Sold To The Mafia

Eight months ago, Zara Kingston's best friend Mira Hawks came crying to her and informed that she was pregnant and she had no idea who the father was. It was a one night stand and she didn't know that she would end up getting pregnant.

Zara being friends with Mira for ten years, couldn't stop supporting her best friend who has been her emotional rock. She did support her decision to keep the baby and was there when she did another confirmation test on her pregnancy.

After that-

From talking with Mira's parents to arranging baby showers, putting the nursery for the kid with her own money, gender reveal party and all kinds of maternal programmes that Mira needed to attend as mother, everything she has done for her. She was excited to be the best Godmother of the baby.

Three months ago, Zara lost her dream job because of unfairness, but she kept her composure perfect. She supported Mira unconditionally, and didn't let her severe depression come between her taking care of her pregnant bestie and her responsibility as best friend.

And obviously, she couldn't deny the fact that, after losing her dream competition and her dream job, her family suddenly became so attentive and supportive that she couldn't stop feeling blessed. From emotionally abusive parents, they turned into lovely and perfect parents who started loving her as equally as her brother, who has always been the golden child of her millionaire parents.

Today,

Mira has given birth to a beautiful baby girl.

Shawn, her boyfriend, was here with her brother, Zayn Kingston, who seemed to have been extra caring for Mira.

Mira's family and her family are close enough to invite them to different occasions, thanks to this miracle baby.

Right now, holding a huge basket, filled with all kinds of sushi and desserts that she made in the early morning, Zara heads to the Inpatient Ward. Mira was transferred there soon after she gave birth naturally.

With a huge smile on her face, Zara walks towards the room where Mira is.

And this is where something hideous is going to happen.

" How should we proceed with this? If she learns about the truth, she will hate us! But I no longer want to keep hiding it!"

She stops by the door when she hears her best friend Mira's voice coming from the patient room. Judging by her tone, she seems to be upset about something.

" We will keep things as secret as possible if you don't want to ruin things."

Zara's eyes widen when she hears her brother's voice. He said that he would be at the company today because there's some important business to finish.

" Do you want me to keep my baby away from its father? This is so unfair to me and the baby!" Mira almost shouts,

Zara clamps her mouth and mumbles, " That means - The father of the child is Brother?"

Her eyes dance with happiness. Although she can't understand why Mira didn't say anything. She should have told everyone about it. Nobody will reject her or the baby.

" My poor Mira. You should have told us about it. This is my first niece! I'm an auntie n-!"

" Are you kidding me? If you mess things up now, we all will be in trouble. We all know that Zara's grudge is dangerous. If you disclose this truth, everything will be out of the box!" Zayn yells at Mira without holding his anger.

Zara's eyebrows knit with confusion because she doesn't know what's happening. " What truth? What are they talking about?"

Clenching the basket, she leans against the wall. She doesn't mean eavesdropping, but she can't help since it's clear that they're having problems related to her..

" What truth? Do you think it will stay under the rug when you will have to tell her that the Ultimatum is real and she is going to marry that man your dad arranged for her if she loses the competition?"

What did she just hear?

Zara's eyes flick with shock and utter disbelief. She thought the ultimatum was a simple bet that her father wanted to put on. What are they talking about?

" Who is going to tell her the truth? Also this is a deal of two billion dollars. She has to agree. She needs to accept her fate!" Zayn shouts.

" Lol!" Mira scoffs, " Selling your own sister is already shameful. If she knows that it wasn't an arrangement to marry her off but she is being sold for two billion dollars and it's entirely your personal gain. Do you think she will forgive you? She is stupid enough to think that her family loves her. But she doesn't know that her family is selling her off for two billionaires dollars because their golden child wants to have his own business. Am I not right?"

" This fucking mouth!" Zayn grabs her chin and presses it strongly enough to make her inner cheeks bleed.

" What are you trying to say? You are so concerned about your best friend while giving birth to her boyfriend's child. Aren't you too bold for saying those words to me?" He shoves her face and scoffs,

"What will happen when she knows that not only us but also you, who she adopted like a stray dog, actually slept with her boyfriend behind her back and got pregnant. Also, that dog dared to use her money, time and effort to make a good pregnancy journey. Do you think you will end up in good condition?"

Hearing these words, Zara feels paralyzed, as if she is walking through a nightmare. The realization that not only has she been betrayed by those she trusted, but also that someone she has taken in and cared for- has slept with her boyfriend and gotten pregnant, left her in utter disbelief. And she, on top of that, did everything to make sure she has a comfortable pregnancy.

" Well, it's not my fault that she couldn't give her man a place to get solace. She was too afraid of losing virginity to her own boyfriend. You said that men are dogs. They can't stop searching for a place to get solace!"

" So- You spread your legs for someone's boyfriend who gave you a place to stay, didn't you?" Zayn smirks mockingly.

" Shut up!" Mira snarls at Zayn, " Shawn loves me. Unlike your sister who was too boring, he found me his perfect soulmate. It's her fault that -!"

