The Billionaire Mafia
The Excessive Anxiety
Inside the VIP room was suddenly gripping as the three cold men clashed with each other through their respective gazes. Especially Arthur who from the beginning was openly against the man to approach his sister. He sharpened his eyes because he failed to make Mikel leave from there.
"What's wrong with you guys?" Aurelie's voice split the gripping atmosphere. How not, among the three men no one opened his voice first. Just clashing with each other's sharpness, making him careless surrounded by cold but handsome men.
"You've seen it for yourself if Elie's okay, so you can get out of here!" Arthur did not heed the question of his sister and instead threw words that meant to expel.
"That...." Mommy Elleana looked as if she was reprimanding her son. He wondered when his son had become disrespectful to others. "Don't listen to Ar, he's just kidding." Mommy Elleana is really bad for Mikel. As much as possible he pinned a smile so that Mikel was not cornered by the two favorite men. Fortunately Austin was not in the hospital because he was busy writing the script. If they had gathered, perhaps the treatment room would have turned into the defendant's room.
"I'm not kidding, Mom!" arthur exclaimed on the back of his rough breathing. Mommy Elleana again gave a warning to her son in her buying eyes.
Mikel smiled in response. "No problem, ma'am. I'm used to being in situations like this." Indeed Mikel's face does not show that he was offended or feeling cornered. He had to show Arthur and Uncle Xavier if he wasn't a weak man who trembled just because he was given a stare of emphasis.
"Ck, don't look at my wife for more than five seconds!" Though the view of Daddy Xavier was fixed on the screen of his phone, but he was like getting a signal when someone was staring at his wife for more than five seconds.
Mikel's patience is really being tested. Although he used to get used to Uncle Xavier's attitude, but somehow he felt that the middle-aged man was really annoying. It's even so annoying.
Elie gave a smile, he realized that Mikel was trying to suppress his feelings. Wrong himself why dabbling came and moreover it turns out that Mikel had known his identity from the Romanov Family.
"God, I forgot my vitamins." Mommy Elleana's call distracts everyone. Mommy Elleana turned to her husband and suddenly confused because all eyes were on him. "Hubby, I think I should go to the pharmacy on the ground floor of the hospital." Mommy Elleana smiled awkwardly, she then stood up. He should not miss taking vitamins because it will have an impact on his body that will become weak.
Hearing the wife going to the pharmacy, making Daddy Xavier also rise and approach his wife. "I'll be with you Sweety." The impossible thing for Daddy Xavier to do is to let his wife go alone. So wherever the wife goes, she must follow rather than have far apart.
"All right...." In order not to cause prolonged drama, Mommy Elleana allowed her husband to accompany her.
The two then left the room after saying goodbye to the ground floor of the hospital. And after the death of the two middle-aged married couples, awkwardness re-encompassed, both Arthur and Mikel really do not want to talk to each other. Until the sound of the ringing of the phone sounds so echoed because the room in there looks quiet like an empty room even though there are residents.
Because he thought the call was secret, so Arthur decided to answer the call outside the room, leaving Aurelie with Mikel who had not scrolled in the other direction, it was only the face of the woman that she truly missed.
"I'm glad you're okay." The sound of Mikel was full of tenderness. Anxiety about his woman's condition that might worsen had squeezed his chest. But as soon as he saw it firsthand, Mikel breathed full of relief.
Elie did not answer. He seemed silent for a moment, as if something was troubling his mind. Until then his eyes tried to reach Mikel's gaze that did not move from him.
"Why are you pretending you don't know my identity? Have you been laughing at me all this time?" Elie smiled bitterly. He should have known that a man like Mikel couldn't possibly not know his true background.
"Do I look like I've been laughing at you all this time, hm?" Mikel tried to cut the distance between them by shifting the chair he was currently sitting on.
Elie was unmoved and indifferent. I don't know, he really can't guess the thoughts and even the contents of the man's heart.
Elie tried to hide the red hue that was poking out on her face by throwing her gaze towards the window that exposed the clear sky.
"I have a good reason. You'll know someone's true nature if you don't have anything. They'll adore you because they know you have a lot of money. They don't really want to be friends with you. I don't understand why social status is a benchmark for a person in choosing a friend or life partner." Elie answered after trying to neutralize the mimic of his face as before. Right, that was the reason he had hidden his identity. It is evident that no friend really wants to be good friends with him. All only comes when the middle of need only and does not care if he is always plagued by problems due to those who consider themselves too much as enemies. Though all this time Elie tried to be submissive, but still her social status became the cause of her underestimated.
Mikel smiled, I don't know what the woman had gone through so he could think so. But it makes him more amazed and adds to his love for the woman. Elie who used to be so spoiled and so insensitive to her surroundings could change so much and that impressed her so much.
Without warning, Mikel stood up and held the woman tightly so that she gasped in surprise.
"Why embrace me?" Elie tried to push Mikel's chest, but it felt useless because the hold was getting strengthened. He could even feel Mikel's heavy sigh in the recess of his neck, as if there was anxiety there, and that made Elie worry about him. "What's wrong?" tanyanya. I don't know, Elie felt that if he knew Mikel very well, so that just from the man's body language alone, he could already guess if something was bothering the man's mind.
"Don't leave me" Mikel said in his increasingly strengthened embrace. "Do you know that I'm so scared to see you don't breathe anymore."
"Mikel, i...." Elie knew what Mikel was talking about. Especially if it is not about her who almost drowned and this man who was holding her who had saved her. "About that, I'm very grateful. Thanks to you I survived and still breathe to this day." Elie's palm was about to pat Mikel on the back, but was stopped because Mikel suddenly released his embrace.
Mike lifted the woman's chin so that their eyes met, before then staring at the woman's face intensely.
"You know that I love you so much, so don't make me worry about you." Mikel's palm then rubbed Elie's cheek gently. "I guess if your sister assigns some bodyguards to look after you because I won't be able to keep an eye on you."
Elie tried to feel what Mikel was trying to convey through his advice. But nil, he really could not read any of the contents of the man's mind.
Currently Mikel is not okay and experience excessive anxiety. Moreover, he had just raised a war flag against his uncle who might now be looking for his whereabouts and was certainly trying to avenge his son's death. Mikel does not want to involve anyone, let him finish everything even if he has to sacrifice his life though.
