand and used it to smooth his dirty hair backwards.
"Take my wife to my room." Noah declared. His goons then pulled guns from their pockets.
"Put the girl down." One of the goons said pointing the gun at Jake’s head.
"You are not my boss," Jake replied, attempting to go again when the goon fired a shot at us. My heart skipped a beat at the thought that Jake had been shot, but it turned out he fired the shot at the ceiling, I could see the hole it made.
"Hand over the girl now, or I am going to put the remaining bullets in your body." The goon said.
"What is this, some kind of joke? or a threat?" Jake inquired.
"Whore or Noah, or whatever your name is, you are not a cool man, you fucking disgust me, do you seriously want to force yourself on a girl because she is your wife?" Jake asked. Noah let out a soft chuckle, taking out a cigarette from his pocket and lifting it, sucking it dramatically. The alcohol was burning in my system, and I was starting to feel sleepy just listening to their crap.
"You said it, she is my wife," Noah said and released the smoke into the air. "That means I am responsible for her, not just that, she belongs to me, I own her by law and everything," Noah replied.
"You have got to be kidding me. Do you think you own her just because you got married to her?" Jake inquired.
"Yes, I own her, isn’t that what marriage is about, huh? It’s about the husband owning his wife, she belongs to him, and she has to submit to him." Noah answered.
"Ugh!!" I heard the sound of Jake rubbing his teeth together in anger. "I am not going to let you take her; you will have to kill me," Jake said.
"Then I will do it." I heard Noah’s voice; I was feeling dizzy.
"Enough!" I yelled. "Stop it, the both of you!" I shouted and jumped down from Jake’s back, staggering as I stood on my feet. I smiled and walked over to Noah, who was leaning against his chest as I looked up at him.
"You said you own me because you got married to me?" I inquired.
"Yes," he replied, smiling like a child.
"Okay, I will let you do anything you want to me tonight, but just promise me that after this you will divorce me because it seems you only want to get under my pants," I replied, taking the cigarette from him and tossing it to the floor.
"Alright, I will divorce you if you spend just one night with me." He said playing with a strand of my hair as he was eye-fucking me.
"Queen, what the hell are you doing? You shouldn’t be doing this, you know Noah can’t keep his promises, he is only using you," Jake stated.
"Tell them to go away," I said, grabbing Noah’s right hand as I started dragging him up the stairs.
"All of you go away, take him away." I heard him say as I was moving up the stairs, swaying my hips as I walked, that I could feel his lustful eyes on my body.
I took him to my dimly lit room and started undressing him while he was running his stupid hand over my body, resting his hand on my ass, and squeezing them with passion. I wasted no time in removing his chest. He moved his face closer to mine, trying to kiss me, but I didn’t kiss him back. I jumped, moved my face away, and ran my hand down his naked chest, resting it on his shorts and dragging it to the floor.
"Ooh, you are freaky. I like that." He remarked. I removed his shorts from his legs and stood up, my gaze fixed on his average-sized dick.
"What? Not satisfied?" He inquired.
"Well, I was expecting something more, but I will work with what I see," I remarked and pushed him towards the bed. He landed on the bed, smiling like a fool.

The following day dawned, casting an eerie light upon the grim gathering. Old man Carl stood resolutely on the shore of the sea, his face devoid of any trace of a smile. His stern expression and commanding voice cut through the air as he explained the rules of the game to Ashley and her group, who faced the submarines assigned to each of them.An intense tension settled upon the shore, amplified by Xander's frequent glances in Ashley's direction. She stood a mere inches away from him, next to Jake, while Carl loomed behind them all."Each of you knows exactly why you're here, you bunch of assholes," Carl began, his voice carrying across the water. He gestured toward the six sleek submarines bobbing in the water behind him. "Today, someone will meet their end, and this game will determine who. You will race in these submarines. The first five to cross the finish line shall be spared. The person who crosses last will pay with their life."With a sinister smile, he pulled out a handgun f
Mason stood outside his car in the dimly lit alley, stubbornly refusing to get inside while Melody persistently tapped on the window behind him. He retrieved a matchbox and a cigarette from his pocket, lighting it up and taking a long drag."Sorry to keep you waiting. You know that queen is a handful," Carl said, spreading his hands as he approached Mason from the other side of the alley."What was all that? Why did you make me look like a fool, you old hag?" Mason growled, exhaling a plume of smoke. Carl stood before him, a smirk playing on his lips."Perhaps you still consider her your queen?" Mason questioned."Hell no. She's nobody's queen. Just a naive little girl claiming to rule Miami when she's nothing without her dead father," Carl remarked. Mason extinguished his cigarette on Carl's shirt, leaving a stain behind. "If I find out the punishment you plan for her is a joke, I'll come for both of you. Mark my words, old hag." Mason's words carried the weight of a promise. He grab
