Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband

Chapter 251 Teaming Up

"I'm so glad we finally found a dress that will be perfect for you," Mia chimed in as Emily beamed, having finally selected a wedding gown by a renowned designer in Florence.

"Yes, Mia. It's perfect-exactly what I wanted for my wedding," Emily said, blushing. Then she paused, holding Mia's hand. "Why don't you take the same gown for yourself as well?" she insisted. "Oh," Mia waved her hand in a dismissive gesture. "I don't need such an expensive gown. It's your wedding," she replied warmly. "You need to look perfect. I'll find something else for me."

"But, Mia, I want both of us to dress similarly," Emily stubbornly insisted.

"No, Emily!" Mia protested with a pleading expression appearing on her face.

"Come on, Mia, it's my big day! Won't you do this for me?" Emily pouted.

Mia couldn't resist that look; it was her weakness. She would do anything to make Emily's wedding day special.

"Alright, fine!" she sighed. "I'll wear the same gown. Happy now?!" Mia asked, giving her a helpless look. "Very happy!" Emily squealed, hugging Mia tightly. "Thank you, Mia."

"Crazy," Mia murmured, amused, shaking her head with a fond smile as she also took her in her sisterly embrace.

Emily felt a sense of satisfaction wash over her; after Mia agreed to wear a wedding gown, her mission was accomplished. Alessandro had confided in Emily, expressing deep regret for how he had treated his wife. Determined to make amends, he wanted to renew their vows, and he knew he could only rely on Aria's best friend to help him plan everything in secret, ensuring Aria remained oblivious to any hints of the surprise. Alessandro and Emily now worked as a team. Emily readily agreed to help, knowing it was for the happiness of her sister-like friend who deserved a fairytale wedding.

With one task successfully completed, they understood that many other arrangements still lay ahead before the wedding could become a reality.

After giving their measurements and receiving a date for the dress trial, Mia and Emily left the boutique, hands intertwined and chatting softly. Mia scanned the street, searching for their car, as the bodyguards followed closely, motioning toward the vehicle parked a short distance away.

Suddenly, the air was pierced by the screech' of tires. Several jeeps came to a halt nearby, and, without warning, gunfire erupted, breaking the peace of the street. The bodyguards immediately reacted, shielding Mia and Emily as the street devolved into chaos. People screamed, scattering in all directions, and bodies fell amidst the relentless barrage of bullets.

Two of the guards pulled Mia and Emily to a safer spot hurriedly radioing for help while the other four fought to hold back the attackers. Despite their bravery, they were quickly outnumbered, each falling in the line of duty.

In the midst of the chaos, a black car sped to a halt nearby. Vittoria emerged, waving frantically at them. "Aria, get in-now!" she shouted.

The last remaining bodyguards glanced at Vittoria, their faces were tense and distrustful.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

"No, ma'am. Reinforcements are on the way, and we'll be leaving in our own vehicle," one of them insisted in a stern and professional tone.

The gunfire grew louder, and the attackers advanced steadily.

Mia glanced at Emily, who was visibly shaken, her eyes wide with fear. She had.never witnessed anything Mia glanced at Emily, who was visibly shaken, h like this in her life.

Before Mia could respond, the loud crack of gunfire pierced the air, and another bodyguard collapsed, a bullet striking him down. A fearful cry escaped Emily and Mia's lips as they watched blood seep from his body, staining the pavement. But there was no time to grieve. The chaos escalated around them, with more shots echoing through the streets.

Instinct kicked in as Mia pushed Emily into the car, her heart racing. "Get in!" she shouted, scrambling after her.

"Come on inside," she called, turning to summon the remaining bodyguard. He shook his head, refusing to join them, instead choosing to stay behind and provide cover as the attackers advanced. With urgency in his gestures, he signaled for the driver to get moving Mia watched helplessly from the back window of the fleeing car, tears streaming down her face as the bodyguard was hit instantly after the car left, the force of ten shots overwhelming him. A gasp escaped her lips, a silent prayer forming in her mind for his bravery. Desperate to reach Alessandro, she fumbled for her phone, but before she could dial, a sharp spray hit her and Emily's noses, a sickly sweet scent flooding their senses. Dizziness washed over them, and the world around them began to blur, darkness creeping in as everything faded away.
