“Sold to the Mafia CEO

Chapter 2: Taken by Him (Edited Version)

I couldn’t breathe.

His words echoed in my head like a death sentence.

“From today on… you are mine.”

My heart slammed violently against my chest as I stumbled back, my entire body trembling.

“No…” I whispered. “This can’t be happening.”

This had to be a nightmare.

But the cold, merciless look in his eyes told me otherwise.

He wasn’t joking.

He wasn’t asking.

He was deciding.

“You don’t get to refuse,” he said calmly, as if he were discussing something completely ordinary.

My fists clenched at my sides.

“I’m not something you can buy!” I snapped, anger suddenly replacing my fear.

The room fell into silence.

The men around us froze, clearly shocked by my words.

But he…

He didn’t react the way I expected.

Instead, a faint, dangerous smile curved his lips.

“Everything has a price,” he said quietly.

His voice was soft… yet filled with power.

With control.

The kind that made it impossible to argue back.

“Not me,” I said stubbornly, even though my voice trembled.

He took a step closer.

Instinctively, I stepped back—

Until my back hit the cold wall behind me.

Trapped.

My breath caught as he leaned closer, his presence overwhelming… suffocating.

“Your father’s life says otherwise,” he murmured.

My heart stopped.

“W-what?”

He straightened, his expression turning cold once again.

“You have two choices,” he said.

“One…”

He raised a finger slowly.

“You refuse. And your father pays the price.”

My vision blurred instantly.

No…

“Two…”

His gaze locked onto mine, leaving no room for escape.

“You come with me. And his debt disappears.”

Tears filled my eyes before I could stop them.

This wasn’t a choice.

This was a trap.

A cruel, suffocating trap.

“You’re forcing me,” I whispered.

“No,” he corrected calmly.

“I’m offering you a solution.”

I hated him.

In that moment, I truly hated him.

But I hated myself even more… because I knew I had no choice.

My father…

He was all I had left.

I closed my eyes tightly, taking a shaky breath.

Then slowly…

I nodded.

“Good,” he said.

Just one word.

Cold. Final.

As if my fate had already been sealed.

Before I could say anything else, he turned away, as if the matter was already finished.

“Take her,” he ordered.

My eyes widened.

“Wait—what?”

Two men immediately stepped forward.

Panic shot through my body.

“No! I said I’ll go, I can walk—”

“I don’t repeat myself,” he said without even looking back.

And just like that…

My world changed.

Minutes later, I found myself outside, the cold night air hitting my face.

But it didn’t help.

Nothing could calm the storm inside me.

A black luxury car stood waiting—something I had only ever seen in movies.

One of the men opened the door.

“Get in.”

I hesitated.

My hands trembled.

If I got in…

There would be no turning back.

Ever.

“Move,” the man snapped impatiently.

I flinched… then slowly stepped inside.

The door closed behind me with a heavy, final sound.

Trapping me inside my new reality.

A few seconds later…

He entered.

Sitting right beside me.

The space instantly felt too small.

Too tight.

Too dangerous.

I shifted slightly, trying to create distance.

But it was useless.

His presence filled the entire car.

“Where are you taking me?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

He didn’t answer immediately.

Instead, he calmly adjusted his cuff, as if my question didn’t matter.

“Home,” he finally said.

A chill ran down my spine.

Home?

His home.

The car started moving.

And with every passing second…

I felt my old life slipping further and further away.

I turned my head slightly, stealing a glance at him.

His face was calm.

Too calm.

As if none of this mattered to him at all.

As if taking someone’s life… was just another business deal.

“Why me?” I asked suddenly.

This time, he looked at me.

Really looked at me.

And for a brief moment…

Something unreadable flashed in his eyes.

“Because you’re useful,” he said simply.

My chest tightened painfully.

Useful.

That’s all I was.

Not a person.

Not a human being.

Just… something he could use.

I looked away quickly, biting my lip to stop the tears.

I wouldn’t cry in front of him.

I refused to give him that satisfaction.

But deep inside…

I knew one thing for sure.

I had just stepped into a world I could never escape from.

And the man sitting beside me…

Was the most dangerous mistake of my life.
