Cheeky owner of a struggling fashion boutique, Poppy Fields dreams of having her designs rocking the couture runways in Paris and Milan. While fantasizing about the glamorous life, her world is about to collide with the devil himself in the form of a dangerous mafia leader, Roman D’Amico, out for revenge for his dead brother. Often mistaken as the future wife of one of Chicago’s most notorious crime bosses, and Roman’s rival gang member, everyone who enters Poppy’s little shop believes they are doing a favor to the Gambino family. When her doppelgänger waltzes into her boutique, the women are shocked to find they look like twins. Leaving her identification behind as a ruse to flee the country, Claudia switches lives with the unsuspecting fashion designer. When Luke Gambino falls for the ploy, he believes Poppy is his runaway bride, forcing her to take on the persona of the real Claudia Ricci. Following the murder of his brother, Roman D’Amico is looking for revenge. When he suspects the Gambinos are behind it, he plots to kidnap the rival gang member’s wife. Unknowing that the women have switched places, Roman kidnaps the wrong couture diva. With Claudia missing, Poppy must keep up the ruse, and convince Roman to keep her alive or fall into the hands of the murderous Gambino family.

Chapter 120

Somewhere in Paris…

Claudia entered the room where her sister was being held, throwing a tray of food on the mattress next to her.

"Eat."

Apollonia turned over on the mattress on the cold dirty floor of the warehouse, sucking back tears. "Why are you doing this to me? We're sisters."

"Why? Because one, you were always Daddy's favorite. You got everything you wanted while he ignored me? Then that bitch he was always looking for was always taking all our parents' attention and they forgot about me."

Pulling her leg legs to her chest, Apple's lip quivered. "That bitch was your sister. You never cared that she was taken. You didn't want her to be found."

"Well, now she is. By now, our useless parents are probably overjoyed their precious Angelina is home. I'm doing you a favor Apple. You won't have to be forgotten like I was."
