Taken By The Mafia Lord

241 Just As She Thought

This must be a trick, Mimi thought. Draco must have been quite hurt by her actions that he thought the best form of revenge was getting close to her and betraying her in the end when she least expects it.

Mimi was not a kid, she had seen tricks like this all of the time. Back in high school, she had many admirers, and one of the boys she rejected his advances was a sore loser and tried to get back at her that way.

But Mimi stood her ground and learned from the others later that the boy had made a bet with his friends to make her fall for him. His plans failed obviously, Mimi was not gullible.

Hence she saw the same thing happening with Draco now. Feeling humiliated from their last encounter, he must have made a deal with his gang members to deceive her. Whatever evil plans he had in store, she was not going to be a victim of it.

“Well, you don’t need to apologize,” Mimi laughed sheepishly, “I’m good and everything is in the past now. Goodbye! ” She tried to shut the door on him but he was quick to put his hand in the way.

Damn it, she should have been faster.

This time Draco stepped in with his full body, looming over her, and Mimi couldn’t help but gulp, taking a step back. She was done! He was here to kill her, Mimi could tell from his body language. So this was how she was going to die? She could not even get to say goodbye to her mother.

Mimi instinctively squeezed her eyes shut when he reached behind his back and she guessed he was about to whip out his gun and shoot. She didn’t want to watch her death! But when nothing happened for over a minute, she frowned.

“What are you doing?” Draco had a deep, bass, rumbling voice with an accent. It woke her from her reverie.

.....

Mimi opened her mouth at once only to see a bouquet of large, showy, and white-colored Tulips in her face. She was full of shock, what is going on here? Things were moving too fast for her to comprehend.

“I did a lot of research and they said this is the right flower to say sorry as it represents forgiveness and peace.” He handed it to her.

Mimi was overwhelmed but she didn’t hesitate to accept his flowers. She didn’t know what game Draco was playing but she didn’t want to be murdered over her refusal to accept his flowers. This is so annoying, why is her life so messed up these days?

Draco began, “I’m truly sorry, we didn’t have a great start and my mama never taught me to treat a lady that way either. But then, Victor f*cked with me, and I just thought that would be the right time to hit him where it hurts the most,” Was his excuse.

“Yeah,” Mimi murmured under her breath, stroking the flower absent-mindedly, “You’re not the only one he f*cked up recently?”

And Draco did hear that because he asked in the next minute, “Did the both of you break up?”

Mimi glanced up at once, eyes wide, “Of course, not!” She was quick to reject his claim, “We never even dated in the first place, just...” Mimi froze at once when she realized what she had just done.

The reason why Draco had not harmed her on that day was that he thought the both of them were a thing and she was very precious to Victor. But now? She just undermined her importance to him. Who knew what Draco was thinking now he knew she wasn’t as valuable to Victor as he thought.

“You both were not a couple, “He snorted with laughter,” I thought you were merely trying to protect him that day when you said so?”

Protect him, her butt! Between her and Victor, who needed protection the most? Of course, her!

“In that case, you both must be quite close for him to have walked into danger for you that day. What are the both of you then? Friends with benefits?”

“What?!” Mimi went red in the face, “It’s nothing like that!” She was quick to defend herself. Although they kissed once – and a little dry-humping there- that didn’t classify their relationship as one.

“Chill,” Draco chuckled at her red face. It was quite cute to look at.

Mimi calmed down but she didn’t stop glaring at him. How could he think of that? Can’t a man and woman just be close friends? And when did she even begin to feel comfortable with him? This was a man she thought would kill her minutes ago.

“What are you doing tomorrow night?”

“Huh?” That question came out of nowhere, Mimi was stunned.

“Are you free tomorrow night? I want to apologize properly over dinner?” He said, placing his hand on the door frame, invading her space, and looking her over in such a way that told her he fancied her. The apology dinner he had in mind was definitely a date.

Her mouth dried up and Mimi tried to control her burning cheeks. She had to admit, Draco was quite handsome, you know, the all dark and handsome type – except with curly hair.

Mimi opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out. How did their once innocent conversation turn sizzling? This was not normal and had she forgotten this could be a ploy to lower her defenses.

“My reply would depend on the answer you give me to the question I’m about to give you,” She wanted to test him.

“Sure,” Draco smirked, he was up for the challenge.

Mimi smiled back too but it vanished as soon as it came as she asked, “What’s the catch?”

“What?”

“I saw your face the day I hit you, Draco. You look like you would murder me if we crossed paths another time. So tell me then, is this some sort of sick, revenge plan to get me to fall for you so you can break my heart in the end as a lesson?” Mimi laid it bare for him.

At that question, Draco had an inexplicable expression and didn’t answer. Mimi sighed, just as she thought.
