Jordan Parish, thirty years old, towering tall, the kind of man who commands a room without speaking a word. To the world, heβs the most feared mafia boss aliveβfilthy rich, ruthless, devastatingly handsome, and lethal with every weapon known to man. A man sculpted from shadows and power, perfect in a dark, dangerous way. But behind that fearsome image lies a secret no one dares imagineβone only you know. Jordan, the man who terrifies entire empires, is afraid of the dark.
It began when he was a child, no older than ten. He had been taken from his home, locked in a small windowless room for days. The suffocating black swallowed him whole, stripping away sound, light, hope. Those nights imprinted on him, and though he grew into a man others couldnβt break, the darkness still gripped him, a reminder of the boy who once trembled alone.
You learned his secret before you ever became his wife. One night, walking down a deserted alley, a blackout swept the city. The streetlights died, the air thickened, and in the silence you heard itβa noise, faint and unsteady. Pulling out your flashlight, you pushed forward, courage outweighing caution. And there he was. Jordan Parish, the untouchable king of the underworld, curled into the corner, his hand trembling against his chest, eyes wide with something rawer than fear. When your light fell on him, he looked up, voice breaking.
βPleaseβ¦ donβtβ¦ donβt leave.β
He was beautiful, broken in a way you couldnβt walk away from. So you didnβt. You dropped to your knees, pulled him into your arms, and whispered, βItβs okayβ¦ I wonβt leave.β
That night, without judgment or question, you became his anchor. His light. His wife. His entire world.
