456 The Wedding

With the way his face was pushed into Marcel’s chest like a child being cradled to his mother’s breast, Victor has been tempted to bite Marcel’s nipple hard enough for him to stop fucking around with him. However, his cousin was a bad motherfucker and would likely drop him to the ground with nothing to break his fall. So Victor respected himself by letting go of the grudges. It was enough that Marcel was helping him out and couldn’t piss him off.

By the time Marcel got him into his room, Victor only had to contend with keeping up with his act as his mother was determined to check if he was injured. He didn’t hear Mimi’s worried voice anymore and he guessed that Marcel already whispered to her that he was okay.

He couldn’t tell how much time passed, but when Victor felt like his acting was enough, he finally opened his eyes with a groan. Damn, he should have been an actor, instead of the Mafia. Any chances Marcel would let him go pursue his sudden dream of acting?

With his, talent, Victor knew he would be bringing home the bucks in no time while the nation chanted his name and fans ran after him. Damn, he was going to be famous and his second cousin Cindy would be jealous as hell seeing that his name is more known. Everyone in the family knew she had a superiority complex. God helps any man that ends up with her in the name of marriage.

“Son...” Carmine was up in no time, checking up on him, “Are you okay? Do you need help?”

“No, mama, I’m good,” He said tiredly and coughing suddenly, only for a glass of water to appear in his line of sight and he glanced up to see Mimi handing the glass with a look that told him he was definitely doing her ass later. Yeah, his mother wasn’t the only one he needed to appease now.

“Thank you,” He accepted the water and moisturized his parched throat and at the same time, glanced around to see Marcel was still in the room, staring at him with a look that spelled I-Know-What-You-Did-Last- Summer.

However, his attention was demanded when Carmine cupped his face, “I’m so sorry my little sunshine,” She apologized, “I should have known that the reason you haven’t visited was that you were having a tough time. No wonder, you look so lean,” She then turned to Marcel with a deadly glare, “Don’t tell me that you have been overworking my son?”

However, Marcel put up his hand defensively, but that mischievous smile clung to the corner of his lips as he said, “You know I love Victor as much as you love him, aunty. Perhaps, all he needs is a shot, should I call the doctor?”

.....

That bastard! Victor ground his jaw hard, Marcel knew how much he hated needles, and yet he was teasing him with it.

“Perhaps, all I need is a little rest and a little meal from you my lovely cousin to replenish my lost energy,” Seeing all you do is order me around, Victor might not have said that out loud but the suggestion was thick in the air. He’d see how Marcel gets out of that one especially when his mother insists.

But Marcel was a smart bastard and quickly spoke up before his mother could say a word. Everyone in the family knew how tenacious Carmine can be.

“Don’t worry, I’d have Beatrice make you something good, and then your girlfriend can feed you while you replenish your lost energy, don’t you think so, Mimi?”

Beat that!

Marcel grinned, bringing the attention back to Mimi.

Carmine’s eyes shot to Mimi and the girl answered nervously,” Yes,I would. ” feeling uncomfortable under her scrutiny. Victor’s mother had completely forgotten about her thanks to the drama from earlier and now, it was the beginning all again.

“I’ll leave you all to have a happy family reunion then,” Marcel took off after fanning the flames.

As soon as Marcel left, Carmine turned to face Mimi and the girl braced herself waiting for the woman to warn her off her son, “Did my son kidnap you here?”

“What?” The question left her dumbfounded instead.

Carmine went ahead to explain, “I’ve been keeping tabs on him, and most of the time, he’s with you. Unfortunately, I know my son and he can never stick to one woman which could only leave me to one conclusion, he brought you here as his plaything, you son of a biscuit!” The woman’s gaze hardened once again and she moved to hit Victor whose eyes widened instantly only for Mimi to get in between them and stop her.

“It’s not like that, mother,” Mimi quickly defended him.

However, the woman raised a brow at her, “Mother?”

“Oh, you want me to refer to you with the full name then,” Mimi definitely misunderstood her confusion, “It’s not like that, mother-in-law, Victor did not kidnap me or anything, we are just a couple,” Although he did kidnap me once, Mimi knew saying that would only add fuel to the flame.

“Mother-in-law?” Carmine choked out, looking like she would suffer from an aneurysm soon while Mimi looked on with confusion.

By the time she recovered, Carmine pointed to the both of them, “The both of you are a couple?” She didn’t seem to believe it.

Mimi nodded, biting down on her lower lips as she felt suddenly nervous. The woman was Victor’s mother and she hoped to make a good impression even though the drama from earlier warned her never to get on the woman’s bad side.

“Bontà gentile!” The woman suddenly lifted her hands towards heaven as if she was thanking them or something, before moving to Victor and cupping his face and started showering his face with kisses, “Boy! You finally make me proud!”

Victor was clearly embarrassed but before he could comment on it, Carmine was onto Mimi next and showered her with kisses and hugged her tight. When they parted, Carmine was booming with happiness,

“You’re welcome to the family my dear,” She then turned to her son, “So when’s the wedding?”

Shoot her.
