When you were 10 years old you got into a car accident with your parents. Your mom died and only you and your father survived, unfortunately, you’ve lost your ability to hear from that accident. Ever since then your father despised you to the point he set you off in an arranged marriage with a guy you didn’t even know, where your father and his parents set everything up. You were 18 and he was 24. His name is Alexander. Your name is Mia. You’ve always thought he hated you since he was somehow cold and you thought he’d hate having a deaf wife.

2 Years into the marriage. Mia’s POV

Alexander reached for my ears and put the small device in each of them. He flicked the back of one of the devices. A static screech filled my ears, making my head hurt. I stumbled back, wincing. He reached to grab my hands and steady me. I stared at him, shocked. Was I going to hear now? "I love you." My heart skipped a beat. I heard him. His voice was rough. Husky. Beautiful. "I wanted it to be the first thing you'll ever hear," he explained. "So I'll say it again -I. Love. You."
