After having her heart broken by the boy she'd been in love with her whole life, Brimmy Somell decides to take a little...vacation. Little does she know, it turns out to be much more permanent than she had originally thought. After meeting tall, sexy, and mysterious Marcello Pietro, Brimmy finds herself having to make a life-changing decision and putting herself in a dangerous position she'd never imagined to be in. °•°●°•°●°•°●°•° "I love you." He says with no hesitation. It takes a moment for my hazy mind to catch up. I'm still in a daze, mesmerized by his perfections, and the deep dimple set in his cheek. I blink, "What?" "Don't make me say it again." He says, sounding frustrated, but I catch the hint of embarassment in his voice as he runs his hand through his hair and takes a step back. I grab a hold of the neckline to his shirt and yank him back within close proximity of me. "What if I want you to say it again?" I ask, studying his eyes. "Isn't it enough that I said it once?" He scowls, trying to pull back, but I restrain him from doing so. "Nope. Just say it one more time and I'll be satisfied." I state bravely, feeling a boost of confidence I didn't have earlier. He glances down, then looks back up into my eyes, allowing me to spot the vulnerability and uncertainty he feels. "I love you." He says, putting more strength in his voice than he looks to have. I grin, pulling him in for a kiss, but right before I do, I say the one phrase that will seal my fate, "I love you too, big, bad mafia boss." ••••• The story may be rough but the comment section makes up for it. ••••• Word count: 51,173 ••••• Written and published 2018-2019

"Her terrible timing resulted in the perfect image: Fred standing there wet. His hair was soaking, and the small drops of water rolled down his cheek and onto his stomach. Amelia's eyes followed the droplet and set her eyes on his lean abs. Those four years off quidditch really paid off. A red Gryffindor towel hung dangerously loose from his v-line. The dull light did him no justice, but just enough sun crept into the room to put his perfect body on show. He looked godly." + It's Amelia Whisp's fifth year at Hogwarts where she finds herself spending more time with her close childhood friend, Fred Weasley. One thing leads to another and Amelia finds herself getting close to Fred in more ways than one. + The only thing I've changed in the books is that you go to Hogwarts when you are twelve.

𝘏𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭 𝘙𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘬 Die Rickson J. High - unterstützt von den Walker Companies - eine der bekanntesten Eliteschulen Englands, an der nur überdurchschnittlich gute Schuler teilhaben dürfen - oder Schüler, die von ihrem Reichtum der Familie profitieren und sich aus Stolz einen Platz für Geld sichern konnten. Es ist kein Wunder, dass auch die Tochter der Walkers, Violet, ein Teil dieser Schule ist. Sie tut sich nur schwer, sich mit dem Fakt abzufinden, dass sie eine der beliebtesten Schülerinnen der Rickson J. ist, nur weil ihre Familie stinkreich ist. Aber das sind hier alle. Als sie jedoch ein unbekanntes Gesicht auf den Fluren der Schule bemerkt, das definitiv nicht in die Gesellschaftsklasse von Schülern der Rickson J. passt, wird sie überaus neugierig. Man ist es nicht gewohnt, hier auf arme Leute zu treffen. So würde ein typischer Rickson J. Schüler eben jemanden beschreiben, der mit runtergekommenen Schuhen und Rucksack zum Unterricht erscheint. Aus diesem Grund wird der neue Schüler direkt in die unterste Schublade gesteckt und sich lächerlich über ihn gemacht. Jedoch verspürt Violet das Bedürfnis, ihn genauer kennenzulernen und sich nicht von den Vorurteilen leiten zu lassen. Schon bald schlägt in seiner Gegenwart ihr Herz schneller als es sollte. Jedoch findet sie keinen Weg zu dem kaltherzigen, dennoch mysteriösen Neuling durchzudringen.
