Taken By The Mafia Lord

Mimi and Samuel stepped out of the car and she was quick to ask him, “What is this place?”

“The King’s mansion.” He explained, letting out a relieved sigh. It had been quite a day.

“The King’s Manson? As in the King’s family. I’ve pretty much heard about them or him. So please do not tell me that I’m actually standing in front of Leon King’s home.”

“Yep, the one and only, Leon King. I shouldn’t be surprised you know him,” He added at the last minute, “And for the record, he’s gay.”

Mimi whipped around to face him, “I wasn’t thinking that way.” She could sense the accusation in his tone.

But Samuel merely shrugged. He was not close to being convinced.

She rolled her eyes toward heaven,

“I’m in love with Victor and I’m having his child. Moreover, I’m a fan, remember? I already know he’s gay. Surely, it’s not a crime to be a fan, right?”

.....

“If you say so then,” Samuel said, heading to the entrance and she followed along.

“So how do you guys know each other? Is he friends with Victor or Marcel?” Mimi wanted to know everything. Perhaps, she was no different from her mother after all.

“Marcel and Leon are not exactly friends, they are just associates. If there’s anyone that you should ask that question, it should be Luca.”

Mimi paused, “Wait a minute….” She thought over it, “The Luca that I know? You know, extremely tall, dark, and deliciously handsome Luca that I previously crushed on until he broke my heart by revealing he was gay? That Luca?”

“Yep, Capo Luca. The both of them are together or something. I don’t really know nor care and….” He turned to face her, “You ask too many questions. So please come meet your parents, no other questions.”

Mimi was startled because she had other questions. Like many, many questions, like how did Luca and Leon meet? Were they together? And damn, she was happy for Luca – and a bit jealous too. Why did it have to be Leon King? She had a lot of gossip to feed Arianna when they will meet after this is over. But there was nothing as exciting as having to meet Leon King face to face. It was a dream come true.

They were welcomed through the entrance and Mimi walked through the short passage that opened into the foyer, admiring the ravish decoration like a child staring at the wonders of the world for the first time.

“Wow,” Mimi breathed. The family was indeed rich, even more than she thought.

“I have a question though,” She said suddenly and Samuel groaned, rubbing his hands down his face.

“What now?”

“Is this place safe though?” She explained, “I mean if Marcel can’t even hide me in the Base, what would stop Richardo from attacking this place.”

“Richardo wouldn’t. No, he wouldn’t dare. While Mr. King might be a famous figure, his family has strong political roots. Even the president of the country is related to him, not to talk of his siblings in various political positions. Did I forget to mention his father was once a member of the military as well? And then his mother… “Samuel sighed,” It’s even a wonder he’s not turned on Marcel yet. ”

“So in one word, he’s the black sheep of the family for associating with the likes of you? No offense though.” Mimi said.

“You can say that. Much to his family’s disappointment, he didn’t go down the political lane with them, deciding to be a businessman instead. His sexual orientation did not help matters either. Every other member of the family is outstanding and imbued with decorum. Just for warning sake, don’t bring up his family though, he’s quite sensitive about talks like that. So Richardo can’t lay a finger on him else he’s exposing the underworld and not even the Bratva or the mercenaries would risk that. We operate under the radar and leave the government alone so the government can leave us too. Simple as that.”

“Oh,” Everything made sense to Mimi now.

“Now, who do we have here?” Someone said out of nowhere.

Speak of the devil, it was Mr. King in blood and fresh, walking in their direction and they halted at once.

“Mr. King.” Samuel greeted.

Leon barely acknowledged him because his gaze was upon Mimi.

“Hi,” Mimi said nervously, suddenly feeling self-conscious in front of this big shot. She had once crushed on him, you know.

Leon said, “I only got to meet Arianna, not you. But Victor sure knows how to make his pick…” His gaze trailed down to her stomach, “And it seems the position for a godfather is open as well.”

“Oh….” Mimi swallowed, “About that, the position is taken already.”

Leon arched a brow, “By who?”

She thought over it “A crazy lunatic? He’s quite not right in the head.”

“Hmmm, a ‘he’ ?” Leon’s eyes sparkled with interest, “Is that crazy lunatic quite handsome?” He inquired optimistically.

Just as Mimi was about to answer, Luca came in at that moment, and by the tick in his jaw, she could sense that he heard everything – and he looked mad. Call it her sixth sense but Mimi could tell there was trouble in paradise.

“Well, he’s single, but not into men.”

Leon tsked, feigning disappointment, “What a loss.”

She stretched her hand, “I’m Mimi, and a huge fan.”

Instead of taking her hand in a handshake, Leon took it and raised it to his lips instead, planting a kiss on it.

“I’m Leon King and I have a feeling that we are going to get along fine.”

Mimi smiled and he smiled back at her.

Leon then took her arm and looped it around his. He walked with her, saying, “Now, let’s get you to your parents. While I’m famous for my charming ability, I don’t think I can stop your parents from murdering each other.”

“Huh?”
