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 90

Walking into his family home, Roman and his crew were exhaled. No one had slept that night, and hearing Remi's painful cries through the corridors had everyone rethinking their lives.

When he stepped foot in the doorway his mother came barreling toward him.

"You ungrateful child! I can't believe—"

Holding his hand up to stop her, he just trudged past. "Not now mother."

When she looked at her husband and daughter who followed behind him, she gasped. "Remi, are you all right?"

"Momma!" she cried, running to her.

Patting his daughter's head as she fell into her mother's arms, Emilio looked at his wife with sadness. "I think she needs her mother right now."

"Of, course. Come, baby. Let's take you to your room. Luke, why don't you go set up in the guest's room?"

"Thank you, Sophia."
