My father sold me to the Mafia King novel Chapter 170

Chapter 170: 170/The Desk Punishment

Chapter 170

Max’s Point of View

I approached Marcus with angry strides, and before he could process anything, I seized his throat with my massive hand, pinning him down with my body. "Do you want to know what happened, you bastard?" I growled through gritted teeth.

He pushed at me with trembling hands, gasping for air. "What’s wrong with you? Tell me what happened!" he said in shock.

I loosened my grip slightly and said sharply, "Do you remember what you did last night?"

"I don’t remember anything," he replied, shaking his head in despair.

"You got drunk last night and assaulted Julie," I told him, the truth slapping him in the face.

Marcus recoiled as if struck by lightning, leaning against the wall and staring at me with wide, disbelieving eyes. "What are you saying? You’re lying!" he rasped.

"You thought she was your damn lover," I said stolidly.

He began striking his head violently with both hands, shouting in a broken whisper, "Fuck... fuck... no!" Then he looked at me in shock and said, "Please tell me I didn’t do anything to her... that I didn’t hurt her!"

"If you had, you’d be dead by now," I said in a final tone.

He covered his face with his palms and let out a muffled sob. "I would never do this to Julie... never! I wasn’t in my right mind."

"You need to stay away from Julie, Marcus," I warned him sternly.

"I really didn’t mean it," he replied bitterly, going through what looked like a breakdown, unable to believe the ugliness of what had happened.

Seeing his state worsening, I tried to calm him down a bit. "Alright Marcus, nothing happened... calm down."

"Julie will never forgive me," he said hopelessly.

"She already has," I told him. "If she hadn’t, she wouldn’t have defended you just now."

"Really?" he asked eagerly.

"Yes," I replied coldly. "But I haven’t forgiven you."

He looked at me inquiringly. "Are you her boyfriend?"

"No, I’m her friend," I snapped.

"Then what’s the reason for this?" he asked, confused as he recalled what was said in front of Robert. "I mean... us being ’boyfriends’?"

"To save you," I said mockingly.

"Saving us by saying we’re boyfriends? What is this madness?" he shouted in disbelief.

I exhaled in frustration, remembering my own predicament with her. "She made me gay two days ago, and now she’s made you gay too... you’ll get used to Julie’s madness."

Robert’s Point of View

It was insane to learn that Marcus was gay and in a relationship with my guard, but I still didn’t understand why Julie was there.

She was walking barefoot, stumbling in her oversized black pajamas, which only increased my desire to wring the truth out of her.

"Are you going to tell me why you were there?" I asked stolidly.

"I already told you," she said, trying to keep up with my wide strides.

"Concerned for Marcus’s life!" I mocked.

"Yes," she said shortly.

I stopped suddenly to look into her eyes. "For God’s sake, Julie, do you think I’m a fool?"

We reached the hallway, and she stopped, saying with embarrassment, "I have to go to my room."

"No," I said sternly.

"Why?" she asked sharply.

"I haven’t finished my conversation yet... follow me," I said, gesturing for her to move.
