Caught Between Two Billionaire Mafia's

The Life I Had

Lauren's POV

Danilo warned me not to fall in love with him. I had hoped not to fall in love with him but the heart always does what the heart wants. Despite his warnings, I couldn't help myself.

There are many nights that I would stay up at night and look at his handsome face, I would wonder how someone so handsome could be that cruel. I would gently run my hands through his face because I was in love with the man.

As time went on, I started to feel lonely. I even thought about getting a job but Dani forbade it. Even though we slept in the same bed, the man never touched me. I became jealous of the other woman. She might not be married to him but she had everything I wanted.

She had his attention, his affection and he had him, all that I had was his last name. I was just the woman he married. Then one day he came home and that night, I was surprised to see him in bed even before I got there, he didn't say anything, he kissed me and that night, he made love to me.

It was my first time and it was not as romantic as I had always imagined my first time would be, he was rough and it hurt. When morning came, he was back to his old self, treating me like I didn't exist. Then two months later, he did the same thing to me again, he came in and took what he wanted and when he was done, he rolled off me and went to take a shower.

It made me feel dirty, made me feel like I was something he needed to use from time to time. There are many times I wondered if I could survive my marriage and before I knew it, two years had passed. Two whole years I spent in a loveless marriage with a man who wanted nothing to do with me.

The sad part about this whole situation was that I was in love with him. I tried everything to get him to notice me, hoping that he would see me right next to him. I changed my hair, I joined a gym, and I even changed the way I dressed. All of those things went unnoticed.

I kept on hoping that someday, a day would come when he would finally see me as his wife, that he would see that I was in love with him, there isn't anything I wouldn't have done for him, I would have given him my life if he asked.

I knew exactly what I was getting myself into but I still had hope that it would all change, that someday Dani could love me like I loved him. Being a housewife was not what I wanted for myself, especially not for a husband who despised me.

Since I wasn't allowed to have friends, I made friends with my chef, Lona. We have gone out shopping a few times and earlier on today, she gave me a makeover. I looked at myself in the mirror and I couldn't recognize the woman staring back at me.

" Wow... I don't even look like myself," I said to Lona in awe.

It was not just the face that was different, even the clothes I was wearing were different. For one, I was wearing a short dress, a loose-fitting oversized black sequence t-shirt dress, and a pair of black block heels. My hair was tied up into a neat bun.

" That is the whole point," she said to me.

" I don't know, Dani won't like it," I said to her.

" Why does it matter? He is in another city on business, the only way he will know about tonight, is if you tell him. Lauren, it's just a few drinks, we will be back before midnight, I promise you," she said to me.

" Okay then, let's go clubbing," I said to her.

In the two years that I have been married to Danilo, I have never gone out for drinks, tonight I am going to a club. I have never been to a club, it's both exciting and scary. I never do anything without telling Danilo first, if he finds out, things might be worse than they already are.

We walked out and the driver was already waiting for us outside. That is the thing about being married to a millionaire husband, you don't get to do anything. I don't cook, I don't clean, I don't even drive myself.

" Ready to go ma'am?" Heavier said to me.

" Actually, we will be driving ourselves, you can take the night off," I said to him.

" But ma'am, Mr Caruso said that I should drive everywhere," he said to me.

" I know what he said but he is not here right now, " I said to him.

" I will get into trouble for this ma'am," he said to me.

" You will get into trouble only if he finds out about this," I said to him.

" yes ma'am," he said and gave me the keys.

I got into the car with Lola and I drove us to the club. I parked on the side of the road and we made our way inside the club. The place was packed, with people dancing and drinking.

" Come, let's go upstairs," she said.

I followed her up the stairs, there was a stripper pole upstairs, and exotic dancers dancing and giving people lap dances. I noticed that there were couches where one could use curtains for privacy. I sat down.

" I am going to get us drinks, I will be back," Lona said and left. I sat down and watched as the women danced, I watched how the men were enjoying the show. I was uncomfortable, this is new for me.

I stood up hoping to see the ladies' room when I bumped into someone, it was her perfume that caught my attention. I know that scent, not because I use it, but because my husband has come home many times with that same scent on his clothes.

I looked up and before me stood a beautiful woman, with blonde hair, a big bust, a small figure, a petite body, long legs, and a great sense of style. She was wearing a black jumpsuit with wide legs, six-inch stilettos, and a diamond necklace.

" Watch it!" she said to me rudely.

" I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," I said to her.

I don't know what it is but I couldn't take my eyes off her, I watched her as she walked to a table and sat on top of a guy, she whispered something in his ears while his hand touched her thighs up and down.

I watched as she kissed him and somehow, I was envious. I don't know this woman and I was jealous of her. I can tell that they love each other, at least he loves her enough to be with her in public, to love her in front of everyone, Danilo would never do anything like that with me.

The couple stood up and when they did, for a brief moment, the guy looked my way and my heart stopped beating for a minute. It was like I was seeing a ghost, it was Dani, that I was sure of, before I knew it, I followed them.

They went out of the club, hand in hand like a loving couple, I watched as they stood outside his car. He smiled when twirled in his arms, he kissed her and he lifted her into his arms, I felt bile in my stomach, I was sick, and all of my stomach contents came out.

He could never look at me the way he looks at her. For two years I have stayed with this man, there is a lot that he has done to me, a lot that I should have left him for, but the look he gave her, broke me.

I love him but he is clearly in love with another woman. He will never love me, how could he? He gave her all of his love. I couldn't stay there anymore, I had to leave.
