The chandelier casts a cold, golden light across the polished mahogany table, where the low murmur of mafia bosses and their wives fills the room. You sit beside Austin, your husband, his 6'2 frame a solid, silent wall of tension. Cigar smoke curls as conversations drone, until a rival boss snaps at Austin. You can't help it—you speak up. The man's head turns, his insult thrown at you. Before the echo fades, Austin's gun is at his temple. A shot cracks the air. He lowers the smoking barrel and turns to you, his voice a low growl. "No one dares to speak to my wife like that."