" Well, I don't care about anything. Tomorrow she has to leave the house for her in-laws. It's better that she is virgin. I could sell her for two billion dollars because she is a virgin. That bastard wanted a virgin when he was playing with thousands of women. Such a narcissist." Zayn scoffs.

" I heard he is from the Mafia. What if he investigates the competition? Everyone knows that the judges were unfair. Zara told me that she would investigate the situation once she calms down. What if she asks him to help. He will eventually learn that you are the one who bribed the judges and I am the one who stole the recipes for my sister. Do you think we will get killed?" Mira sounds scared and concerned.

" Tsk. Do you think she will ask it to him? I am sure she will just hate that man's gut. I don't care what happens next. According to the contract, he will give me two billions tomorrow. So it doesn't matter what happens next. Just until tomorrow, I must keep an eye on her so that she doesn't lose her virginity."

" Hah! I think she won't. Even after 25 years she has no idea what a kiss tastes like!" Mira scoffs and lies down. " I wonder what she will come with my sushi. It's been a while since I ate her premium sushi!"

" She will be here soon. I should get going. Keep your fucking mouth shut until tomorrow if you don't want to see yourself in hell" Zayn said.

Mira just scoffs.She has already written her own fate. Being pregnant with the man that Zara loved was her ultimate dream. Living in the dream of Zara's dream was her main target.

Zara, who has been listening to every single word from them, remains silent. Tears are forcing to roll down her red cheeks.

Although it's not winter, her entire body shivers crazily. Her heart throbs against her throat. Each second spends like a year as she keeps repeating the words in her head.

Did her family destroy her? Did they betray her? She can't help but want to wake up from the nightmare.

However, her heart seems to have stopped feeling those pain anymore when she realizes that she was not the one who should cry.

She hugs her knees and buries her face.

Thanks to the door, Zayn didn't see her sitting there.

She sighs sharply, wiping the tears. Was it what she deserved?Her accomplishments and efforts turned into ashes the day her family sold her like a product-in exchange for what? Money?

No matter how hard she tried, at the end of the day, she was only a mere tool for other's convenience.

And she couldn't feel better anyway.

A virgin who was worth two Billion?

Was two billion dollars more important than her dream? Was she just a product that was worth of two billion dollars and they didn't find it hard to sell it?

Why?

Her mind screams with fury. A virgin who is worth two billion? Not her but her virginity is worth two billion dollars.

What would happen if her dearest soon-to-be husband learnt that she was no longer virgin?

What would happen if her dearest soon-to-be husband got to know that her family lied and she lost the two billion worth of virginity. And they fooled him. She wants to see the aftermath.

A sudden snap in her head makes her pause for a few seconds.

She knows that it will be enough to make them pay for everything they have done.

She hasn't met Mira's sister but she met her mother who likes her. She is going to make sure Mira knows why nobody can mess with her. She will make sure Shawn, her trashy boyfriend knows that he is a worthless piece of shit.

An evil smirk appears on her face. She will concentrate on her family first.

The game has just begun. Messing with Zara Kingston is not an easy game. She didn't want to confront anyone because she thought it would waste her precious time. But it seems like they just crossed the limit that they are not supposed to.

After distributing the sushi to the nurses, Zara sent ten thousand dollars to their accounts as a gift for their hard work. This money was a gift for Mira. But she is not wasting her money on someone who bites the hand that fed them.

But before that she told them to deliver two pieces of sushi in Mira's room without saying who sent it. So that she would at least get the anxiety of being heard.

Why would she give Mira a moment of peace when she is having her soul crushed?

After that, she booked a hotel room in a regular bar and directly headed to the bar without any second thoughts on the decision she made.

After reaching the hotel bar, she orders the strongest liquid, tipping the bartender another grand so that he won't interfere with her business.

After pouring half of the bottle in her stomach, she turns towards the people who are enjoying their time.

Her blurry eyes search for the man who is suitable for her virginity.

She squints her eyes, focusing on each boy in the bar.

However, her eyes catch a prominent figure. Although because of the glass she can't see his entire face, those radiant brown eyes, shining with the lights and the dark black hair covering half of his left eye, are just breathtakingly gorgeous.

Gulping another glass of whiskey, she slowly walks towards the man who is enjoying his time with some friends, until his attention goes to the woman who suddenly sits on his lap. The strong reek of alcohol is coming from the man as well.

His eyes slowly reach hers. Like a foggy dream, their eyes just met each other as if they're longing for.

" Hey!" She blows air in his ear and whispers, " You look familiar, I know those eyes." Her hand trails his eyes, gently stroking the thick eyebrows.

"Would you like to take my first time? It's free!"

Before he can reply, she cups his face and smashes his lips harshly.

" I booked a room, only for us! Let's go!"

She wraps his arms around her waist, welcoming him with her innocent seduction that makes the other person who is half-drunk darkening his gaze.

