Taken By The Mafia Lord

553 You Must Be Thirsty

“Why didn’t you say anything sooner?” Marcel asked his cousin when he could finally look him in the face without thinking how much he fucked him over.

It might not seem like a huge issue, but if Marcel were to reverse the case, it would be Arianna fucking Victor and dumping him afterward with his cousin having no idea they were together. It was pretty messed up – and he couldn’t imagine that happening.

Arianna was his!

[A/N: Yeah, yeah, we know! Get it over with, alpha man!]

“What’s the point?” Victor shrugged, “What’s done is done and sometimes ignorance is bliss. Look at the awkwardness between us now, it would have been much better without you knowing about it.”

“Then why? Why did you expose it now?” He asked, wondering if it was revenge against her for what she did to him.

His cousin stood up and went to Marcel, “Because I couldn’t stand still and watch her manipulate you. No offense, dear cousin, but you can be quite blinding when it comes to loyalty. People who are loyal to you can still betray you. Aside from that, I’m hundred percent Arianna’s fan and I’m here to do her dirty work. ”

The both of them burst into laughter. It was so hilarious to think that his cousin has been thoroughly won over by his woman, Arianna. If only Marcel knew that after she convinced Mimi to tell him the truth, Victor swore allegiance to her forever.

“And I have good news,” Victor said.

.....

Marcel’s brows raised in anticipation.

He took a deep breath and then smiled so wide Marcel thought the sun had dropped down to the earth. Alright, he was curious now. What could make his little cousin this happy because just an hour ago he was as gloomy as a dark cloud? Marcel wondered if he should be concerned about his mental health?

“Mimi is pregnant!”

“What?!”

“She’s having my baby!”

“What?!”

Instantly, both cousins went for a celebrity cheat bump before Victor hopped onto his back and Marcel happily carried and veered him around like a rotating helicopter before dropping him on the sofa and tackling him.

“You little imp! You got a woman pregnant already?! Oh, I’m so disappointed in you!” Marcel mimicked how usual parents would act when they heard such news, however, their family wasn’t conventional.

It was essential that they got married early and started a family considering risk was part of their job. Imagine if Marcel were to die without an heir to replace him, that would be tragic. It would cause a power imbalance and struggle as well. There was no immediate sibling to take after him since Chloe wasn’t even considered part of the family.

So yeah, Victor was merely twenty-four years old, a year younger than Marcel, but in the eyes of the other family members, he was a grown man. Moreover, starting a family meant one had attained maturity and it was a bonus to get respect in the family. Victor was about to be celebrated in the family.

Hence both men fooled around happily on the sofa until they had exhausted the hell out of themselves till they couldn’t move and laid down there panting.

“So, how do you intend to tell Mimi’s parents you got their daughter pregnant? You haven’t even introduced yourself to them as her boyfriend?” Marcel reminded him how screwed he was.

“Yeah, about that? That is a problem I would figure out later, but for now, I need to bask in the glory of an expectant father.” He said, with complete bliss on his face.

Marcel smiled at his cousin, he was happy for him. But deep down, there was a tiny bit of jealousy as well. How happy would he be if Arianna was pregnant for him? However, this was his cousin’s day, no sad face, no regrets.

“I’m happy for you, cousin,” Marcel said, patting him on the shoulder proudly before he stood up, “I need to go find Arianna.” She must be waiting for him already.

“It’s alright, I need to find Mimi as well. God! We should have a party about this and celebrate as much as we can before Mamma decides to burst in and make my life hell with her arrangements.”

“Anything, you want, man. It’s your day.” Marcel told him and left.

But once Marcel made it outside, he leaned against the door and took a deep breath before going to find Arianna.

He went into her room and found her on the balcony, looking outside. Even if she noticed his presence, Arianna didn’t show it as she kept looking out, so Marcel slowly crept up on her and wrapped his arm around her waist, burying his nose into her neck and inhaling her scent. It was kind of weird but her scent had some sort of calming on him.

Arianna didn’t complain, if anything she leaned into him and shut her eyes closed, enjoying the moment with him.

“I’m guessing you heard the news?” She said, opening her eyes.

“Mmmm,” Marcel murmured, kissing her neck and she relished the feeling. Arianna liked it when he did that.

“Are you disappointed that I couldn’t get pregnant for you?” Arianna suddenly said and he stiffened, before turning her around to meet him.

Marcel cupped her cheek and said firmly, “I might be a bit envious of my cousin’s good luck, but I would never be disappointed in you, Il mio amore. If anything, I should be the one disappointed for not fucking you hard enough to plant a seed. But then, you want us to wait, and I’ll wait, gladly.”

“Thank you,” Arianna was grateful for his understanding and the fact she wouldn’t have be pressured to start a family with him.

“And you should not worry about Macy, she would not be coming here again,” He promised her, kissing her smack on the lips.

“That is good,” Arianna said. She won’t have to get rid of the bitch, herself then. What a considerate boyfriend she had.

She then picked a glass of water from the table beside her, “Here, you must be thirsty, have this.”

Marcel took the water from her unsuspectingly and drank it thoroughly.

“Thank you,” He handed the glass back to her, and then his hands were on her waist again, pulling her close to him as he began to kiss her. They were still making out when Marcel began to feel strange. His vision was a bit blurry

“What...?”

He looked at Arianna who had a smirk at the corner of her lips and then he was falling.
