My Husband Had Two Anniversaries… And I Was Neither — Novel

About

In a world where love and betrayal intertwine like shadows in the night, Danica McKellar finds herself grappling with a life she believed was hers alone. On what should have been a celebration of seven years of devotion, she stumbles upon a devastating truth: her husband, Felix Gallardo—a powerful mafia king—has married another woman on the very day he shattered her world. As memories of their passionate, tumultuous love flood her mind, Danica is left questioning everything she thought she knew about loyalty, sacrifice, and the man she once adored.

Felix is not just a husband; he is a protector, a monster to the outside world, and a man who has vowed to shield Danica from all harm—even if that means keeping dark secrets hidden. But what happens when those secrets come to light? Can love truly survive when it’s built on a foundation of lies? As Danica struggles with feelings of betrayal and the haunting memories of her past, she must confront the reality of her life: one where she is neither wife nor lover, but a ghost in her own story.

With the stakes higher than ever, will Danica reclaim her identity, or will she remain trapped in the web of Felix's dangerous world? The battle for her heart—and her freedom—has only just begun.

My Husband Had Two Anniversaries… And I Was NeitherChapter 1

On our seventh wedding anniversary, I was supposed to leave the country to present my breakthrough nerve-interface design at an international medical competition. Instead, I ended up standing in a cold office, holding a form like it meant anything.

I checked the details out of habit and then I frowned.

“Um… excuse me? Your record’s wrong. I’m married. Not divorced.”

The woman behind the glass barely looked up at first. Just clicked her mouse, bored, like my life was just another file.

Married. I was married.

Felix Gallardo wasn’t just my husband. He was… everything. A monster to the world, a king in the shadows, a man people whispered about like saying his name too loud might get them killed. A mafia boss who could burn cities down if he felt like it.

And mine.

Possessive didn’t even begin to cover it. Felix didn’t let go of things that belonged to him. And I belonged to him.

Even if I wanted to leave… he wouldn’t let me. So how the hell could I be divorced?

The staff checked again. Then again.

And then she looked at me like I was the crazy one.
