"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 that 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 grabbed the wig. She clutched his head, forcing his hair into the wig as she forced it onto his head. She arranged the wig. Xander looked at his face in the mirror; he looked girly. He had shaved his moustache just to look girly 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.
"How am I supposed to know? Call Chris he has to go bury the body first before the police find out his whereabouts." Ashley said with her eyebrows lowered and pulled together. She didn’t want anything to happen to Chris because he was the reason the doctor died. Jake’s phone started ringing in his pocket. "When will the bodyguards I ask you to employ for my father arrive?" She asked "They are going to arrive tomorrow my queen, I found some of his old bodyguards and they are more than willing to guide him again, I am still trying my best to look for a good police officer to guide you." He said. "Good job, answer your call. I will head home now." She said and gave him a warm smile before walking out of the room. Xander waited in line to enter the strip club he had a feeling he looked like his sister dressed like a woman a lot of guys were already wooing him. But he was ignoring them. He felt a cold breath on his neck the person behind him moved closer to him rubbing his shaft against
It was midnight in the city of Miami, but the city was still awake. The police force was all over the city. Mr Paul’s wife had organized a search party to look for her husband. Police helicopters were moving around the city, shining their blinding lights on the roofs and doors of every house in search of the doctor. The city was in a serious lockdown, and no one was allowed to go out after reaching home. Ashley drove into her garage after a long drive and stepped out of her car, massaging her sore neck, and yawning in exhaustion as she stretched her hands in the air. She sauntered to her front door and opened her handbag, looking for her house keys. She touched the keys and grasped them, but she also saw a broken phone on the floor. She narrowed her eyes at the phone and looked around before squatting to pick it up. She flipped the phone, glancing at it. "Hmm, who must have thrown away such an expensive phone?" She muttered to herself and tapped the screen of the phone, but it was
Spike jumped on her body. She crashed on the floor with him, on her backside. He was roaring in her face as he lifted his claw to scratch her. She caught his claw in the air. Her head was hurting from the fall. "Calm down, boy. It’s me, Ashley." Ashley said in a coaxing tone, gritting her teeth in pain. She could sense that her dog was angry about something, and someone had locked him in there. He stuck out his tongue and licked her face gruffly. She pushed him away immediately and got up on her feet. "Tell me, Spike, who locked you in there?" She asked him, looking keenly at him. He barked at her a few times and started running down the corridor. He stopped halfway as he saw that she wasn’t following him. She was busy wiping dirt off her clothes. He ran back to her and licked her hand, pulling it with his mouth without biting her. She understood his gesture quickly. "That tickles. Alright, alright, I will come with you." She said, smiling at him, and started walking down the corrid
"Where did you get that? Take that away from us." One of them declared. "No! no! no! I am not going to hurt you guys with this; I want to save you." He assured them, looking into the rifle to make sure there were bullets in it. The girls were still trembling in fear, and some of them started crying while others were screaming. The room was soundproof, so the people outside couldn’t hear them. "Shhh, calm down girls, I am not going to harm you…you guys want to get out of here, right?" He asked them, and they nodded positively. "I also want to get out of here; you will all have to work with me." He said. He explained his escape plan to them; they all liked the plan and promised to help him. ****** Ashley sneezed as she got to the painting her vault was behind. She was sure Spike didn’t know where she kept her money; it seemed somewhat fishy, and Spike started barking loudly at the painting. *Woof!! Woof!* She squatted to his level, stroking his fur. "Is everything alright, boy? I
"Please take this car back to the mansion I told you about," she said. "Drive into the mansion, drop the car, I got it!" The man said he was attempting to go. "Wait! Just ditch the car somewhere around the mansion." Melody said, her boyfriend started rolling their luggage away. She looked back at the city one more time, took a deep breath, and followed him. The next day, Ashley woke up to the sounds of sirens; the sound was so deafening that it was making her ears bleed; she grunted and got down from the bed; she tied the rope of the red lingerie she was wearing, and Spike was still sleeping on the floor. She shoved her legs into the flip-flop close to her bed, rubbing her sleepy eyes as she ambled out of her room. She slowly walked down the stairs, heading to the living room, when she spotted Chris, who had been handcuffed. He was sweaty, his hair was rough, and there were red marks on his face like he had been hit a lot. Jake was patting the shoulder of a sobbing woman; he was wh
"How can you say such a thing about Chris," Ashley said, glaring at Jake, who chuckled and scratched the back of his head nervously. "As I said earlier, we are not sure Mr Chris was the one who murdered the doctor; we are still trying to get the CCTV footage of the place the crime took place and get a few witnesses… Mr Chris is a gangster, which means he must have done that under the instruction of someone." Detective Brad said. "You can ask us what you want to know," Ashley said with her hands folded across her chest and her head held high. "Since you are the leader of a fearless gangster group, you are one of our suspects," Detective Brad said, glancing at the wristwatch in his right hand. "Just get straight to the point; I have somewhere to be," Ashley said rudely. "Well, the questioning will take a few minutes of your time. I also need a place to use in your house for the questioning, or if you don’t mind, you can follow me to my office." He said. "Don’t worry, I have enough
As soon as Ashley finished wearing a stylish blue gown that reached her thigh, revealing the beautiful skin of her thigh, a knock came on her door. "Who is that? I am coming." She said, looking at her face in her crystal mirror, she was wearing a bad girl style of makeup that screamed evil; everything about the makeup was deadly and black, from the red lipstick that looked like blood to the scary black outliner that almost reached her ears. She smacked her lips together and headed for the door the moment she opened the door. Dave rushed in panting, flaunting her car keys in her face. "I-I found your car." He said slowly catching his breath. She took the key from him. "Where did you find it?" She asked, staring at the key. "I found a guy trying to ditch your car in the middle of the road; I took the car from him and got him arrested; he is in police custody." He replied. "Where did he get my car?" She questioned. "I had the cops torture him for an hour or two, he says, it was given

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
