Captured by the Mafia King
PROLOGUE
Garret Azazel Esquival
Where is she?
The voice echoed through the room, sending chills down the spines of the men behind him. Authority was evident in the way he asked, and they knew he wouldn’t like it if they gave the wrong answer.
A tense silence fell over the two men as they exchanged nervous glances, each unsure who would be brave enough to answer the question posed by the man in front of them, who was busy punching a bag. He was looking for a woman—the one who had captivated him that night.
Someone
“Boss, she’s not on the guest list of guests who were invited to the party.” *voice trembling*
Their boss delivered another powerful punch to the punching bag in front of him. He struck it even harder than before, the rope nearly giving way from the force of his furious blows.
Garret Azazel Esquival
“I’ll give you three more fucking days to find her. If you don’t, you’ll be next in here!”
His voice was cold and impatient as he began removing the bandages from his hands, stained with blood that didn’t belong to him.
A man opened the punching bag, causing it to fall—a person who was nearly on the brink of death from the horrific ordeal.
The boss stormed out of the gym and headed to his private quarters to clean himself up, letting cold water wash over his body.
He was frustrated, yet excited to meet the woman he had seen the night before. The entire time, he had been staring at her, wanting to claim her and make her his own.
He is Garret Azazel Esquival, the owner of Esquival Stone Company, the largest domestic online shopping company. He also owns various businesses, including hotels, resorts, casinos, malls, airlines, and many more.
At the age of twenty-nine, he has already proven himself in the business world. His own father helped and taught him how to manage a company and run different businesses.
But behind his reputation as a successful businessman, he is also known as a mafia boss.
He rules the underground world where illegal activities take place.
No one dares to challenge him because he is infamous for being a heartless man, willing to kill anyone who dares to cross him.
But the man known as heartless was captivated by a woman he had seen only that night. In that moment, he felt ready to give up everything he had worked for, to focus on something beyond work, and, most importantly, he was ready to fall in love.
But he did not expect what he would discover in his search.
What if he finds out that the person he thought he would give his true love to is actually a man?
And the person he wants to claim is…

Blake Ashley Villarubia Permejo Esquival
"This is the first and last time I'm ever wearing this damn dress!"
I had never felt uncomfortable in my entire life. I could feel the dress hugging tightly to my body. Every part of me screamed that I wasn't supposed to be wearing this.
Ezra Seraphina Sakurada
"You know Blake, you've been cursing nonstop this whole time. Could you please shut up? I can't put these fake eyelashes on you if you keep moving." *snapped at him*
Blake Ashley Villarubia Permejo Esquival
"Fuck!"
I muttered one last time before shutting my mouth.
Blake Ashley Villarubia Permejo Esquival
💭 I want this to be over!
The last thing she fixed on me was a shoulder-length wig. She curled it, making it look even more bouncy.
Ezra Seraphina Sakurada
*stepped back and smiled*
Ezra Seraphina Sakurada
"Done!" *proudly said*
Ezra Seraphina Sakurada
"Wow, Blake! You look elegant and gorgeous!" *praised him*
I got up and dragged myself over to the mirror, and she finally let me see what she'd done. I stared at the reflection, both amazed and horrified. I looked... actually, I looked like someone else entirely. The makeup, the wig, the dress—Ezra had completely transformed me.
I was wearing a knee-length red dress. I didn't need fake breasts because the ruffles on the chest gave the appearance of a flat chest. The fabric was flowy and silky, making it comfortable to wear.

