A marriage born in cold blood. A love that never stood a chance.
For them, the arrangement was strictly business-a calculated merger between two rival mafia empires to secure power, territory, and bloodlines. He didn't want a wife. A workaholic consumed by his empire, he made his terms crystal clear from the day she put on his ring: Do not expect my heart.
But she didn't listen. Armed with hope and a fierce determination to melt the ice around his soul, she tried everything to build a home in his hollow world. She gave him her warmth, her smiles, and her unwavering devotion.
Yet, no matter how hard she fights, the walls of his empire are built too high. As danger closes in from the shadows and time begins to run out, he remains completely blind to what is right in front of him.
Will he finally look at her before the silence becomes permanent?
