Filed to story: Bring It On My Mafia Life Novel (Rhea & Lukas)
“Crystal clear,” Was all Rhea said with an unsmiling face and reached for the door only for Luca to open it and help her in.
When she went in, Rhea expected to be alone, hence the smile vanished from her face when she saw Victor already comfortably seated and waiting for her. She couldn’t see him earlier because the windows were tinted.
…..
“Hello?” Victor waved at her cheerfully.
But Rhea scowled at him in response and sat down, facing the other side. She should have known Lukas would not have even a single chance for her to escape him, neither did she hide her current dislike for Victor.
If Victor thought he was going to win her over with that cute smile of his, then he better get used to disappointment. Mimi, that stupid friend of hers was just too gullible. She should have known; seen the signs; realized that Mimi easily fell for good-looking men. This was all her fault. All of this wouldn’t have happened in the first place had she not gotten entangled with Lukas.
Luca was the driver while the soldier occupied the front seat of the car and she had no doubt he had his weapon with him.
If she were to try to escape, would he shoot her? Did Lukas give him the order in such a situation or was it their training instinct? Does it mean she would have to seize his weapon first before fighting all three of them? Was Luca and Victor with weapons as well?
“Compared to me, Lukas is usually the best at reading people but right now even without trying hard, you look like a rabbit trapped in a corner,” Victor told her.
“Don’t talk to me,” Rhea warned him. The silent treatment she gave him earlier should have been enough sign that she doesn’t want to talk to him.
But Victor went on, ” Don’t carry out whatever it is that you have in mind. Before you think of escaping, you should know that I’m not Lukas and won’t hesitate to hurt you to put you in order. And I really wish you don’t do that because you would only jeopardize Mimi and her happiness seeing that she’s the only thing Lukas can use to threaten you. I don’t want to hurt her anymore like the first time.”
However, Rhea told him,” No, I should be the one saying that to you. Mimi and I have been perfectly fine until you and your cousin came along. If you two had let us alone, we would have been living a peaceful life right now. “
“Really?” Victor smirked, “You forget that Lukas is the reason that you escaped the Red Giant gang in the first place?”
“No,” Rhea disagreed with that, “If Lukas hadn’t been there, Elijah would have been there and we would be away from this country by now.”
“And Mimi would still be mine eventually,” Victor declared proudly, he was not giving up on this argument either, “I believe in Fate, Rhea. I believe Mimi and I were destined for each other, the same way you and Lukas keep going round and round,”
At that comment, Rhea threw her head back and laughed so hard that tears escaped her eyes. However, her expression changed to a stern look at the last minute as she asked him,” What bullshit are you vomiting this time?”
But Victor smirked,”You and Lukas, when are the both of you going to admit that you like each other?”
Rhea glared at him, “Don’t say such nonsense, because, unlike Mimi, I’m not stupid enough to fall for the trickeries the both of you cousins are capable of.” She made it clear to him.
Surely, it was lust that she felt for Lukas and that was it. Victor shouldn’t compare the sacred feeling of love to that. And the more time she spent with Lukas, the deeper the feelings would become. No wonder she has been feeling horny lately. It was because this was the first time she was spending so much time in a house saturated with testosterone.
“And you think Mimi is stupid?” Victor snorted derisively, “Actually, I think she’s smarter than you. Unlike you, she has no room for pretense and confusion and goes for what she wants.
You think Mimi’s brainwashed by me? Keep on with that personality and you might lose Lukas soon enough. After all, you never know what you have until you lose it.” And that was all he told her before he turned the other way and gave her total silence.
But then, Rhea was stubborn.
Why was he even telling her all of this?
Break Into Her House
They reached Mimi’s place, however, Rhea made no effort to get down. Earlier, she had been confident enough that she would walk right up to the door, apologize and they would make up right away. However, it was easier said than done.
Even though she has literally known Mimi for half her life, she couldn’t help but be nervous. This was the first time she and Mimi fought as badly as this one. Normally, they yelled at each other and made up immediately, but this was three days since their argument. They let the anger fester this long and it was beginning to bother her.
“Are you going to step out or should I be the first to go up there and keep her occupied for the rest of the day,” Victor said suggestively without shame.
“Eww,” Rhea expressed her disgust, and opened the door, climbing out of the car.
“Good luck out there,” Victor said to her knowing that Mimi would not make it easy for her.
“Whatever,” Rhea rolled her eyes and pulled on her cap, making sure it covered her face properly. She then walked across the lawn and stepped on the threshold, pressing the doorbell.
There was no response the first time and she had to press on the bell the second and the third until she heard movements and someone yelling, “Coming!”
At once, the door was opened.
Thank God.
…..
As soon as the door revealed an unkempt Mimi who seemed to have been busy with something, Rhea waved at her with a huge smile, “Hi?”
Mimi banged the door shut at her face.
Okay….?
Rhea was not going to lie, she saw that coming. The thing about Mimi was that she joked around and laughed a lot, but when she got angry, it was like the hot fury of a dragon and was difficult to calm down.
“Mimi, come on!” Rhea shouted, knowing that she was still probably standing right there and hearing her, ” I just want to talk and apologize for what I said to you!”
“Thank you but this whore doesn’t need your fucking apology!” She yelled back.
Okay, she did go too far by calling her a whore. But Rhea didn’t technically call her a whore, she only hinted that… Fine, she’s in the wrong.
“I’m really sorry, Mimi. I just uttered those words in a fit of anger! You are my best friend, Mimi” She tried to explain to her.
“Well, best friend or not, take your apology and shove it right up your ass!” Mimi retorted and left.
Rhea gasped, really, who was being mean right now?
However, she didn’t give up and continued to yell her name but when Rhea didn’t get a response for over five minutes, she gave up.
Well, not really give up.
Rhea simply sat at the entrance, determined to wait till she changed her mind. Mimi was very stubborn but she was tender-hearted and wouldn’t let her stay here for the rest of the day, right?
Sigh, she wasn’t sure.
Rhea brought up her knees to her chest and propped her chin on it and waited patiently. Hopefully, Mimi’s anger would expire when she sees her determination to apologize and make things right between them.
“How is it going?”
