The Mafia's Runaway Wife

Roman- Family Reunion

My brothers and I got to Japan a week earlier than planned. After finding it was my Garmoniya who bought the shares of Alexeyer company, I decided to change tactics. I wasn’t mad she bought them if anything I was proud. I had planned on buying off the old shareholders and gifting them to her on our 10th year anniversary.

I couldn’t shake the feeling that Harpers’ method and reasons behind buying the shares weren’t as simple as it seems. There’s been a lot of underlying problems with those shareholders that only my brothers and I were aware of, not to mention what I did and allowed after she had spoken out about them in the past.

However, her not using my last name on the documents is what irked me. It’s like she wanted to hide the fact that she is mine, that she belonged to me. So, three days earlier I released her identity as my wife to the public. Let her try to hide it now. No matter where she goes, she will be known and recognized as mine, the queen of the Alexeyer empire.

 We had our men looking for her and her brother to no avail, but yesterday we received a tip about some family closing the theme park for a private party. I knew it had to be her. I never paid attention to that Anime stuff, but I knew my Garmoniya goes crazy about them. And the fact that her parents' name showed up on their company file only proved that her connection to this park is stronger than one would imagine.

 Vlad was able to decipher the park's security system and Chess got the blueprints for us to find the right way of entry. I want to keep the damage to a minimum but if that’s not possible then f**k it. One way or another, I’m seeing her today. Our intel informed us that the party is starting at 11 am and ends at 4 pm. We plan to make an appearance at 1 pm to make sure everyone that is needed is in attendance. We have a feeling that this is going to be an interesting family reunion and I for one can’t wait. It’s been eight years and five months now. If I must wait another day, I might just burn it all to ashes.

  Even though we thought this was going to be a family reunion, we weren’t ready for the reality of it. We walked in at exactly 1 pm, we met with guards with the Grimm reaper seal, the Romanov seal, and the De Leon seal tattoos. Some had both the Grimm reaper and one of the other two seals while others had all three. They made great efforts to show their allegiance. Can’t really blame them, not after what we did to their comrades in the pursuit of finding our wives. None of them tried to stop us, it was like they were expecting us.

 There were four kids running around, all the same height but you can tell that they were two sets who belonged to two different parents. However, you knew that all four of them were related somehow. They didn’t bother looking up, it was as if no one else existed. You could hear their laughter and chatter. From their little conversations, I found out that one set of siblings is Niklaus and Amora, and the other was Samuel and Carter.

 I couldn’t help how those names sound so familiar. It’s a paining familiarity but I can’t put my fingers on it. I’m not sure how long we stayed planted watching the kids play, something about their laughs tugged at my heart, and even though we still couldn’t see their faces, my eyes and heart couldn’t stop focusing on Niklaus and Amora. Something about the way they laugh, the way they instantly look at the other boys. I didn’t need to see their faces to know that their reactions were the same. There was an automatic sync about them. The way they knew when to hold each other and when to let go.

 If it wasn’t for Vlad, I’m not sure how long I would have stood there staring at them. That slap on the back brought me back to reality. We scanned the place until we saw a group huddled up in front of an eatery. My eyes automatically found my Garmoniya. Sensing me looking at her, she lifted her head and looked into my eyes holding my gaze. The way she gives me that half-open eyes look, like her eyelashes are too heavy to open them completely and the slant smirk that’s not supposed to be there, but she just can’t help it. That’s my look. That look gets me every time and she knows it. 

  Before I could get to the side of the park, Vlad was at full speed. His sole focus was Willow. The love of our lives was sitting at the same table laughing like they didn’t disappear for eight years and five months. Vlad could run all he wants, but I’m not. If anything, she should be running to me, but she doesn’t. She holds my gaze the whole walk to her table. Chess is ahead of me, but I can tell he’s having the same conflicted feelings as I am.

  As I stand in front of her, taking her in I can’t help but want to wrap her in my arms. A small part of me wants to smother her for leaving me. She looks leaner but fuller. I know she’s only 5’3 but she looks taller. Her hair is braided in the front but puffy and curly in the back reaching below her shoulders. She no longer has that black and red ombre color but it’s black with silver-like streaks. She looks older but so much sexier.

 We stayed staring, taking each other in until we hear little footsteps running and then screaming “mommy”. I watch Samuel and Carter clash into a woman I didn’t notice before. She was tall, with long black hair, slant dark brown eyes, and olive skin tone. She smiled at them and wrapped them in her arms. I watch as the kids look at me with what looks like recognition before glancing at the two other kids running our way.

 I watch as they clash into Harper like they were trying to tackle her down. She laughed, bent down to wrap her arms around them. The glimmer in her eyes drove me crazy. After the kids got their hugs, they all bowed to us and ran to Anastasia, Willow, and whom I can assume is Julius. They repeated the actions of the previous women and Julius talked to them in what I can figure out is Creole. The kids bowed again and ran to play.

 I have some serious questions, so many thoughts are running through my head. I’m not the only one. My brothers and I are looking at each other, having that silent conversation. We can tell that Samuel and Carter are Julius and that other women’s sons but who do the other two belong to?

We all heard Amora calling Anastasia Krestnyye materi. And from what we can see Amora, and Nicklaus are a package deal. So, if Anastasia is out then that leaves Harper and Willow. Once Chess figured it out, I can see him loosening his shoulders. I can see the wheels turning in Vlad’s head, he has this glint in his eyes like he just figured out the Crabby Patty secret formula. As much as I want to know what he was thinking about, I turned back to look at my Garmoniya.



 She looks like she’s studying me, calculating me, waiting on my next move. I make none. I won’t give her that satisfaction. She can’t run away from me, so she might as well start talking. I moved past her and sat down, waiting.
