Couture Criminals

Seeing the gun pointed at him, Roman didn't budge. He was here to take back what was rightfully his, and it was that women standing on that stage with his cousin who betrayed his family and threatened his very existence. Roman was back, alive and well, and someone was about to pay.

"Roman, where were you?" Poppy cried. "I waited for you. I thought you were dead and he was making me marry him. I don't want to. I want you."

"Shut up, bitch!" Jaxson said as he scowled at Roman.

Stepping forward, Don Ricci looked at Roman in shock, but utter relief. "Roman, you're… alive. Thank God."

"Yes. I am, and I know everything this psychopath has been doing."

Quickly, Sophia rushed to their son, begging for answers as she looked him over. "Son, we thought you were dead. What happened?"

"I almost was Momma. My own cousin tried to kill me, and he won't be walking out of this room alive."
