Victor let out a pained groan, swallowing air into his lungs. The asshole didn’t have much power in his punch but it still hurt nonetheless.
Draco pulled his hair back, lifting his face saying, “You feel that pain? That was how it felt when you fucked me up,”
But Victor only laughed mockingly, “I wish I could hear the sound of your heart, that way I would hurt you much deeper,”
“Bastard!” Draco fired up, landing another punch in that same spot. He might not have real power in his fist but he sure knew how to deliver them.
This time Mimi didn’t cry nor scream for Victor’s release, she was just silent – deadly silent like a tiger waiting to pounce on its prey.
Draco thinking and mistaking her quietness as submission or resignation confirmed his words. He released Victor after the fifth punch.
“I’m a man of my words,” He proudly announced to her, pushing his hair wet from sweat back while exhaling as if he did hard labor. He then nonchalantly signaled his men to let her go.
And that was a huge mistake.
She waited just a second.
After that, no one saw her coming because they never thought she would retaliate after she was released. What could a woman do anyway? They must think.
Mimi showed that to them.
As fast as the howling wind, she came barreling towards Draco like a raging bull – even Usain Bolt would have been proud of the record-breaker Mimi made in that Sprint.
Mimi speared Draco to the ground and everyone watched in wonder as if this was a wrestling match – only there was no referee or a countdown.
How was that even possible?
Dumbfounded by her move, they stared like morons as Mimi dealt with Draco and they couldn’t come to a timely rescue.
“How dare you!” Mimi screamed hard into his face as she had finally lost her mind while Draco only cried out in pain.
“You don’t…. ” She punched him in the face, “dare…. ” Another punch, “Touch….” A punch again, “What’s mine!” She landed the final blow.
“Aah!” Draco could only cry out in pain, unable to comprehend what was going on. One moment he was relishing his victory and the next minute, he was tackled to the ground and beaten by a woman. A woman?!
His cries finally roused his men and they sprung into action immediately, separating the both of them.
As soon as they were apart, Draco finally understood the kind of humiliation he was subjected to – everyone saw him get beaten.
“You!” He tried to lunge at Mimi but his underlings were active this time and stopped him. They knew once their boss laid a hand on Mimi, they were as good as dead – he had no choice but to swallow it up.
“You bitch!” Draco screamed, sporting a black eye as his men began to drag him away. Showtime was over.
While Victor sat on the floor there, laughing his ass out. He had seen everything.
Of course, Mimi deserved the position of his bestie, after all, birds of the same feather flock together.
Make Me Yours
What has she done? Mimi questioned herself at the last minute after her furious anger subsided. Her hands wouldn’t stop shaking and she had to clasp them together while her chest heaved with emotion.
Did she just beat up a man? Not to mention one related to the Mafia.
“Oh my God!” Mimi cried out, her hands on her head. What has she gotten herself into? What if Draco comes back for revenge and targets her family if he can’t get to her. God, she was doomed! Mimi loved her parents too much to lose them.
Her mind then drifted over to one person, the only one who could readily give her the protection she needed with ease and she turned with relief mixed with anticipation – only to find her intended savior laughing.
Mimi was dumbfounded, what was going on? She was petrified by the situation and he was smiling?
She was offended.
“Gosh, you should have seen his – ouch!”Cried out Victor who still wasn’t done laughing. However, he couldn’t finish the next trail of laughter because he felt a jab on his stomach and he yelped at once.
He looked up to meet those honey-brown eyes currently seething with irritation. Errh, it seems he overdid it this time.
“How can you hit a patient?” Victor complained dramatically “What if you broke something?” He joked, only to realize his bestie wasn’t in the mood and his grin vanished at once.
…..
“Come on, we have to go now, what if he comes after my family?” She urged him to his feet but that failed miserably because Victor would not move a muscle.
“That’s not going to happen,” Victor said, trying to assure her upon realizing how serious she was about the matter.
Vexed with his stubbornness, she squatted down in front of him, “How can you be so sure?” Mimi highly doubted that. She saw the look in Draco’s eyes before he was pulled away. Those furious blank orbs promised vengeance.
“Because the moment he touches a hair on you or your parents, I’ll massacre everyone and everything he cares about,”
A shiver climbed down Mimi’s spine, the intensity she saw in Victor’s eyes told her he was not joking at all. He would surely make true of his words and she had seen firsthand the destruction he was capable of.
His gray eyes no longer glinted with that lingering mischief, rather it was cold, ferocious, and sizzled with the attraction, no, scratch that, the tension between them. What fucking attraction?! They promised to stay the fuck out of each other’s life hours ago.
Thanks to that comment, Mimi’s lips parted unconsciously, and she found herself asking, “Why would you do that? Why would you endanger your life for someone you kicked out of your life hours ago? Why are you doing all of this?”
He smiled darkly, “What about you? Did you have a reason for fighting Draco for me?” Victor asked, without taking his eyes off her.
His gaze was so transfixed on her as if she was the only thing he could see right now and that made her one hell of uncomfortable. Victor was a very attractive man and when he looked at you as if you were the best thing that happened to him, it was smoldering and sent heat to her core – a reaction she least expected.
She shook her head, “That was different?”
“How different?” He was not giving up on this issue anytime soon and why was she even shy? She should answer him boldly and be done with him.
So she looked straight into his eyes – a big mistake – and tried not to relish her hot he looks right now, exuding his masculine dominance – even though he was covered in dirt and bruises.
Something must be wrong with her head.
Mimi took a deep breath, “I was simply angry and fought without my senses. But don’t worry, it won’t happen again, and we should be done with this conversation.” she wanted to end it already.
But Victor had a different idea, “Really?” he went on. Apparently, this was not the end for him and he needed more answers.