Ashley anxiously bit her lip, her mind racing as she desperately searched for a solution. "I don't have access to my money at the moment," she admitted, her voice filled with determination. "But I promise I'll find a way to get it to you. Please, help me put Mason in his place."Carl shrugged, his indifferent expression unchanged. "Fine, I'll do it for you," he conceded before turning on his heel and heading towards the door.Just as Carl left, Xander emerged from the bathroom, a towel in hand, patting his damp hair dry. A furrow formed on his brow as he observed the scene before him, sensing that something was amiss. Concern etched his features as he approached Ashley. "What's going on?" he asked, his eyes fixed on her with genuine worry.Turning to face him, Ashley's eyes brimmed with determination. "I have to eliminate Mason once and for all," she declared firmly.Xander's brow furrowed deeper as he raised an important point. "Are you sure that's the real reason you're going? Or is
The sound of Mason’s ringing phone pierced through the silence of the room, waking him up from his sleep. He let out a groan as he reached for the phone on his nightstand, his hand brushing his hair back."Carl, do you have any idea what time it is?" Mason scolded as he answered the call.But his scolding was cut short as he heard Ashley’s voice on the other end of the line. His heart skipped a beat at the mention of her name, but he quickly composed himself."What do you want, Ashley?" he asked, trying to keep his voice steady."You have been asleep all day," she said, her voice dripping with disdain. "I’m coming to take my mother, and you better be ready to hand her over. Meet me at the location I will send you, or you will regret it."Mason felt a surge of anger course through his veins. How dare she threaten him like that?"No, Ashley," Mason replied firmly. "I’m not playing your games. This game is mine to play. You come to me if you want your mother back, I will send you the loc
Mason dragged Mary to the pool area, her screams echoing through the empty halls. The afternoon sun shone brightly, casting a warm glow on the cold water of the pool. He threw her into the shallow end of the pool, and she splashed around frantically, trying to keep her head above water."Please, Mason, please," Mary pleaded as he repeatedly shoved her head under the water, "Get this on camera." Mason ordered his henchmen, "I want Ashley to see what happens to those who cross me." Mary struggled to breathe as her head remained underwater for too long, but just as Mason was about to let her drown, he pulled her head out to prevent her from dying.Melody had followed them to the pool area, horrified by what she saw. "Please, Mason, stop this," Melody pleaded, tears streaming down her face. "You're hurting her. You're hurting everyone. Please, I'm begging you." But Mason just sneered at her, his eyes cold and unfeeling. "You don't understand, Melody," he said. "Ashley needs to see that I
"Are you okay?" Xander asked, moving closer to Ashley.Ashley took a deep breath and looked at Xander. "No, I'm not okay," she said, her voice low. "I don't love my mother, but I feel like I have to save her. I don't want to be an orphan." Xander looked at her, concern etched on his face. He put his arm around her, trying to offer some comfort. Ashley appreciated the gesture but couldn't shake the feeling that she was in a dangerous situation. Carl was standing right next to them, observing their interaction with a disapproving look on his face. Ashley couldn't help but feel like she was being watched all the time.Xander understood the gravity of the situation, and he knew that this must be hard for her. "I'm here for you. We'll get through this together," he said, pulling her into a warm embrace.To everyone's surprise, Ashley gave Xander a crushing hug, as if she needed it more than anything else in the world. Carl, being the old man he was, remarked, "Ashley finally has a boyfrien
Mary's heart beat wildly as she strode past the imposing entrance of Ashley's mansion, brushing past the stoic goons who guarded the perimeter. Her eyes darted around the spacious living room, searching for Ashley. "Ashley! Ashley! Come out, we need to talk!" Her voice echoed through the room.Mason heard the commotion and burst out of his room, gun in hand. He descended the stairs at a breakneck pace, his heart pounding in his chest. When he reached the bottom, he was surprised to see a middle-aged woman standing in the living room, impeccably dressed in a fashionable outfit."Who the hell are you?" Mason growled, pointing his gun at Mary.Mary didn't flinch. "Chris, where's Ashley? I need to speak with her," she demanded, her eyes blazing.Mason chuckled darkly. "My name's not Chris, lady. And who the hell are you to be demanding to see Ashley?"Mary felt a chill run down her spine when she saw the cold, hard look in Mason's eyes. She knew she was in trouble. "Please, I need to see
Ashley was in a steamy bath with Xander, their bodies intertwined as they kissed passionately. She could feel his hands on her waist as he trailed kisses down her neck, sending shivers down her spine. They were happy, acting like a couple, and for a moment, Ashley forgot that she was a mafia queen.Suddenly, Ashley gasped as she woke up from the dream. She was confused and unsettled, feeling as though she had just crossed a line she shouldn't have. Blinking the sleep from her eyes, she looked around the dark living room. Everyone else was still sleeping, but Xander and Jake were nowhere to be seen.She slipped on her flip-flops and made her way outside, following the sounds of voices to the farm. When she arrived, she was shocked to see Jake and Xander in the middle of a heated argument, with apples scattered all over the floor."What's going on here?" Ashley demanded, stepping between the two men."Stay out of this, Ashley," Jake snapped. "Xander needs to leave. He's not welcome arou
