“I Have Dinner Plans This Friday” — The Obsessed Mafia Boss Snapped When His Accountant Said She Was Seeing Another Man
Chapter 4
Luca ordered a full internal security review.
No one outside his inner circle knew why.
Mia continued tracking the stolen money.
She found connections to three private companies.
One belonged to a man named Victor Salazar.
Mia recognized the name.
Victor was a rival crime boss.
She looked at Luca.
“Is this possible?”
He read the documents.
“Yes.”
“What happens now?”
“We find the leak.”
“And then?”
“Then Victor stops being a problem.”
She understood what he meant.
She didn’t ask for details.
That night, Luca drove Mia home himself.
She was surprised.
“You don’t usually drive.”
“I needed to talk.”
“About work?”
“Partly.”
They stopped outside her apartment.
Luca turned off the engine.
“I owe you an apology.”
“For what?”
“Friday.”
She waited.
“I shouldn’t have spoken to you like you belonged to me.”
Mia looked at him.
“Thank you.”
“I’m serious.”
“I know.”
He took a breath.
“I have never wanted anyone this much.”
Her heart raced.
“Luca.”
“I’m not asking you for anything.”
“What are you asking?”
“For a chance.”
She stared at him.
“To do what?”
“To show you who I am when I’m not your boss.”
She looked away.
“That’s complicated.”
“I know.”
“I work for you.”
“Not anymore.”
She looked back.
“I resigned you from my personal accounts,” he said.
“What?”
“You’ll report directly to our external financial firm.”
“Luca…”
“You deserve freedom.”
She stared.
He had done exactly what she needed.
He had created distance.
Not because he wanted her less.
Because he wanted her to choose him freely.
She whispered:
“Why would you do that?”
“Because if you ever choose me, I need to know it’s because you want me.”
Mia didn’t know what to say.
She opened the door.
“Goodnight.”
“Goodnight.”
She stepped out.
Then turned.
“Luca.”
“Yes?”
She smiled faintly.
“I’m not afraid of you.”
He looked at her.
“I know.”
She closed the door.
Inside, Mia leaned against the wall.
She was in trouble.
Real trouble.
Because the man she’d been trying not to understand had just shown her exactly why she couldn’t stop thinking about him.
The next morning, Luca announced publicly that Mia was no longer his direct employee.
She had been transferred to an independent auditing position.
Rumors spread.
Mia expected questions.
Instead, Luca ignored them.
That afternoon, Victor sent a message.
You trust the wrong people.
Mia showed Luca.
His expression hardened.
Victor knew about the investigation.
That meant there was a leak inside the company.
Mia suddenly understood.
The fraud wasn’t just financial.
Someone had been watching them.
Someone knew Luca cared about her.
And that made her a target.
