Later that night, Mia woke up and realized that she had fallen asleep. She wiped the tears that had stained her face. She couldn't believe what she learned about her brothers. John had said her father was the one who told her brothers who killed. How could her family do this and she not know. She got up and washed her face and headed downstairs. She was hungry. She didn't know where she was or what was going to happy now. She didn't understand what the point was of showing her this. Why tell her about her family?
She headed into the kitchen and was shocked to see someone else there. She thought she and John were the only ones here.
"Hi, I'm Natalie." Natalie said when she looked up and saw Mia.
"Mia." She said sitting across from her.
"Are you hungry?"
"Yes."
"Great. Let me make some dinner." Natalie got up and started making some dinner. She saw John out of the corner of her eye. "Let me go check something and I will be right back."
She walked over to where John was. "Let me talk to her. It will be fine."
John nodded and left to find his brother. He wanted to talk to Randy about what Ted said. They needed to finish out talking about their plan.
"Sorry about that. Just telling the guys to leave us."
"Guys?" Mia asked.
"Yeah, John and my husband, Randy."
"Oh." Mia wasn't sure if she could ask Natalie the questions she had. "Can you tell me where we are?"
"We are in Sicily at the Cena family compound."
"The Cena Family?"
"Yes one of the five families." Natalie turned to Mia as she cooked. "Mia, the mafia has five major families and they run the organization. The Cena's and The Romano's are two of the most powerful as is The Barrett family."
"They are all in this organization?"
"Yes. Mia, I know you only know what John has told you but your family is powerful. It is probably the most powerful in the organization. That is why you are the most wanted person for any of the families. That is why Wade wants to marry you. For the power you possess."
"The power I possess?" Mia asked confused
"You are the only daughter in any of the families. You have the power to unite any of the other families with your own through marriage. Whoever ends up being your husband will have more power than even they would ever be able to understand."
"How do you know all this?" Mia asked taking a bite out of the plate of pasta that Natalie had placed in front of her.
"Because my husband doesn't lie to me. He's been honest with me from the beginning. He wanted a partner in his marriage. Not just someone to warm his bed, bare his children and spend his money. He wanted our love to be pure and honest. A love that he could be proud to tell our children about." Natalie said as she poured Mia a glass of wine. "That's what marriage is supposed to be. Honest, kind and patient. Now, you have to ask yourself. Is that the kind of love you and Wade have? Has he always been honest and patient with you? If not, that's not love Mia. That's not what you need or deserve in your life."
Mia sighed because she knew Natalie was right. She and Wade didn't have that. He wasn't always patient with her and now she was wondering if he was honest at all with her.
"Mia, I know this is a lot to take in and you don't really know us that well. But we only want you to know what your family is about."
"Really? That's all you want?"
"Yes. Mia, you're going to be here for a while. There are no phones you can use to call anyone. The house phones are not working and the cell phones are in a safe."
"Right." Mia sighed and got up. "I'm going to my room since that is where I suppose to stay."
"Mia, you aren't confined to your room. You can walk the grounds provided John is with you."
"Right but I'm going up."
"I will get John." Natalie said walking outside where the guys were. She told John that Mia was done and wanted to go upstairs to her room.
John walked in the kitchen and saw Mia standing there. "Did you want to watch TV or something?"
"No, I don't' want to see anymore videos of my family killing people." She said walking out.
He quickly went after her and caught up with her on the stairs. "Mia, I wasn't going to show you more of that. I just meant maybe watch a movie or something."
"Alright." She replied to him.
"Great, let's go to the theater room." He headed back downstairs and she followed.
He hoped this would help her relax a little. He knew this was confusing for her and she wasn't quite sure about things. He hoped that the plan he and his family had didn't do more damage than good. But they had to avenge what Wade and his family had done.
He held the door open for her as they walked in. His breath caught in his throat as she walked by and took a seat in one of the plush theater chairs. She was so beautiful and she didn't even realize it. She carried herself with such dignity and ease that John suddenly flushed with anger at the thought of Wade cheating on her with some glorified hooker. He lingered at the door for a few minutes to collect his thoughts before he walked over to the large bookshelf that held all the movies. He looked over at her and his face scrunched in instant worry. She was right there with him but she seemed so far away. He hated what they were doing to her. But this was the only way.
Mia kept her eyes on the floor trying not to look at him. All the information that had been presented to her in the last few hours was still fresh on her mind and she wasn't sure she had wrapped her head around it all. Her family was a mob family. She was about to be married into another one. Like it was some kind of business arrangement. Her feelings a mere afterthought. And she was in Italy with these strangers who seemed to mean her no harm. She thought about what Natalie had said to her earlier. She did want to find a love that was honest and true. A partnership. And she had been sure that she'd found that in Wade. Until a few hours ago, she was sure of who she was. But now nothing made sense. She looked up from the floor as he knelt in front of her with a movie in his hand. She smiled. It was an old black and white movie that she'd watched over and over again. One that Wade would never watch with her. He didn't like old movies like that.
"Mind watching a little Bogie and Bacall?" he asked softly. She shook her head and he put the movie in the player.
"This is one of my favorite movies of all time." She said as he walked over to his own chair with the remote in his hand. He looked at her and smiled. She noticed for the first time what a nice smile he had. She felt a feeling she had never really felt before when he said what he said next.
"This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
