It didn’t help the fact that Victor’s line couldn’t be accessed either and that means two best friends worrying over their loved ones. The both of them knew deep down that wherever Marcel was, Victor was sure to follow. In one word, the both of them paced up and down the room in worry.

The least people Arianna was attracted to were military men because of the risk that comes with their occupation. Imagine the heartbreak that comes with hearing bad news like him dying while executing his duty. But then, who knew in the end that she wouldn’t even date one and yet worry endlessly about another man that wasn’t part of the military.

Instead, he was part of the Mafia and she still got tangled up in the same situation she dreaded. What Arianna feared the most finally caught up to her. Hence, it came as a huge relief to her when her phone finally rang and she looked down to discover that it was Marcel.

A breath away from answering the call, Arianna halted, her finger hovering over the accept button. What if this wasn’t Marcel, rather another person was calling to give her the bad news. Her breath quickened and cold sweat formed on her face. Arianna wasn’t sure that she was ready to face that. For Christ fucking sake, he promised that he was going to come back alive.

“Who is it?” Mimi came to her side, staring at the screen. She was on tenterhooks as well, waiting for news on Victor.

“Marcel?” Her hopes grew and before Arianna could even think of answering, Mimi already snatched the phone from her..

“Mimi, no -!”

However, Mimi didn’t look back and picked the call at once, saying, “Hello?”

.....

Arianna gulped, licking her lower lips as she waited for the news from her best friend. Perhaps, it was better if Mimi told her instead of hearing it first hand..

“Okay,” Mimi said, and pulled the phone from her ear.

“It’s Marcel,” She handed the phone to her and Arianna released the breath that she had been holding in all the while. He was okay. Marcel was safe. She had nothing to worry about.

“Hello….” Arianna said, her heart still pounding in her chest.

“I need your help.”

Oh no, the blood drained from Arianna’s face. She knew what that entailed. He must be injured.

“Don’t tell me you got shot?!” She gripped the phone so hard that her knuckles turned white. What was she going to do? She hoped that it wasn’t deadly. Well, the fact that he was still able to talk to her meant that he was okay. She hoped. Marcel was good at hiding his pain.

” It’s Victor….”

Arianna’s gaze flickered to her friend’s and she swallowed down nervously.

“What is it?” Mimi noticed her gaze and wasn’t comfortable with that look.

But Arianna put up her hand, gesturing that she was not through with her call and Mimi had no choice but to wait.

Mimi couldn’t help but feel that something was wrong and she knew Arianna long enough to know that she was hiding something from her.

“How bad is it?” She asked, careful not to unintentionally let out the secret.

“Very badly, he’s losing a lot of blood and we are currently at Ruth’s animal shop. Her hands are filled and she wants you here, Arianna.”

Damn it, Arianna didn’t know whether to be concerned that Victor was dying or the fact she was going back to the place where all of this began.

“Fine, I’ll be there immediately. ” Arianna said and was just about to end the call when Marcel said to her,

“Also, be careful. Richardo is still out there. I’ll tell you everything when you get here.”

“Good.” Was all Arianna said and ended the call only for Mimi to pepper her with questions right away.

“What’s going on? Did he say anything about Victor? Why can’t I get through with you? Where are you going?”

“Richardo is still alive. Marcel needs my help handling the injured and I need to get to Ruth’s place.”

“Ruth? Your former boss?”

“The one and only,” Arianna said, picking up her coat from the wardrobe because the night was cold.

“What about Victor? You have not answered me. Who is he not answering his phone?”

“Because he’s busy. I told you, there’s a lot of his men who are injured and have his hands filled at the moment.” She lied to Mimi. Her friend was pregnant and until she checked out the situation, Arianna wouldn’t put her under tension.

“I’m coming with you, I would be able to help you too,” Mimi decided.

“Thank you for your help, Mimi, but you’d be more of a liability to me there. Moreover, you’re pregnant and can’t be exposed to diseases or harmful substances. Trust me, Mimi.”

“But I can’t just stay here without knowing what the hell is happening. I can’t even get through to Victor and I’m so worried…”

Arianna hugged her friend tight, “It’s alright, Mimi. You have nothing to worry about and I’m sure Victor would not appreciate you worrying this much. You have your baby to think about now. I’ll keep you posted and make sure nothing happens to him.” She promised her.

When Arianna made it out of the room, she nearly bumped into her mother on the way.

“Where are you going?” Natalie asked, looking at her from her head to her feet and observing her appearance.

“Something happens and Marcel needs me.” Arianna saw it was no use lying to her mother and if she were to be honest, her mother’s help would be needed as well.

“What’s happened?” Natalie noticed that something was wrong.

“I need your help, mother. No, Marcel needs your help,” She requested nervously and just when Arianna thought her mother would turn it down, Natalie said,

“Where is he?”
