my friend's husband

CHAPTER08

Connie was discharged the following morning . she could not imagine how her life had changed that quickly. she came here with only twelve months but now she had a whole life ahead of her . Her dad stepped in her room and informed her she was staying in Italy and if her husband wanted her he could come and pick her.

she quickly informed them not to let neither her husband nor her best friend know where she was. she knew, eventually, she had to tell her parents the truth but for now she wanted to be back to the house resting and recuperating. she knew she was lucky as ran her own business so no employer would be pestering her for missing work.but being the boss was equally hard her small flower business had grown over years and now she boasted of over 20 stores in different states.she texted her assistant Cara to handle all business as she wouldn't be back in months after promising huge salary raise .

she was lucky to have her and she was glad to have something going on for her self she did not know what she could have done without a job. she had billions in inheritance but nothing was going to beat her own efforts.

after communicating with cara she switched her phone and decided to focus on herself. for the next two months she spend her time gardening and joining her mother for Pilate classes. She even learned how to cook something she never thought she could but maybe that what healing was about. her body was back to normal she could finally fit in the dresses she loved. Her parents embraced her throughout and for that she was really grateful.

she had managed to cut all contact with everyone, so when she bumped in to Mikael in the convenience store she could not believe it. she forgot she had texted him . she had not thought about anyone, so seeing him there caught her off guard. He had stared at her in surprise but suddenly masked that with disgust. Connie was taken back he hated her. damn that was sad. she decided to ignore him and went ahead to pick shovel and watering can and proceeded to the counter to pay.

Mikael was lost for words that could not be Connie. That Damsel was American, so what business did she have in Italy he checked around and could not find the mutt that always trailed her. He grabbed the nearest item he could find which happened to be a mop and followed her to the counter. she was speaking perfect Italiano. Mikael couldn't believe it ,maybe he was mistaken this could not be connie once they were outside the store he called her name loudly such that one of his men was taken back. he could not do that neither was he supposed to be out in public like that. he was a mafia leader for a reason.but mikael did not care he proceeded to grab connie's hand . One look at her eyes, and he was suddenly weak he almost forgot that he was supposed to hate her, but at that moment one of his men informed him that their cargo had arrived.

This store had an underground storage store which they used to store their firearms. no one was going to suspect a convenience store was used for illegal business and if they knew there was nothing they could do. The Musollin's owned part of this town and anyone who dared defy that was met with ground breaking force and dealt with mercilessly.

Connie was taken back what was happening. Why were those guys telling him he could not be in public. he was always in public in Us so what changed here? She was not about to dwell on that she had flowers to plant. she hoped that the orchids were going to germinate quickly. her lilies and roses were already blooming. she drove back home and got into work immediately. their gardener tried helping her but connie was never going to accept any help. she had always considered herself capable so she went on to do her work while playing her music.she enjoyed this life and she was not going to let it go soon . if only she did not have responsibilities.

On the other hand Mikael had just finished supervising packaging of the cargo when his old man called him. his dad, despite being a mafia don had refused to give up his hospital and was one of the most respected doctors in the whole region ,heck even the whole world. he had said he wanted to meet him and it was urgent. Mikael tried thinking of any thing that his father treated with urgency and could not find any. His brother Luka handled all dirty business for the family, so what was urgent and did not need blood shedding?

he drove back to his house had a cold shower drowned on his black pants and white shirt before leaving.he did not fear his dad but he could never let that brute catch him off guard. his mum was still not around and Mikael hated her. if she wasn't the daughter of the russian mafia leader he could have killed her. blood related or not betrayal or not meant death. he was convinced their last born brother damiano was the son of one of his dad's men. he had bumped into the man holding his mum once. ever since then he had considered this betrayal which is kinda extreme if you ask me. but the boy was innocent and he was among the few people he loved so he decided to grab some games for him as he did not want him entangled in the mafia business.But for the most part Mikael found himself giving him lots of mafia work.
