Taken By The Mafia Lord-Chapter 868 - Please Trust Me
868 Please Trust Me
It was the sound of a resounding boom, like a car that exploded or something. Well, it was exactly that because when Mimi finally looked out the window, she was stunned to see that the car was flipped over and on fire.
“What the hell was that?!” She turned to Samuel, eyes wide with shock and relief.
“We just got rid of our enemy.” He said.
“We?” Mimi was confused. It was just the both of them here and Samuel didn’t lift a finger except evading them during the chase.
“Victor suspected that Richardo might dare to come after you in broad daylight, so we let them underestimate us and fish them out instead.”
“How?” Mimi was confused. Her head was reeling. Everything was going too fast. Heck, she thought she was about to die and now, this is it.
“The assassins thought it would be an easy kill with just the both of us together, so they got cocky and revealed themselves. Now I lured them this way where the others were laying in wait and got rid of them.”
“Wow,” Mimi didn’t know whether to be impressed or dumbfounded. She then looked out and true to his words, they were being followed by another car and this time, it was not the enemy.
She faced him, “A little warning could have come in handy. God, I almost suffered a heart attack!”
.....
“There was no need to get you worried, unnecessarily. Moreover, we needed you to be natural, these mercenaries are able to sense a trap and you didn’t give us out so we were able to use the element of surprise. Now, let me get you home so we can move you guys to a safe location. ”
“W-what?! Safe location?! ” Mimi sputtered, “W-wait a minute, what’s going on here?” She needed to wrap her head around what’s going on.
“The attack just now proved that Richardo would go to any length to have you, we would have to make sure that doesn’t happen. Now, do you have any relatives in the city that can be used to draw your family out.”
“N-no, no family.. But wait, all of this is going too fast,” Mimi gestures animatedly, “Victor can’t just decide what happens in my life even if the situation is dire. He could have just told me all of this without springing up surprises.”
“I’m sorry Miss Mimi, but this isn’t all Victor’s decision, most of it comes directly from boss Marcel. You are carrying Victor’s child and whether you like it or not, that automatically makes you a Luciano. We, Luciano, take care of our own and that is just what I’m doing. Sorry for the abruptness. ”
“Oh God,” Mimi groaned, rubbing her head because it was beginning to pound. No wonder Victor wanted her away, he knew she would find out about his or Marcel’s plans sooner or later.
“Listen, is there -”
But Samuel lifted his hand and silenced her, that was when Mimi found out that he was on call because he inserted a wireless earpiece into his ear and began his call.
Samuel must be conscious of her presence because she couldn’t pick up much from the conversation except, “Yes,” “Okay” “No”, “safe” It was all just bits that didn’t make any sense and she knew they were talking about her.
“Alright, we will be there soon.” He said in the end.
Samuel took the earpiece and said to her without even looking over his shoulder, “I need to move you directly to the safe location, however, Luca is with your parents and your mother refuses to make a move until she confirms that you are safe and alive. I suggest you call her.”
That was typical of her mother, the woman must be livid now. Victor would surely not have it easy with her once they meet again.
“Sure.” Mimi finally remembered. She has not been able to call before due to the attack. But now, she was about to face Hannah who would no doubt give her a piece of her mind now.
“Hello, mother.” She called.
“Mimi!” The woman screamed into the phone and almost destroyed her hearing. Mimi pulled the phone a few spaces back before bringing it to her ears again.
“Mom, I’m safe, there’s no need to worry.”
“My little angel, what’s going on here? I don’t understand at all. There’s still men claiming to be members of the Luciano family and that they need to move us to a safe place. What sort of gibberish is that? We are in a safe neighborhood -”
“Mom -?”
“There has been no record of crime for a while now -”
“Mom -?” The woman was not listening.
“And why is your dad being compliant with them? I don’t understand -”
“Mom!” Mimi raised her voice this time and she stopped talking.
Phew, finally.
Mimi took a deep breath and told her, “Mom, there is something going on. Victor’s family offended a really bad person and now the man’s coming after him and everyone he loves, that is including me. They can’t get to Victor because he’s protected in the hospital, and now he’s coming to hurt me. Victor wants to protect me, which means I cannot let him get to you guys as well. So please, just follow Luca, he’s trustworthy and he knows what he’s doing. ”
There was a little silence from her mother and just when Mimi thought the woman was beginning to consider her offer, she said, “The police. Yes, we can’t go to the police!”
“Absolutely no!”
“Why not? They would protect us from whoever that person -”
“Mom! Just listen to me and father for once and go with Luca!”
“Mimi?” There was now suspicion in her tone. As a mother, Hannah could sense there was something her daughter was not telling her – and her husband.
“Please trust me for once and go, okay?” Mimi begged her.
“Fine.” The woman finally gave in and Mimi let out the breath that she had been holding in. Wow, Mimi breathed. She had a lot of explaining to do.
