Michael's Marriage To Apollonia Was About Power
From the moment he killed McCluskey and Sollozzo, Michael was overwhelmed by the concept of power. He wasn't interested in spending time in Italy after the murders – partly due to having to leave home, but also because it was now clear to him that he was different.
Michael truthfully tells her that he's had a woman since they've been parted (he can feel her annoyance and hurt) but not in the past six months. Michael tactfully doesn't mention his marriage.
Michael has become a true Corleone (embracing both Italian culture and mob affiliation), and his marriage to Apollonia signifies Michael's official acceptance of this change and what it means for his future.
Singer and actress Apollonia Kotero told The Associated Press that she and Vanity first met in the late '80s, after Kotero had idolized her for years.
Prince dated Apollonia Kotero, his Purple Rain co-star, from 1983 to 1984. Prince was frequently photographed with actress Kim Basinger in 1989. Carmen Electra and her career were hugely influenced by Prince. They dated shortly in the early 1990s.
He then flees to Sicily, where he falls in love with Simonetta Stefanelli's Apollonia. Tragically, she's later killed in a car bomb planted by Michael's bodyguard Fabrizio (Angelo Infanti), who betrayed him to his enemies. While Michael gets revenge on those who ordered the hit, Fabrizio is never seen again.

Yes. NB: Unlike other answers so far, this answer is according to the novel. Michael did indeed love Kay. It was not the overwhelming passion he had felt for Apollonia, but it was love just the same.
After telling Michael that he has never met Ola, Fredo later carelessly tells Geary that he had been to a nightclub with Ola. Michael overhears the conversation and realizes that Fredo betrayed him to Roth.
The exact quote is something like this. “My name is Michael Corleone. Now there are people who would pay you a lot of money for that information. But then your daughter would lose a father instead of gaining a husband.”
At the very end of the movie, Michael lies to his wife, Kay, about having Carlo killed. This shows that he's set his course: she won't be able to be a part of his real world and will be shut out from seeing his true, ruthless nature in action.
After her brother's debut concert, the assassin Mosca tries to kill Michael. One bullet grazes Michael's shoulder, but the other accidentally hits Mary in the torso, fatally wounding her.
Michael removes Hagen as consigliere in favor of having Vito fill the position, restricting Hagen to handling the family's legal business in Nevada, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Michael and Vito explain that the Corleones risk inciting a fight with the planned move to Nevada, and they need a "wartime consigliere".
While in Havana, Michael learned that Fredo betrayed him when Fredo accidentally let it slip that he and Johnny Ola had been to a sex show in Havana. He confronted Fredo at a New Year's party in Havana, telling Fredo that he knew he was the traitor, and that he broke Michael's heart.
Of course, it is at this moment that Michael realizes it was Fredo who betrayed him to Hyman Roth, as in the previous scene Fredo pretended to have just met Johnny. However, there is much more going on in this exchange than simply calling back to Fredo's response to Johnny in the previous scene.
When Sonny found out, he ordered Clemenza to have Paulie – "that stronz" (Italian for «turd»), as Sonny called him–killed on the spot. Clemenza considered Paulie's treachery to be a personal affront, and was only too happy to arrange Paulie's execution.
Neither Don Vito nor his son Michael cheated on their wives in The Godfather. It's not in their system to engage in marital infidelity. Allow me to state my case. During his younger days with wife Carmela, Don Vito hates the Tataglias whose primary businesses are illegal drugs and prostitution.
Because a group of men threatened Michael's father, Vito Corleone, and the well-being of the Corleone Family. As much as Michael had always dreamed of a life outside the underworld, he was loyal to his father and his family.
To her, being the wife of Michael would be like inheriting a large fortune by virtue of her Italian heritage. In the Corleone estate, Apollonia would be protected, not to be harmed by the enemies of the Corleone. The car bomb that killed her in Sicily was an accident.
Michael and Vito might have placed some of the blame for Sonny's assassination on Tom. Though it turns out that Carlo Rizzi plotted with Barzini to set Sonny up, Michael and Vito probably believed that Tom didn't do enough to stop Sonny from leaving the safety of the family compound that day to find Carlo.
Apollonia was sixteen or seventeen at the time. Calò and Fabrizio told Michael that he had been hit by what Italians call "the Thunderbolt" – a powerful, almost dangerous longing in a man for a particular woman.
“Her and I used to love each other deeply. She loved me for the artist I was, I loved her for the artist she was trying to be,” Prince said on stage in Melbourne in February. Prince and Vanity met at the American Music Awards in 1980. They famously posed together on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine in April 1983.
