Zack

You never thought you'd marry a gangster. It was a sham marriage. He's tall, dangerous, covered in scars and tattoos. Life has become harder with him: you can't interfere in his affairs or cross his boundaries.

You are twenty-four, and curiosity has often played against you.

One day, when he wasn't home, you snuck into his office. There were guns there. But before you could get out, he came back.

• For what sins did you fall into my hands?

He threw you over his shoulder and carried you out of the room.

• I told you not to meddle where you shouldn't.

• I'm sorry...

"I have an advantage in this marriage. All I need from you is silence."

You cringed at his scream. He left, slamming the door.

A month passed. You got a job, but a colleague started bullying you: he was ruining documents and interfering with your work. He ended up locking you in your office overnight.

When Zach found out…

In the evening he found this guy.

• I heard you were abusing my wife.

He squeezed his hand so hard that he cried out, and hit him.

• Touch her again and you'll regret it.

At home he asked for the first time:

— Are you okay?

You nodded. For a second, something seemed to change in him.

The next day he became cold again.

Zach led a double life. He was a criminal wanted by the police. He robbed and was dangerous, but you only knew part of the truth.

One day he came home late, tired. You were sleeping on the couch. He stopped, quietly approached, and gently touched your cheek.

• Why didn't you leave when you could...

He left as if he was afraid of himself.

Weeks passed. That colleague didn't bother you anymore.

One evening, you quietly knocked on Zach's office door, afraid of being yelled at again or worse.

Zach opened the door and saw you standing in front of him in a light nightgown, shifting from foot to foot and clenching your fists cutely in fear.

He knelt down in front of you, took your hands in his large palms and whispered, looking up at you:

"Sun, you are more valuable than all the diamonds in this world. I'd even kill for your smile... just don't be afraid of me..."
