In the shadowed streets of Sicily, two rival mafia heirs are bound by blood, betrayal, and a passion they never expected. Isabella Moretti is determined to become the first female Don in a world ruled by men-no matter the cost. Alessandro DeLuca, next in line to a crumbling empire, is colder than stone and twice as dangerous. When an uneasy truce brings them face to face, ambition and desire ignite a war neither can afford to lose. In this world, love is a weapon-and every chain must be broken.

"Look at me," he whispered, but I was too frightened to turn around. When I felt his hand on my shoulder, I flinched. "Please just look at me, Salma," he says, gently turning me to face him. I look at him. His eyes are red from lack of sleep, and his once curly hair now resembles a bird's nest. "I'm the guy you warn your kids about while trying not to cry," he says, and I furrow my brows in confusion. "What are you talking about, Caleb?" I ask, and he shakes his head. "I'm the man every other man despises because he must demonstrate daily that he's not me. I wish I could apologize for that, but I can't; it's who I am, and I've made that clear to you," he declares. Tears well up in my eyes, but I refuse to let them fall, so I clench my jaw instead. 'That's just an excuse because you're scared, I'm looking at you Caleb and I can see the fear, it's okay to be scared but what's not okay is trying to act like some sort of sick villain who turned hero just to make me fall in love with you' I say while breathing heavily and he looks away from me. I take a step closer to him but he towers over me. ' You didn't deceive me or trick me, I knew who you were the moment I saw you' I say shoving him and he grabs both my wrist. 'And who am I Salma? you seem to know everything so please tell me.' he says in a deadly whisper which sends chills down my spine and I stay quiet looking up at him. 'I'll tell you then, I'm the guy who saw an insecure, broken girl who wanted an escape. A girl who couldn't get over the death of her sister and sabotaged her entire life because of that. A girl who wants pity from everyone, A girl who wants a free pass, A girl who-' he doesn't get to finish his sentence because I slap him hard across the face with tears falling down my face. I take a step back looking at him and he turns to look at me with a shocked expression. 'You forgot to say I'm the girl you fell in love with' I say to him before walking away.

B12. That was what HYDRA had called her ever since she had been snatched from her parent's grasps at the young age of 4. She had been experimented on, tortured and pushed to her limits for so long that she was beginning to forgotten her old life. One where she had been normal, a life without fear, without misery, without the monster living inside her. But her whole world changed when the God of Mischief discovered her in her white-tiled cell. Upon accidently being found by Loki and the Avengers, B12, also known as Emily, finally has another shot at living a normal life. A mostly normal life. Her powers make it difficult for anything to be normal. As well as having Loki Laufeyson as a friend. Or possibly more than a friend. -.-.-.- Nobody has ever wanted to help me before." I whispered. "They had always hurt me or been afraid of me. I've never had anyone how wanted to... I don't know, be friends with me." "I know how that feels." Loki said quietly. "I've never had any friends. Everyone always wanted to be friends with my brother instead of me. He got all the attention, while I was forgotten about. Sometimes, I would come across that one person who became a friend, but then they would meet my brother and leave me to be friends with him instead" He fell silent, jaw clenched, and I couldn't help place a comforting hand on his wrist. "I promise I won't leave you." I smiled softly. -.-.-.- I do not own any of the Marvel characters in this book except for Emily.

Nailea hat ihr Leben weitestgehend im Griff. Sie hat einen gut bezahlten Job, eine schöne Wohnung und Zwei Freundinnen, die mit ihr durch die Hölle gehen würden. Wie jeder Mensch, hat aber auch sie ihr Päckchen zu tragen und dass der Inhalt alleine kaum zu bewältigen ist, wird ihr erst klar, als es schon fast zu spät ist. Da ist es keine Überraschung, dass sie nichts von Lejf wissen will, als er übellaunig und vor allem unerlaubt ihre Welt betritt. Dass das garnicht seine Absicht war, spielt dabei längst keine Rolle. Genau genommen liegt ihm selbst nichts ferner, als in den Gefühlssturm zu geraten, den die Liebe unweigerlich auslöst, wenn er sich ernsthaft auf Nailea einlassen würde. Doch manchmal findet zusammen, was sich nicht gesucht hat und nicht gefunden werden wollte. Voraussichtlich wird jeden Montag um 21:00 Uhr ein neues Kapitel erscheinen. 🥇Newcomer (29.09.2022)
