“I Have Dinner Plans This Friday” — The Obsessed Mafia Boss Snapped When His Accountant Said She Was Seeing Another Man
Chapter 14
Luca eventually retired from daily business.
Mia did too.
They focused on the foundation.
Their son became an adult.
Started his own career.
The foundation supported thousands.
The old organization was history.
People still whispered about Luca Romano.
But the man at home didn’t resemble the rumors.
He watered plants.
Cooked badly.
Walked the dog.
Complained about grocery prices.
Mia laughed.
“You used to control millions.”
“I still do.”
“How?”
He held up a grocery coupon.
“Thirty percent off.”
She burst out laughing.
The transformation was complete.
One evening, they returned to the original restaurant.
Luca looked across the table.
“Do you regret telling me you had plans?”
Mia smiled.
“Not even a little.”
“Why?”
“Because it forced you to tell the truth.”
“Which truth?”
“That you wanted me.”
He nodded.
“And you?”
She looked at him.
“I wanted to know whether the man behind the power could love without controlling.”
He reached for her hand.
“And?”
“You learned.”
He smiled.
“With your help.”
They sat quietly.
Then Mia whispered:
“Tonight, I’m not your accountant.”
He laughed.
“What are you?”
“Your wife.”
He kissed her hand.
“Best promotion I ever got.”
