Chapter 855 - 855 Her Instincts Screamed Danger
855 Her Instincts Screamed Danger
It was sad, but all good things must come to an end. Arianna had to return home, but Marcel didn’t want her to go. You don’t know how much someone means to you until you begin to lose her, well, in his case, the communication was only limited. With the distance between them, his heart only grew fonder.
Marcel wanted to kidnap Arianna again and keep her with him for the rest of his days. Unfortunately, as tempting as the offer was, he couldn’t afford conflict with the Draven family. To be honest, having the Draven crime family on his side was a big support considering other families steered clear of them like a plague, all thanks to Daniel’s relationship with them in the past.
However, he was the leader now and after settling down with Arianna, his goal was to ally with the other families. As much as their family was powerful, having allies would help on rainy days would be a huge investment. Anything could happen and he had to be sure there would be powerful forces backing him.
“You have to let go now, Marcel,” Arianna told him when he wouldn’t release her. He was seated on the sofa’s armrest and hugged her waist in that position.
But Marcel shook his head in protest and hugged her tighter. Have you ever loved someone so much that you feel like you’re floating in the ninth heavens whenever she’s around you? Call him crazy but that was how Marcel felt. Thanks to her presence, he doesn’t even feel the pains of his injury anymore.
Marcel was grateful that Arianna wasn’t the air everyone breathes, because honest to God, he would hoard all of it and let the entire earth’s population die off. He doesn’t care – and he wasn’t ashamed to admit it. Everyone else could rot in hell as far as he had Arianna. Well, everyone else except his sister Chloe, Victor… also Winters, and maybe Mimi. Ugh, whatever! He doesn’t care, Arianna was the only one he wanted.
Marcel lifted his face slowly and asked her with a puppy look, “Isn’t there a way you can convince Natalie to let you stay one more night?” He was very frustrated considering Arianna was an adult and has the right to make her decisions.
Arianna thought about it, however, remembering her mother’s tone when she sent that message, she knew nothing can change her mind. Natalie was adamant about them having that conversation.
“I’m sorry,” She said with an internal wince.
.....
“But I’m a patient,” Marcel whined, “Why can’t my girlfriend who is knowledgeable about my injury take care of me? Natalie would be mad but my reason is justifiable.” He was not giving up easily.
Arianna couldn’t help but smile. She was finding Marcel’s groveling quite cute. It was hard to imagine that months ago she hated his ass when he was such a big softie.
As if on cue, Samson strolled into the room and Marcel had never been happy to see him. Knowing how much the lion loved Arianna, he would not let her go, and combined with their persuasive powers, they would be able to stop her from leaving. Just to achieve a goal, Marcel wouldn’t mind sharing his woman with Samson. Although he gets seventy percent of her time, the lion gets thirty.
“Oh no,” Arianna was startled when she spotted the familiar golden brown mane. And just like that, it was over. There was no way Samson was letting her go. Nor was Marcel being on his best behavior either.
And that was how Arianna find herself staying behind. She had no choice but to send her mother a message that she wouldn’t be able to make it back home and she hadn’t responded. Perhaps her mother understands, Arianna assumed.
Right now, she was in the garden with Samson, and both of them were having leisure time. Samson was lying on his side on the lawn – after hours of playing hide and seek – while Arianna lay on his stomach, exhausted. Whoever said raising a pet was easy, must not have children. Samson was as demanding as a baby, just a notch worse than Marcel.
And speaking of Marcel, he had to return to his office to continue his leftover work. Arianna suspected that he was extremely busy thanks to the shootout accident, however, he was playing it cool. Hence, she didn’t bother him and had a good time with Samson instead.
After a while, Arianna retreated into the house and that was when she decided to check out her old room. Of course, Samson the faithful follower went with her and both of them went in. The room was organized and left the way it was the last time she slept here – to be precise before Elijah took her away.
Arianna had nearly forgotten about this place since she spent time with Marcel in his room whenever she visited. Hence, she explored the room, feeling nostalgic as the memories filled her. This was where it all began, her cheeks warmed at the thoughts. The good and bad times, all happened here.
She had barely sat down on the bed when there was a knock on the door and her attention shifted. Arianna wondered who it was. She had not requested anything and Marcel hardly knocks. He mostly barges in like a caveman who knows what he wants and gets what he wants.
Perhaps, Marcel sent something for her, Arianna reasoned and rose to go open the door when the knock sounded a second door. However, just as her hand clasped around the knob, Samson released a low growl at the back of his throat and that made Arianna stop short.
Arianna didn’t believe in superstitious but she trusted Samson and knew for a fact, animals could sniff out the bad guys. Moreover, thanks to her mother’s training, she has become more aware of her surrounding and right now, her instincts were screaming danger.
She glanced back at Samson and call it strange, but an understanding passed between the both of them, right before she opened the door and hid at the side just as two bullets pierced the empty space. It was chilling, but Arianna realized those bullets would have been pumped into her body had she been standing in the way.
Her attacker must have realized that she had been tricked because as soon as she stepped into the room, Arianna kicked the gun out of her clasp and it fell. As if it was practiced, Arianna then bent just as Samson leaped over her with great strength and descended on the attacker.