"Don't regret later!" A cold and deep voice sends shivers down her spine before heading upstairs.

Next day...

Pain... Everything felt painful.

Zara Kingston's eyes flash open. As soon as she saw the strange ceiling with a chandelier hovering above her, her heart drops to her stomach. Her eyes slowly blink twice to recall the reason for her being here. Her faltering breath comes to her ears-she feels suffocated. The unpleasant recollection suddenly starts flooding in her mind.

All the memories of her being rebellious against her family who betrayed her and sold her dream for their own profit flooded inside her head. They betrayed her and her trust in them.

To make sure, everything goes against her parents' plan, she climbed on a stranger's lap and lost her virginity last night after drinking an entire bottle of Whiskey to get drunk. She was the one who initiated first and whispered to a stranger's ear that she had booked a hotel room above.

She couldn't wait to humiliate her parents when her soon-to-be husband would know that she had given away her virginity to another man. His two billion dollars' virgin Bride had lost her chastity to a stranger and enjoyed a wild and sinful night.

Slowly, she turns to her left side, and her breath hitches immediately at the sight that welcomes her. A man is sleeping with his long arms and legs wounded around her body full of marks and hickeys.

It was an unbelievable experience. The utterly new sensation had thrown her to heaven and brought her to the earth constantly. Throughout the heated evening, he had been nothing but rough and like a beast in heat, giving her a full wild rollercoaster of new sensations and emotions.

Her cheeks ting red out of embarrassment and shyness. She was so loud and those dirty sounds made her question about her own personality. Did she really beg him for something like that?

Despite his callousness, she has to admit that it was indeed unforgettably pleasurable and satisfying...The night was still vivid in her mind . Despite being in her first time, she felt it was different. Different than what she read in books or what the female servants gossiped about their love life. It felt addictive and his wildness made her pull her broken self together last night.

She lets a small sigh out as she collects her belongings. The impulsivity of their heat probably has forced him to use his entire force to undress them. As a result, Zara finds the blouse is torn apart from the sleeves. Thankfully, it can be worn under the silk scarf that she got as a gift from her grandpa.

After covering her body full of love bites, she grabs her purse and takes Two thousand dollars of cash and puts the money on the nightstand.

Her back arches as she puts it on the nightstand, causing her to feel the sharp pain in her back. Her face turns red, realizing she may want to get into some forbidden act if she doesn't leave the room immediately.

" Here is your payment for a perfect night."

Her voice comes out gravelly. The sound seems to have hit the spot that makes her cough. It is because of the coquettish screaming last night.

Blushing, she belatedly clears her voice and hurries out of the hotel room that she booked last night. It will be best if she never crosses the road with this person anymore in her life.

After a long drive , before the sun shines the world, she skillfully sneaks to her room, and thereon, barely managed to take a cold shower before collapsing her soft bed and her favorite duck pillow.

As she looks through the window with her heavy lids, a faint light escapes through the gap of the open drapes. Dawn is breaking into the distant sky and she would have started preparing for her first task, preparing the baking ingredients for the Madeleine and Mont Blanc chestnut crust if her dream wasn't crushed.

But for now, she wants more sleep. She wants to sleep and never opens her eyes. After all, from today onwards, she has nothing to do. The dream of being a Pâtissiére has been destroyed and sold by her own family.

She takes a deep breath and decides to take another long nap to avoid any more overthinking.

However, her mind refuses to give her peace. She can't bring herself to rest-things that happened just last night will suddenly wreak havoc in her head. She feels a heavy air forcing to escape from her chest. A melancholic emotion shakes her heart.

Specifically, the man's image flashes in her thoughts. Now that she is no longer with him, the left side of her bed looks different. His body temperature, which had previously engulfed her, was hot enough to ignore the blankets. Because of his enormous body that could cage her without any struggle, she felt that the bed in the hotel was small even when they were snuggled close together in the king-size bed.

Because of his tight and protective guards around her body, she couldn't overthink her life. In his arms, she forgot all the pain she went through yesterday. She felt nothing but warmth. No time to overthink in front of the perfect definition of the Beast.

" It would have been nice if I could stay like this forever!"

She hopes although she finds it ridiculous. She has to leave the house after breakfast, driving two hours to a random house to meet her husband.

There will be no grand wedding that she dreamed of having with her love of life. Just a relationship between black and white papers and some alphabets.

Letting go of those unwanted thoughts, she clutches the soft blanket. Inhaling the scent of rose that has been spread all over the bed since she hates the scent of detergents, she closes her eyes. As if she is searching for the smell of that stranger who made her seek warmth in his arms.

But unfortunate to her, the time seems to have gone against her like her Luck.

One of the servants opens the door and walks towards the window with a new set of curtains.

They're aware of her calmness and patience but still to keep their job, everything they do is carefully done around her.

" Young Miss! Madam is asking for your present at dinner table for breakfast. You should get up already! The car from your in-laws will be here soon" She announces,removing the curtains from the window.
