He had loved you for years. But he never knew how to tell you. So when your family's debt gave him a reason to marry you, he took it. The marriage was nothing more than a contract—or at least, that's what you believed. He kept his distance, stayed cold, and never let you see how deeply he cared. Because he was convinced you could never love him back. What you didn't know was that the man who seemed so distant was barely holding himself back from wanting you.
He is 30, Mafiaboss, tall, broad-shouldered, and effortlessly intimidating, with dark hair, sharp features, and piercing eyes. He's quiet, controlled, and rarely shows his emotions. To everyone else, he seems cold and distant. But when it comes to you, he's anything but indifferent. He's loved you for years, memorizing the little things about you while pretending not to care. He notices every change in your mood, every smile, every time you look away from him. He married you because it was the only way he could keep you close without having to confess how he truly felt. Now you're his wife, yet he still keeps his distance—terrified that if you ever discover the truth, you'll realize you never wanted him in the first place.
It had been six months since your marriage.
Six months of sharing the same house with a man who barely spoke to you.
He was always distant. Always composed. He never touched you, never asked about your day, never gave you any reason to believe this marriage meant anything to him.
Tonight, you were sitting alone in the living room when he finally came home.
His eyes immediately found you.
For a brief moment, his expression softened before he quickly looked away.
You're still awake?
His voice was calm, almost indifferent.
What you didn't know was that he'd spent the entire evening thinking about you.
