Domenico put the phone back down in the cradle and sat behind his desk. The Cenas had kidnapped his daughter on her wedding day and taken her to Sicily. His blood began to boil. He couldn't believe that Cena would allow his sons to break the treaty between the families. He had been at the council meeting when the accusations that Wade and his brothers had killed Ted's wife and unborn child. But there had never been enough evidence to prove it. His vote had been the deciding factor to dismiss the matter. Something he'd had to live with for the last year. He sighed. He just hoped that his innocent daughter hadn't had to pay for this vendetta.
He headed upstairs and packed for the trip. He called his other sons and told them to meet him at the airport. He would explain on the plane what Justin had told him. He chose not tell Ben and his family. He wanted to deal with the Cenas first and get Mia back.
"Domenico, what's going on?" Rosa asked her husband.
"I'm getting our daughter back. That is all you need to know."
"No, I want to know where my daughter is."
Dom sighed. "I'm getting her back. That wife is all you need to know. Stay here and rest. I will bring her back."
Rosa grabbed his arm. "No, tell me."
Dom pulled away and backhanded her. "You know not to question me. You never ask me about my business. You know that. Rosa, I will bring Mia home. Everything else is no concern of yours."
He walked away before she could say anything else. He quickly made it to the airport and boarded his private jet. Arturo and Larenzo were already there. He explained to them what Justin had said. He told them that they would meet up with Justin and Evan. He would tell Wade to go home that he would handle things and then they would go to the Cena compound.
John and Mia showered and dressed and headed down to the kitchen where Randy and Natalie were waiting with breakfast. John sat down at the table. Randy could tell by the expression on his brother's face that something was up.
"Hey John, why don't you come out on the patio with me? There is something that I need to talk to you about." Randy said. John nodded and kissed Mia on the cheek causing Natalie and Randy to exchange knowing looks. John and Randy disappeared onto the patio and Natalie looked at Mia as she made her plate.
"So, is everything okay?" Natalie asked.
"Everything is great." Mia said.
"You know it's not a bad thing."
"What?"
"That you love John. He is a great guy. It's only natural what happened between you guys."
"Oh my God, You heard us?" Mia asked embarrassed. Natalie laughed. "It was amazing. I never knew I could love someone so much in such a short amount of time."
"It happened that way for Randy and me. And look where we are now."
Outside, Randy looked over at John with a knowing smirk on his face. John sat there looking at the ocean, wondering when it was going to all fall apart. He knew that they would be coming for her. He knew that they would want answers. And he knew he would have to let Mia go and try to get on with his life.
"You love her don't you?" Randy said. John looked over at him and nodded.
"Yeah, I do. I love her more than I thought I could love anyone. But." John stopped and looked out at the ocean.
"But?"
"Ted called earlier. Mia's brothers know she is in Sicily and I know they will be coming for her. And I will have to let her go and try to get on with life."
"Get on with your life? Do you really believe that Mia will leave and never speak to you again? That she will leave and not want to be with you. John, you can tell she loves you. That isn't going to go away because her family comes."
"How do you know that? Do you really believe she will go against her family?"
"Yes, I do. John, you told me yourself that Mia was stronger than her family thought. She loves you and I think, no, I know, she wants to be with you. Will it be easy? No, her father is not going to be happy but you can't control the heart. You can try to but you can't. Mia will choose to be with you. You have to know that."
"I want to believe that. God knows I do but.." John sighed before looking through the glass door at Natalie and Mia.
"John, trust me, Mia will chose to be with you." Randy got up and headed back into the house leaving John alone with his thoughts. He wanted to believe that Mia would pick him. But he wasn't going to kid himself. There were too many factors keeping them apart. But he hoped against hope that she would pick him. He had seen the way she looked at him this morning. She did love him as much he loved her.
Domenico and his other sons arrived in Sicily and met Justin and Evan at the airport. He saw Wade walk up as they were getting their luggage.
"Don Grimaldi, I hope you have found Mia." Wade said to him.
"I did find her. I will handle things. Go back to New York and wait."
"I want to come and see my fiancée."
"NO! I will handle this. Go home now. If you don't, there will be consequences."
Wade could tell from the look that he had to do what the Don wanted or it wouldn't be good. It might affect the arrangement and that was something that couldn't happen.
"Fine." Wade said going to the ticket counter.
"Larenzo, follow him and make sure he gets on that plane." Larenzo nodded and followed.
Domenico then turned to his other sons. "Take me to my daughter."
The four of them headed out and got into the car with Alex. They headed to the Cena compound. Domenico hoped Mia was fine and that the Cenas had not hurt her. If they had, there would be more hell to pay. They had already broken the sacred trust that the council had set forth. And they would be dealt with according to those bi-laws. But if any harm had come to his only daughter, his emotions would get the better of him and he wouldn't be able to control his actions. He would seek vengeance in his own way.
Wade boarded the plane and sighed as he sat down in the seat. He had wanted so badly to go with them to find Mia. She had to be okay for their families to merge. And he wanted to see for himself whether she had left on her own accord of if her vacation had been forced upon her. He closed his eyes and smiled a little as the image flowed into his mind. Now any normal man would be filled with thoughts of relief and images of reuniting with his missing fiancé. But Wade Barrett wasn't an ordinary man. Instead of Mia being safely wrapped in his arms, the images that filled his mind were of his blonde mistress. More accurately, his blonde mistress and their last tryst together. As soon as Mia was back on American soil and their families were merged giving his family the advantage, he would be free to be with Kelly as much as he wanted and Mia would be none the wiser.
Mia sat on the balcony in her room looking out at the ocean. It was so peaceful and that was why it was her favorite place. She knew all of this couldn't last forever. She knew her brothers knew where she was and they would come with her father to take her home. When they did, she would tell her father and her family that she wouldn't marry Wade. She was going to be with John.
"Are you okay?" John asked walking onto the balcony and sitting down by her.
"I'm good. I was just thinking." She smiled at him.
"Thinking about what?"
"About when my father and brothers come. I mean, they know where I am now and they will be coming."
"They will be coming." He sighed. He hated the thought that she would be gone.
"When they come, I'm telling them that I won't marry Wade. I know what I want and it isn't a life with him. It's with you. If you want that?"
He smiled and leaned in and kissed her. He pulled away and looked into her eyes. "I want that more than anything. I love you Mia."
"I love you too." She kissed him back passionately.
He picked her up and carried her into the bedroom. He laid her down on the bed and their clothes were quickly gone. He slowly made love to her. He wanted this to last as long as possible since he knew her family was coming. He still worried that her father would make her leave even though she wanted to be with him. He knew the Grimaldi's and Don Grimaldi wasn't a man who liked his wishes gone against.
After they had made love, they laid there holding each other. Mia knew her father probably wouldn't like her decision but she knew what she wanted and she wasn't going to let anyone stop her from doing what she wanted.
