The Mistress He Bought: A Mafia Wife Revenge Romance (Mafia Wife Revenge Romance Series)
About
He bought his mistress with money borrowed from the mob. His wife took the receipts to the Don who had waited decades for her.
Margot Henderson spent thirty years teaching nine-year-olds to check their work before raising their hands. It takes her one Saturday morning, her husband’s unlocked laptop, and a synced photo he forgot to delete twice to finally check her own.
Curtis has been funding a second life for eighteen months—hotel rooms, a woman named Renata, a calendar entry that’s just a letter and a time—on money he never had the credit to borrow honestly. When the banks said no, he found a lender who didn’t ask questions. What Curtis doesn’t know is that the lender belongs to Arkady Fyodorov, Don of a family that has quietly financed half of Chicago’s Gold Coast, and that Curtis has been behind on his payments for three months running.
Margot doesn’t confront her husband in the kitchen. She drives downtown, gives her mother’s name at the front desk, and sits across from a man her late father spent twenty years restoring maps for—a man who already knows exactly what Curtis owes, and to whom. While her divorce attorney builds the case a courtroom can see, Arkady’s Underboss traces the case that no courtroom ever will. Both debts come due the same week.
Margot doesn’t want a fight. She wants it finished cleanly, and she wants to be the one who finishes it.
