Let Me Go, My Ruthless Mafia Husband

Chapter 8 New Life As Mia

When Aria was waiting for her flight to New York at the airport in Turin, an elderly couple had approached her, and begged her to exchange tickets with them The couple’s faces etched with desperation and urgency. They said they needed to see their newborn great-granddaughter in New York urgently, but their flight was routed via Paris instead of being direct. They had only one direct ticket available and were willing to pay any price for it. Aria, with her kind heart, had agreed to exchange her direct ticket for theirs and requested the counter to change it to the name of the elderly couple. But when Aria’s flight was delayed in Paris due to the crash of the New York-bound flight, she suddenly made a life-changing decision. She decided to stay in Paris and start a new, leaving behind her past and embracing the opportunity for a fresh start in the enchanting city. She believed it was her destiny, and settling in Paris with a new identity had proved to be a good decision. She sold her wedding ring without any hesitation. With that money, she supported her life and her studies to be an interior designer in Paris. Eight months later, she gave birth to her twins: Gia and Maximo. To make it impossible for Alessandro to discover the existence of these two children, she changed her name to Mia Peterson. Yet, in the quietest hours of the night, she occasionally found herself thinking of Alessandro. She wondered, if he had ever thought of her? But more often than not, she's glad she had ran away from Alessandro. When she left Alessandro, she had nothing but pain and tears. But now, her life as Mia Peterson with her twins Gia and Maximo was easier and more comfortable than she had ever imagined. With six years past, she was known as the renowned interior designer Mia Peterson, a brand in herself. Everyone wanted her to design their homes, but even celebrities and the richest people in the world had to make an appointment. She believed she no longer needed a husband or any man in her life to add complications. Her small world included just her and her children, and that was enough. Her children had often asked about their father, and she had told them the truth that he didn't love her or the children. The twins, mature beyond their years, had accepted this truth and stopped asking about their father, their feelings for him turning into disdain. In every way, Gia and Maximo were brilliant and mature for their age. They wanted their mommy to settle down with a man who deserved her love, and they started seeking a worthy suitor for her. However, the most eligible match was already in their lives: the famous movie star, Adam Whitmore. Adam had been a constant presence in their lives for those six years. The first time Mia designed Adam’s mansion in London, he had fallen for her and had been pursuing her ever since. Despite his charms, Mia was resistant to his advances. Adam, however, never lost his zest and was always there whenever she faced any trouble as a budding entrepreneur. When any successful and renowned interior design company threatened to ruin her and her business, Adam's reputation and influence forced them to back off and leave Mia alone. Unbeknownst to her, Adam had orchestrated this protection, not wanting her to feel obliged or pressured into accepting his marriage proposal. “Mom, is Adam coming to see us today?” Gia asked in her innocent voice as she came to the dining table after changing out of her school clothes. Mia rolled her eyes at her daughter's question. Both of her little angels seemed to be big fans of Adam Whitmore. Despite Mia not wanting to rely on his help, Adam was always there for them. She sometimes felt like she was using him because she knew she could never love a man again after what her mafia husband had done to her. She was scared to trust a man with her heart and let it be broken again. “I don't know, hon,” Mia murmured. “He is a popular movie star, and he will be busy with shooting or brand endorsing.” She shrugged while warming food for her kids. “But he promised he would come today,” Maximo joined Gia at the dining table. Mia glanced at her two cute children and pursed her lips to suppress a smile at their eagerness to see the movie star. “Then...” Mia walked over to them with a big serving bowl full of their favorite risotto. “I think we should ban him from our house if he breaks his promise this time,” she proposed mischievously. “No! He will never break his promise,” both of her kids chimed together, making Mia giggle and kiss their plump cheeks. “That’s right, my little stars,” Adam entered, sporting his heart-melting, charming smile. “No matter how desperately your mom wants me to break my promise, I will always be there for you,” Adam whispered, looking deep into Mia’s eyes, making her blush and bite her lip shyly. Mia averted her gaze, feeling his intense gray eyes trying to melt her cold heart.
