This was a sweet read, I found all of milkhaki background with his. Rininal activities to be completely boring but the way he is other than the sexual stuff with Bianca was very sweet

Wicked, wicked man. The silent types are always the most dangerous.
She's mute, can't talk and he's a scarred enforcer for the mafia who's obsessed with her and is a single dad. A big softy on the inside; only for his daughter and his wife Bianca.

Tropes: 
  •  Mafia
  •  Age gap f21- m21

"Now, let's clear up a few things," Mikhail says. "You touch my wife again, in any way, I cut off your hand. I hear you speak bad about her, I cut out your tongue. You dare to even think about hitting her ever again, I cut off your head. Am I clear.”

Such an enigma, this husband of mine.

Arranged marriage; this trope is one of the central narration of the story. The male main character Mikhail has been attracted to the female main character Bianca long before their formal engagement. Privately attending her ballerina performances; without ever missing one. 
His feelings are deep-rooted, making their arranged marriage a complex emotional journey rather than a simple contractual arrangement. His knows that his personality and overall physique will be something that Bianca will never be attracted to. But as they navigate their relationship,  Mikhai’s realizes that he was very wrong. But he still has a hard time opening and accepting it. With both POV’s, we see their mutual feelings, attractions, care, possessiveness and love for one another. Through, I wished there was more of a slow burn. The feelings were there pretty fast; as if I was reading an instalove story. But, this is a short story, which makes sense…
