Taken By The Mafia Lord

643 [Bonus Chapter] A trap

“We have to go now,” Marcel told her after the reunion was over. If what his sister said was true, then Reina would have suspected her absence long enough by now.

“What?” Chloe said. It just dawned on her that her brother was not joking at all. He wanted to take her away now.

Marcel bent down so they could look into each other’s eyes and said to her, “Listen to me, Chloe, Niklaus and Sakuzi and I are not on friendly terms, and if they dare to discover that I’m here, I don’t know what they are going to do to me. That is why we have to leave now!” He told her firmly.

“But...” Chloe looked around in confusion, “I can’t just leave them like this. Reina has done nothing but be good to me!”

“I appreciate their kindness, but you don’t belong here -”

“Where do I belong then?” She asked him, her jaws clenched tightly.

“Of course, you belong with me,” Marcel said.

“And yet you did nothing as Daniel took me away!” She accused him and Marcel’s eyes flared up in anger.

“You think that I did nothing? Do you know what I had to do, no, what I was forced to do, just so I could keep you alive and out of harm’s way? I almost married someone I didn’t love! I almost repeated the same steps Daniel took just so you could be safe. You think that I have been able to rest since the day you were taken from me?!” He startled her with the ferocity of his anger.

.....

Marcel had to control his anger so as not to scare her away. He placed his hands on her shoulder and squeezed it affectionately as he said, “I’m your brother, Chloe and I would go to the ends of the earth just to keep you safe. However, we need to leave here before Reina realizes that I’m here.”

“But I need to say goodbye to Diego and Elsa and Ella. They’ve been so good to me and I can’t just leave like that.”

Marcel’s expression changed as he stood to his feet, “We don’t have time for that Chloe, we have to leave now.” His tone was hard and unyielding. He finally got his sister back, Marcel would not let petty emotions get in the way.

“If that’s the case...” Chloe withdrew from him with a hard look in her eyes, “I think that I’m much more protected here,”

Damn it, Marcel had forgotten how headstrong Chloe was since birth. She always made sure to have her way in anything she was passionate about and now that she was a teenager, her stubbornness just tripled.

Before his very eyes, Chloe took off running and Marcel cursed under his breath. She doesn’t understand, Chloe was putting everything he planned in jeopardy. Couldn’t she recognize the efforts he was putting in here? Why does she have to be so rebellious like... Arianna. God, he must have a thing for headstrong women.

“What are you waiting for? Go after her! We must stop her before she gets to the party!” Marcel ordered Winters who stood at the spot after Chloe ran away and watched him as if waiting for his instructions.

If Chloe got somebody to help her, then it was game over for them. And the thought made Marcel clench his fist, he didn’t come all the way here to go home with nothing. Chloe was coming home with him.

So Winters went after the girl and Marcel did the same.

The girl was flexible and good at running all thanks to Marcel who had trained her at a young age to be able to protect herself. Their occupation was dangerous and with a father like Daniel, Chloe needed to know how to fend for herself before help arrived. But at that moment, Marcel was regretting ever giving her training because it made catching her now more difficult.

Winters was the first to catch up to Chloe, however, she couldn’t tell what happened next. It all felt like a dream to Winters because the instant she touched the girl at the back of her clothes, Chloe suddenly turned and grabbed her arm, shifted her weight, and flipped her over her side. Winters found herself on the ground with the breath knocked out of her lungs.

Sorry, how old was the girl again? Winters groaned on the ground. This was not what she signed up for. Marcel was going to have to pay her extra for this. Yeah, injury insurance.

“Are you okay?” Marcel wanted to check up on her but Chloe was getting away and it was now or never. So he left Winters and went after his sister, successfully tackling her to the ground before she could think of escaping.

“Let me go!” Chloe screamed and Marcel closed her mouth with his large palm. She then began to hit him and man, her punches were vicious.

“Stay still, Chloe!” He warned her, but the girl was too stubborn for her good.

Fine, if tying her up would get her home, he’d do just that. Chloe can hate him as much as she wants now, but she will come to understand in the future. Moreover, she can’t be mad at him forever.

Marcel was still thinking of a way to tie her up when his phone rang and distracted him. Chloe took advantage of that and kneeled him in the spot where the sun never shines.

“Sweet Jesus!” Marcel wailed loudly. Not his balls, Chloe! And to think he was the one who taught her this particular effective method. He just never imagined that she would use it on him.

“I’m sorry,” Was all Chloe said to him before leaving him.

Marcel saw stars. However, the most annoying part was his phone that kept ringing relentlessly. Amid the great pain coursing through his balls, Marcel managed to pull out his phone and it was Adele. He picked, groaning.

“Hello, boss?” Adele said hurriedly, “We’ve located Elijah and we are going after him?”

“What?” Marcel was trying his best to comprehend her. The pain was too much and messed with him. But then, he heard everything Adele said and his instinct warned him that something was not right. How could she find Elijah on the same day he was searching for his sister and was away from the base....away from Arianna?

Oh no.

“It’s a trap!” Marcel screamed into the phone, but then, Adele could not hear him because the service was disconnected.

Well, she informed him already. It was time to leave. She has hunted Elijah long enough and couldn’t wait to get her hands on him! She would prove her worth.
