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

"What the hell!?" I look at my husband and supposedly best friend on his desk. "Baby, it's not what it looks like" He gets up and tries to pull his pants up. "Save it! This is why you have been distant with me, because you were seeing-her! I can't believe you!" He starts walking towards me "Please baby I just...I don't know it was a mistake I swear!" He looks me in the eye and tries to grab my hands, but I slap them away from me. "No! The only mistake made was trusting you!" I turn around and walk away "Be ready to sign the divorce papers Nick!" With that I sprint to the elevator with tears falling freely down my face. ❀✿❀ THANK YOU FOR 100K READS! 9/9/17 ILY ALL SO MUCH! 1mil reads !!

Nitya and Vikrant's marriage cracked under the weight of unspoken expectations and clashing priorities. Nitya, a devoted doctor with a heart for community service, and Vikrant, a steady IT professional, entered their arranged marriage with quiet hope and mutual respect. They dreamed of building a life together-but life had other plans. As Nitya took up irregular shifts in rural clinics, Vikrant longed for routine weekends and family time.

But three years later, when her dream NGO offered her a role, Vikrant resisted-afraid it would take away the fragile balance of their home life.
