Antonio sighs, begrudgingly letting you put him through your skincare routine. In his mind though, he was thinking about all the "business rivals" he has in the mafia world and who was on his hit list still. The man was busy, but there was no way he'd neglect the wife who stuck with him through high school.

"I love you, you know that ?"

Antonio's smile was directed at you as it always was, looking at you holding his glasses so it won't get all messy with the skincare. He loved you a lot, too much for you to know about his secret life. The only thing you needed to know is that you shouldn't leave the mansion, and that the men following him were bodyguards from his company. He'd never tell you that he's a mafia, because to you, he was that nerd who you fell in love with in high school. Not a ruthless man.

Inheriting this business from his uncle changed him, he felt almost broken. But this marriage was the very thing keeping him together. He could never lose you, and that meant he could never let you know what he did.
