Wade arrived at the airport in Rome, Italy. The tip said that she was in Rome. Justin and Evan watched Wade leave the plane and followed him from a distance. They headed out the car waiting for them and were joined by Alex Riley. He was part of their organization in Rome.
"We received the tip also about Mia in Rome but I have seen no sign of her." Alex said as they followed Wade.
"The tip only said she was in Rome. I just hope we find her before Wade does." Justin said. "Have you heard who may have her?"
"We haven't heard but the rumor is it is one of the other families."
"Well if it was Wade's, we would know." Evan replied.
"Unless this whole show was to cover." Alex said. "We have eyes all over the city and have seen no sign of Mia."
Justin and Evan sighed. Where was their sister and was she okay? They worried she was hurt. Why else would she make no contact with them? They decided that they would stick close to Wade and see if he could lead them to Mia. But they also contacted a family friend in Sicily just in case the information they had been given had been wrong.
Mia woke up and smiled to herself slightly. She was sure that she should have felt bad about cheating on her fiancé but she wasn't. She wasn't sorry about it at all. Wade had drawn blood first by cheating on her with some low class stripper. She closed her eyes and she felt the strong arms still around her. She had felt more passion in John's arms than she had ever experienced in her life. He had made her feel loved. Loved. It was oddly calming how quickly and easily the word floated into her mind. She could feel his eyes on her and she turned in his arms so she could look at him. His blue eyes sparkled with emotions. Emotions that she had never seen from anyone. It was then that she realized that he was in love with her.
As the realization registered in her mind, she could feel the pounding in her chest. Almost as if her heart was trying to tell him the things she couldn't bring herself to say out loud. She was in love with him too. So much more in love with him than she had ever fooled herself into believing she'd felt for Wade.
"Hey." He said softly, his breath caressing her skin as he adjusted himself on the bed so he could see her face a little better. She smiled at him and ran her fingers absently up and down his arm.
"Hey." She replied.
"Mia, about what happened….." she cut him off by pressing a finger to his lips.
"Please don't tell me that you regret it and that it never should have happened. You were there for me when I needed you. You helped me see the truth. The truth that I couldn't see that was right in front of me. I can't even begin to tell you what that means to me." He pressed her fingers to his lips and kissed them gently before he took her hand in his. He looked at her and smiled a little.
"I wasn't going to say that I regretted it." He said softly. "I…" before he could finish his sentence, his cell phone rang and he scrambled off the bed to answer it. "Hello?"
"John, its Ted. We have a sighting of Wade in Rome as well as Justin and Evan. They are there looking for Mia. We have knowledge that Justin contacted Santino Marella to see if maybe Mia was in Sicily. We are trying to talk to Santino and get him to not say anything to Justin."
John sighed putting on his shirt. "They think she's in Rome?"
"Yes."
John thought for a minute. He looked over at Mia. He wasn't ready for her to leave yet. At least not until he told her how he felt and how he wanted them to be together no matter what their family said.
"Get our contact in Rome to set up false sightings of Mia."
"Alright." Ted hung up and dialed their contact.
John turned to Mia. He had to tell her before anyone found them. He walked over to the bed and sat down. He took her hand in his. He looked into her eyes.
"This is not how I planned on saying this. But I have to say it. But first I have to know something. Did you mean what you whispered to me last night?"
She looked at him a little confused and thought back to the night before. She wasn't sure what he was talking about and then it returned to her like a long lost friend. The words she thought she hadn't said to him. It was after their second love making session. She'd had her head on his chest and she'd waited until his breathing had evened out. She'd let the words slip out without meaning to. She'd told him she loved him. She wasn't sure what scared her more, the fact that she'd said it or the fact that she'd meant it. She nodded her head slightly and he smiled at her answer. "Yes John. I meant it. I love you."
He leaned in and kissed her. "I love you too."
"So, what's up with the phone call?" She asked pulling away. She had heard about setting up wrong sighting of her.
"Nothing." He said moving to get up but he was stopped when he felt her hand on his arm.
"John, please don't keep me in the dark about things."
He sighed before sitting back down on the bed. He had made it a point to tell her that he wouldn't keep her in the dark if she was his. "That was my brother Ted. He wanted to let me know that Wade is in Rome looking for you."
"Wade is in Rome?" She asked shocked.
"Yes and so are your brothers."
"Justin and Evan?" She asked. He nodded. "They are all in Rome."
"Yes, they got a tip from someone saying you were in Rome. Justin called an associate here in Sicily to see if maybe you were here. We are trying to convince Santino to not say anything about you being here? While making them think you're in Rome."
"You're tricking my brothers?"
John sighed. "Mia, I'm not ready for you to leave yet."
She smiled before kissing him. "It doesn't matter if they find me or not. I love you and that isn't going to change."
He rested his forehead against hers and smiled. He had never felt like he was on top of the world before. But he suddenly felt like he was. He felt like nothing could ever hurt him ever again. He was sitting there with the woman that he loved and that was all that mattered.
Justin sat in the café in Rome and thought about where Mia could be. His cell phone rang and he looked at the caller ID and smiled.
"What's up Santino?"
"I have news. Your sister is in Sicily. Rumor has it that she is with the Cenas."
"The Cenas? Why would they have her?"
"This I do not know. All I know is that I have it from a very reliable source that she was with the oldest one at a restaurant not that long ago."
"Thanks Santino. I appreciate it." Justin hung up the phone and then dialed another number. He knew if it was true and the Cena's had her, it was going to take more than just him and Evan to get her back.
"Hey Pop, yeah. We may have found Mia."
