725 Point The Gun At Ezra
Damn, she has made a huge mistake, Mimi realized as she stared at Victor and Ezra about to tear each other apart.
How did this even happen?
Wellâ¦.
______
âOuch!â Mimi screamed as soon as Ezra knocked into her, pushing her to the ground even though she had been the one who intentionally stepped in his way. But then, Ezra doesnât know that.
Seeing Ezra take out Elijah who made no effort to defend himself knowing that he was in the wrong â righteous bastard â Mimi knew that it was only a matter of time before he went after Arianna and couldnât let that happen.
The tension between the Draven and Luciano families was none of her business, all that mattered to her was the future of the two young lovers about to get separated by their family feud. Arianna and Marcel must get together tonight, Mimi was determined to make that happen and so she played her card well.
âMy waist!â Mimi shouted when she fell. No, that was not right. âMy stomach!â she shouted instead, knowing that aspect of her body would catch their attention faster.
As determined as Ezra was to catch Arianna, that resolution vanished when he saw Mimi on the ground and it was all because of him.
.....
âMimi!â He was by her side in the twinkle of an eye, âWhatâs wrong with you?â He asked with a worried expression.
âI donât know⦠ahh, I think my back, no, my stomach hurt!â Mimi complained about her innocent baby when it was just a small pain in her back.
âMimi!â Elijah was by her side as well, looking completely pale like a vampire. He was so frightened.
Damn, Mimi was proud of her acting skills. Perhaps, she should venture into the acting industry after the birth of her baby. This great talent of hers shouldnât go to waste.
âWhatâs wrong with you?â Elijah was frantic. Apparently, both of them didnât know how to handle an injured pregnant woman.
âYou need to get me to a hospital, my baby canât die just like that,â Mimi cried out, improvising further and that was enough to make the brothers panic and listen to her command. Not to mention that her acting was so impressive that it drew a crowd as well.
âYes, hospital!â Elijah rushed to get the car started while Ezra carried Mimi off the ground without being told.
Wow, the strength! Mimi bit back the squeal that almost left her lips and pretended to be in pain instead. But damn, it felt good to be treated like a princess; she enjoyed it.
In the twinkle of an eye, Ezra carefully placed her inside the car while Elijah raced to the hospital like a madman. But then as fun as the acting was, it was quite tiring because she had to continue with her pained expression.
Not to mention that she had nearly burst into laughter when she saw Ezraâs expression. It was hard to believe that both of the brothers fell for that. But then, anything for Arianna â Ezra didnât even remember her anymore.
Unfortunately for Mimi, she has no idea that Victor sent people to keep an eye on her since he doesnât trust her being alone with the Draven family. As much as Victor knew Arianna would not let anything happen to Mimi, it was the members of the Draven family that he didnât trust around his woman.
Now, news got back to Victor that one of the brothers hurt Mimi and he immediately left everything that he was doing to get to her, his heart in his throat. Victor was anxious, his eyes red with anger, he would kill whoever laid a hand on Mimi. He doesnât care whatever negotiation Marcel planned to have with them, he would destroy them all.
âDoctor, what is wrong with her?â Ezra and Elijah crowded the man and the doctor didnât even know who to answer directly.
âThe baby is safe and the mother is fine. All she needs is quality rest and making sure she doesnât carry out any strenuous activity in the future. And now, if you would excuse me, gentlemen,â
The doctor left them before they could bother him with more questions. Elijah and Ezra both towered over him and the poor doctor felt so intimated being stuck in the middle.
Suddenly, the door behind them was opened and Mimi stepped out, glaring at them. Who knew they would take her acting so seriously enough to have her moved to a private room?
She was fine! She had been acting all along! The words were right on the tip of her tongue, but Mimi didnât dare to say them. She did not know how they reacted to being fooled â and she didnât want to find out.
âWhat are you doing? Go back to bed right now!â Ezra commanded her.
âI told you that Iâm fine already,â Mimi whined, almost close to crying. She canât spend the night at the hospital. Boohoo! This must be karma paying her back for fooling them. Why was karma so quick in judgment this time?
âListen to him, Mimi,â Elijah tried to convince her, âYou might feel fine, but who knows something might be wrong and you might not be able to feel it now, but later. You should at least spend the night here so the doctor can observe your condition and you leave tomorrow, okay?â
Spend the night where? Observe what condition? Leave when? Tomorrow?! That was impossible. Victor would know if she doesnât return home today and Mimi did not want the complication considering she had been faking it all along.
However, bad luck always has a nice timing because Victor appeared out of nowhere and Mimi thought she conjured him or something until she saw his furious look.
Oh no.
She was doomed.
Victor looked like an angel of death as he strode towards them in the hallway, his features so flawless yet coldly lethal. Victor lacked warmth and Mimi had never seen him looking so dead inside that her heart skipped a bit and it wasnât out of excitement.
âVictorâ¦.â
She tried to stop him but it was too late because Victor already landed a heavy punch on Ezraâs face, right before he pulled out his gun and pointed it at Ezra.
Mimi nearly fainted.
