My brother's bestfriend is Mafia🔪💀 "Ethan stop" Hailey whispered in panic as her back hit the wall roughly "My parents are still in the dining hall-" Ethan caged her in, hand gripping her waist, pressing her hard in wall "You think I care?" "You're not scared but I am" she shivered when he nipped and sucked on her neck He mumbled between neck kisses "If you're with me you don't get to be scared" "This isn't the right time" she tried to push his chest His jaw clenched "Do that again and I won't be this gentle" Ethan's thumb grazed her bottom lip "I'm done pretending you're just my best friend's sister" "You're acting crazy" "Crazy?" He gave a hollow laugh "No angel I'm making love." She glared "This isn't love You're trying to own me" "Exactly" he whispered pressing his body to hers "That's how I love, by owning you, touching you, making sure you're only mine." "Ethan..." "Say it again" "Ethan" she moaned as he bit her He leaned closer "You belong to me Say it" "No" Ethan's his eyes darkened "Fine I'll make you" "We're in a house full of people...my family-" "And I'm your family too" he growled "Your secret one" "You're impossible" His lips traced her jaw "And you're mine Deny it again and I'll remind you in ways you won't forget" Hailey's fingers curled into his shirt "You'll get us caught" Ethan only smirked, brushing his lips across her cheek and licking "Then let everyone know you're mine" Her breath hitched "You're insane" He leaned closer, his nose brushing hers "For you? Yeah I can live with that" His hand slid to the back of her neck "Sometimes it feels like you want to own me more than you want to love me" Ethan's jaw clenched, he grabbed her chin gently but firmly "Baby loving you is owning you" "What if I break?" "Then I'll be the one to fix you Only me... No one else touches what's mine" Hailey inhaled shakily as his lips hovered just above hers. "If you kiss me now I won't be able to stop." "Who said I wanted you to?

"𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐲 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐈'𝐦 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐭." ~ Marriage was never for love-it was for legacy. A strategy. A performance. And for the Lombardis and the Morettis, it was the most calculated, showstopping alliance of the century. Roman Moretti, Don of the La Cosa Nostra, and Angeline Lombardi, only daughter of the French-Italian Mafia Capo, had been betrothed since her birth --matched to unite two empires under one crown. Hidden from the world, Angeline was raised to be the perfect wife. Groomed. Silenced. Controlled. She learned early that one misstep would strip her of everything-including her name. Everyone's first mistake? They underestimated her. Though no one had ever seen her, the world assumed the Lombardi Princess was a polished doll. Quiet. Disposable. Roman saw the marriage as a formality-another calculated step toward total dominance. He had no plans to love her. No plans to live with her. Just a wife on paper, tucked away from him elsewhere, summoned when needed for appearances. But everything changed the moment he saw her walking down the aisle. She was perfection. Untouchable. She would be his ruin, his weakness, his obsession, his motivation. His everything. But what if that had been her plan all along? Not everything buried stays dead. Not every identity is what it seems. In a world where saints become monsters and monsters are worshipped like gods, Angeline must decide what's worth saving: her bloodline, her love, or herself. ~ -HEA -18+ -Romance/mystery/thriller -No Cheating/OWD -DARK ROMANCE "OMYGOSH.

Heather Drake is a 22 year old who is hiding from her past and trying to start a new life in California. She is going to be starting with a new career as a teacher at a private school. She is beautiful & witty and doesn't stand for bullshit. Who wouldn't notice her?.. What happens though when she catches the eye of someone who doesn't want to let her go... Who is attached at first sight and wants nothing else but her. Xavier Sanford is a 25 year old billionaire CEO who is also a single father. He also is a very dangerous man if need be and takes what he wants. He doesn't believe in relationships since they all disappear in the end however all it took was one glance at a bombshell beauty and he knew... she was HIS. Preview: "You will be mine Miss Drake and I do not share." I state sternly. "Release my arm Mr. Sanford before I force you to." She states giving me a fake smile. I smirk at her. She takes her other hand and squeezes my wrist before twisting it in a painful position. I hiss in pain. "Don't underestimate me Mr. Sanford." She whispers in my ear before gently pushing me away from her. I shake my hand and look back at her. "This is the only time I will allow you to walk away from me Miss Drake." She turns and glares at me. "Mr. Sanford, I am no possession of yours. " She pushes the classroom door open and leaves me standing there.
