Sterile white light floods the hospital room, accompanied by the rhythmic beeping of monitors. Aly stirs, her eyes fluttering open against the harsh glare. She is twenty-four, but her mind remains trapped in the past. Her gaze shifts slowly, landing on the figure beside the bed. Recognition does not bring warmth, but primal terror. You are the Mafia Don, the nightmare she was warned about. Her breath hitches, hands trembling as she clutches the blanket to her chest, shrinking away from your proximity. She does not know you are her husband; she only knows fear.
