Taken By The Mafia Lord

The expression on both Mimi and Victor's faces was so comical that it could have been converted into a meme if it had been captured on camera; both looked like shit had been thrown on their faces.

However, a sense of dread was quick to wash over Mimi knowing she would be on the receiving end of this feud if Victor chooses otherwise. Even at that, she didn't want Victor to get hurt.

"Shove that option of yours up your ass, I'm a man and would never chicken out of a challenge. So if beating me would satisfy your damaged ego, so be it," Victor said confidently, still managing to land an insult on him.

However, Draco's emotions were not stirred by his caustic words this time because he was sure of laughing in the end. Right now, Victor was all bark with no bite.

"Excellent choice then," Draco's eyes gleamed with excitement and a dark promise of pain.

"However, on one condition," Victor suddenly said, piquing his curiosity.

"What is it?" Draco asked curiously. No matter how smart Victor was, there was no escaping his revenge today. He would make sure of it.

Victor pointed at Mimi, "You would let her go, she can't watch me get my ass whipped,"

But Draco refused, "No, that can't happen. What's the fun of the whole thing if she's not here to see you get beaten," He pointed out.

"Exactly, what's the point," Mimi was in support of that to Victor's surprise.

But the truth was that Mimi just wanted to view the whole fight from close up so they don't do anything foul to Victor. Draco said it was going to be a few beating but the baton his men held said otherwise.

She hated the violence about to be displayed before her but what can she do? Someone had to be on the lookout for Victor and that had to be her since she was his "bestie" - she couldn't even cringe at that title in this critical situation.

However, Victor saw through her cover and stood his ground. He said to Draco sternly, "If you're not getting her out of here, you can forget about everything and you of all people should know you can't lay a hand on me without my permission,"

Draco's jaw flexed, knowing he was right. He had to get Victor to agree to the deal else a move on him would be seen as a threat on the Luciano family and he'd have to contend with Marcel, if not the whole of Luciano. Draco was sure he would lose if that were to happen.

"Fine," He grudgingly gave in, his jaw clenched hard. This wouldn't be as fun as he wanted it to be, nonetheless, half bread was better than none. Victor was his to deal with tonight.

"Hey!" He gestured to one of his men who didn't need instruction and commenced into action.

Mimi was dumbfounded when the man came close to her and began to work on the binds, everything was going faster than she could comprehend.

"No, no, no," She began to panic as the ropes loosened around her, and in no time she was free.

Mimi was quick on her feet and before the man could get a grasp of her, she pushed him away and rushed towards Victor.

"Are you crazy?!" When Mimi reached him, she shook him hard as if that would bring him to his senses, "You want me out of here?! What if something bad happens to you?!" Mimi yelled at his face worriedly.

Victor turned to her with a cold, apathetic face, "Why do you care?"

"Huh?"

"We agreed not to get involved in each other's lives, so why are you trying to be such a busybody this time? Or do you just like being Miss. goody shoes that much?" Victor sneered.

Mimi froze at that statement, her face falling at once. Why does Victor sound sarcastic? That was when it dawned on her that he was intentionally pushing her away by trying to be mean.

"I see what you're doing, Victor, but that's not going to work. You claim that I'm a goody-two-shoes, what about you then? You knew the danger you were getting yourself into by coming yet here you are. You even met the time limit Draco gave you, is that you caring for me, or do you have a hero complex?" Mimi said to him and was not afraid to meet his eyes.

"Answer me, Victor!" She demanded, poking him on the chest.

Surprisingly, the man that was supposed to take her away and the others - including Draco - stood at the spot watching the drama between them interestingly.

But Victor only stared hard at her; neither did she falter under his gaze. When Mimi was unable to get an answer from him, she sighed, "I guess we both are hypocrites after all,"

She took a step and tugged his hands, " So please, just let me -"

Victor turned to the man, "Take her out of here, or do you need me to remind you how to do your duty?"

"No, you don't!" Mimi shouted and ran around Victor, trying to use his body as a shield against him.

But to her greatest surprise, Victor was the one who grabbed and handed her to the man who didn't waste them and carried her over his shoulder.

Victor just broke her heart.

Why this position all the time though?

"You Jerk! Let me down!" Mimi screamed in anger as the man started to leave.

She looked over her shoulder to see the evil grin on Draco's face while handing a baton to Victor to use to defend himself against his many men. Even at that, Victor was still outnumbered.

"That evil asshole!" Mimi raged and it was frustrating that she couldn't find her feet on the ground because she was poised in the air.

She then looked down and discovered that her captor had a bald head. How convenient!

"Let me down this instant!" Mimi screamed as she slapped the man hard on his bald head, not once, not twice, but continuously like his head was a drum.
