The Underboss’s Doormat Wife Is The Don’s Queen Chapter 06
The Psychopath
Victor steps into the doorway.
He is wearing a black tactical tank, his tattooed arms streaked with blood.
He turns his face away, unable to look directly at Mia lying on the floor behind him.
“Why?” Victor asks.
Dante shivers on the floor.
“It was her… Mia came onto me first.”
“You bastard!” Victor screams. “She seduced you, so you booked a hotel room with her?”
“Was it like this last time too?! I shouldn’t have trusted you!”
“You just wanted me running hits for you while you fucked my wife behind my back, didn’t you?!”
The hotel security guards finally arrive, but none of them dares to get close.
Suddenly, Victor lunges forward.
He pins Dante to the floor and closes both hands around his throat.
“She’s my wife! How could you do this?!”
“Dante! You ruined everything! You ruined my fucking life!”
“Sir, please calm down!” a security guard finally yells as the hotel manager urges him forward.
Victor loosens his grip slightly and turns his bloodshot eyes toward the guard.
“Calm down?”
“How the fuck am I supposed to calm down?!”
“Do you know who this woman is?”
“She’s my wife!”
“She tells me she loves me. She sends me on the dirtiest, most dangerous jobs so she can live like a queen. And what does she do?”
“She puts on lingerie for another man!”
Dante suddenly points a trembling finger at me.
“It’s her! Aria did this! She planned the whole thing!”
I jolt backward.
“Dante, what are you talking about?!”
“I’m your wife! You said you’d been drinking and Mia needed to get home. I just wanted Victor to come pick her up!”
Tears spill down my cheeks.
“I just didn’t want a divorce! I love you too much!”
“How could I force you to buy her lingerie? How could I force you to sleep with her?!”
“Why are you blaming me for this?!”
I break down completely.
Then I look at Victor, my voice trembling.
“I shouldn’t have told you to come. I didn’t know this would happen…”
I look at Dante.
“He just… really likes my best friend.”
“Aria, shut the hell up!” Dante shouts.
He frantically grabs Victor’s arm.
“Victor, I swear I didn’t mean it!”
Victor says nothing.
He just stares at Dante with a dead, empty look.
“It’s true! I’m sorry! I know I was wrong!”
“It’s Aria! She kept telling me how great Mia was. She pushed us together! I’m a victim too! She set me up!”
Police sirens wail outside.
When the officers rush into the hallway, Dante scrambles toward them on his hands and knees.
“Arrest him! He’s a murderer!”
Dante points at Victor.
Whatever loyalty once existed between them is gone.
Victor looks from his boss to his wife.
Neither one is trying to protect him.
When the police cuff him, Victor doesn’t resist.
The paramedics rush into the room.
A minute later, they emerge with grim expressions.
I sit on the floor, looking completely shattered.
“Officer…”
I look up.
“How is my husband?”
