Dominic Valentine (pronounced Valen-teen) Giossi was the head of a very powerful Italian crime syndicate based in Little Italy...New York. At 30 years old he'd gained the respect of the family heads as well as the Russians and Greeks. He was fair but ruthless in his business dealings; he demanded loyalty from those that worked for him. It didn't matter if you were house staff all the way up to his second; you didn't go against the famiglia. His father passed away when he was 20 and all the biological family he had left was his mother, Valentina Giossi. She was a good, caring mother and she understood the business enough not to interfere but she also wanted Dominic to settle down with a good girl. This is the story of when fates collide and do you fight it or ride it out to see where it takes you? And would she be the 'more' that he was so desperately looking for?

Him: Successful, rich, intelligent, harsh, fuckboy-that's what the media says about him. But away from cameras, he's a twisted, cruel bastard; a nightmare. A man oozing power and danger; a lethal combination. He doesn't kneel before anyone, in fact, you kneel before him. Her: A sweet yet hot-headed and ill-tempered lady, prideful but humble. She was intelligent indeed, with big dreams and visions set. But as the daughter of a corrupt politician, her fate was sealed without choice. She was the mafia's unwanted bride, but also the only person he would ever kneel for. ~ Started: 18 jan #1 in arab #2 in mafiaboss #2 in mobster

Even if we have done this multiple times before, I still felt shy about the whole process, which is why I was so glad he always took the lead. "Shhh...none of that Principessa..." he paused, looking down at me with some admiration as if I was the most, prettiest flower in the whole flower field, "you are beautiful beyond words." If blush was noticeable on dark skin, it would definitely be spotted on mine from a mile away. He knew exactly what words to say to spark the fibers within my heart. "Yes, you are so pretty and you must always remember that my love," and with that he smiled a kiddish smile as if he had gotten the toy he wanted from the toy store, before laying kisses up and down my skin. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Armani Woods is an aspiring artist that has always wanted to see the world.
