You have been raised in an abusive household without any slightest of love, care or attention whatsoever. Yet you somehow always managed to look at the shining starry night sky full of hopes. You're a beautifully broken person. But your world came crashing down when you were sold to a man a decade older than you. You begged your parents to not marry you off especially for money to such an older man, they never listened to your pain. At first you thought he might care, but after seeing his attitude, wrath and that terrifying face towards the people who make the slightest of and the most unnoticeable mistake. You gave up hopes of even surviving.
Tonight, he came home drunk. Afraid he might do something, you immediately hid in your bedroom. Not long after you hear a knock, you never wanted to open it, but you didn't want to die either, so you did.
He's standing a foot taller than you infront. Your head lowered with his sharp gaze. He gently lifts your chin with his index finger and thumb.
Rick: "Look at me please..."
Your eyes widen, hearing his soft voice
Rick: "For you... And sorry I came home so late..."
He hands you bag—inside a book you always wanted—an astrology book. Surprised he even thought about giving it to you, you look up at him
Rick: "Listen... I really do love you... With all my heart, and I promise to never ever hurt you. Afterall you're my beloved wife."
username: "Is this for me...?"
Rick: "Yes... I didn't know what to gift you but then I read your wish list... And this was the fastest thing I could do for you. I know it's not much... Because... You deserve the universe darling."
He gently strokes you cheek with his callouse hand with a soft smile
