My Cheating Wife Shocked: I'm the octomillionaire Heir

CHAPTER 2

Carina stood up slowly from the cold concrete driveway while a bright and genuine smile replaced her terrifying tears. She had successfully survived the absolute worst night of her life.

"I should host a private luxury dinner for you and Caroline tomorrow evening." Carina smoothed out the wrinkles on her expensive designer skirt, trying to look presentable. "I want to apologize to her directly and resolve our silly little rivalry permanently."

"Do not bother." Darius looked far into the dark empty street without a single ounce of emotion. "Caroline and I are completely done."

Carina felt a sudden thrill of pure overwhelming joy as her mind raced with incredible possibilities. Her biggest business rival was throwing away a literal god. Caroline was an absolute fool who cared only about money and status. Carina knew she could easily win his favor now, becoming the most powerful woman in the city if she played her cards correctly.

"Perhaps you need a strong drink tonight." Carina stepped a little closer to him, offering a warm and inviting look. "Let me take you to an exclusive private bar in the city center where you can finally take a proper break."

Darius felt a heavy and exhausting weight in his chest. His three long years of cooking and cleaning were a complete waste of time. He desperately needed a distraction from the stinging betrayal. He remembered how cold and completely indifferent Caroline was towards him at home. Meanwhile, towards Lorenzo, she was so incredibly sweet and exceptionally kind. Lorenzo was always her absolute first priority, while Darius was treated like dirt. He nodded slowly at the offer.

Loud electronic music filled the dimly lit room as bright neon lights flashed across the crowded dance floor. Carina leaned heavily against the smooth wooden counter of the VIP area. She held a crystal glass of incredibly expensive wine, her cheeks flushed bright red from the strong alcohol.

"You are so incredibly handsome up close." Carina traced her slender finger on the wet wooden surface. "Caroline must be completely blind to treat you like useless dirt because you are absolutely perfect."

Darius ignored her obvious flirting entirely. He simply watched the large square ice cube melt slowly in his whiskey glass. His thoughts were still painfully stuck on his completely ruined marriage.

A bulky and aggressive man walked straight up to their private table. He wore a tight black shirt and a thick shiny gold chain around his thick neck. His name was Marco. He stared hungrily at Carina with deeply predatory eyes, completely ignoring Darius.

"What is a beautiful gorgeous woman like you doing with this pathetic loser?" Marco slammed his heavy dirty hand directly onto their clean table.

Darius did not even look at the loud man. He simply took a slow and quiet sip of his cold drink.

"Get away from us right now." Carina glared fiercely at the bulky stranger. "You are completely ruining my perfect relaxing evening, so leave immediately."

"You clearly need a real man tonight." Marco laughed loudly and obnoxiously while leaning closer to her face. "You do not need this skinny piece of trash who looks like a cheap servant who cleans dirty toilets for a living. He is absolute dirt compared to me."

"I am the supreme CEO of the regional fashion group." Carina stood up unsteadily on her high heels. "I will have the bar security throw you out into the street garbage."

"I do not care about your stupid little clothing company." Marco grabbed her delicate wrist violently. "My older brother is Vincenzo, and he runs the biggest ruthless mafia family in this entire city. You are coming with me right now."

Carina lost all her healthy color instantly. Her mind screamed in absolute terrifying panic. Vincenzo was a notorious and ruthless monster who destroyed entire wealthy families just for pure fun. She absolutely could not afford to provoke the local mafia because her company would burn to the ground. Her legs shook wildly in pure fear as she deeply regretted coming here tonight. She truly thought her life was completely over.

"Let go of her hand." Darius placed his glass down gently on the table.

"Shut up you worthless piece of street dirt." Marco sneered loudly with ugly stained yellow teeth. "Keep your pathetic mouth shut before I break every single bone in your scrawny weak body. You are nothing but a disgusting bug beneath my heavy shoe."

Darius stood up completely calmly without showing a single ounce of fear. He grabbed the thick gold chain tightly around the thug's sweaty neck. He pulled Marco forward forcefully and smashed his own knee directly into the man's stomach.

Marco gasped violently for air as a massive wave of public humiliation washed over him. He truly thought this skinny man would just cower in absolute fear. Darius slammed the thug's head straight down onto the heavy solid wooden table. The loud sickening crack silenced the surrounding crowd immediately. Marco fell straight to the dirty floor in a pathetic whimpering heap, his stomach burning in absolute agony.

"You are a completely dead man!" Marco spat dark red blood onto the wooden floor. "My brother is drinking right now in the VIP room upstairs, and he will skin you alive for doing this to me!"

Heavy stomping footsteps echoed loudly down the wooden stairs. A tall muscular man with a deeply scarred face walked aggressively into the main room. Five large armed bodyguards followed closely behind him. This was the terrifying Vincenzo.

"Who dared to touch my little brother?" Vincenzo roared loudly like an angry starving beast.

"This disgusting poor loser attacked me!" Marco pointed a shaking bloody finger directly at Darius.

Vincenzo glared at Darius with pure burning intense hatred. The entire bar crowd backed away in absolute quiet horror because everyone knew Darius was completely doomed. Nobody ever survived crossing paths with the terrifying Vincenzo.

"You are a dead piece of worthless trash." Vincenzo pulled out a very sharp silver metal knife. "I will cut you into tiny little pieces and feed you to the hungry stray dogs. You are absolute dirt, and your pathetic life ends tonight."

Darius pulled his sleek black phone from his coat pocket. He dialed a highly encrypted private number slowly, knowing exactly who controlled this pathetic local gang. The call connected almost instantly.

"Tell your wild dog to back off." Darius spoke quietly and firmly into the phone.

Darius extended his arm forward, holding the phone out directly toward Vincenzo.

"Are you calling the useless police like a little crying coward?" Vincenzo laughed mockingly and cruelly while snatching the phone aggressively from Darius. "Hello? Who is this pathetic poor loser trying to call for help?"

A deep and terrifyingly familiar voice echoed loudly through the phone speaker.

Vincenzo dropped his shiny knife instantly. The metal blade clattered loudly on the wooden floor as all the color drained completely from his deeply scarred face. His entire muscular body started to tremble uncontrollably while his mind broke in sheer terror. He recognized the supreme boss's voice immediately, knowing the boss could wipe out his entire bloodline with a single snap of his fingers.

"I am so incredibly sorry boss." Vincenzo fell straight to his knees onto the hard floor. "I did not know it was him at all, so please forgive my stupid blindness."

Vincenzo handed the phone back with wildly shaking hands. He turned around immediately with eyes full of absolute panic and kicked his own brother directly in the ribs with brutal force.

"You stupid piece of useless garbage!" Vincenzo punched Marco brutally in the face. "You offended a literal god tonight! Do you want to get our entire mafia family killed in one single hour? Apologize to him right now on your knees!"

Marco curled into a tight ball on the floor. He cried out in extreme blinding pain as his own brother continued to beat him without any hesitation or mercy. The surrounding crowd gasped in absolute complete shock.

Carina watched the entire brutal scene in complete stunned awe. She knew Darius was immensely powerful, but she definitely did not expect the city's most terrifying mafia boss to cower and beg like a completely frightened field mouse. She finally realized just how massive his hidden empire truly was.

"We are leaving now." Darius turned his broad back on the bleeding crying men.
