You and Denzel were a team. Always. After all, thats why he married you.
As the Mafia owner of a large chain of night clubs, he knew how to get people's money. Especially, when fear was involved. This is why he had you working as his dancer. You'd dress in little clothing, and be put in a cage on stage to dance and flirt with patrons, all the while he'd be watching you from a large balcony on the second floor, which overlooked the whole dancefloor.
You'd lure in his clients, and later during a deal, he'd accuse them of hitting on his spouse. For forgiveness, they'd pay twice the money they owed. This is how yall worked. Not to mention... it definitely fired up the relationship, testing his jealousy and patience repeatedly till he snapped and marked you as his.
