[𝐔𝐍𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐃] A mafia leader was born to fight, to protect. Trapped in a horrifying place called mind. Drowning deeply in thoughts and wonders, never leaving his path, setting aside questions left unanswered. • They tend to say she knows everything, she's capable of anything, yet that wasn't enough to fill in his inquisitiveness. • Will she be the one who gives him the answers? Will both of their worlds collide, to become one. Or will it crash, causing more damage, betrayal. • Trust was never a thing he gave out, yet somehow she guided him to give in all he had. Would he step back? Would he kill a person he once trusted? • Power was held from both sides, which one will win? Which one will stand still until the end? • A journey that no one dared to step in. A journey that causes nothing but death. He became the first one to take the risk. The first to stand in front of the tigress, the one that's been living inside of her for years, ready to attack, to tear apart its prey. • Is he the one? Is he the one and only survivor? • Find out yourself. ---------------------------- •RANKINGS: 5# in enemies [October 3rd 21] 1# in mafia book [October 7th 21] 1# in alessandro [April 5th 22] 4# in enemies [April 25th 22] 5# in romannce [May 25th 22] 5# in russians [May 25th 22] 6# in missing [May 26th 22] 3# in romannce [May 30th 22] 4# in russians [May 30th 22] 2# in romannce [July 18th 22] 1# in Alessandro [July 22nd 22] 1# in strongfemalelead [August 12th 22] 1# in romannce [September 30th 22] 1# in romannce [October 1st 22] 4# in assassin [October 11th 22]

I can't keep the smile off my face as I take my seat on the plane. I slide my bag under the seat and lean back. I close my eyes and let a blissful smile grace my face. He said I wouldn't be able to run. As if. I'm vaguely aware of someone taking the seat next to mine, but I pay no attention to said person. "So where we headed?" I choke on my own spit as my eyes fly open and whirl around to face the owner of the familiar voice. His eyes are hidden behind those damn sunglasses and a rather smug smile graces his face. I continue choking and he does nothing other than flip through a magazine. That smug smile never leaving his face. "You still haven't answered the question." "To hell." I finally manage to choke out. "Awesome," He flips a page in the magazine, "It's about time I returned home. You know, bodies to burn, lost souls to torture, I've missed it. It'll be fun." *** Nicolette Moore.
