"𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩, 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚." Olivia groaned and crossed her arms, standing her ground. "Don't tell me what to do. You're not my dad." Amusement filled Santino's gaze as he stood up, abandoning the papers he desperately needed to read and sign. Yet, all that was forgotten as her bewitching lips protruded. "I might not be your dad but," a midnight lock of hair was pinned behind her ear, "I can be your papi." Shuddering, her body drew closer to him, betraying her mind. "You're sick." Taking the nape of her neck, Santino leaned down, his lips brushing against her ear. "Yet you still dream about my touch, don't you, principessa?" ❦ When Santino Adriano discovers that the Bratva has betrayed their neutrality by secretly working with his family's enemies, he's determined to send a brutal message that cannot be ignored. His target? The Bratva kingpin's sister, Olivia Morozov-a sheltered girl who knows little to nothing about the dark underworld her family controls, having been shielded from the darker truths of her family's empire her entire life. Fresh out of boarding school and blissfully oblivious to the power struggle boiling beneath her feet, Olivia is suddenly whisked away from everything she's ever known and thrust into a world where loyalty is weaponised and power is the ultimate prize. As secrets and long-buried lies unravel around her, she realises she's caught in a game where the unrelenting fight for power holds more value than human lives-including her own. Santino is cold, calculating, and relentless - everything Olivia should fear. Yet, she is intrigued by by his deadly nature. The line between fear and attraction is thin, and like a moth to a flame, she seeks him out, unafraid of the burn it may cause. She's never known anyone like him-an older, dangerous man who makes her question everything she thought she knew about desire. Olivia just didn't expect her captor to be so handsome.

"You want to act reckless? Fine. But don't think for a second you're not being watched. This city is full of men who'd love to carve a message into you just to make a point." "And what message would you carve?" I whispered. He reached out. Brushed the back of his knuckles down my jaw, rough and slow. "Mine." It wasn't sweet. It wasn't romantic. It was a brand. And then he dropped his hand. "You have ten minutes to get out of here before I make a fucking scene." ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚ Massimo Bianchi is ruthless, the kind of man who leaves blood in his wake and never looks back. At 29, he's the trusted enforcer for one of the most feared mafia bosses in America - my father, Lorenzo DeLuca, the ghost I never knew but can never escape. I, Francesca DeLuca, have spent my life in the shadows of wealth, too blind to see the truth behind my family's fortune. But when I confront the mysterious man who's been following me, I'm thrown into a world of blood and betrayal, where loyalty is bought and sold like a commodity. Massimo is everything I should fear - cold, dangerous, and bound by an oath to my father. But there's something in the way he looks at me, a dark hunger he refuses to acknowledge. I should hate him, push him away, but the deeper I fall into my family's twisted legacy, the harder it is to resist the pull. But loving a man like Massimo is a risk, and in our world, mistakes are paid for in blood. So the question is - will I be his downfall, or will he be mine?

Leah Gilbert, the sister of Elena Gilbert, is pulled into New Orleans after becoming entangled with the one and only Elijah Mikaelson, revealing a secret that she promised not to tell him, but how will he react to the news given to him? With anger or with compassion towards Leah, will they face with problem together as friends or as a family that involves ALWAYS and FOREVER (This is an AU that doesn't follow the original pilot line.) All rights go to Julie Plec's characters I only own my oc's, plot and dialogue.

What if John Dutton had another son that he didn't know about until he came knocking on his door I don't own characters I only own Matias Dutton. I've only seen stories where he has a daughter. I wanted to switch it up to where he has another son and also this is my first time writing a story like this so I hope y'all like it.😅 And I am going to be writing it in my own way it's not really going with the storyline of Yellowstone

For as long as she can remember, Evelyn-Rae Dutton has lived and breathed the Yellowstone. She stayed when others left. She worked when others walked away. And she devoted her life to protecting the ranch that has been in her family for generations. Beside her stands Rip Wheeler-a man who arrived at the Yellowstone with nothing and built his life through loyalty, hard work, and sacrifice. Together, they have spent years fighting for the ranch, for John Dutton, and for the family they call home. But loyalty comes with a price. As old wounds resurface and new enemies threaten the Yellowstone from every direction, Rae finds herself caught between the people she loves most. Her resentment toward Beth still lingers beneath the surface. Kayce's return forces her to confront a decade of abandonment. And John Dutton's relentless determination to save the ranch may cost him the very people who have never left his side. When devotion demands sacrifice, how much is too much to give? Set against the rugged backdrop of Montana, The Ones Who Never Left is a story of family, loyalty, heartbreak, and the unbreakable bond between two people willing to lose everything for the place-and each other-they love.
