Taken By The Mafia Lord

For over fifteen minutes, there was no sign of Clara coming out and just when everyone was about to conclude her disappearance, the door was opened and everyone turned in its direction.

However it wasn't Clara standing at the entrance, but her mother, Diana, instead, and that drew a shocked gasp from the crowd. What was going on? Where was Clara?

By now, everyone was already assuming what was going on, hence, it wasn't really surprising when Diana lifted a paper and announced that her daughter had given up on the wedding.

There was an instant uproar and Daniel stood to his feet, his eyes blazing with fire and he turned in the direction of Marcel who stood at the spot unaffected.

"What is going on?"

"Why did Clara suddenly call off the wedding?"

"Just as I thought, why would Clara give up on Luther just to marry this man from nowhere?"

Those conversations came from around him and Daniel heard it all. His hands instantly formed into a fist and he commanded his assistant,

"Quick, go and find out what is going on?"

"Yes, sir!" He bowed his head and took off instantly.

He then turned to glare at Marcel. This was not ordinary, Daniel knew that his son was somehow involved in whatever was going on. After all, he had always been against the marriage from the very start, and to think that he no longer has leverage over him except the girl - that Marcel must have hidden by now.

Daniel merely threatened Marcel and didn't make any more plans because he never thought his son would dare to go against his order. All he needed was leverage or a threat and Marcel obeyed his will like an obedient sheep. But that clearly wasn't the case anymore, and he needed this incident to see it.

He should have kept an eye on him yesterday, however, Daniel was not discouraged. The only reason he made no plans nor try to thwart his son's effort of hiding the girl was because he was confident that he could find her.

Unlike his son who let petty emotions get in the way of his plans, he, Daniel, would employ any means possible to track down the girl wherever he was hiding her. Marcel just did him a huge favor anyway because he loved the thrill of the chase anyway.

Marcel choose war and he was not the type to go back on his words. Just as Daniel promised Marcel, he would make sure the girl doesn't survive today. His son wanted bloodshed, he would get one.

"This wedding is over, you can leave," Diana announced to the guests present and the murmuring only increased.

However, Daniel stepped out, saying, "This wedding is over, says who?"

That was not going to happen. Marcel was left standing at the altar, their family would suffer the embarrassment while the Alberta's would be criticized. Moreover, his plans couldn't be over just like that.

"Says me, the groom, who was abandoned at the altar. My bride decided to run off and I would rather die than continue with the wedding. If you're so eager to watch this wedding happen, you can track down Clara and marry her instead. I'm sure she wouldn't mind considering the both of you are besties," Marcel said in front of the guest, taking off his suit jacket and tossing it away.

Victor followed after him like a dutiful dog, and when they were about to pass Daniel, the man placed his hand on Marcel's shoulder, stopping him. Yes, their communication looked normal, but only Marcel could tell the amount of pressure his father was applying on his shoulder and he almost destroyed his bone.

He leaned closer so it looked like father and son were exchanging secrets, but the look in Daniel's eyes was murderous,

"The moment you leave this room, you've declared your stand and it's war. Trust me, you don't want to start a war with me, Marcel." He warned him.

However, Marcel said smugly,

"You keep on forgetting something here, father," He came closer as well so they were staring each other in the eyes as he reminded him, "I took the position as the Don from you, you didn't give it to me. So why else wouldn't I be able to defeat you in a war?"

The smile vanished from Daniel's face and he was about to react when his phone vibrated in his pocket and he wasn't the only person. It was multiple messages and every member of the Luciano family reached for their phones immediately.

Daniel came to discover that there was a family meeting and his gaze narrowed instantly. What was Marcel planning by calling a meeting? However, the moment he lifted his head, Marcel was nowhere to be seen and had left already. Daniel couldn't even go after him thanks to the crowd and commotion.

His assistant returned to his side, announcing, "Clara is nowhere to be soon."

Yes, he knew that, Daniel didn't say anything. Marcel took her away for whatever he had in mind. His son thought he had won, but he was wrong; this was not the end. Fine, he would see what Marcel planned to do at the meeting. But that doesn't mean that he had given up on his plan, it would merely delay it. He couldn't hurt his son, Marcel, so Arianna would have to bear the brunt of his anger.

Meanwhile…

Clara woke up with a groan and tried to move, only to find out that she was tied to a chair and her eyes widened instantly. What the hell was going on here? Real fear comprehended her when the memories of Marcel's men taking her away resurfaced. Why was Marcel doing this? She didn't even do anything wrong.

The door opened and Marcel stepped out while Clara glared at him with hatred. Whatever feelings she had for him vanished after he kidnapped her. Her wedding must have canceled by now with how long she had slept. She would not forgive him for this.

"You're awake," Marcel announced as he picked the chair beside her and sat down. He said, "Let's begin then, shall we?"
