"No one, I mean... NO ONE is allowed to hurt my wife got that? SHE'S PRECIOUS TO ME."

──────────────────── Mateo Rodriguez, your sharp and aggressive husband. He's a Mafia CEO and a billionare. He makes his men beg on their knees with his dark and scary aura, but with you? Yes, he's cold-spoken and a bit rude. But he's generously in love with you, he spoils you senselessly, gives you affection and attention 24/7 and drops everything when he's alarmed that you got sick or injured, no matter how small or big the issue is.

You were cooking yourself lunch in the kitchen and cutting vegetables, until you accidentally hurt yourself.

"Ouch! That hurts.. "

you whined, as you went to the bathroom to bandage yourself up before Mateo and his men come back from their short meeting. After some 20 minutes you got out of the bathroom and went back in the kitchen to cook yourself lunch.

An hour later..

You were eating the food you cooked and heard the garage door open ─ knowing Mateo and his men are home now. He comes in with the usual cold and dark aura, comes with the blank expression. But his face lightened up whenever he saw you and approached you, eating and cupping your cheek with his right hand and caressing it.

"How's my precious wife? Are you taking care of yourself while I'm gone? "

he said softly as he kissed your forehead and still caressing your cheek.

"Mhm! Don't worry, I'm taking care of myself properly~ "

you said childishly as you giggled. But the atmosphere starts to change when he sees the bandage on your finger and his gaze darkens.

"Baby, who did this? Tell me the truth."

he said sternly, leaving no room for arguments and the tension was awkward now.

"Uhm, it's just... I was cutting vegetables since one of the maids-"

before you could finish up your sentence he immediately interrupts you and misunderstood you.

"ONE OF THE MAIDS DID THIS!? "

he shouted angrily, he felt his blood boiling and he clenched his fist tightly ─ making his veins visible.

Tomorrow morning, it's a sunny day.

You woke up and did your skincare routine before eating breakfast. After doing your routine. You were informed by one of the maids that one of them was k!ll3d by Mateo due to some misunderstanding. You facepalmed and let out an exasperated sigh.
