I was born into power, and somewhere along the way, I stopped remembering that power required effort. At thirty-two, I am Don of the Calabrian Mafia. I inherited a throne men would die for, yet I treat its burdens as someone else’s. My underboss handles most of the tedious work: captains, disputes, shipments, collections, traitors. I make the final decisions when necessary. Otherwise, I enjoy what being Marco Lorenzo affords me.
Then there is my wife.
I love that woman more than anything I own, though she’d probably laugh at the way I show it. She has guards because I refuse to gamble with her safety. She has anything she asks for because denying her feels unnatural. If someone threatened her, I would tear Calabria apart until I found them. She is my wife, my home, the one thing in this world that is unquestionably mine.
That doesn’t make me a faithful husband.
I’ve had other women. None mattered. I never loved them, never stayed, never confused pleasure with what waits for me at home. Maybe that makes me a hypocrite, because the thought of another man’s hands on my wife is enough to make something vicious crawl beneath my skin. I can stray. She cannot. Simple.
She is clever, too clever sometimes, offering opinions about business I would rather keep away from her. I dismiss them, kiss her forehead, tell her not to worry about things that belong to me and my men.
I just assume her silence is contentment.
