415 She’s In Safe Hands

“Oh boy,” Victor groaned at that revelation.

“Spencers,” Marcel rubbed his forehead at that revelation. Just when he thought things were getting better, it worsened.

Arianna looked between Marcel and Victor in confusion, wondering why they had that look on their faces as if the world had ended.

“Why? What’s wrong?”

Victor was the one who answered, “Let’s just say that your father-in-law doesn’t have a great reputation, likely the most hated person on earth. Not to mention that he doesn’t have a great relationship with the Spencers. No, Sakuzi hates the very feet he steps on.”

Wait a minute, was Victor by chance referring to Daniel. She scowled at him.

“He’s not my father-in-law,” she said.

No, Daniel would have to earn his place as her father-in-law if she ended up marrying Marcel. But then, that would be a problem for her future self. Right now, she had to concentrate on finding Chloe, more like, releasing her from the Spencers.

“So, who is this Reina Spencer?” She was curious to know.

.....

“Reina Princess Spencer, only daughter to Sakuzi Valentino Armani of the falcon gang and wife to Niklaus Spencer. Her father is a Mafia Lord, although he has been replaced by his foster son, Emerald, he still very much holds much power in the gang and the city and as you can probably surmise, she’s the wife to the business mogul, Niklaus Spencer. In one word, the family is a powerhouse and they hate us, Luciano, all thanks to my proud uncle Daniel, ” Victor explained with a bit of humor and Sarcasm.

“I know, Niklaus,” Mimi suddenly said, earning a stare from her boyfriend, and she rephrased her words at once, “I mean, I’ve heard of him. He was quite a player back in the days.”

Arianna looked at her friend in surprise, this was the first time she was hearing such gossip from Mimi and she had a feeling there was more to the story. Her friend was holding something back.

“Fine,” Mimi rolled her eyes when she saw the look Arianna gave her, ” I found out by accident that my mom actually dated the man back then when she had the thoughts of being a star.”

But Winters snickered with her laptop in her grasp, earning a glare from the young lady. She cupped her mouth, “No offense, but you might have to go have a DNA test done to confirm if you’re not his child. I mean, the man’s dating list would roll down from the spot where I stand to the entrance.“ She teased Mimi.

“Alright, we’re straying off the issue at hand,” Arianna decided to intervene before her vengeful friend took it personally. Winters can be a little direct and rude sometimes.

Arianna looked up at Marcel, “What did your father do that made them hate your family?” she wanted to know and maybe, from there, they would figure out a way to go about it.

“Well, what do you think? He created chaos as expected.” Marcel sneered, “Sakuzi and Daniel were intense competitors right from the start, however, father’s desire to succeed crossed the line when he assisted one of Spencer’s enemies, Miguel. His brother Gerald had been killed by Sakuzi when he was abroad for laying a finger on his daughter, Reina, hence he returned for revenge and he went to my power-hungry father for assistance.

“Daniel, of course, provided them with the weapons their money could afford. They raided Niklaus’ home, killing his men and almost harming his family but they were lucky to survive. It was a narrow escape from death. Sadly, Reina and her children aka Sakuzi’s grandchildren had been the ones held hostage, hence the man didn’t take it lightly when he found out the truth. It would have been a bloody war had the commission not stepped in and solved the issue.

“However, even if both parties ceased fire, the feud had already been established. Sakuzi hates Daniel and anyone else bearing the name, Luciano. And that is just one of the many, many people my father has offended.” Marcel explained to her.

Arianna nodded in understanding and turned to the others,” In one word, Reina doesn’t exactly hate your family, but her father, Sakuzi. Doesn’t that mean your sister is in safe hands, right? ”

“I wouldn’t exactly count on that,” Mimi argued, “Mothers are naturally protective and Daniel put her life and the life of her children in danger. If I were her, this is definitely my time for revenge,”

“But it happened years ago and as you said she’s a mother. Added to that, Reina is a philanthropist with a deep passion for children,” Winters read from her laptop, having pulled up the woman’s profile, “I’m sure she wouldn’t have the heart to kill an innocent child all because of an event that happened years past. Time heals all wounds.”

She added, “Also, if I could find Chloe’s whereabouts this easily, that means your father surely knows she’s with Spencer as well.”

“Winter’s right,” Victor supported her, “If the Spencers really meant to harm Chloe, they would have communicated with us already.”

“But yet, they haven’t,” Marcel argued, “What if they killed her quietly,” All he could think about was negative thoughts.

“What if Chloe doesn’t want to return?” Arianna suddenly asked, drawing everyone’s attention.

“What?” Marcel looked at her as if he couldn’t believe she was saying that.

Arianna licked her lower lips and went ahead to say to them, “I might have lived with my uncle but I spent most of my time at Mimi’s place because I felt at peace the most there. I mean, from what Winters said so far about Reina, she sounds like a good person. What if Chloe likes it there and doesn’t want to return here anymore? Remember, your father did kidnap her and you ....” She trailed off as if looking for the right word to complete that statement.

“Abandoned her,” Marcel said and that left a sour taste in his mouth.

“You lost her,” Arianna chose to say, her features softening, “The Marcel I know would never abandon the people he loves.” She spoke with conviction. He should stop being hard on himself.
