"And where exactly are you headed to? Surely not to pick a fight with whoever hit your brother... right?" I felt my face heat up from the accurate accusation and shook my head slowly. "N-No-" "Your first words to me are lies?" He clicked his tongue in an authoritative matter, causing my legs to become jelly within his dominance as he continued, "That's a real shame... Sammie? Is that your name?" I nodded slowly as I looked up at him and he took a step forward, shrugging his shirt over his head whilst I took a step back. My back hit the back of the tree and I breathed heavily as he got close to my face, "Now... why would I want a liar living in my house?" ------------- When Alfonzo Castillo ranks as one of the vilest kingpins in the southwest American cartel, he makes sure his kids, Stefan and Samantha, are well out of his rival's sights this time.

Vicenzo Ferrari Hernandez is a devilishly handsome mafia King. Despite being cold hearted and beyond cruel, he has fallen in love with the woman of his dreams. But can he hold on to her? Or will he lose her because the threats he faces all come with heavy prices, sometimes even death. He has everything he's ever wanted but that could all be taken away in an instance. ------------------------ I checked the scope of my gun, looking through the lens. I clicked a button and a red laser shot out, pointing ahead with sharp precision. Deadly. This mission would be deadly. Raf and I went on many missions so we weren't even bothered. What bothered us was the snow, the cold and the ice. I pulled the machine gun around me, the strap being flush against my chest. In my belt sat a couple of smoke grenades, flares and a chain. I looked across at Raf who was inspecting his guns, checking which ones he would use first. His belt held several gleaming knives, some longer, some shorter. I only had the one knife. I only needed the one anyway. Raf's tan skin was hidden underneath his black long sleeved top, on-top of which was a bullet proof vest. He pulled the straps tighter, so that the vest outlined his muscled physique. ------------------------ BE AWARE: Trigger warnings: MATURE CONTENT 18+ (SMUT) SWEARING VIOLENCE/GUN VIOLENCE SELF HARM/SUICIDE (REFERENCES) EXPLICIT LANGUAGE REFERENCES TO RAPE SMOKING/ALCOHOL/DRUGS BLOOD/DEATH/GORE ©️ All rights reserved ™️ The Walnut Tree BOOK THREE OF THE MAFIA SERIES

Raised in the Mafia, I have known no other life other than cold calculated violence and discipline. A life where brutality is praised and weakness is ridiculed, I became the best of my parents and the worst the world has ever seen. Young and still gaining control of my mafia, love is never an option for me, that is until one night at a Mafia ball where I spy a woman who has me to my knees. I want more, more, more. She's reckless and cunningly beautiful. Too good for me and yet the only one for me. We fight for survival and for each other because neither one of us will let go. ------------------------- I sat in the back, legs apart and looked at her with my head tilted. She licked her lips and squeezed though the front seats all the while looking at me. I pulled her towards me and she chuckled as she sat on my lap. Her legs were either side of me and her breathing was ragged. I ran my hand down her cheek and pulled her into me. I kissed her lips and soon our tongues whirled around. Hungry and rough. She held her head back and I began to plant rough kisses onto her beautiful neck. "Am I a bad influence?" She breathed. Her hands were on the back of my neck. I stopped kissing her and looked up at her. "Everyone needs a little bad in their lives." I whispered back making her smile. My hands found her waist and I noticed her short dress had ridden up exposing her thighs. She wore it to tease me and I loved it. Fuck, I loved her body. She breathed into my neck and I pulled off her dress in one slick motion. My hands were all over her back, feeling her, touching her. Her soft skin drove me crazy. ------------------------- BE AWARE: Trigger warnings: MATURE CONTENT 18+ (SMUT) SWEARING VIOLENCE/GUN VIOLENCE SELF HARM/SUICIDE (REFERENCES) EXPLICIT LANGUAGE REFERENCES TO RAPE SMOKING/ALCOHOL/DRUGS BLOOD/DEATH/GORE ©️ All rights reserved ™️ The Walnut Tree BOOK TWO OF THE MAFIA SERIES

