“Because we know you, and there is no way you’re going to let yourself end up like your mother.I don’t see that happening,” Tatiana said.
“I think you’re going to be one hell of a mom.Always being on time for dressing up.Throwing amazing parties.I even see you learning how to bake,” Clarissa said.
“You know, that is something I have always wanted to do.”
She tended to avoid the kitchen from time to time.There had been a couple of disasters, but she loved to watch cooking and baking.
Mia put the test on the counter and washed her hands.“I’m done.”
Her friends came in and immediately wrapped their arms around her.“Are you okay?”Clarissa asked.
“I’ve been better, but it doesn’t matter.So long as I have you guys, you will keep me on the straight and narrow, right?You won’t let me go down that slippery slope of being an awful mom?”
“If you’re asking us to call you out on everything, then consider it a guarantee,” Tatiana said.
Mia looked at her three friends, and in that moment she didn’t care what the test said.She knew these women had her back, and that was what was important.
Chapter Ten
Mia was pregnant.
Giovanni had seen it play out on camera.His wife was going to have his baby, and he was fucking thrilled.This was one of the many things he had been hoping for—a reason to make her stay.Not that she would have a choice to leave.
“Have we ever considered this could be an inside job?”Diego asked.
Giovanni was at a country club, enjoying a glass of scotch and some good food.They were in a private business suite, attempting to figure out where the problem was coming from.They had not been able to locate the girls.The black web site had gone down, but the promise of more shows was coming soon.He didn’t like it.
There were no immediate enemies with the skills to do this.They had removed one of the threats last year, and this didn’t have any connection to them.The drugs were not the same.
None of this made any sense.
“What do you mean?”Giovanni asked.
“We’re all assuming these are enemies of ours.MCs we’ve pissed off.Bratva.The Irish.Rival mafia groups.But what if, this time, it is not far afield?”Diego said.
“You thinking within the Colombo Mafia?”Emilio asked.
