Loving the Italian Mafia Boss

Unfortunate Events

Mira's POV

Dream flashback*

I ran down the vineyard in my white night gown. His footsteps were getting closer. I turned and ran into the grapes. I saw the warehouse and made a run for it.

The door was open and I shut it tight behind me locking it. He started banging on the door multiple times. I hid behind the wine barrel when the door is barged in.

I look up into his eyes and his dark smile still haunts me. Right when he grabbed my arm I flinched.

I woke up from the terrible dream. I was sweating and shaking. I looked over and saw Roman asleep facing me. I let out a breath of relief and scooted over closer to him. I kissed his lips lightly and fell asleep when his arms landed on my back pulling me.

Roman went back to work and I was still in bed. I got up took a quick shower and got ready. I wore dark jeans and a light pink dressy shirt.
I put on my shoes and went downstairs.

I walked into the kitchen and poured myself a cup of coffee. I grabbed a muffin and sat down at the table.

Carmen soon walked in cheerful.

"Goodmorning sweety!"

"Good morning Carmen."

"Mira would you like to go shopping with me today? I want bonding time with you before Roman gets home because he doesn't know how to share."

"Sure let me grab my phone and wallet."

I ran upstairs and grabbed my things. It was kind of cold so I put on a black coat.

Roman advised me not to leave the house without guards so I had to find them. We got into the car and another SUV followed us out.

We drove to the mall and I parked close to the entrance. We walked around until Carmen pulled me into Victoria's Secret.

"Why don't we shop for some lotions and lingerie?" She had a smirk on her face and grabbed a bag to fill up.

I looked around and looked mostly at the underwear section. I need more since Roman likes to savagely rip them off.

I threw in at least 10 pairs and looked for matching bras. I grabbed a couple of perfumes and was done. Carmen came back with a silky robe and more lingerie. She shoved them in the bag with a grin on her face.

"These are really cute. Let's go pay."

I didn't even say anything and followed her. I pulled out my card and refused to let her pay.

We walked out and she hugged me by the side.

"I missed this. Shopping. Rose hates shopping with me. She says I go all out."

"I don't know what she's talking about."

We both burst out in laughter walked around the mall more until we got thirsty, so we stopped at a café.

I ordered a peach tea and Carmen got a black coffee. As we were chatting I couldn't shake the weird feeling of being watched. I looked around and didn't see anyone out of the ordinary.

Until I saw a man with a black hat and black sunglasses. He was staring straight at us. When I kept staring he turned his focus on something else.

"Carmen we need to go."

"What's wrong sweety?"

"Something isn't right. I called over the guards and told them we needed to leave."

We walked outside and a car pulled up. Then more men came out of the mall behind us. There was too many of them and they outnumbered us 4.

A tall muscular man grabbed Carmen and held a gun to her head. She screamed and he held his hand over her mouth.

"Please don't hurt her!"

Suddenly someone else walks out of the car with a woman, Carolina and Roberto.

"Well. Well. We meet once again. I told you it's fate."

"What do you want Roberto?"

"I want to make Roman suffer. I want to take his dear mother only, but since you're here I'll make a deal."

"Anything just let her go."

"I will, if you take her place instead Mira."

"If I go without a fight she leaves unharmed."

I could hear Carmen's muffled voice in the man's hand.

He let her go and back away.

"Sweety please. I'll go instead, Roman can't lose you. He'll lose his mind without you!"

"He lost his brother already and he can't lose his mother too."

I started tearing up and I turned around to get in the car. I looked out the window and the driver turns around and knocks me out when he hits me on the side of my head with his gun.

I woke up and I felt cold chains on my foot. I was in the floor leaning against a concrete wall. I looked around the room, it seemed like a basement. It was kind of dark and I couldn't see that well.

A sharp pain came from my head. I touched it and it was wet. There was blood streaming down. Some of it was dry so I must have been here for a couple of hours.

I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. The lights were turned on and my eyes went a little blurry. My eyes finally adjusted and saw Roberto with Carolina.

What is she doing here?

"I'm sure Roman knows I have you now. I want to break him first before I make a move."

I couldn't even look at him. My neck was too tired to look up. I was trying to stay strong, but I was getting sleepy. I heard Carolina's voice before I became unconscious.

"You need a doctor to check her head or she'll die. Then this will all be for nothing. You won't get your girl and I won't get my man back."

Roman's POV

I was searching online for places to vacation to take Mira and my mother.

My door is swung open and I ran over to my mother. She was crying and tried to control herself.

"Mamma?! What's wrong? Where's Mira?"

"R-Roman.....the..they took Mira."

"What?! WHO?!"

The guards come in with their heads down.

"Boss, they outnumbered us and-"

"WHO TOOK HER?!"

"Roberto Sir."

I wiped my mother's tears and told the guards to get out.

"Are you okay mamma?"

"Ye-yes. She agreed to go with them if they let me go."

I held her tight one last time and told her to go upstairs. I needed to make a plan to attack and get Mira back.

I called Mira's parents and brothers. I explained what happened and they were on their way immediately.

As soon as they arrived we called more men for back up. Dante and Enzo had told me that she had a tracker on her necklace. We got the location and we began to get armed.

If I have to kill every person in this city to find her, I'll do it.

I felt guilty. If I wouldn't have involved myself with her, she would have a stress free life. I was so selfish for only thinking about my feelings.

But I'm in love with her and can't let her go.
