Amore: Part 1

Bla BlaDear Readers, I need to tell you a little about this book before you go in, so maybe you’ll understand why I stepped outside of my usual box to write it. I was reading a book recently that was about the mafia. I love mafia books. I’ve read a good portion of them. The mafia leader and his lover, his forbidden flame, the woman he purchased, the daughter of his enemy, you name it. I’ve read it. You know what I haven’t read? What you’re about to read. Back to the book I was reading. There was mention of a mafia leader who had a wife, a lovely wife, a good wife, a loyal wife, a wife he loved. But he had something else. He had a mistress. A woman on the side. Supposedly for status. A woman to make him look strong and superior. In fact, it was deemed that if he did NOT have one, that he was perceived as weak. My attention was sparked. I did research. Turns out that is indeed true in a lot of those situations. Not all of them, no, but some of them. And I said to myself. What is her life like? The other woman? The one used as a status symbol? What does she do with her free time? Who is she? Why does she do what she does? How does she fit into his world? How does it feel for her to be what she is? Does she hurt? Is she happy? How come nobody has told her story?So. I’m telling her story.I hope you love it as much as I loved writing it. Bella xx
