Chapter 100 - It Was For Her Good (1/2)
”What?!” It almost seemed as if a stone hit Victor hard in the head when he heard that. He looked at Marcel to see if he was joking but the unsmiling face told him all he needed to know.
”He's sending a message to me,” Marcel told him.
Victor rubbed his temple, ”What does he want...?” he remembered, ”Arianna. It's her, isn't it?”
Marcel merely nodded.
”In that case, we should take Arianna and torture her, that would send our message to him as well,”
”That is not going to happen,” Marcel growled, going against the idea immediately. He couldn't even stomach the idea of Arianna being tortured, not to talk of watching it on camera.
”You're against it?Why?” Victor huffed, ”Because she's special after you've fucked her?!”
Marcel's eyes reflected guilt for a moment, then hardened as he warned Victor, ”Stop it,”
”What? Stop it? What's wrong with torturing the little bitch, huh? It has always been our modus operandi? Or have you fallen for her? Tell me, Marcel!” Victor asked, staring him straight in the eyes. His back was rigid and straight, his lips trembling a bit from anger.
”Stop spouting such nonsense!” Marcel raised his voice on him.
”Oh God,” Victor laughed sarcastically, ”You're protecting her,”
”I'm not protecting- !”
”We lost four of our people all thanks to her!” Victor screamed at his face, ”Ever since that girl appeared, she's been nothing but trouble! First, you kill for her, and now this! Gosh, Marcel, you of all people should know how dangerous emotions is for you!”
At once, Marcel grabbed Victor by the shirt and hitched him up, ”And you of all people should know how to control your emotions. Torturing Arianna would do nothing but bring trouble for us. Elijah has only her to lose but I have everything to lose!” he screamed into his face drawing the attention of the policemen working on the scene of the accident. But they all looked away, pretending not to be interested in their quarrel.
”We can torture Mimi then, Arianna can cry watching that and we can send the footage to Elijah,” Victor still had a lot of ideas on how to get back at Elijah.
Although he wasn't close to the men who died, they were one of their own and the Luciano clan was good at protecting their people.
”Don't you get it?” Marcel shook him as if that would bring back his senses, ”We would go according to plans and I promise you the instant we get our hands on Elijah, you can pour down your rage on him,”
It took time for Victor to accept that suggestion, nonetheless, he was beneath Marcel in authority and had to obey.
”Fine. So what do we do now?” he asked.
”Sticking to the plans,” Marcel said as he picked up his phone and called Kenith.
