"I stood at the edge of my heart and watched him choose her. In the end, I was not the one he needed. I was simply the one he settled for." - Noelle ~~~~~~~ I thought I was the one he loved.

But when he saw that ring on her finger, the fragile world I had tried to escape began to shatter. His obsession to find me and bring me back ignited a dangerous game of cat and mouse.

"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.

Luca DeLuca was never meant to be a king. Born into one of the most powerful mafia families, he was raised in the shadows of blood and violence-protected, sheltered, and kept far from the world his father ruled with an iron fist. But when Don Salvatore DeLuca is assassinated, everything changes. The empire his father built is now crumbling, threatened by enemies within and outside the family. Forced into a throne he never wanted, Luca must learn to navigate a world of betrayal, power, and brutal survival. He isn't a killer. Not yet. But in the mafia, power is earned in blood-and to lead, he must be willing to lose everything, including the last pieces of his soul. But Luca's battle isn't just against the underworld's deadliest players. It's against himself. As he struggles with the darkness seeping into his veins, a forbidden love threatens to shatter everything. Torn between the woman who makes him feel human and the ruthless empire that demands his loyalty, Luca must decide: Is he willing to sacrifice love for power? Or will love be his greatest weakness? In a world where trust is a death sentence and mercy is a myth, Luca DeLuca must either rise as a legend or die as a footnote.

[Man] "You're being unreasonable, Alessia. I'm his father, and I have a right to be in my son's life." [Alessia] "I know that, Marco, but I can't let you raise him in the same world you're in. The guns, the violence... I won't let our son become another one of your 'soldiers'." [Marco] "My business is none of your concern. I'm a good father, and I provide for him. That's all that matters." [Alesia] "Providing isn't just about money, Marco. It's about values, morals... a future. I want our son to have a chance at a normal life, not one spent looking over his shoulder, waiting for the other shoe to drop." [Marco] "You're just trying to keep me from my son. I won't let that happen, Alessia. I'll do whatever it takes to be in his life." [Alessia] "I'm trying to protect him from you, Marco. From the life you lead. Please, don't make me fight you on this." The woman had left him on the alter, broke his resolve and fled. His heart turned cold and dark, this was just the new norm. What happens when he finds out she is back and has a son she's been hiding the past six years. The mafia comes claiming his son and his ex lover

"I know you want me." Damien said in a deep hoarse voice. I turned to look at him. "I can never want a ruthless man like you." "Your eyes are telling a different story Alison." Damien said, taking a step forward. I took a step backward but Damien had stopped me, his hands traveled across my dress. My breathe hitched in my throat as his hands paused. "Your body is saying a different story." Damien leaned closer. "You can't resist me Alison." "I-" my voice cracked. At that moment I realized he was right. I wanted Damien Santos. Right now.

I'll never hurt you, I'll never lay my hands, or touch you without your permission, until my money is refunded" Exactly the words of Boss Dante, and he's never letting go.

The conventional love story would have been convenient but not for us. One of us has to hurt the other doesn't. One has to make a radical shift and the other doesn't. At least not in the way I expect it to be. It takes thirty days to make you fall in love but it will be less for us. What's more, you will fall deeper than me. So instead of trying to conform to the rules, let us use those thirty days to establish our rules and hide the secrets of our past and present from the hawk eyes watching us. Let us live while we have it in us. *** "Its a dark world. But you bring light to it." I whisper while letting my hands that have dried blood on them, touch her face. She grimaces, almost shrinking back but I will not let that happen. I bring one of my hands around her waist pulling her form closer to me. She can't escape me, escape this. Especially not when she has already seen how gruesome it is. "Kai," her voice trembles a little when she says my name but I do not bring myself to care, maybe because my mind is all round the way her name sounds in her lips. Fascination ricochets all through my veins reminding me just how much my name from her lips sounds like sweet nectar to a bee.
