Taken By The Mafia Lord

726 What’s Not To Like About Her?

“Victor!” Mimi shouted his name, almost suffering a heart attack when she saw him point that gun at Ezra who stiffened up like a dry leaf. However, unlike Ezra who couldn’t react, Elijah pulled out his gun as well and faced Victor.

Oh God, it was over.

Kill her now.

While others experience a romantic love triangle, her’s was accompanied by guns and the smell of death. Mimi did not doubt they would destroy each other if provoked. Hence, she put herself in between the both of them and told Victor,

“Put down the gun, love. I’m fine.”

Victor looked at her, but there was that stubborn resolution in his eyes; he was not going to put down the gun. Pissed off by his stubbornness, she ordered him, gravely,

“Put the gun down, Victor!”

Without waiting to see if he obeyed her, Mimi turned to Elijah and told him, “Do I need to remind you to put down the gun as well?” She glared intensely at him

However, it seems that both of them were waiting for who would make the first move and Mimi said through gritted teeth, “We are in the hallway of a hospital where anyone could see you both, and trust me if the cops are called on you guys, I would willingly be the witness and have you both locked up!”

.....

Mimi was serious and they could see that, hence Victor was the first to lower his weapon, hiding the gun behind his waistband as usual, and covering it with his shirt. Elijah seeing his gesture took away his weapon as well.

Immediately, Victor pulled Mimi into his arms and hugged her as if they had been away forever when it had just been hours. Elijah in question stared at his brother, to see if he was affected by the gesture but his expression was unreadable. He hoped to God that Ezra was not really in love with Mimi because that would only complicate things.

Pulling apart, Victor began to check her body for injuries and Mimi said to him with an exaggerated sigh, “I’m fine.”

He was being so dramatic.

Victor scrutinized her to know if she was lying and when he didn’t sense any discomfort from Mimi, he tugged her forward saying, “Let’s go home,”

However, just as Mimi moved towards him, another hand gripped her and halted her and Victor glanced up with slitted eyes.

“She can’t leave,” Ezra told him.

“What?” Victor’s gaze darkened with raw emotion, a storm brewing in there. He has been enduring the Draven scum, but he dared to lay a hand on Mimi right in front of him?

Mimi could sense the murderous energy coming from Victor and quickly loosened Ezra’s grip on her else Victor misunderstands the situation – which he already did.

“What are you doing?” She whispered to Ezra in a hurry, warning him with her gaze to back off.

But then, Ezra ignored her signs and looked at Victor saying, “The doctor says she needs enough rest.”

“She would do all the resting she needs at my place,” He added, “Thank you for your care, but I hope your concern ends at this point because I won’t tolerate you making a move on Mimi,” Victor told him straightforwardly.

Dear God, Mimi facepalmed mentally. And they say women are full of drama!

The tension in the room was suffocating now and Mimi wished Elijah would do something about it, but he stood on neutral ground and it was not encouraging right now.

Both men sized each other up and Mimi hoped they were not assessing who was going to win in the event of a fight. They were not fighting each other, not in her watch!

“Why?” Ezra challenged him, “Because she’s your girlfriend -?”

“Fiancée,” Mimi corrected him sternly. Ezra needed to know that she was taking Victor’s side any time, any day.

“Fiancée then,” He smirked at her correction while Mimi groaned inwardly. Why was he doing this to her?

“Or you think she can’t leave you just because she’s having your child?” Ezra said and this time Victor looked at her, surprised by their closeness. They only knew each other today.

Seeing the look on Victor’s face made Mimi scowl at Ezra, “You’re an asshole, you know that?”

“Let’s go, Victor,” She took his hand without a second thought and began to lead him out before the asshole incites Victor into action.

However, Mimi stopped at a point and turned to them announcing,

“Also, don’t bother waiting for Arianna, she won’t be returning tonight.”

“Shit!” Elijah cursed, punching the air. He should have known that Arianna would not stick to her promise of returning home and keeping everything on the low. Why would she? When she loses her mind whenever Marcel is involved.

Mimi continued, “Unlike the both of you, she’s spending time with the love of her life. And Ezra….!” Mimi called and gave him the middle finger before turning and leaving with Victor.

Instead of being pissed off by the gesture, Ezra found himself laughing. She was daring and cute. With a smile on his face, he turned only to see his younger brother, Elijah scowling at him.

“What?” He was uncomfortable with the intense scrutiny.

“Tell me you don’t really like Mimi?” Elijah interrogated him.

“What’s not to like about her?” Ezra patted him on the shoulder and left with a smirk while Elijah remained on the spot.

Meanwhile, Victor was literally crushing Mimi’s hand with how tight he held her as if to prevent someone from snatching her from him. Yet, Mimi didn’t complain and went ahead with him. She had a feeling that Victor doesn’t even know that he was hurting her. His face was scrunched deep in thoughts and though he was physically there with her, Mimi knew his mind was far away and didn’t bother him.

Outside the hospital, both moved to the packing lot where he parked his car and Victor opened the door for her, saying,

“Get in,”

And she did so without complaint knowing that he wasn’t exactly in the best of mood. Mimi did not want to have an argument with him, especially not in the open where anyone could stare at them.

Victor locked the door before walking over to the driver’s side of the car. He first took off his gun and tossed it to the backseat and got in. Mimi stared at the weapon that he could have used and taken Ezra’s life, dread passing through her.

Victor then started the car and they drove in intense silence even though they had a lot to say to each other.
