Chapter 105 - Dealing With A Mad Woman

Mimi knew that was Arianna from the first scream. Even if she was dead, there was no way she wouldn't be able to recognize her best friend's voice. Hence she planned to come to her rescue only to be held back by that asshole. 

"What are you doing?" She glared at Victor who grabbed her by the arm. 

"I should be the one asking the question. Where are you going?" He asked innocently yet staring into his eyes gave Mimi suspicions she couldn't chase off. 

"That's Arianna down there, isn't it?" She asked seriously. 

There was a flash of guilt on his face for 0.1 seconds. 

"You don't know what you're talking about, that's not Arianna," He laughed, awkwardly. 

All blood drained from Mimi's face, she hasn't told Victor about Arianna. Until now. How then did he know about her? The fears in her heart grew. 

Mimi tactically stared down at his grasp on her arm, testing his strength. She studied Victor's body language, he was on hyper-alert and would catch her if she escaped. 

So Mimi relaxed, "You're right, that can't be Arianna," She laughed, "What would be Arianna be doing here?" 

Victor smiled at her as well as if he understood her. Unfortunately, she was not a fool. 

Mimi beat her head, "I must be hearing things now," she turned to him, "But most of all, I'm curious about how you came to know about Arianna," She was not smiling anymore. 

The smiles on Victor's face died off as well because he was caught off guard and that was the opening Mimi needed - that moment of distraction. 

She broke free and took off like the Flash and all that was left in her wake was nothing but dust. Victor barely recovered from the shock only to curse, "Damn it," he went after her. 

"Arianna, I'm here! Arianna!" Mimi kept screaming as she made it downstairs only to see that her best friend was playing a game of chase with four men. 

Her throat constricted, it was really Arianna. What was she doing here? Was she working here as well? Mimi hoped that way, but the scene told her otherwise and that was what scared her more. She had this feeling that Arianna was in danger - and she had to help her. 

"Arianna!" Mimi called to her attention so she could help out. 

It worked because their eyes connected and she could see the shock that spread across her friend's expression. 

But calling her was a mistake. 

Mimi saw when one of the men lurched at Arianna and wanted to warn her, it was too late. Arianna was tackled to the ground and she was helpless to stop it. No, she could help her by fighting those assholes off. 

That was Mimi's plan and took the first step only for a hand to clamp around her arm again and turned her around to who ....?

Mimi blanched upon seeing Victor's dark gaze, a shiver running down her spine. Since when did he become this scary? 

So she struggled to free herself, her friend was in trouble and she had to escape here. There was something odd about this place. 

However, her struggles were for nothing because Victor wouldn't let her be. 

"Let me go asshole!" She cried out, striving fiercely with him. But all her pushes were for nothing because he was immovable and as tough as a rock. 

Despair filled Mimi, she turned in the other direction, screaming her friend's name, "Arianna!" She stretched her hand as if trying to reach her but they were far away from each other. 

And just like that, Mimi watched as her friend was taken away by a group of unknown people while Marcel's soldiers stood watching and did nothing. 

Mimi lost all feeling in her legs and sank to the ground, bringing Victor down with her. She didn't react for a moment going over the whole scene in her mind while in shock. 

She had been resentful towards Arianna since the day she called to inform her that she was comfortable wherever she was and she - Mimi- shouldn't look for her. 

Although it wasn't like Arianna's character, Mimi imagined she took off with some rich dude she hooked up with without informing her. It was stupid but she had been too angry over her betrayal then.

The both of them were friends and promised to tell each other everything but Arianna disappeared without notice until that very call. She had been too hurt to think straight until now.

Now she thought about it, it seems that Arianna was trying to protect her from something, more like people.

And it was that realization that brought Mimi back to the present only to realize that Victor was by her side. Revolted, she pushed him away with her all of her might that Victor hit his head at the edge of the steel handrails since he was right behind the stairs. 

Even at that, he didn't hiss nor wince, not that Mimi noticed anyway. She was back on her feet and pretty hysterical. 

"You!" she stormed over to Samuel and his partner. Her eyes were furious and her stance was in battle mode. Mimi didn't care about the consequences of her actions at this moment. All she needed was an explanation. 

"What the hell were you doing?!" She pushed him hard on the chest, Samuel stumbling back from the unexpected force, "You were there! You did nothing! You were supposed to help her!" 

"Mimi, calm down!" Said Samuel's partner. They were familiar with her since she has been coming over the past week. 

"No, you! Don't tell me to calm down! You don't get to tell me to calm down! You don't have the right! Absolutely not!" Mimi was in so much anguish, she poked the man on the chest furiously. 

Unfortunately, Samuel had a temper and was pissed off by her attitude, he roared at her," You don't get to speak to us in this - !"

Samuel didn't get to finish the rest of his comment because Mimi grabbed him by the shirt to everyone's surprise. Even Samuel was stunned, this was the first time he got to deal with a madwoman. 

"Mimi, calm down," Victor came up behind Mimi only to receive a jab from her ankle in the jaw. He almost cried out in pain. 

"Bring back Arianna this instant!" Mimi was serious as hell as she hitched Samuel by the shirt. 

"Mimi calm -" His partner tried to say only to receive a death glare from Mimi. Her eyes were so murderous that he shut it instantly. Rest in peace, Samuel. 

Samuel didn't know what to do. If he was going to release himself, he would have to use blunt force and he wasn't into hitting women. 

He was still contemplating his next move only for Victor to sneak up behind her again. But this time, Victor was smart enough not to touch her and without warning, hit the pressure point on Mimi's neck, causing her to pass out instantly. 

Mimi slumped on Samuel's body but he quickly pushed her towards Victor - as if she was poison- who had no choice but to catch her else she hits the ground. 

"That was romantic?" Samuel teased him. 

Victor glared at him.