Will two monsters find solace in each other's arms or will they kill each other? ---------------------------- "I don't recall signing up for strip poker." She replied. Her full lips frowned softly but her eyes were filled with amusement. She knew she couldn't beat me, not at this game. "Are you quitting? Are you a quitter?" I mocked getting under her skin. Her lips twitched before she pursed them tightly. The blues of her eyes deepened and she threw me a dangerous smirk. She shuffled and pulled off one of her sandals. Fuck. So we're doing this the long way. She raised it in the air, dangling it off her finger before tossing it aside. She raised a brow at me, she challenged me. I knew I got under her skin. Just as I had anticipated. -------------------------- BE AWARE: Trigger warnings: MATURE CONTENT 18+ (SMUT) SWEARING VIOLENCE/GUN VIOLENCE SELF HARM/SUICIDE (REFERENCES) EXPLICIT LANGUAGE REFERENCES TO RAPE SMOKING/ALCOHOL/DRUGS BLOOD/DEATH/GORE ©️ All rights reserved ™️ The Walnut Tree BOOK ONE OF THE MAFIA SERIES

"Was hast du in den Sommerferien vor, Em?", flüstere ich meiner Sitznachbarin zu. "Mal gucken, meine Eltern wollen vielleicht für zwei oder drei Wochen nach Kroatien fliegen. Ansonsten noch nicht wirklich viel." "Wie wäre es, wenn wir einen Roadtrip machen? Dann könnten wir durch Spanien oder Frankreich oder ein anderes Land fahren". Ich wollte schon immer mal nach Spanien oder nach Portugal. Meine Eltern fliegen nicht gerne, weshalb ich noch nie wirklich in anderen Ländern war. Allerdings wurde mein gesamter Enthusiasmus ausgelöscht, als Emma sich räuspert. "Fahrt ihr nicht wieder nach Reno?" Dieser Satz ist wie ein Schlag ins Gesicht. Natürlich fahren wir wieder nach Reno in den guten alten Staat Nevada. So wie jedes zweite Jahr. "Wie konntest du das vergessen, ich meine ihr verbringt eure Ferien doch immer mit den Winchesters." "Ich denke ich habe es einfach verdrängt. Meine Motivation meine Ferien mal wieder mit Nicolas zu verbringen ist sehr gering" meckere ich umher. "Ach komm vielleicht wird es gar nicht so schlimm ich meine er ist doch jetzt 20, oder?" "Aufmuntern bringt nichts Em. Außerdem hat Nico ein Gehirn von einer Erbse da hilft ihm sein Alter auch nicht viel." 1 in #enemies am 06.03.2022 1 in #enemiestolovers am 03.03.2022 2 in #humor am 04.03.2022 1 in #hate am 07.03.2022 3 in #Jugendliteratur 09.05.2022

Er ist einer der beliebtesten Schüler auf der Highschool. Doch außerhalb ist er gefährlich, und seine Fassade fängt an zu bröckeln nur weil ein zierliches Mädchen seinen Kopf verdreht.

"Na, hast du mich vermisst?", flüsterte er mir ins Ohr und ich zuckte leicht zusammen da seine Stimme tiefer und rauer war als erwartet. "Wieso sollte ich dich vermisst haben, ich kenne dich überhaupt nicht.", flüsterte ich leise ohne ihn anzusehen, da er immer noch neben meinem Ohr verweilte. "Überleg nochmal genau.", flüsterte er erneut aber verweilte dennoch an meinem Ohr. Ich spürte sein grinsen und wie er ausatmete. Ich wusste nicht was er meinte und überlegte nochmal genau woher ich ihn kennen sollte.In meinem Kopf drehten sich kurz die Rädchen. Ich hatte noch nie etwas mit einem Silas zu tun gehabt oder einen Silas gekannt... außer, natürlich. In meinem Hirn machte es klick und ich versteifte mich und atmete tief ein. Nur im Kindergarten kannte ich einen Silas, fast hätte ich meinen Hass auf ihn von damals vergessen. Er lachte rau an meinem Ohr und ich drehte mich langsam zu ihm. Wir waren nur wenige Zentimeter voneinander entfernt und als ich ihm in die Augen sah erkannte ich ihn wieder. Er hatte sich zwar ziemlich verändert aber ich erkannte ihn dennoch. "Natürlich hast du mich vermisst, wieso frage ich überhaupt, jeder vermisst meine Nähe." Ich schnaubte und schaute wieder weg. Ich würde niemals vergessen was er mir damals alles angetan hatte und auch niemals würde ich etwas anderes als Hass in seiner Nähe fühlen können. Er nahm eine meiner Haarsträhnen in seine Finger und spielte ein wenig damit. Don't like it, don't read it.

»Hör auf« keuchte er und rang mit sich mir nicht wieder auf die Lippen zu starren. »Womit?« fragte ich heiser. »Mich zu berühren, dass macht mich noch verrückt.« • • • Die 17 jährige Schülerin mit einem aggressiven Stiefvater der sie regelmäßig misshandelt, sah keinen anderen Ausweg mehr und ergriff deshalb Planlos die Flucht.
