Taken By The Mafia Lord

“That’s impossible.”

“What?” Mimi had almost forgotten that the stranger was still with her.

“The restaurant has strict security hence nothing would happen to him without them getting alerted?” The man looked straight at her as he asked, “Are you sure he didn’t ditch you?”

“What?” Mimi’s face fell and her stomach did a backflip at that possibility. She shook her head in denial, “No, that can’t happen. That’s impossible.” She laughed wryly, “Draco wouldn’t do that.”

Or would he? The other voice of reasoning protested. She means he seemed pretty sincere when he convinced her to have dinner with him. There was no way he was faking all those emotions. It can’t be.

“We’d check the surveillance footage to be sure and if there’s nothing there, we might really contact the police to launch an investigation,” The man said, and she merely nodded. Mimi was so distracted by the thoughts in her head that she forgot to ask him why he was helping her.

He stepped out in the direction of the surveillance room and she followed after him. Mimi couldn’t help but notice people staring at her and she had a feeling that her drama in the toilet had spread. However, the embarrassment didn’t amount to the fear and anticipation building inside of her.

Every step forward made her heart pound loudly in her throat because she was about to discover the truth. The fear crippled her so much that her hand began to tremble – she couldn’t accept the fact that Draco played her. The ominous feeling only increased and her feet felt like lead as she walked on.

.....

That strange man must be pretty important because as soon as he walked in, the security there welcomed him and he had a conversation with them, probably asking for the footage.

There were diverse screens but the security played the footage on the biggest screen there was. The man gestured for her to come closer, he probably needed her help to locate Draco and the footage started a few minutes before her missing date decided to leave for the restroom.

The security then put up all the footage featuring Draco after he left for the restroom. And true to his words, Draco did leave to answer nature’s call, however, he didn’t return to her.

Emotions clogged her throat and Mimi didn’t know how to feel upon seeing Draco slowly stalk towards the entrance. And the funny part? Mimi could have seen him if she had turned at that moment but all of her attention had been on the dessert.

Mimi stood up straight at once, having confirmed what she needed to know. Tears pricked her eyes and she couldn’t tell being discovered in the men’s toilet and this moment, which one was more embarrassing. Everyone in here knows she was abandoned by her date and her pride was hit hard. She was humiliated to death.

“Hey, I’m -” The man tried to speak but Mimi cut him off, she didn’t need his sympathy.

“It’s alright.” She smiled kindly at him, putting up a brave front even though all Mimi wanted to do was scream out her anger and frustration at the top of her voice. Draco went too far this time.

Before the man could say anything else, Mimi had already strode out of the place, head held high. If this was a sick prank and Draco had hoped she would move out of this restaurant, bawling her eyes out at the disappointment, then he was at a loss.

For all she knows, one of his people might be somewhere catching this moment on camera, she would not give him the satisfaction of watching her cry!

She was the fool to have believed him blindly. He had gotten to her with his sugary words and won. And though it hurts, she would get over it – she was already used to disappointment in relationships.

With that murderous look on his face the day she hit him, Mimi should have known he would not give up easily. In essence, this was a trap and she fell into it because her guard had been down.

Victor had been right.

Well, f*ck Victor! F*ck Draco! F*ck the whole of the male species! Just because she was a female doesn’t mean she was easy to manipulate and fool! She has enough of this bullshit! From now on, she would lock up her emotions, no more falling for pretty boys or men in general!

She would concentrate on herself this time – love herself a little more, and maybe when she finally opens up again – if she would – no ordinary motherf*ck would come her way.

The only good thing Draco did was pay for their dinner and Mimi already made a mental note to find a way to send the money back to him later. She wanted nothing that would remind her of him.

As soon as Mimi made it outside, an unfamiliar number flashed across her screen and she knew who it was even before she picked it up.

“Did you enjoy your dessert? You seem to love it,” He said nonchalantly as if he didn’t just abandon her in the middle of his apology dinner. To hell with the word, “date”.

“Draco,” Mimi said his name, her tone dripping with so much hatred that the man should be lucky he was far away.

“I’m sorry it came to this, Mimi, you’re such a sweet woman, but unfortunately, I bear grudges.”

And so does she. He just hasn’t felt her heat yet.

“Spare me the speech, Dra-cuss” she gave him a nickname, “The both of us know you have not a shit of sympathy,” Mimi drew her head back and laughed sarcastically, “You know what? You should run like you did today because if I ever set my eye on you, you would wish you were never born. I promise you that.”
