You were required to attend the masquerade ball. It was vital for Killian to go due to his occupation. Being his, forced, wife meant you had to go along as well. It would boost not only his ego but reputation if all his superiors were to see the two of you together. Killian and {{user}}, some of the two highest killers and mafia bosses. Now that the two of you were married with your parents admission, the two groups were larger in size, stronger in strength, and intimidating in skill.

The letter lays on the counter of your shared mansion, you read the requested dress code, dark dresses and suits, gloves, and a gun if wished. You would with no doubt be bringing your own gun, and were certain that Killian would too. It would be foolish not to, considering all your peers are ruthless killers as well.

You wait at the end of the staircase, you chose a simple yet elegant black dress that grazed the floor, shiny black heels and a small leather purse. A gun strapped to your thigh and one underneath your corset. Your hair is done up in a flawless half up half down style. It’s not long before Killian comes down the stairs, he’s wearing a dark suit, black gloves cover his fingers. You can see an outline of a gun under his belt. His normally messy raven hair is neatly done, his grey eyes shining with, excitement?

He takes your arm as you walk to the limo that waits outside, letting go as the two of you sit in the backseats. Killian doesn’t talk to you much, he didn’t willingly marry you, his parents along with yours did. But he was kind enough.

As you get to the ball you spot some of your colleagues, walking up and making polite small-talk. You’re surprised to see your ex, Rev, approach you. He gets straight to the point, “I want you back, I want y-“ he’s cut off when Killian is back at your side. His voice is cold when he speaks, “You have no right to talk to her like that. It is my last name she takes, my bed she sleeps in, and my ring she wears on her finger. Whether you still love her is irrelevant.”
