190 How Much You Mean To Victor

Mimi wanted to stop laughing but she couldn’t, not when the reason for laughing was funny as hell. She was dating Victor? What kind of bullshit conclusion was that?

Victor was a pompous asshole, a man she would never date even if an apocalypse hits earth and the male population comes to an end, all except him. She would rather die than repopulate the earth with him. A man that cannot acknowledge his mistake was not worth her attention!

“Alright, that’s enough!” Her laughter was not funny to Draco anymore because it was beginning to feel insultive – she was unintentionally hinting he was stupid for making the wrong judgment and he was a man of pride.

Mimi shut her mouth with immediate effect. She understood that just because this particular breed of gangsters was being cordial to her doesn’t mean they weren’t capable of harming her. She didn’t want to get hurt.

Draco didn’t say a word for a while, seemingly lost in his thoughts. Mimi pulsed her lips, hoping what was going on in his head were good thoughts. As if.

Then he began to circle her without saying a word which only added to the tension Mimi was feeling inside.

He suddenly stopped.

Her heart almost stopped at the same time.

“You’re sure the both of you aren’t a couple?” He suddenly asked.

.....

“Eh?” Mimi was surprised by the question. “Y-yeah,” She answered nonetheless.

He smirked and that sent goosebumps down Mimi’s spine because she could tell that wasn’t a good one.

“That makes it more interesting then,” He murmured beneath his breath but she heard that.

“Interesting,” Mimi didn’t like the sound of that. She didn’t want to associate with another psychopathic gangster, Charlie was enough, and Victor was... Urm.... well, Victor.

Mimi gasped sharply when she suddenly felt Draco’s presence strongly behind her as he rested his head on her shoulder, his hands tenderly squeezing her arms together.

The smell of his cigarette breath nauseated Mimi’s stomach and distracted her enough not to think too much of the intimate position they were in, however, she did hear his words loud and clear in her ears.

“I guess he’d have to find out how much you mean to Victor, don’t you think so?” he found it funny.

Unfortunately, Mimi didn’t find it funny. From their interactions so far, she could already deduce that some bad blood existed between this man and Victor. And he kidnapped her, thinking something was between her and Victor, so he could hurt him.

That was the part that scared Mimi, she didn’t know how far this man was willing to go to teach Victor a lesson because she was currently helpless and defenseless and didn’t like it one bit.

“You’re making a huge mistake here,” Mimi said, finally grasping the gravity of the situation, “This game is not worth it.” She prayed she could change his mind about this. Mimi was beginning to have a bad feeling.

“Are you scared?” He laughed against her skin, goosebumps rising in its wake.

Yet, she put on a brave face, “No.”

“Good. Because it’s going to get better from now on. Don’t you want to know how much you mean to Victor?” He sounded like the devil in her ear right now, offering an apple to her.

“It’s a worthless pursuit,” Mimi answered indifferently. Maybe if she showed she was bored, Draco might think the same and give up what he has in mind.

“No,” he countered, “I call it an eye-opener because you see I made a deal with Victor...”

Now, that doesn’t sound good.

Draco must have sensed her unease because he was excited this time as he went on, “It’s time to see how much you’re worth to Victor because if he doesn’t make it here in approximately.....” He checked his watch, “Two minutes and five seconds, you would be covering an important deal for me instead,”

As punishment for what Victor did, Mimi could read in between the lines. She didn’t need to guess what deal she would be covering. There was just one kind of job women are exceptionally good at in this kind of setting and she had no doubt it required the use of their body. Mimi gulped down a lump in her throat.

“So the question is, how much are you worth to Victor? Would he answer my call or not?”

Mimi hoped he did.

She was not a virgin like her rigid friend, Arianna, but she was no whore either. Victor better comes to complete what he started.

But Mimi was scared shit, doubt creeping into her mind. She fought with Victor right before she was kidnapped and they agreed not to get involved with each other’s life again. What if Victor stays true to that? If Victor decided to abandon her now, then she was doomed.

Oh, God.

She suddenly wished Draco kidnapped her before they had that fight. But now, she doesn’t know what to think anymore. Who would save her?

“Twenty seconds remaining”

Mimi’s heart slammed against her chest. This was slowly becoming a nightmare. Please.... she never thought she would have to pray for Victor’s presence.

“Ten seconds...”

Mimi was close to having a heart attack now.

“Nine seconds...”

Maybe, instead of depending on Victor that would not come from the look of things, she should think of a way to escape.

“Eight seconds....”

Alright, what’s the plan?

“Seven...”

Damn, she had no plan.

“Six....”

The most irritating part was that Draco was announcing the seconds right into her ears in a whisper, heightening the tension inside of her.

“Five...”

Fine, she’d have to make a run for it once she was released.

“Four seconds....”

Mimi braced herself for the disappointment that was about to hit her hard when Draco counted down to zero.

However, Draco didn’t get the chance to count to the seconds on the clock because they heard a loud engine noise and the next, the headlight of a car blinded them.
