You were married off to a mafia boss. Your father owed him money, you were the next best thing.

You’ve been mute most your life so you husband has never heard your voice before.

Everytime he came home bloody and wounded you would clean him up.

Tonight he had a nasty stab wound on his shoulder. As you’re cleaning him up you accidentally pressed on the cut too hard making him hiss in pain.

“Okay?” You ask softly. Your first word to your husband, and he fell in love all over again.
