Chapter 109 - Thank Her In Person (2/2)

Victor sat by the bedside with his arms wrapped across his chest. He stared at that gangster woman on his bed wondering what to do with her? He didn't return home to be a babysitter.

He knew how much he was missing out by being at home while Marcel went to the funeral service. Although it was just the death of a Caporegime, most of his family members would be there due to the rareness of the incident.

Marcel would have to go through a lot of questioning and backlash from family members and he - Victor - wouldn't be there to defend or help him out. Not to mention the fact that his other cousins would be there as well.

The stupid Marcel would rather take on their annoying cousins all by himself and let him deal with a woman? The realization of it pissed Victor off so much.

Their family was nothing but a sea of predators waiting to rip each other apart when the time calls for it. It wasn't that Victor didn't have a thing for leadership, he preferred his head on his shoulder and would rather live a carefree life than one under constant danger.

However, because he loved Marcel too much, he decided to help him out and share his burden by becoming his consigliere. That way he could help in building his regime and look out for him as well.

”So what are you going to do now? Kill me?” Mimi said after a long time of silence, rousing him from his thoughts.

Call it instincts, but Mimi always felt there was something shady going on here, she just didn't have the evidence to prove it. But now it was all true and they seem to be a gang or something.

Mimi became scared, what did Arianna get herself into this time? She knew about her dealing with Ruth back at the clinic and had advised her to give up on that lifestyle which she finally did. But just when Mimi thought it was all over, this came up?

What was Arianna even doing here? How did she get involved with Marcel and the others? Didn't Arianna say she was having the time of her life during that phone call?

Wasn't she supposed to be abroad with her rich mystery boyfriend? Damn it! That stupid girl! Thinking about Arianna's predicament gave Mimi nothing but a headache.

Victor looked at her and sneered, ”You think I haven't tried that?” He sighed.

Mimi paled at once, ”Y-you tried to kill me?” she stuttered. How could he? She thought they were friends?

”Unfortunately, the predator thought you were more of a friend than lunch,”

”What?” Mimi couldn't understand a thing he said. What was he even talking about?

However, before Victor could reply to her, his leg mistakenly hit something and he looked down.

”Oh,” He said, lifting the food flask Mimi dropped earlier when she left his room. Victor had picked it up after the whole drama and forgotten about it until now.

”Smells yummy,” He said, opening the flask and that was when Mimi turned around to see that it was the food - her mother indeed prepared for him.

”Don't touch that!” She shouted.

”Why?” Victor was amused, ”It's food and I'm a foodie,” He grinned at her.

At that moment, Victor looked so innocent that Mimi would have thought he was ordinary if she hadn't witnessed the incident in the morning. Everyone here was wolves in sheep's clothing.

To even think that she made friends with some of them during the past week who did nothing but watch as Arianna was dragged away by those men. They did nothing to help her!.

”You don't deserve to eat that anymore!” Mimi lounged at him only for the chains to pull her back, ”To think my mother put her all to prepare this for an asshole like you!”

But to her surprise, Victor asked instantly, ”You mean to tell me that your mother specially prepared this for me?” His gaze lit up like Christmas.

Why was he looking at her like that? She didn't like that feeling.

He laughed, ”Then I have to thank her in person,”

At once Mimi paled.

This can't be happening.
