Chapter 154



Oh.

Victor?

Mimi looked up to see Victor coming towards her and as much as she wanted to take a step back, her feet were unable to obey her commands. It wasn’t long before he was standing before her without doing anything – they just stared at each other like morons.

Suddenly, he reached towards her and Mimi instinctively shut her eyes thinking he was about to hit her or something for skipping work the past few days.

Honestly, Victor didn’t look like the type that could hurt women, judging from the way he “loved” them, however, Mimi thought she knew everything about them until the truth of them being Mafians was revealed to her. So yeah, she knows nothing about him anymore.

Indeed, Mimi felt Victor’s hands on her cheeks, but instead of hurting her, he was caressing her cheeks, or so she thought.

Mimi first opened an eye before the other, only to see that Victor had rubbed off a red spot from her cheek with his thumb only to bring it to his mouth. That was when Mimi realized that it was blood.

Oh no.

.....

At first, curiosity was in his gaze when he brought the thumb to his mouth, only for his expression to distort in the next seconds and a cringe on his face as he spat out, “Gosh, that’s not ketchup,”

Mimi was horrified as she stared at Victor, was something wrong with his head? Of course, it was blood, why would he think it was ketchup when he was the one that shot him in the first place?!

That was when it finally dawned on Mimi that she had a dead body by her side.

“Oh my God! Oh my God!” She panicked, realizing a life was just wasted right in front of her. A mother’s son died because of her carelessness.

Mimi turned to Victor with a look of despair mixed with horror, “You just killed him!” gesturing to the corpse that had a hole in the middle of its head, blood spilling out profusely.

Victor looked down at the body she was pointing at and blinked twice before turning to her with a blank stare, “And?” He didn’t look bothered one bit as if it was a normal thing.

“And?” Mimi threw her head back and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Gosh, I’m doomed.” she concluded.

Mimi laughed hysterically, beginning to pace back and forth restlessly while trying hard not to stare at the corpse that had its eyes still open.

Charlie’s eyes were focused at a spot – at her – without the light in them. Mimi knew this image of him wouldn’t leave her mind anytime soon. It would haunt her for the rest of her life.

She bit her fingers nervously still walking back and forth saying, “The police are going to come after me, they would arrest and charge me for kidnapping and -”

“You would be surprised at how much the police aren’t interested in cases that involve gang members. It’s probably a murder committed by a rival gang, they would think.”

“Only that the murder was committed by you and I would be charged as an accomplice,” Mimi told him pointedly.

“Sorry sweetheart but I didn’t commit murder,”

Mimi glared at him, “And you did what exactly?”

“Self defense, love,” Victor said with an air of righteousness, “I just witnessed the rascal trying to end a pretty damsel’s life and like a knight in shining armors stepped in to save the night,” He added, “And the lady.”

But Mimi refuted that claim, “Sorry, but you’re no knight in shining armor, you’re just a criminal,” she said through gritted teeth.

Victor snorted laughter, “Says the righteous, innocent-looking citizen who just committed the crime of kidnapping that eventually led to murder,”

Mimi gulped upon the realization that she was the one who led Charlie to his death. Victor might have pulled the trigger but she was the one who really killed him.

Victor took a step closer until they were staring into each other’s eyes, their breaths mingling together, “It’s funny how much you abhor our lifestyle yet adopted the same methods of the dark side when you needed your problem solved. Proves the saying there’s just a thin line between good and bad,” He rubbed her hypocrisy at her face.

She was a bad person, after all, Mimi thought. In her haste to save her friend, she hasn’t thought of other people and the consequences of her actions, now a person was dead because of her.

A tear slipped down her cheek, followed by another on the other cheek, but Victor was quick to wipe them away, “If it makes you feel better then you should know that everybody makes mistakes. Moreover, Charlie had to die anyway, if there’s anything to note about people like us, it’s the fact we are driven by vengeance. He would have come after you and trust me, you won’t have anything left after that – including your beloved parents.”

A shiver went down Mimi’s spine at the thought of losing her parents because of her stupid mistake. She looked at Charlie, now she thought about it, he was a bad person and she just did the world a favor by getting rid of him.

“And you can relax, I’ve destroyed every piece of evidence that could be traced back to you when his body is found,” He said to her.

Mimi’s head jerked up, surprised at Victor’s show of kindness. However, her eyes narrowed at him suspiciously, “Why would you do that? Would I need to pay you back in any form? My body?”

Victor sighed, “You think too much,” However, a sleazy smile soon formed on his lips, “Of course, there’s a catch,”

Mimi knew it, nothing can ever be free from Victor. It was give and take. But for the sake of her family, she would do it.

So taking a deep breath, she asked, “What is it?”

Victor gave her that crazy smile that could only mean nothing good can come out of this.

He said, “Your mother’s food,”

“What?”
