'I'm right here, okay?' *** When Celestine Vora enrols at the elite Marion University to study medicine, the last person she expected to come face to face with was Adrian Schulz. Always condescending, never conceding. As her brother's best friend, he always caught glances of her in the background, the silent, quiet shadow of an adopted girl who never quite matched her brother's innate talent. One who always seemed to be a hindrance, his biggest competitor for valedictorian in high school. He was looking forward to a fresh start. That is, until she shows up in front of his apartment in the middle of the night, and shakily utters the words, 'He's missing.' ~ [This is a work of fiction. All events and characters are fake.]

"You're atheist," I remind him. "You don't believe in god." "I believe in you," He murmurs, letting the cigarette hang from his lips. "I believe in whatever you believe." He says, letting the confession roll off his tongue as if it were that simple. As if god, the devil, heaven, hell-as if none of it really had meaning to him.

He argues, taking the cigarette by his middle and pointer finger before blowing the smoke out. "I'II dip my hands in holy water if it means I could touch you." "You'd probably burn." 𓆩♡𓆪 𝐇𝐄𝐍𝐑𝐘 𝐕𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐎, the reaper. He's a prick. An asshole. A pretentious son of a bitch. He's not perfect. He's not even decent. But he's hers.

One regretful mistake that shouldn't have happened leads to a whirlwind of chaos. Five years ago, mafia princess, Rose Romano fled from her father's clutches. On the grand night of her return, she's controlled by her harrowing memories and stumbles into the room of a man she should've never looked twice at. Luca Armani. The cruel, cold, conceited monster and King to one of the world's strongest mafias. Also, her father's ultimate rival. In a moment of weakness, she's entangled in his silk sheets and his hands are buried deep in her hair. Mistakenly, lasciviously, regretfully. Both their perceptive minds thought there were no strings attached, yet she's continuously forced around the scrutiny of his intimidating, lustful, grey eyes when someone threatens to expose their little secret to her father. But, that's not the only secret she has. ✽ ✽ ✽ @peachygraham: ITS HARD TO READ OTHER STORIES AFTER I READ YOURS. I keep comparing them to your writing style and your characters.
