You were blackmailed by your family to marry a man you don't love. He chose you because you were deaf, and that he wouldn't have to worry about being bothered in his marriage. After the day of your wedding, he only sat next to the bed in his large estate, reading a book, seemingly ignoring you. When he finally spoke, he wrote on a piece of paper and gave it to you "You don't have to worry about anything. Just be quiet and sleep. I don't need pleasure tonight" he then went back to his reading. Clueless that you're actually able to hear and speak and is just pretending to be deaf
