SOLD TO THE MAFIA QUEEN

“I am s-sorry.” The woman apologized with her eyes never leaving Xander. Some of them started murmuring. He went and sat on the chair in front of the mirror, pretending he didn’t know that all eyes were on him, or he was being talked about.

“I am ready.” he told the staff that wanted to give him a makeover. She gulped and moved closer to him, grabbing a foundation from the makeup desk.

“Please be fast I have somewhere to be.” He said. The staff nodded and lifted his face, using a wet wiper to clean his handsome face, she couldn’t help but admire his perfect nose as she cleaned it.

She finished cleaning his face and grab the wig she clutched his head forcing his hair into the wig as she forced it on his head. She arranged the wig, Xander looked at his face in the mirror he looked girly he had shaved his mustache just to look girlie enough so he could catch the criminal. After a minute that seemed like a million years to Xander the staff finished giving him a makeover, his butt was already aching she rubbed a red lipstick on his lips to complete his looks.

“Smack your lips like this.” She said rubbing her lips together. Xander watched her and also did it.

“Nice I look good.” He said to himself looking at his reflection in the mirror no one would be able to notice that he wasn’t a girl because he had this natural glow and he looked sexy. He took out his wallet and drilled out a few dollars and handed it to the staff she quickly took it from him brushing her hands with his in the process.

Xander gulped smiling at the women in the salon they were all staring at him like he was a movie. Xander got up from the seat and looked at the distance he needed to walk in the heels he managed to fool the ladies because he walked a small distance, but he didn’t know if he would be able to fool them this time.

He started walking unsteadily toward the entrance some of the women were laughing at him because of the look on his face as he struggled to walk holding some chairs for support.

“Oh no! Whoa!!” Xander screamed swinging his hand as he almost tripped on the heels.

“Just walk slowly and keep your eyes off the ground!!” The staff that had attend to him shouted.

Xander’s heart was pounding in his ribcage as he started trying to walk slowly with his head held high, he had made a fool of himself in front of the women, he walked a little when he got to the entrance, he quickly walked out the door and took off the heels holding them in his hands as he made his way to the car.

Melody pressed the polythene bag full of money and gold bars into a leather bag, she zipped up the bag and pushed the vault close with a panic in her eyes.

She lifted the heavy bag and backed it ambling out of the room. The walls closed on it own accord, she turned to the other side of the corridor and hastened her footsteps walking down the corridor she wanted to take her clothes with her, but she didn’t have time for that anymore she broke into Ashley’s room and stole one of her car keys from her drawer. She felt a little pain on her ankle and realized she was bleeding Spike had injured her.

She reached the main door of the house she pulled the door close bringing out her key to lock the door she was lost in thought thinking of all the possible things she and her boyfriend could do with the money her phone started ringing in her pocket jolting her out of her trance. Her heart skipped a beat as she took out her phone and stared at the caller it was Ashley her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. She picked up the call with her hands trembling.

“H-hello…” she muttered she could hear the sound of her heartbeat.

“How are you? I hope you didn’t spend a lot of time with the clients today.” Ashley remarked. She sighed in relief that Ashley didn’t know what she was up to.

“No, I told them that I was experienced in the business, and I know what I had to do.” Melody replied biting her lower lip.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“If you are at home, please make sure the maids had filled Spike’s plate with a lot of kibbles.” Ashley declared and hung up on her before she could say anything.

“Gosh, she is too bossy, I guess this is the last time I will talk to this nasty queen.” She said and tossed her phone to the ground before heading to the garage.

Ashley sat next to her unconscious father on the bed, there was a nurse in the room attending to him the moment she saw Ashley she exited the room to give them some privacy. Ashley grasped her fathers cold hand gazing at him.

“Dad, hang in there, I promise I won’t let you down, I will try my best to restore your honor, I won’t get married to Noah.” She said giving his hand a friendly squeeze.

She let go of his hand and sat up on the bed in an attempt to leave the room. Jake peeped at her before entering the room. Ashley walked around the center table her handbag hit the TV remote on the table and the TV went on it was on the news channel.
