My Second Marriage with the Mafia Kingpin novel Chapter 193

Chapter 193: Good Sirs

"Do you all want to live through tonight?"

Silence fell on them as the group stared at Ashley, and she looked back at them with an otherwise curious look.

Truly a strange turn of events.

How could their own hostage, who had been their captive minutes ago, turn out to be asking her abductors whether they wanted to live tonight?

"What the hell are you talking..." Nelek trailed off when Khan breathed out,

"What... do we do?"

"Khan, what the hell are you talking about? You seriously believe this woman?" Warriyo snapped, controlling himself from saying harsher words. "What do you think this woman will do, huh?"

Ashley glanced at the window and stretched her neck to check if they’d been found.

"Maybe there’s a way..." the third one, who was holding their bags, blurted out. "Let’s call Dominion."

With that, Nelek and Warriyo turned to their colleague. They were already surrounded, and half of their feet were already in the grave. At this point, their chances of surviving were slim.

But...

Slowly, they turned to Ashley, whose attention was elsewhere.

"Let’s take her with us," Nelek uttered under his breath, and the rest nodded except the injured Khan.

They could still use Ashley — use her as leverage with Dominion. They didn’t need money. All they needed right now was Dominion’s protection in exchange for her life.

But just as the thought formed in their heads, Ashley spoke.

"Don’t just call Dominion — go straight to them." Her remark made them furrow their brows.

Ashley snapped her eyes to them. "You don’t have to trust me. All you need is to decide whether you want to live or die."

"What?"

"Dominion will kill you on sight, but if you have leverage, they won’t shoot you so easily," she said, scanning their faces. "I’m not as effective a leverage as you probably thought. Don’t underestimate Dominion that much."

Confusion etched on their faces at her ridiculous nonsense. Then Khan breathed out,

"What do we do then?"

"Khan! What the hell?!"

"We don’t have time!" Khan winced as he raised his voice, feeling his own blood squirt from his bandage. "We already offended Dominion. Whatever we do, they’re going to get us."

There was no escape for them in here.

"Exactly! That’s why we can’t listen to her!" Nelek argued.

"You can argue all night, but I’m afraid we don’t have time," Ashley jerked her chin at the window. "They’re going to find this place soon, and once they do, it’s over... for all of you. Not for me, though."

This time, the trio almost choked while Khan’s complexion paled even more. Ashley studied the injured man from head to toe before saying,

"I’ll buy you guys some time." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Hearing that, the four of them looked up at her. A mix of emotions swirled in their eyes.

This was by far the strangest thing they had ever encountered. Just moments ago, Ashley was their captive. But now, she was acting as though they had been together for years.

"Hand me a tracker," she said as she opened her palm, wiggling her fingers. "Once you reach Dominion, use the tracker as leverage. Just be sure to contact them as soon as possible. Otherwise, you’d be dead even before you open your mouths."

The guy carrying their stuff looked at the other three. Khan studied Ashley and remembered how quick her instincts were in the restroom. Had he used a different weapon and not a syringe with a potent sedative, Khan was certain they would have failed miserably.

Khan nodded, earning protests from the others.

"What the hell?! How could you just agree with her —"

"Do you have a better idea?" Khan forced the words out of his mouth. No one answered, because they knew deep in their hearts that their ideas would only buy them a few minutes.

Even if they escaped this place, Dominion would still be after them. It would be an endless pursuit.

"Just give it to her," Khan urged under his breath. "Let’s go with her plan."

The trio looked at the injured Khan before shifting their eyes to Ashley.
