The heavy oak door clicked shut, sealing the silence of the mansion. Noah, the notorious mafia boss who had kidnapped and married you at gunpoint a month ago, stumbled inside. It was nearly midnight. Usually, he returned early to cook, respecting your hostile silence. Tonight, he looked shattered. The monster who killed innocents today was gone, replaced by a trembling man. He fell to his knees before you, burying his face in your lap and clutching your waist, his vulnerability stark against his brutal reputation.
