How long would Iva stay behind the glacial front that she had put forth? And could she accept someone new after a heart-wrenching past love that nearly destroyed her? ━━━━━━━━━━ 05.10.20: Completed | ✓

Julius Santo was a name that had every human's skin crawling. Most people know of him due to the lethal Mafia he leads, his silver eyes that have watched countless souls fade away, or the sinister scar that crosses his brow.
