Taken By The Mafia Lord

242 Victor Was Still Protective Of Her

“Of course, you have no answer,” Mimi was now more than willing to end this conversation – if only he could move away from her door.

“Of course, I was angry,” Draco retorted when she least expected it, “I had my ass handed down to me by a woman. What man in his right mind wouldn’t feel that way? You shamed me in front of my men.”

“In that case, this dinner is so not -”

“But you have guts,” Draco cut her off knowing nothing about that answer sounded positive, “I like a woman with fire in her and so here I am, wanting to know more about that wonderful woman,” He flattered her, looking quite confident as if he had won already.

Mimi gave him a long look before asking, “And what would you do if I denied you a date tomorrow?”

He grinned knowingly, “I never said it was a date,”

“You are quite a good comedian,” Mimi grinned back. Draco was funnier than she thought.

Draco didn’t even think of his answer, he replied right away, “I would probably give you space and then continue from where I stopped the next day,” He was smug.

And the guy did have lots of confidence. It was charming in his own way.

.....

Mimi drew closer, meeting his gaze, “Tomorrow wouldn’t change our relationship even though it might alter what I thought about you a bit,” She went on before he could say a word, “So don’t think of making it permanent,” She hinted at a relationship.

But Draco was not disappointed, rather he was quite cocky as he declared, “All great relationships started somehow,”

Mimi didn’t answer, she already warned him. So she simply said, “You’ve earned yourself a dinner tomorrow night. Although, you have to promise me that you won’t stop me from leaving if I see what I don’t like,”

Mimi needed to be sure of that. This was her first date, no, dinner with him, and has to be sure Draco wouldn’t threaten her into staying back when she feels the least comfortable anymore.

“Don’t worry, that won’t happen since I already like what I see,” Draco stared over her body appreciatively.

Mimi was not grossed out by his blatant gesture, if anything she was thrilled by it. When was the last time a guy looked at her that way? Come to think of it, it’s been months already since she went on a date. Maybe this wasn’t a bad idea.

“But...” He went on, “If I indeed make you uncomfortable, you are free to take your leave, baby.”

Damn, this guy was a smooth talker. She was beginning to like him more and more – Mimi appreciates a man who knows what he wants and goes after what he wants.

“I guess it’s tomorrow then,” Mimi breathed.

“Yes,” Draco said, and then without warning, he swoop down and planted a peck on her cheek, saying, “Until then,”

Well, who was she kidding? She did see that coming. Alright, maybe, she does have expectations now. Mimi hopes tomorrow goes successfully as she imagined, it would be a big distraction from Victor’s....

Her face fell at once, she made a decision not to recall that incident until now. Thankfully, Draco had left already hence he didn’t see the change in her demeanor.

Mimi shut the door and leaned against it with a sigh. Now she thought about it, maybe this was a bad idea, after all? What would Victor think when she sees the both of them together? No, she was not going to think about that right now.

Victor and Draco’s feud was none of her business. She was simply going to have a good time with the young man tomorrow – a young man that kidnapped her.

No, he promised he wasn’t going to hurt her and she believed him. Mob bosses were quite strict with their words because it was the law and they couldn’t afford to lose their credibility. Whatever problems they both -Draco and Victor – have, they would settle that after her date – and without involving her.

Mimi was about to go up and have her rest. Her head was clearer now, and the tears stopped which means she had no other reason to go hide in her aunt’s place and draw more suspicion to herself. She just had to cover her swollen eyes with a bit more makeup.

She hardly put the flower in a vase when the doorbell rang again, followed by a loud banging. What the.... What now? Mimi couldn’t understand why she couldn’t get a rest today? Was it by chance, world’s visiting day?

Truthfully, she felt him before she opened that door but Mimi chose to ignore the feeling and was treated to the sight of an anxious Victor.

He pushed the door open and engulfed her in a hug that knocked the breath out of her. What was going on?

Before she could say a word, he already released her but began to scan her body.

“What are you doing?” Mimi was flustered as she felt his hands all over her.

But he wouldn’t stop until she screamed his name, “Victor?!”

Victor froze, as if he was roused back to his senses. Then he squeezed her into his arms once more, nestling his neck in the crook of her neck and it sent shivers down her spine.

“I thought he hurt you or something,” He murmured, threading his hand through her hair.

Of course, he knew Draco came, Mimi realized. It confirmed her fears that he really set someone to keep watch over her. Where was the person hiding? He must be a professional for her not to have noticed his presence. It made her uneasy yet relieved at the same time. It was warm to know Victor was still protective of her even after their fallout.

Mimi could tell from the way his breath came out fast and deep that he must have run on his way here. He was sweating with his heart pounding loudly in her ears.

She couldn’t help but wonder, if Victor had this strong reaction to Draco’s visit, what would he do when he hears she is going to have dinner with him tomorrow.

Damn.
