Taken By The Mafia Lord

"Arianna?!" Mimi strode into the base, searching for her friend. It was strange, but she hasn't been able to get a hold of her all through the night and it was weird. Usually, Arianna was supposed to update her on yesterday's event, but there was nothing like that, and that added to her anxiety.

"Arianna?" She searched through her room and there was still no sign of her. Mimi didn't have the time to ask around but now that she thought about it, the soldiers around had been giving her strange looks when she arrived.

Mimi stopped short in her steps, her heart beginning to pound in her chest. Something was not right, she could feel it. The first thought that came to her mind was that Marcel had found out about Elijah and reacted badly. Did he hurt her? Did he sell her off again?

No, Mimi shook the ridiculous thought out of her head. No matter how mad Marcel was at Arianna, he would never sell her off again. He was too possessive anyway and wouldn't stand her being with another man.

What if he killed her mistakenly out of anger - Marcel does have a foul temper - and Arianna's ghost is hovering around her right now, but she's unable to see her? Sigh, Mimi had to shut down her hyperactive imagination. This was not funny. She needed to see her friend.

She already made up her mind to go confront Marcel and had reached the door, ready to knock on it when it opened by itself and she saw…

"Babe,"

"Victor?"

He told her that he was in an important meeting. Was the meeting being held in Marcel's room? In that case, Arianna should be a participant too since she wasn't in her room. Mimi stretched her head to peep into the room only for Victor to block her view to her surprise.

Mimi stood on her tiptoes this time to have a clear view only for Victor to block her once again with his taller height and she scowled at him. Why was he annoying her? She tried to push him out of the way and Victor locked the door instead.

"What is wrong with you? You're being so strange," Mimi complained, glaring at him. She loved him, yes, but he was infuriating her right now and her patience had a limit.

"I'm so happy to see you," He engulfed her in a hug instead, leaving no room for her to breathe.

Did he miss her that much? Mimi wondered as Victor distracted her with a hug and she didn't even know.

"Fine, I'm here now and not going anyway," Mimi breathed, trying to break out of the hug. He was literally smothering her. Yeah, the love was too much.

She went on, "However, I really need to see -"

Victor caught her off with a kiss that blew her mind off. And just like that, Mimi forgot all about the mission and instead wrapped her arm around his neck and returned the kiss patiently. Maybe, she did miss him as well.

Mimi hopped onto his body, wrapping her legs around his waist while Victor walked with her until his back hit the wall for support. And she deepened the kiss, tasting his lips without an ounce of shame or fear that Marcel could step out of there any minute.

For all she knows, Marcel could be busy inside there with Arianna and doing something productive, hehe. But then, Victor stepped out of there now…. Wait a minute….

Mimi suddenly stopped and Victor's lips chased after her but she turned her face the other way before getting down to her feet. She put enough space between them so she isn't tempted by his yummy luscious body. If anything, pregnancy only made her hornier.

"Mimi…" Victor stepped towards her but she put up her hand and stopped her.

"Tell me is Arianna inside there or not?"

"What? Mimi, what are you talking about?" He chuckled nervously.

But she wrapped her arms across her chest and gave him her bitchy look. Victor stood at the spot, helpless. He knew that look and if he didn't answer pretty soon, some pretty important benefits would be withdrawn soon.

No! She can't do that.

"Fine," He gave in, "Promise me that you wouldn't freak out."

"Freak out?" Mimi thought over it, "Why should I freak out?"

"Arianna is gone," Victor released the news and watched as she stiffened instantly.

A prominent frown made its way onto Mimi's face. She stared at Victor in confusion, "What do you mean by Arianna is gone? That word means a lot," Her heart raced in her chest as she thought of the worst-case scenario.

"She's no longer here, Mimi. Her mother took her."

Mimi blinked a few times, "What do you mean by she was taken by her mother? She was even sure that the woman was still alive - no, I need to see Marcel,"

"No -"

She already slipped past him and went into the room.

God, why did she have to be stubborn? Victor went after her else she provoked Marcel and caused another problem. Also, his cousin was not in the best of moods.

A lot of thoughts were running through Mimi's head as she went in to find Marcel. How could Arianna's mother find her? How did that happen?

When Mimi stepped inside, she saw Marcel was all geared up and was assembling a gun on the desk.

"Are you going to rescue her?" She assumed right away that it was the reason for his dressing up.

Marcel didn't even turn when he asked, "Rescue who?" He already sensed her the instant she stepped into his room. Moreover, he had been expecting her to come to find her friend all this while.

Mimi frowned, was she missing something here? And why does it feel like Marcel seems a lot different than before. He stood rigid and he sounded distant, colder.

"Arianna? Duh," She rolled her eyes, "You are not going to let that woman take her just like that, right?" Mimi was still saying when Marcel suddenly turned around and aimed the gun at her forehead.

And her soul flew out of her body.
