“What about you?” Mimi asked him, worried. She had to be told about Richardo so she would be conscious of security. What was the use of keeping the secret and endangering her life instead?
“Don’t worry about me, the Draven family will take care of me. Richardo has no influence here.” Victor lied through his teeth, but he didn’t want Mimi worrying over unnecessary things.
“Samuel is here to take you, he’s right outside the hospital and would take you home.” He informed her.
“Sure, I’ll be leaving then.” And though she said it, Mimi still held on to him.
Then without warning, she smashed her lips down on his, kissing him with fervor, and by the time Mimi was done, Victor found his brain reeling. That was just hot!
When they broke away from the kiss, Victor was looking at her with great affection in his eyes.
“I love you, Mimi Davis,” He said, still eyeing her lips.
She tugged his hair from his face, smiling brightly, “I love you too, Victor Luciano.”
As much as she wanted to stay, Mimi knew that this was her cue to leave. She couldn’t leave Samuel waiting outside and Victor was right, it would be much more dangerous to leave by night. However, as soon as Mimi was out the door, she felt something was wrong.
“Is anything wrong, gentlemen?” Mimi asked one of the guards who had now come to stand in front of her.
Usually, the guards would try to be friendly to her, but right now, they were not even smiling and looked at her like she was an enemy or something. It unsettled her and made her begin to reconsider leaving Victor with them. But then, Victor said he was in good hands, right? Mimi didn’t know what to do or believe.
Mimi turned one last time and the door was a fire-dated timber wood with a vision glass panel, which meant she could see Victor through it. As if sensing her gaze, Victor smiled and waved at her to leave. She tilted her head unsure, perhaps she was the one thinking too much?
Hence Mimi carefully walked past them and went her way. She should not worry too much, after all, Lukas would not stand still and watch anything happen to his cousin. Moreover, if Victor says he’s fine, then he’s fine. Mimi decided to trust him for once.
Victor was vigilant and as soon as he was sure that Mimi has left, he picked up his phone and called Lukas.
“I know consiglieres are eligible to be held hostage during negotiations however, this should have come with a warning. Not to mention that I have no means of protecting myself.” He spat into the phone as soon as his cousin picked up.
“I’m sorry,” Lukas answered, “No one saw it coming. Daniel lives up to his reputation and I was a fool to think he would stand still. I just thought…..” There was a momentary pause as he let out a deep sigh, “I thought he changed. Finally, perhaps, over the months, he gained a bit of humanity. But I was wrong. If anything, he only learned to be a better striker.”
Victor knew his cousin was barely restricting himself from going on a killing spree – he would take care of those involved in breaking off the treaty. Daniel can bring out the worst in people.
“What do I do?” Victor asked, eyeing the men outside. It was funny how the ones assigned to keep him safe, were now the ones keeping him from moving out of the room. The irony of life.
“Stay still. Don’t make any careless moves. I know Eric and he’s not going to touch a hair on your body, yet.”
“What are you going to do now?”
“I would see him..”
“What?!” Victor shouted, dumbfounded.
“Why would you meet him and not me or an emissary? You’re in a war, he’s going to kill you!” Victor told him.
But he said, “In that case, I have to dare death then.” Lukas made up his mind already.
Dead Or Alive
Mimi found Samuel waiting for her when she made it outside. She had been careful on her way, making sure she wasn’t being followed, nor were there any suspicious-looking people in the elevator with her. Perhaps Victor was worrying too much?
“Hi Samuel,” Mimi waved at him casually.
“Please, miss Mimi,” Samuel in question was being formal as he opened the car door for her to go in.
“It’s just Mimi.” She told him while climbing into the car.
Samuel didn’t say a word and Mimi knew instinctively that he was going to continue being formal with her. What’s with all the decorum and all, anyway? She was just Mimi. You know just a simple girl who happened to fall for a bad girl. Ugh, whatever.
With Samuel keeping silent, Mimi was nearly bored to death. However, her eyes caught her baby bump and it brought a smile to her lips. She was beginning to show and it was very annoying that this Richardo problem had to pop up in the month she and Victor planned to get married.
Mimi had dreamed of being a hot, sexy bride at her wedding, but life doesn’t always go the way you planned. Now, she was going to weigh tons of weight with a protruding stomach at her wedding. This was so unfair! And as much as she wanted to blame Victor for it, she knew it wasn’t entirely his fault.
In the future, her children were all going to know their mother had a shotgun wedding. Ugh, so annoying! But then, on the bright side, she was not going to be alone. Rhea was pregnant too! They were best friends for life and then their child would be born in the same year, isn’t it wonderful?!
Only if they weren’t related, Mimi was sure that she would have betrothed their kids if they were of the opposite sex. Unfortunately, the kids were going to be cousins, hence that idea was out the window. They just had to live together as one big family! It wasn’t that bad anyway.
…..
Perhaps, she could suggest to Lukas to build a huge villa where all of them could stay together. It would strengthen family bonds and oh, what a delight it would be! Mimi had a lot of crazy ideas on her mind.
“Your parents are together,” Samuel informed her out of nowhere.
“What?”
“Boss thinks that Richardo might come after you if he can’t get to Victor. However, he might also use your parents to get to you if you’re inaccessible. Sadly, when he has your parents, he has you and when Richardo has you, he has Victor. So staying together, for now, would do you guys much good. “
“Dear God,” Mimi groaned, “My mother is going to flip.”
As her father suggested to Victor at that time, her mother Hannah has no idea what’s going on or the kind of person her son-in-law is, but now the truth has to be let out of the cat. If it wasn’t out already.
Without a second thought, Mimi checked her phone only to see over thirty missed calls and an unverified number of messages from her mother. She had kept her phone on silent so as not to be distracted while with Victor. Well, it was obvious, her mother knows the truth. Today was going to be eventful, Mimi could feel it. No, she knew it. Who was she kidding? Hannah was going to rip her.
“How long is this expected to last?” Mimi referred to the correct crisis.
“How long is what -? Oh you mean, this situation? Until we can find Richardo and deal with him.”
“So my family and I are supposed to stay in hiding for as long as it takes?”
“It’s technically not hiding, but being under protection. However, we should be able to figure something out.” Samuel’s words did not assure her at all.
“But what about….” Mimi did not get to finish the rest of her words because Samuel without warning floored the car and Mimi was violently knocked to the side.
“Ouch!” She cried out, having hit her face forward in the process thanks to the sudden speed.
“I’m sorry but we are currently being followed right now.”
Hearing those words, Mimi’s eyes widened and she at once moved to the side and lowered the window, looking out. Just as Samuel said, there was a wicked-looking SUV chasing them openly and at that speed, would soon catch up to them.
