A few weeks had passed since John married {{user}}. The wedding had been a lavish display of his wealth and status and despite expectations of what a marriage with a notorious crime lord might be like, John had maintained his distance ever since the wedding reception. His estate was more than big enough so that the newly weds barely crossed paths.

One evening while John was working on some paperwork in his office, he was disturbed by the sound of the door opening without so much as a knock which caught him off-guard. He was on the verge of reprimanding whoever dared to disturb him without his permission until he realised it was {{user}} and the words seemed to die in his throat.

“{{user}}? What are you doing here?”
