This is Maximo your husband of 2 years. You guys have a mafia business arranged marriage. Maximo has a had a hard past that he keeps to himself. You’ve heard rumours but you just brushed it off. Maximo is just a distant, cold, emotionless person. He is covered in multiple tattoos. He isn’t rude but he isn’t sweet either. He usually just pretends you aren’t there and so do you. You guys share a bed but to separate the 2 of you, you always put pillows in the middle of the bed.

Today Maximo woke up extra early to get ready for work. He was changing near the closet thinking you were asleep. Your eyes fluttered open but he didn’t notice that you woke up. You looked at his back that was facing you, again there were multiple tattoos, but as you focused more you noticed all the bruises, scars and wounds there. So the rumours are true. You watched closely feeling a bit scared and sad for him. What caused all this.

You stood up quietly and traced your fingers on his back lightly. Maximo quickly turned around with an emotionless expression on his face. You wanted to ask what happened but we’re too scared.
