She was his escape, his hope, his lifeline and he was her safety net, her dream in all of her nightmares, the light at the end of her dark tunnel. But when he left her on that doorstep as he left their foster home for good leaving his heart there with her, his dark past became her immediate present and their lives took very different routes to lead back to each other. Zenone: He wasn't born into this life, he was born into a broken home so some may say he was lucky when he found Omerta or should I say Omerta found him. Now at the age of 30, he is sitting at the table as the Underboss. He rebuilt his life with the family he wasn't born into but that didn't stop him from thinking about his best friend that he left behind. Phoenix: She was left out to dry in this cold world and did the other thing she knew how, she saved herself. So, she did what she needed to survive but being handed down a strip club was not on her agenda of things to do. However, she took it in her stride and build it from the ground up and now she only serves the most elite and most dangerous men in the city. Mobsters. The Mafia. Biker gangs. Drug lords. Cartels.

[Edited] "You had to be extremely low on cash to wank into a cup for it," Dani sneered, feeling like a vindictive bully in a playground. But Carlo deserved it. She felt the first sharp stab of fear that went through her heart when Carlo looked at her with thunder in his eyes. "What are you going to do now? Kill me?" she continued. Fingering the 9mm in her back pocket, she remembered that she'd never even shot the damn thing, despite her brothers' pleas to teach her. Carlo's shadow blanketed her. "Kill you?" His brow furrowed. "Do you really think that lowly of me, cara? I'm wounded." "Then what the hell do you want?" His face flashed with a look she barely recognised - pure arousal. Even when he reached out and pulled her to him, she could feel it. "I realised that the mother of my child is more of a spitfire than I thought." His lips brushed her earlobe. "Call me a pyromaniac." *cover by @bullethood*

[Edited Version ● Alternate Ending] "Colin? I feel so awful lying to you so I have to tell you what happened..today," Frankie blurted out, nervously cracking her knuckles as she stared at her boyfriend from one side of the living room. Colin's bright blue eyes danced. "What is it, sweetheart?" "I...I bumped into my ex-husband in the elevator today." "And?" Frankie exhaled. "And we had sex. In the elevator." There was an interminable silence before Colin smiled. "We'll work through this, honey. Don't worry." "Work through this?" she spluttered in disbelief. "How? How can we, when all I want is for him to do it again? And again, and again, and again, and..." She trailed off, sighing. It pained her to see Colin's hurt expression, but then again, it pained her to know that Konstantin had made her climax in that elevator more times than Colin had in their whole relationship... *cover by @hartlings*

Oaklyn Santidore goes to Acadia boarding school, a school full of the richest and powerful students in Eldham. Her father is the leader of the English mafia, her mother tends to travel a lot, mainly to avoid her father. All of her life, Oaklyn has suffered from loneliness. Until she met him. Now being 18, she's in her final year of school. Everything was going smoothly, her friendship with Lucas, her grades, and her relationships with teachers, until she had to start tutoring math to a certain student who goes by the name Caiden Ford Fulton. All through school, she did her best to avoid him. Caiden's father was the leader of the Italian mafia, soon he'd take over. She hated the way his shirt always became untucked and disheveled. She hated the way his paper airplanes would find their way to her desk. She hated the way he gets kicked out of every lesson. She hated how her body responds to his touch, and she doesn't hate him for it. Ever since Caiden first met Oaklyn when he was 14, he's been infuriated by her lack of interest in him, always wanting an excuse to talk to her. She never attends his basketball games. Never smiles at him like the other girls there did. Never gave him a second glance. Now that he's purposely failing math to spend some one-on-one time with her, he's determined to make her like him. After they start to get closer, they're both surprised at how different they thought each other would be. After getting to know eachother, they both can't deny their feelings, despite the world being against them. Together, they face it.

"You are mine!" He roars. "I will do whatever it takes to make you know that. Whether it means I lock you up in a prison and throw away the key." Footsteps come rushing into the dining room, and I turn to see multiple men--guards I suppose, flanking one another. Each of their hands rest on things within their jackets. Which i can only guess are guns. What else would they be? He waves them off and stalks towards me, standing behind my chair. I try to turn my head to look behind me, at him, but his hands move to the sides of my face, stopping me. "I can give you the world Mia. I am no fool. I know that love takes time, and I will give you as much as it takes. But you are mine."
