On his death bed my father had one wish, or two in my perspective. First that i try to live a peaceful life, one he couldn't ever dream of. Second to marry the son of his partner. As the first could only be achieved by the actualisation of the second. He wanted me to wash my hands clean of the mafia, he hadn't raised me to even pick a gun. He wanted a man who would protect me but would have me locked up behind him always. I hadn't even met my future husband but i walk down the aisle at the ripe age of twenty to be tied to a man i knew nothing of
Our Silent Vows by Plumavenetta
12 parts Ongoing Mature
She was mine long before she knew it. I'd been raised in shadows, in a world where power was survival and choice was an illusion. But then there was her. She slipped into my life, unexpected and defiant, eyes too bright for a town like this one, unafraid of what lay beneath the surface. She thought she could walk away, that she was strong enough to resist the pull. But every step she took only bound her tighter to me. She was delicate but stubborn, fierce enough to face what others ran from, even if she didn't fully see it yet. The only thing I've ever chosen. And I would break anything to keep her-everything, even her illusions of freedom. Because in a world that offered no choices, she became my one certainty. R.
