Couture Criminals

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 130

A few days after the gun range, Poppy had been doing well with Roman's training. Remi had even helped her start to understand how the families worked together.  Remi had really become her best friend, and as a surprise, Poppy thought it would be a good idea to do something special. After all, Remi had been through, she needed to feel like a woman and not have to deal with the family affairs, for at least one day.

After rummaging through some of her retro outfits, Poppy rushed to get everything ready in the back of her shop where a photographer was already set up.

"Okay. I got some retro looks and I want her to model some of my new outfits for the website."

"Sounds great," the lady said as she hooked up a photography strobe beside her backdrop.

"She doesn't know about this, so if you and the makeup team can keep quiet. I'll bring her in when she gets here."

(Ding dong!)

"Oh, that's the front door. She's here!"
