Taken By The Mafia Lord

673 Dine With The Vultures – Holy mother of God, what the hell was going on here?

“Marcel....” Mimi swallowed uneasily, trying to get through to him but his memorizing yet lethal and cold grey eyes made her lift her hand in surrender

Mimi didn’t know what was going on or what she just stepped into, but one thing was for certain, she was not ready to die yet, especially not in her best friend’s boyfriend’s hands.

“Marcel!” Victor stepped into the room, horrified at the scene of his cousin pointing a gun at his woman.

“What are you doing?” He asked cautiously as he was left at a crossroads. Victor didn’t know why Marcel was doing this other than the fact that he was hurting from his breakup with Arianna.

However, how was that related to Mimi? It wasn’t like she was the one who suggested he call off things between the both of them. It was his decision. Victor knew that he was not going to let him hurt Mimi, boss or not. She was carrying his unborn child and this madness had to end now.

“You knew about Elijah, didn’t you?” Marcel asked her, not minding the warning look from his consigliere and cousin Victor who was poised to attack him if he dared to harm his woman.

Where was his loyalty? To him or the lady? Marcel didn’t need to guess it. What a big fool. Well, he was once a fool just like him too until his eyes were opened and he found out that it wasn’t worth it.

Mimi’s mouth opened and closed helplessly. Of course, Marcel found out the truth.

.....

“It wasn’t my secret to tell,” Was all Mimi said.

“Marcel,” Victor’s warning voice came again, and finally, he lowered his weapon.

Mimi let out the breath that she had been holding in, that was crazy. She had warned Arianna, now see how that turned out.

Immediately, Victor pulled Mimi to his side protectively while glaring at Marcel. His stupid cousin crossed a line this time and he was not forgiving him easily. How dare he point a gun at Mimi?!

“If you want to die so badly, go get hit by a car and let the innocents be.” Victor sneered at his face before he turned and grabbed Mimi’s hand, pulling her along.

Marcel shouted after him, “Don’t waste my time, Victor, we have to go dine with the vultures.”

Victor in question gave him the middle finger in response before he finally left through the door with Mimi close to him.

“What does he mean by that?” Mimi asked him while they walked. Since being with the likes of them, she knew better than to ignore even the subtlest of details.

“There’s a family meeting,” He said, finally stopping halfway and turning to face her fully.

“It has to do with Arianna, right?” Mimi was suddenly nervous. Everything was too confusing and happening too quickly she hadn’t been able to wrap her head around it.

“I’m not going to lie, it’s about to get dirty. Arianna had done more harm than good by withholding such important information. Had she told Marcel on time, he would have gotten everything in control. But now...” Victor took in a deep breath, “It is critical. The vultures veering for his position know this is the right time to strike. Aside from that, we might have a war on our hands.”

“A war?” Her eyes grew wide to the size of saucers, “What war? What is going on, Victor?”

“Elijah took the lives of our men. He’s not going scot-free for that. Marcel thinks the elders are going to ask for vengeance and if he doesn’t grant that -”

“He might have to give up his position as the boss,” Mimi figured it out.

“Even at that, it still doesn’t erase the fact that Elijah would have to answer for his crimes.”

“And if he doesn’t?”

“Then we have a war on our hands,” Victor then took her face in his palm, saying, “That is why I want you to stay safe. I don’t want you coming to the base at the moment and exposing yourself to danger. Once I’m back, we’d meet my mother and tell her the good news. She would have your back as well in case something happens.”

But Mimi shook her head,” I don’t like your tone. If I can’t come to the base to see you, how are we going to meet?”

He grinned at her, “Just leave your door open,”

Mimi grinned back at him, he hasn’t changed at all. However, her laughter didn’t last for long because she suddenly remembered, “Arianna? What are we going to do about her?”

“Honestly, I don’t know, Mimi.”

“Maybe I can find her,” Her eyes shone, “Arianna can’t resist me and I’m sure her mother wouldn’t mind an old friend whenever she is at the moment.”

“No!” Victor refused.

“No?” Mimi couldn’t understand him

“We don’t know anything about that woman. I don’t know her motive at all and until I figure it out, I don’t want you sniffing around, okay?”

Mimi pouted, “But -”

“Promise me, Mimi,” He said firmly. There was no room for negotiation.

“Fine, I promise,” Mimi said reluctantly.

“Good girl,” Victor smiled at her, running his hand down her head. However, he was quick to forget that Mimi does whatever she wants, especially if it was for a right cause, promises like that don’t weigh her down then.

He glanced down at her stomach, the smile widening as he asked, “How’s my other baby doing today?” Victor rubbed his hand up and down her slightly flat stomach in fascination.

“I think the baby’s much better now daddy’s here,” Mimi answered, looking at him happily.

Victor looked at her, “Have I ever told you that I love you?”

Mimi gasped dramatically, “I think that’s a first,”

With a chuckle, Victor pulled her closer by the waist and tasted her lips once more. She tasted so sweet. Mimi made him a happy man and he would have upped his game had his phone not rang at that exact moment.

Victor cursed out, that miserable bastard had the worst timing!

It was Marcel
