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 105

Holding up his hands in retreat, Jaxson was sweating as the barrel of Poppy's pistol was pointed between his eyes. "Whoa! Calm down there, sweetheart. I just wanted to get to know you."

"The hell you did. I may be a Ricci by birth, but I'm still Poppy Fields. I want to make myself perfectly clear. Never, and I mean never, touch me. Understand?"

"Come on, babe. It was innocent. I was just messing around. Roman knows, right man?"

"Well, seems the games are over Jaxson. She's not going anywhere with you. Now get your drunk ass father out of my parent's house."

"Fine. This isn't over. I will take our family spot. You don't deserve it."

"Jaxson, get out of here before I let her pull that trigger," Roman said with his eyes narrowed in anger.

As he left, Roman rushed to Poppy, checking on her. Stepping back, she looked him in the eyes with a hint of fear and confusion.

"Is it true? Am I promised to you? Or is it my sisters?"
