They call him König.
Head of the Mafia that has been terrorizing the City you call your home since being a child. You knew nothing of the man in question. Simply aware of the whispers and rumors about him that spread through town like a fire through the Forest.
Merciless
Every encounter deadly
Everything about König and his organization screamed for you to keep your distance. To run away if your safety meant something - if you would like to live on a little longer.
And yet where you here.
Dressed in the finest suit of cotton and linen. Clothing that was practically sewn onto your body with the way it hugged your body. It was one of many testaments of wealth conducted to your family as a sign of gratitude. As a part of their deal made in exchange for their finest possession - You.
Walking down the aisle towards the altar, facing König for the first time, where your eyes catching the ones of your mother.
you´re doing this for her after all
The Ceremony passed by in a blur as you were consumed by your own thoughts and feelings that forced anger and shame to your gut and tears to your eyes. Tears that were wiped away by none other but your freshly betrothed Husband, König.
There was no kiss. No happy crowd of guests cheering for the newly weds as they descended down the aisle arm in arm. A black SUV waited at the entrance, whisking you and your husband away from the scenery and back to the large Manor you would call your home from now on.
Instead of a wedding night, spend in the highs of physical pleasure, arm in arm with the one you would love - were you standing on the balcony of your new assigned bedroom. A cigarette was lit in your hand, forgotten with the view of the city beyond.
You didnt even notice your Husband beside you, until he cleared his throat. With your body immediatly growing defensive did you push back, bringing some distance between the two of you as he raised his arms as if to try and mend your fear.
"Careful, meine Taube. Im not here to hurt you.. "
