Rome

We pulled up to the restaurant and I was already ready to go home and get in my bed.

After visiting mamma Conti, I went home and washed my sheets. I'm 100% sure he slept in my bed. I found an old deadbolt lock in the torture room and put it on my door. Bet he can't pick that.

"Rome" he grabbed my hand and I pulled away.

"Yeah?"

"I know you don't want anything to do with me-"

"Very much"

He sighed "Magnus is a mad man. Just promise me you'll stay by my side."

"No Julian. I'm a big girl I got this. Now let me hit my blunt in peace please" I pulled my blunt out lighting it and taking a puff.

"You're really smoking right now?"

"Yup" I blew it in his face "Now go in there and meet the mad man"

After hitting my blunt I was fully relaxed and ready to deal with this damn situation. My cheating husband In the same room as the man I'm madly attracted to and brings the little lose Rome out. While we discreetly talk about killing my husband. In front of my husband.

Gotta love the mafia world.

"Mrs.Conti" Magnus smiled grabbing my hand and helping me into the seat "This is my brother Oskar and second in command."

"Please call me Rome"

"You look lovely" his brother said

"Thank you"

"That's actually my favorite color" Magnus said "Besides white"

"The contract Rome" Julian said

I handed Magnus the contract and a pen "White is a very pure meaning color. You look anything but pure Mr.Levin"

I seen his eyes gazing over the contract and he flipped a page back "I'm anything but pure. That is correct, Rome. I'm sure you've heard of the impure things I've done"

"No I haven't actually, do tell" I leaned on the table

"Rome" Julian grabbed my thigh. He leaned over whispering in my ear discreetly while kissing my cheek "Quick in and out that's it"

I smiled at him "He still has to review and make quick changes Julian"

"You have a beautiful and smart wife Julian. Ricardo speaks very highly of her" Magnus said not even looking up from the contract

"She is" He grabbed my hand kissing it "Couldn't ask for a better woman"

"I don't think anyone would. Make sure you worship her. Not many women are like her from what Ricardo says" Oskar said

I started laughing "You guys are making me sound like a goddess or something" I said looked at Magnus.

Magnus looked up at me with a smirk and I took a sip of my water. Julian cleared his throat "Is everything to your liking?"

"Actually" he handed Oskar the contract "I need to speak with you alone, Oskar you got this"

Oskar nodded his head and started to look through the papers. Magnus and Julian walked out and I took this time to look at the paper my dad gave me. It just had the number 7 on it.

"7" I said looking at Oskar

He looked up "I'm aware your Ricardos daughter" he said and I kept my face neutral.

Ricardo didn't acknowledge me as his daughter in the mafia world. I was just a girl who worked for him that happened to marry his second in command. It kept him safe and me and Romeo.

He handed me a flash drive "That's everything on your husband"

"Hopefully more than his women?" I tucked it in my bra.

"I'm not exactly allowed to say. Per your dads request."

"Great. I'm a errand girl. Might as well call me Julian"

He chuckled "The contract is very detailed. Nothing goes without your say so. Magnus has taken a very unhealthy liking to you, and is willing to risk his reputation"

"I'm not jumping into another relationship let alone with a psychopath like Magnus. It's either you handle it or not"

"I completely understand and agree with you. However my brother is not the one to think rationally. His terms are you become his Julian is taken care of. Simple"

"Simple?" I scoffed "if my father's reputation wasn't on the line I would kill him myself. You've killed plenty of our men before we agreed to be allies. What's one more?"

"You can see how this goes in a circle Rome. Each option you think of somebody's reputation is at risk. You can spare your fathers and risk my brothers. You already like him so what's the harm?"

"The harm? The harm is-" I seen Magnus and Julian walking back to the table.

"When you do decide to sign, we'll be waiting"

"Julian were done here" I grabbed the envelope from Oskar "Nice doing business"

Julian took my hand in his and we started to walk away but Magnus called my name "Rome?"

I turned around "Yes?"

"2 days from now I'm expecting a shipment from your father. Let him know I'm requesting it being delivered tomorrow"

"If he set the date for 2 days then you should stick with that. Or just cancel" I raised an eyebrow at him "Cancel?"

"Most definitely not, but I'm willing to pay extra for an earlier delivery"

I turned around facing him "There is an order that we follow in our business. It is why we've been in power so long. Successfully. You either get along or stop wasting my fathers time. Understood?"

"Completely. Two days it is"

I walked back to the car breathing heavy from frustration. I got in the car speeding off.

"What happened in there Rome?"

I looked at him like he lost his mind. "You! You are what happened. All you had to do was keep your dick in your pants and be faithful to your WIFE. Everyone knows you cheat! For fucks sake Julian" I hit the wheel "So fucking embarrassing" I mumbled "I hope whoever you've been fucking is worth it."

We pulled up to the house and I leaned my head back against the head rest.

"Rome I'm-"

"Sorry I know. Just let me file for divorce, we can manage the reputation, but I am done" I put my hand on my face

"You're not leaving me"

"Fine. I'll just start fucking then, some gaurds, maybe some of my dads friends. Magnus looks like he could fuck me real good-"

Julian grabbed my throat slamming me into the window and I elbowed him "Rome you done lost your fucking mind!"

"Yeah that happens when your husband is constantly cheating on you and your miserable as hell! Let me go Julian. Neither of us are happy"

"No" he got out the car and walked into the house
