Taken By The Mafia Lord

391 He Kissed Her And She Enjoyed It

They were being followed, Arianna found out. However, she was calm knowing that it was Marcel’s people trying to make sure that they were safe.

Honestly, Arianna was touched by the gesture. Had it been in the past, she would have thought that Marcel was simply following her to secure his prisoner and make sure she doesn’t escape him.

And that brought her back to the question, will she escape him though? It was no longer a question of “Could she escape him?” because Arianna was sure to have found the way already. Marcel trusted her and that was powerful enough for her.

However, it was now a question of decision, ‘will’ she escape him? And of course, it was complicated as well. Maybe she would, but that would be in the future – if he gave her a reason to run from him – for now, she would spend time with him and explore these raw feelings blossoming between the both of them.

And yes, as Arianna thought, Victor and the others were in the car keeping an eye on them. However, none of them knew that there was another car slowly trailing them.

The driver of the car was Elijah and unlike the other times where he had his face painted, it was bare this time with half of it partially hidden by the cap he was wearing. He didn’t exactly have the time to suit up because he was low on information.

However, while Victor and the others had been watching Daniel’s place, he was watching them as well up high in another building not far away from their location.

He was not prepared to save Arianna today, but the opportunity could turn out to be a blessing in disguise. So he had to try. Hence, having known the cleaning company was their next destination, he moved ahead of them.

Even as a fake employee, it turns out that making an official statement where one of you was almost raped in a client’s house was quite tiring. They had to go through a lot of procedures and questioning before they were let off for the day.

.....

As soon as they made it to the lobby, Victor was there, dragging the exhausted Mimi into his arms. However, no sooner had he pulled away from her that he noticed the bruise on her face and his countenance changed at once.

“What happened here?” He asked no one in particular but Arianna knew that question was directed at her.

She scratched her head nervously, “There was a bit of a situation but you are assured that justice was served.”

Unfortunately, Victor didn’t share the same opinion as her. He growled at Arianna, “Damn justice, I am going to kill that bastard myself.”

“You can’t do that!” Luca blocked his way as soon as he turned, “They barely carried through with this plan. Daniel is not stupid, he’d suspect foul play if one of his men turns up dead without his order,” He made it clear to him.

Victor stopped in his tracks at once knowing Luca was right. As much as he wanted to kill the bastard responsible for this, he needed Mimi alive by his side and Daniel was not the type to forgive freely when he came to know what they did. For their betrayal! For their audacity.

“Please Victor.” Mimi took his hand, hoping to persuade him as well, “Don’t do anything reckless for now. I’m completely fine. Nothing happened. See, it doesn’t even hurt anything.” She showed him.

Unknown to them, while they were busy with their problems, Elijah was at the corner watching them. His heart skipped a beat when he saw the familiar red hair and Arianna’s beautiful face. She hardly changed ever since.

His blood thrummed with excitement, he couldn’t wait to get her back. He missed her so much and he was a fool to have dragged this game out for so long. He needed her now.

If only he could cause a distraction that draws the attention of the two men away from her for just a second, then he could grab and take her out of there. Arianna wouldn’t refuse to come with him once he reveals himself to her.

Suddenly an idea struck him, but just as he was about to execute it, he saw Marcel approaching and he took a step back at once.

Damn, why did Marcel have to appear now of all moments? That made the situation a whole lot worse now. What was he going to do? Elijah wasn’t sure he would be able to sleep properly tonight if he didn’t get her.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t make a reckless move because his face was bare and he felt exposed. Elijah had always felt strong because his identity was hidden and he wasn’t ready to lose that form of security.

“Arianna!”

“Marcel?” She was surprised upon seeing him. Arianna thought they would meet at the...

“Umm...” Every thought escaped her head when Marcel reached out without warning and kissed her. All she could try to do was to brace herself against the onslaught of emotions that attacked her body.

Marcel cupped her face and kissed her hard, deep, and aggressively, giving her no chance to reciprocate the feeling as if he wanted this moment to be about her alone, and not him.

But then when she finally pulled away for air, their lips met once in a much more tender kiss. Her lips moved against his and Marcel pulled her closer by the waist as if he couldn’t get enough of her. He bit on her lower lips loving the sound she made at the back of her throat and probably would have taken things further until he realized they were in public.

Damn!

Sadly, this had to wait until he got the information he needed concerning what happened today. He glanced up at her and unlike the usual frowns he gave Clara, Marcel said to her affectionately, “Let’s go home,” he offered her his hand.

Arianna looked at the hand and took it, smiling in response, and left with him, with none of them seeing the shock-stricken face on Elijah’s face.

What just happened? The phantom thief had a hard time believing what he saw with his eyes.

Did Marcel just kiss Arianna and she liked it?

No, that can’t be happening.

It can’t be that he lost her.

That can never happen.

No, he was never going to agree to that.
