Taken By The Mafia Lord

450 Trust Anyone But Him

Everyone settled down, but Arianna still didn’t get to know what Winters does behind closed doors in that room. But she didn’t push her anyway knowing each of them here had one or two secrets they wanted to keep to themself – she didn’t tell Marcel about Elijah and her plans. Moreover, she chose to believe that whatever the girl’s doing is for their good. Yes, Winters is smart and not stupid enough to betray Marcel.

“You said you found out something,” Marcel was impatient to hear the news.

“Yes, I think I’ve found a way to get us into Niklaus’ place,”

As soon as Winters revealed that news, there was a tense silence and they all looked at one another in anticipation.

Winters said, “God must really be on our side because it turns out that their housekeeper Amanda had an injury and is unable to perform while the kid’s nanny quit less than five hours after employment. Unfortunately, Reina is in desperate need of a nanny because her daughter Isabella is having her kids’ birthday soon and mommy dearest needs to spend time with her daughter to plan the party! ” Winters feigned excitement and when no one laughed at her dry sense of humor, she cleared her throat and went on, “Where do you think that leaves us?”

“We apply for the nanny position,” Arianna figured out.

“Bingo,” Winters snapped her finger in approval.

“Definitely, not you though,” Marcel disapproved Arianna from going and that pissed her off instantly.

“Are you for real?” He can’t continue keeping her here, all because he loved her and wanted her away from danger.

.....

But Marcel said to her, “Listen to me, Arianna, I’m not trying to cage you, but Reina is not stupid. She loves her children and would definitely do a background check on them and if she found out that you’re related somehow to me, I don’t want to think about what she would do.”

“I think Marcel is right on that one and remember, unlike the last time, Marcel can’t break into that place to rescue you.” Victor supported him.

“You know, you could still do this the easy way by simply meeting up with Niklaus,” Arianna said to him.

Marcel sighed with a deep breath, “Arianna, we’ve talked about that already and I told you what my father did and -”

“I know, Marcel, but it’s been years already,” She argued, “And who knows, Niklaus might have forgiven and forgotten it already and he’s merely waiting for a brave Luciano, probably not your father, but you, to extend an olive branch.”

“Nice idea, but we are not working with a hypothesis,” Marcel said, irritation beginning to show on his face.

“But Marcel -”

“Enough!” He snapped at her unintentionally and her features hardened. Oh no. He has done it again, wonderful.

“Fine. Suit yourself then, my lord,” Arianna answered coldly, her words dripping with sarcasm as she turned to leave.

“Arianna,” Marcel grabbed onto her arm but she pulled free and stormed away, leaving him to wallow in regret.

Marcel felt the telltale of a headache brewing and pinched the bridge of his nose. No one told him a relationship was this hard? It would have been much easier if she just obeyed his command? Yeah, you want a woman without an opinion, Marcel? Even his consciousness was beginning to taut him.

It wasn’t until he noticed the awkward silence in the room that Marcel found out that everyone had paused on his behalf.

“Go ahead, please,” He told them while Victor, his henchman, shook his head in sympathy. Yeah, cousin, he was way over his head in this relationship.

Winters said, “Since Arianna has been ruled out of the picture, I’m guessing it’s just Mimi and I applying for the position of nanny then.” She surmised and saw no disagreement in their expression.

But Mimi was the first to raise her hand in question, “So from what I learned so far, the Spencer’s quite an influential family, and I’m sure many other women want that position of nanny unless you got the news exclusively of course. Even at that, what is the probability we are going to be chosen? I mean, do I need to add any special skill to my CV?” She wanted to be sure.

“I said earlier that luck must be shining on us because Reina’s children are notoriously known in the city for their pranks and they are even called the daredevils. That is why their mother is finding a nanny who is not afraid of losing her life in the process. Good for us, we are desperate enough to be their nanny. ” Winters summarized.

“Are they really that bad?” Victor asked, concerned for Mimi. Kids or not, he would start a war with the Spencers if anything happened to his girlfriend.

“Well...” Winters said, going through her phone, “From the reports so far, no nanny has lost their life and in the kid’s most extreme prank so far, a nanny ended up losing her hair in the process...” She paused, then muttered under her breath as she went through the photos of the unlucky nanny, “Geez, I love my hair.”

“Maybe, we should wear a wig?” Mimi suggested.

“Yeah, great idea. That would make us look less suspicious.” Winters said

“Reina knows her kids, she would probably understand.”

“No one is losing their hair or their life,” Marcel spoke up after a long time, “The plan is to find if my sister resides in that house and get her the fuck out of there. Once you both confirm she’s there, you don’t need to stay to the end of it and can just use the excuse of the kid’s pranks to get out of there. It’s not a long-term job. ”

“And if she indeed resides there, what’s next? You break into the place?” Winters knew that was not a great idea.

“We’d figure it out, that’s for sure.”

“What if I talk to your sister once I find her, try to convince her to leave with us or something?” Mimi suggested.

“She would never leave with you,” Marcel told her with conviction, “I taught her never to trust anyone but me.”
