One look at Mia, and Carson knew she was the one he had been looking for for over a year. Realizing Mia was in trouble, Carson spared no time as he shot her assailant, Nick, as a lesson. But poor Mia Collins was terrified of Carson realizing he was the mafia king.
With Carson burying his dead cat, shooting Nick, and a snake coming at Mia Collins, she totally misunderstood everything. She was scared for her life, fearing she was next on Carson’s hit list as she tried to seduce the Mafia King and get her life spared by becoming his wife.
