John woke up the next morning, thoughts of the kiss still running through his head. He knew that today was going to be the hardest day for Mia since they'd brought her there. Today she was going to find out exactly what her fiancé was all about. He sighed as he put his feet on the floor and walked over to the bathroom. He showered and dressed and went to the door to Mia's room.

Mia woke up and smiled as she looked out at the sun shining along the beach. She couldn't believe how incredible the kiss had been. She had definitely never experienced anything like that with Wade. Her smile faded as soon as he crossed her mind. She knew that she would be seeing things about Wade today and she didn't know if she was completely prepared to know the truth. She got in the shower and dressed in a purple sun dress with flat sandals and left her hair down. She wasn't surprised to hear the knock on the door and she opened it smiling at John.

"Ready for breakfast?" John said when she opened it. He knew she knew what he was really asking.

"I'm ready as I can be." She replied.

"Okay, let's go eat."

They headed downstairs and ate breakfast with Randy and Natalie. Randy had told Natalie that John was going to show Mia some things about Wade. They were going to show her that he and his family had killed Lila. They would also show her the images of him and the stripper. Natalie understood and agree with Randy that they stay by the house incase Mia needed something.

Wade stood in his father's office waiting for the news his father said he had about Mia. Wade wanted Mia back and he wanted them to be married immediately. He had plans for the family and he needed Mia for that. He looked at his brothers who both were sitting down on the sofa in the office.

"Boys, I have news on Mia." Ben said walking in and sitting down. "We have a contact who said he saw someone who looked like Mia in Italy."

"Why would Mia be in Italy?" Wade asked.

"Maybe the person who kidnapped her took her there." Ben said. "The point is Wade you need to go to Italy and see if the person is Mia. If it is, bring her back and apologize for everything. Even if she doesn't know about the family or you fucking the stripper. Apologize anyway. Make her see that you are the great guy she knows and loves."

"It will be fine. I will get Mia back and we will be married."

"I hope so." Ben said as his son left. He then turned to his other sons. "We need the Romano family if we are going to elimnate the Cenas. I thought assigning Wade to make Mia fall for him would work. Why couldn't he just wait until after they were married before he started screwing around?"

"Wade is a moron dad." Drew said.

"Drew, please." Ben said with a sigh. "Let's hope Mia is in Italy and Wade can convince her to come back. I know he talked her into sleeping with him before they were legally wed so let's hope he can talk her into this."

Mia picked at her food and moved it around her plate with the fork. She wondered why John had saved showing her the things about Wade for last. She also couldn't stop thinking about the kiss that they had shared the night before. It has mesmerized her. She looked up when she felt eyes on her and smiled over at John. She secretly wished that they had met under different circumstances. But she knew that once this was all over with, her father or Wade would most likely have them all killed.

"You alright?" John asked. She nodded.

"Just not very hungry really." She replied. John nodded.

"Well, let's get started then." They both walked toward the theater room and she sat down in one of the chairs slightly holding her breath. John put the DVD in the player and pushed play on the remote. Mia's hand flew to her mouth as she saw Wade and his brothers talking about the things they had done. In particular, the murder of a young pregnant woman. When they started talking about Lila, John paused the tape and looked at Mia. She had tears in her eyes.

"Oh my god, how could they do that? Kill a pregnant woman." She said through her tears.

John moved in front of her and pulled her into a hug. He knew this would be hard for her. "Mia, there is something you need to know." He pulled away from her.

"What?" She said wiping the tears.

"Lila, the young pregnant woman they killed, was my sister-in-law. My younger brother, Ted, married to her after she had dated Drew, Wade's brother."

Mia looked at John. Wade and his family had killed John's brother's wife and unborn child. She didn't know what to think.

"Mia, are you okay to see more?" He asked. His dad had told him to show her all of it.

"Yes." She said drying her tears. She wanted to see all of it so she could handle it all in one day.

She watched the DVD as Wade and his brothers dealed drugs, killed more and other questionable stuff. She couldn't believe tha this was the man she was going to marry. The man she gave her viriginity too. Once he stopped the tape he turned to Mia again.

"Is the fact that Wade killed your sister-in-law why you kidnapped me and brought me here? Why you showed me everything my family and Wade's family did?"

"I won't lie to you. That's a part of it. But the bigger part is that you deserved to know. You deserve to have all the information so you can make your own decisions." he said. "Killing people is only a part of the way he has wronged you. He...he has cheated on you Mia." She looked at him like someone had punched all the air out of her.

"He wouldn't. He loves me."

John walked over to the desk and grabbed the envelope of pictures that Ted had sent to him. He was hoping he could have shown them to her in a more gentle way. Or avoided showinng them to her at all. But, deep down he knew that she had to see them. He handed them to her and watched as she took them and ran up the stairs to her room.

Natalie and Randy saw Mia ran from the room. They both headed into the theatre room. John was sitting down in one of the chairs.

"What happened?" Randy asked.

"I saw her Wade and his brothers and I told her about Lila. I also showed her the photos of Wade with the stripper."

"She didn't take it very well." Natalie said.

"No. Should I go talk to her?" John asked his sisterinlaw.

"Let me." Natalie got up and walked to the stairs.

Once Natalie was gone, Randy turned to John. "She knows the truth now. This is your chance."

"My chance for what?"

"Your chance to tell her how you feel. Comfort her."

"She might not want anything to do with me."

"I think she will. John, she is falling for you. She knows now that Wade doesn't love her."

John sighed. "I don't know."

"Just think on it." Randy replied as they sat there.

Natalie knocked on the door and heard Mia say go away. She said it was her and Mia said come in. She walked in and saw Mia on the bed.

"I guess John showed you Wade." Natalie said sitting down on the bed.

"Yes he did. How could I be so stupid? He never loved me." Mia said sitting up and wiping her tears.

"I'm sorry Mia." Natalie sighed. She knew she should stay out of it but she saw the sparks between John and Mia. "Mia, I know this is confusing for you . You fell in love with Wade not knowing who he really was. But you're away from all that now. Take this time to think about things. You might find that someone else is waiting to give you excatly what you deserve."