Ezra Seraphina Sakurada
"Honestly, even with light makeup, I managed to hide the fact that you're a guy. You've got those good looks." *put away the makeup she'd used*
Ezra was a professional makeup artist. She had many clients who were famous and respected in the industry, so I wasn't surprised at how she'd managed to make me look like a woman.
I groaned, pulling my gaze away from the mirror.
Blake Ashley Villarubia Permejo Esquival
"Should I be thanking you for that or cursing you?"
She just laughed before holding out the sandals I was supposed to wear—they had thin, high heels.
Ezra Seraphina Sakurada
"Put these on."
Blake Ashley Villarubia Permejo Esquival
*eyes widened in shock*
Blake Ashley Villarubia Permejo Esquival
"I don't know how to wear those! I might even end up hitting your sibling on the head with them."
She sighed and picked up a pair with a lower heel than the first.
Ezra Seraphina Sakurada
"If you don't want stilettos, how about these pumps?"
Blake Ashley Villarubia Permejo Esquival
"Aren't there any without heels?" *grumbled at her in annoyance*
Ezra Seraphina Sakurada
"Why don't you just wear sneakers instead! You're complaining nonstop—just put them on so we can finish this already."
I had no choice but to take what she handed me. I also grabbed the handbag I'd be using. Everything I was wearing belonged to her.
We walked down to the living room, where I saw those two idiots busy staring at their phones. When we got closer, they finally looked up at me. Their eyes traveled from my feet up to my face, and I could see the shock on their faces.
Eiji Lucian Sakurada
"Woah! I told you—total Barbie!"
Eiji said as soon as he saw me.
Without a second thought, I threw the handbag at him, which he caught while laughing.
Ezra and Eiji are siblings. They're half-Japanese because their dad is Japanese and their mom is Filipino. There's only a one-year age gap between them, so Eiji never calls Ezra "older sister"—he says they look like they're the same age.
Claude Sebastian Hestia
"Blake, is there anything else to fix about your look? You look like Barbie, but you're walking like Ken."
Claude commented, one of our friends.
Blake Ashley Villarubia Permejo Esquival
"Why don't you do this instead?" *irritably replied before sitting down*
Eiji Lucian Sakurada
"You look so pretty, but you sit with your legs spread wide like a brute." *teased again*
I held myself back from throwing my heels at him—after all, I'd be the one struggling to wear them if I did. I calmed down and ignored them, just picking up my phone to check the time.

"So, what's the plan?" *glancing at Eiji*
Eiji's face turned serious as he handed me a sleek black keycard.
Eiji Lucian Sakurada
"The party starts exactly at eight. As I said before, you won't be able to get into the hotel if you're not invited to the party. All exits and entrances are closed, so you'll have to pretend to be someone else. You're going in as Ms. Arina Ayana."
Ezra Seraphina Sakurada
"I'll take care of Ms. Arina while you're busy inside. She was one of my clients during an international shoot, so I'll handle her. Of course, once I'm done, Claude will be the one to flirt with her. That's the only help Claude can give us."
She said, glancing at Claude who was already grinning.
Claude Sebastian Hestia
"Well, do you want me to take her home to my condo instead so there won't be any problems at all?"
He joked in reply, which earned him a flick on the forehead from Ezra.
Eiji Lucian Sakurada
"Once you're at the party, keep a low profile for the first five minutes while I hack the CCTV. As soon as you enter the function hall, start your timer. When you've been there for five minutes, go out and head to the restroom. There will be a staff room visible right away that will be empty at that time. Go inside, then find the door that leads to a passageway going to the service lift. Take the lift to the 16th floor."
I nodded along to what he was telling me. I can't afford to make a mistake in what we're about to do.
Eiji Lucian Sakurada
"Room 1605."
Eiji Lucian Sakurada
"That's Kuya Kaede's room. Find the black flash drive—I'm sure it's in his room. Remember, you only have ten minutes. That's all the time I can guarantee before they notice anything's wrong with the security system."
I took a deep breath, trying to stay calm.
Blake Ashley Villarubia Permejo Esquival
"Why can't it be Claude instead?"
Claude Sebastian Hestia
"I can't go because I'm in charge of charming Ayana. You wouldn't know how to flirt anyway—you don't have a single romantic bone in your body."
Claude replied proudly about his role.
Ezra Seraphina Sakurada
*rolled her eyes*
Ezra Seraphina Sakurada
"You have no choice, Blake. Eiji and I will be there too, so we can't help you. Remember what you need to do because we—I mean you guys—will be in big trouble once Kuya Kaede shows those files to your parents. You're so good at going to casinos, but it turns out you don't even know how to gamble properly."
She reminded us, her words part reminder and part lecture.
We only tried going to the casino because we thought it would be easy. Shit! We lost a serious amount of money, and our mistake was using our parents' money. Kuya Kaede found out but hasn't told our parents yet because he wants to confront them personally. Also, he knows that Eiji can hack the bank system so no one will find out we used the money at a casino.
Because they own the casino, Kuya Kaede found out easily, and it was easier for Eiji to hack into the system too. But his older brother is just naturally smarter than him.
And that's why I agreed to their plan. I knew my mom would be furious again, and she might just send me off to another country for good this time. I'm already on my last warning.
