Mia Romano looked out at the preparations for her wedding. There were tons of workers decorating the compound for the wedding. She was to be married at St. Isidore Roman Catholic Church in Riverhead, NY with the reception being held at her family compound on Quogue, Long Island. Her wedding was to be the biggest in the mafia world. She was the only daughter of Domenico Romano, one of the bosses of the five families in the mafia world. She had five brothers, Justin, Arturo, Evan and Larenzo who each were in the business their father was. Mia had no knowledge about the illegal activity her father and brothers were involved in.
As she watched the wedding preparations she thought about her future husband, Wade Barrett. They had known each other since they were little. Where Mia knew nothing about her family business, Wade knew everything in his. Wade was the third son of Benjamin Barrett. He was the boss of one of the five families also.
Mia didn't know when they were younger that it was preordained that she would marry him. It was a marriage to unite two of the most powerful crime families in the country and in Sicily. She thought back to the moment she knew that she loved him. They had been on vacation in Sicily. They had shared a first kiss on the grounds of the Villa Sophia, her family's Sicily compound. After that, she knew she wanted to married him.
After she graduated from college, she went to work as an assistant editor in a publishing house. She was shocked when Wade asked her to marry him a year later. They had never discussed marriage before he asked. But she knew it was the right thing.
She smiled when she looked down at the 4ct. pear shaped center diamond with two 1/2ct. pear shaped diamonds on the side platinum engagement ring.
"You look deep in thought." Justin, one of her brothers, said walking up.
"Just thinking about the wedding. I'm nervous." She said turning to face him.
"Don't be. You are going to be a beautiful bride and have a happy life."
"I hope so." She smiled.
"I heard dad gave you guys the gate house?"
"Yes. He said it was perfect and that he wanted us to be in the compound like you guys."
"It's just safer Mia. You know dad has a lot of business associate who like to play rough." Justin knew that they were pretty much forbidden to tell her much about the business. She knew they were powerful but she had no idea what everyone in the family had done.
"I know."
"Something else on your mind?"
"I'm just nervous about the wedding and then being married. What if I suck at being a wife?"
"You won't." Justin hugged his sister.
"Alright, Justin get to the bachelor party." Their mother said walking up. She wanted to spend the night with her daughter and talk to Mia about marriage.
"I'm gone." Justin quickly left.
After he left, Mia followed her mother to get try on the wedding dress that had been designed for her and especially made for her. Her mother had contacted one of the biggest designers in Italy to do the dress.
"Mia, that dress is perfect." Rosa Romano said to her daughter.
"Thanks." Mia smiled as she looked in the mirror. She was wearing a Satin A-line Halter with split front, beaded lace and lace up back with a champagne color sash. The veil was made of illusion attached to a crystal tiara.
"You're going to a beautiful bride and have a wonderful life with Wade." Rosa smiled.
She agreed with her husband about Mia's wedding and his decision to keep Mia in the dark about the business. She just thought her family owned a vineyard in Sicily and the olive oil company.
"Mom, what if I suck at being a wife?" Mia asked turning to face her.
"You won't. Just remember what you were taught." Rosa and Domenico had sent their only daughter to boarding school in Italy to make sure she was not involved in the business. "We taught you everything you need to know. You just follow the commandants you were taught and you will be okay."
"Alright." Mia smiled and went back to looking in the mirror. "I need to get ready for the rehearsal and dinner."
"Alright." Rosa said helping her daughter take off the wedding dress.
They were soon on their way to the church for the rehearsal. Then everyone was going to a nearby Italian restaurant for dinner.
John Cena sat in the office of the house listening to his father. He was upset over the upcoming wedding of Mia Romano and Wade Barrett. He didn't want the Romano's and the Barrett's to join forces. The wedding would unite the two most powerful families and that was something John Cena Sr. didn't want.
"Alright boys, we have to stop this wedding." John Sr. said as he was talking to his sons, John, Randy and Ted.
"Dad, how do you expect us to stop this wedding?" Ted asked him.
"I have a plan Theodore." He replied.
"What exactly is your plan, dad?" John asked.
"We are going to kidnap the bride." John Sr said with a smile. "We will take her to the Villa Catalina in Sicily. She will stay there."
"For how long?" Randy asked.
"As long as it takes. I will not allow Ben and Dom to unite their families." John Sr poured himself a scotch and walked to sit down behind his desk. "Boys, do you understand how wanted Mia Romano is? She is the only daughter of Dom. She is the only daughter throughout the five families. Every Don wants her to marry one of their sons to unite the families."
"But she is engaged to Wade and what I understand she does love him." Ted replied.
"It was planned that way. When Wade and Mia were younger, their fathers decided they would marry. Ben and Dom made sure that Mia fell in love with Wade. I don't think Wade really loves her. He wants her power."
"Isn't that what you want?" John asked his dad.
"I only want to stop the uniting of Ben and Dom's families." He took a drink. "Now, here is the plan. We will go to the church tomorrow and take Mia. We will use cholform to knock her out and then John, you and Randy, will place her on the jet and take her to Sicily. Natalie will go too. I want you to make her comfortable and take care of her. No harm to her, understand?"
"Yes, dad." John replied.
"Good. Ted and I will stay here and make sure no one knows who took her."
"Dad, what do you expect us to do with her?" Randy asked.
"I expect you to talk to her. I know for a fact that she knows nothing about her family's business. I expect you to change that. Tell her exactly what her family is capable of." He turned to John. "John, you will be the main one with her at all times. I want you to rarely leave her side. Do you understand?"
"Yes, sir."
"Good. Dismissed. Let's get things together to do a kidnapping."
After leaving his father's office, John headed to his room. He had to pack for the trip to Sicily. He knew that he and Randy had a long trip ahead of them to Sicily and then taking care of Mia. He had only seen her once. She was very beautiful. Far too beautiful for Wade Barrett. But she was sheltered from the mafia world and he had to wonder what she was really like.
