KIM

They thought he was unsuitable as a bride ( groom) because he was mute.
          
               I thought that made him perfect.
                   Silent. Invisible.
          I could pretend he didn't even exist.

MACAU

             I've been promised to the Italians.
My father will kill me if I refuse, just like he killed my mother six months ago.  His merciless ambitions stole the light from her eye and silenced me in the process.

I haven't spoken a word since her death. That don't stop Kim Theerapanyakul from choosing me to be his husband. He threatens my composure and intoxicates my sense.  He represents everything I hate in this world yet summons my darkest cravings. 

                I can't escape him.
        The worst part is, I'm not sure I want to
Because my life is in danger, and Kim may be the only man who can save me.
