Taken By The Mafia Lord

The gay Adonis was going to be her personal guard from now?

Before Mimi knew what was going on, Arianna started to laugh as if she had finally lost her mind.

“Hey!” Mimi scolded her, “Would you stop scaring me like that. Between the both of us who should even be sadder?! As if you were going to start something with him in the first place?!”

But Arianna shook her head, “You don’t understand, Mimi. I thought I was smart, but Marcel always seems to be one step ahead of my plans,” She was defeated.

Arianna threw her hands up in frustration, “How could he think of such an idea. How could he exploit a loophole like this?!”

But her friend Mimi whom she was talking to was depressed as well, “Why are the handsome men gay?” she asked no one in particular.

However, Mimi’s phone beeped with a message at that moment and her eyes lit up. She then looked suspiciously at her friend and when she saw Arianna was not looking at her, she quickly typed down a message and turned the phone so the back was on top.

“A-hem,” Mimi cleared her throat, “But on the bright side, it worked for your favor anyway,”

.....

Arianna turned to her, “For my favor? How? He would monitor my movements twenty – four hours, seven days, and report to Marcel. How is that being lucky?”

“I’m just saying him being gay saved his life else Marcel would really kill if he hits you. Also, guys are extremely jealous of the woman they like? Have you even considered dating Marcel?”

Arianna was so taken aback by that question that her jaw dropped and her eyes widened to the size of saucers. She narrowed her gaze at Mimi, “Are you seriously suggesting that to me right now?”

Arianna couldn’t believe Mimi of all people would say that to her. Her friend had been all about getting the hell out of here, and now she wants her to date the man who is responsible for her being here. This has got to be the joke of the century.

If it wasn’t for the drama earlier – Mimi likes hot guys – Arianna would have thought that Marcel got someone else, a doppelganger or something in place of the real Mimi to confuse her.

Mimi scratched the back of her head, “I’m just saying Marcel might not be what you think of him and if you got closer instead of fighting, things would be much easier,”

“Ha! You talk as if you know him that well” Arianna huffed, then leaned closer to check her friend’s temperature with concern, “Are you well at all, or has this place begun to poison your mind. Oh God, I knew I shouldn’t have got you involved in this.”

“Arianna, I’m fine!” Mimi calmed her panicking friend, “Look at me, I’m totally good. It was just a mere suggestion.”

“A mere suggestion, really? Have you forgotten that I’m Elijah’s girlfriend?” she reminded her.

But Mimi gave her a deadpanned look, “Are we going there right now?”

“Mimi, he promised that we would be together,”

“And you believe the promises of a man who you have not seen for over a month plus now?”

“He would come back for me!” Arianna was sure, “I don’t know much about Elijah, but he always keeps his promises.”

However, Mimi groaned in annoyance, wiping her face with her palm, “Sometimes I don’t know if you are just naive or simply idiotic,”

“I just trust -”

“Fine, let’s say he comes back for you as he promised? Do you think he would still love you the same way? No,” Mimi quickly rephrased the question, “Do you think you would still love him the same way?”

“W-what?” Arianna gulped, having an inkling of where this conversation was heading, “O-f course,” She laughed awkwardly, “Why wouldn’t I still like him?”

But Mimi had not given up, she grabbed Arianna and made her face her. With her gaze on her, Mimi boldly asked her, “Look me in the eyes and tell me you don’t feel a thing for Marcel?”

“What?” Arianna squeaked, her breathing getting heavy.

“Don’t lie to me and tell me the truth,”

Arianna bit on her lips, does she have feelings for Marcel? That was impossible, what does she see in that brute.

“I feel attracted to him but that’s all lust. It’s nothing special like what I feel for Elijah,” She was quick to defend her new, complicated feelings for Marcel.

“Then act on it then.”

“What?” Her eyes almost bulged out of their socket, “What are you talking about?” was this still the Mimi she knows? Why was her friend talking in this manner? Something was not right here.

“Have a sexual relationship with Marcel,”

“Oh, no, no, no,” Arianna shook her head in denial, “That is so not happening,” However, just because Arianna doesn’t want to do it doesn’t mean she hasn’t thought about it.

“How long are you going to remain a virgin? Till you grow old? Arianna, you have a man as hot as sin willing to wipe those cobwebs in between your legs, what are you still waiting for?”

Arianna stubbornly turned the other way, “You are corrupting me, Mimi.”

But her friend rolled her eyes, “And you are so old-fashioned and stubborn.”

Mimi stood up, “Better take advantage of this opportunity before Marcel’s heart is snatched by another,”

Arianna couldn’t explain it but a slight frown twisted her face at the prospect of Marcel falling for another woman. Why did it annoy her so much? She had to stop thinking about this.

“Where are you going?” Arianna asked upon seeing Mimi straightening her dress.

“I have a job here, Arianna, have you forgotten?”

“Oh, right,” She asked, “Is Victor giving you a hard time?”

“If he is, what would you do?” Mimi intentionally asked her.

“I’ll tell Marcel -”

“Don’t bother, Arianna” Mimi cut her off, “Unlike you, I’m good at handling men and It’s time you learned from the best already,” She said and with that, was gone.
