307 Lose Marcel Soon Enough

Of course, she should have known that Marcel had already set certain precautions in place before letting her out of here.

Right now, Arianna was being led in the direction of the car she was to leave with and she was wearing a baseball cap. According to Marcel, she needed to hide her identity to not draw attention considering she was about to return to her old neighborhood – and her uncle’s place as well.

He doesn’t want anyone recognizing her and causing unnecessary trouble. Not that Marcel couldn’t handle but knowing Arianna, she could take advantage of that to plot her escape.

Arianna was close to reaching the car when the soldier from earlier said, “You should also remember....” and she had no choice but to stop and hear what he had to say.

“Boss said I should tell you not to try anything stupid else Mimi’s parents would have to bear the consequences. You wouldn’t want anything happening to their business, right?” he threatened her.

Arianna swallowed deeply, her eyes slightly widening. So because Victor has his eyes on Mimi, Marcel wouldn’t use her anymore to save his cousin’s face. However, her parent’s business was expandable? Marcel was a great strategist.

Arianna knew if anything happened to their business, Mimi would blame her for that notwithstanding how tight their friendship was. She couldn’t let something like that happen. In the end, Marcel still has a tight leash on her.

“Crystal clear,” Was all Arianna said with an unsmiling face and reached for the door only for Luca to open it and help her in.

When she went in, Arianna expected to be alone, hence the smile vanished from her face when she saw Victor already comfortably seated and waiting for her. She couldn’t see him earlier because the windows were tinted.

.....

“Hello?” Victor waved at her cheerfully.

But Arianna scowled at him in response and sat down, facing the other side. She should have known Marcel would not have even a single chance for her to escape him, neither did she hide her current dislike for Victor.

If Victor thought he was going to win her over with that cute smile of his, then he better get used to disappointment. Mimi, that stupid friend of hers was just too gullible. She should have known; seen the signs; realized that Mimi easily fell for good-looking men. This was all her fault. All of this wouldn’t have happened in the first place had she not gotten entangled with Marcel.

Luca was the driver while the soldier occupied the front seat of the car and she had no doubt he had his weapon with him.

If she were to try to escape, would he shoot her? Did Marcel give him the order in such a situation or was it their training instinct? Does it mean she would have to seize his weapon first before fighting all three of them? Was Luca and Victor with weapons as well?

“Compared to me, Marcel is usually the best at reading people but right now even without trying hard, you look like a rabbit trapped in a corner,” Victor told her.

“Don’t talk to me,” Arianna warned him. The silent treatment she gave him earlier should have been enough sign that she doesn’t want to talk to him.

But Victor went on, ” Don’t carry out whatever it is that you have in mind. Before you think of escaping, you should know that I’m not Marcel and won’t hesitate to hurt you to put you in order. And I really wish you don’t do that because you would only jeopardize Mimi and her happiness seeing that she’s the only thing Marcel can use to threaten you. I don’t want to hurt her anymore like the first time.”

However, Arianna told him,” No, I should be the one saying that to you. Mimi and I have been perfectly fine until you and your cousin came along. If you two had let us alone, we would have been living a peaceful life right now. ”

“Really?” Victor smirked, “You forget that Marcel is the reason that you escaped the Red Giant gang in the first place?”

“No,” Arianna disagreed with that, “If Marcel hadn’t been there, Elijah would have been there and we would be away from this country by now.”

“And Mimi would still be mine eventually,” Victor declared proudly, he was not giving up on this argument either, “I believe in Fate, Arianna. I believe Mimi and I were destined for each other, the same way you and Marcel keep going round and round,”

At that comment, Arianna threw her head back and laughed so hard that tears escaped her eyes. However, her expression changed to a stern look at the last minute as she asked him,” What bullshit are you vomiting this time?”

But Victor smirked,”You and Marcel, when are the both of you going to admit that you like each other?”

Arianna glared at him, “Don’t say such nonsense, because, unlike Mimi, I’m not stupid enough to fall for the trickeries the both of you cousins are capable of.” She made it clear to him.

Surely, it was lust that she felt for Marcel and that was it. Victor shouldn’t compare the sacred feeling of love to that. And the more time she spent with Marcel, the deeper the feelings would become. No wonder she has been feeling horny lately. It was because this was the first time she was spending so much time in a house saturated with testosterone.

“And you think Mimi is stupid?” Victor snorted derisively, “Actually, I think she’s smarter than you. Unlike you, she has no room for pretense and confusion and goes for what she wants.

You think Mimi’s brainwashed by me? Keep on with that personality and you might lose Marcel soon enough. After all, you never know what you have until you lose it.” And that was all he told her before he turned the other way and gave her total silence.

But then, Arianna was stubborn.

Why was he even telling her all of this?
