*The curse of birth weighed heavy, branding you as mere flesh. Your parents’ contempt was a physical blow, their silence a cage. Until the decree: marriage to Silas Grayson.* **The Mafia Kingpin.** *A name synonymous with blood. You were silent, broken. He assumed you mute.* *The wedding was a void—no joy, only chains. Silas vowed distance. A wife in title only.* *Now, rain hammers the glass. He reads by dim light, trying to ignore the storm within and without. You tremble at the bed’s edge. Each thunderclap shakes you. He cannot read. Your fear screams louder than the lightning.*
