"You must be really stupid," I said with giggle. "You're way in over your head if you think I'm going to call you my husband. Your ego is starting to get a little bit too big." He took a step closer, completely overshadowing me. "And you must have forgotten who the fuck I am, my love. You better loose that attitude, because here in my mafia..." He grinned. "You are nothing before me, nobody is. I hope you understand that." I smirked as I reached for he's shoulders, rubbing then in small circles "It's seems to me that you are losing your memory, Mr Serraino. I hope you remember who made you so powerful. Do I need to remind you? It was me. I hope I made that clear." He gave a deep chuckle. "Oh really, Mrs Serraino? Ok fine, but let me also remind you of something..." He gave me a wide smile. "You need me more than I need you." I raised a brow. "Yeah, but here's the thing..." I slowly pushed him onto the bed. "I can just simply take all your power away from you." He scoffed. ''The only way that will happen is if you die." I slowly reached down to my nightstand, quickly glancing back to him only to see him watching my every move. "I've lost everything. My father, my mother and my mafia which is now in the hands of the man I'm forced to share a life with." I opened the drawer and pulled out my gun, aiming it to my head. "If killing myself means that my mafia will be out of your clutches, than so be it. I've got nothing to lose." ••• 18+

That quiet meant peace. But the past has a cruel way of catching up, and sometimes the real enemy is the one you never saw coming. Whispers grow louder. Trust fractures. A familiar face returns with a hidden agenda, and the people Olive once relied on begin to shift in the shadows. Loyalties bend, love is weaponized, and the line between truth and manipulation thins with every secret unearthed. Xavier is still the center of her storm- magnetic, dangerous, impossible to walk away from. But what they had is no longer what they know. And when the foundations crack, Olive is forced to ask herself one question: Who is he really protecting? As the web tightens and a new power rises from the quiet, Olive must choose between who she was and who she's becoming. Between love and survival. Between silence... and the war waiting to erupt beneath it. Because this time, it's not just about staying alive. It's about what you're willing to risk when everything you believed was a lie.

"You want a job here, Victoria?" He asks quietly, and I swallow beneath his grip. It was hard for me to breathe- much less speak. Fear spills throughout my body at the sudden realization that Nico could completely crush my windpipes if he wanted to. One squeeze and my life will be over.

Head tilted, he looks at me closely. "You just signed your life away to me. I hope it was worth it." •••

[Highest rank as of May 2018: #132 in Teen Fiction] [the author @livingonchocolate is now @penchantress_ ] Liz Townsend and Tyler Callahan were best friends since kindergarten. Until suddenly they were not. Until Tyler got recruited by a modeling agency right after high school and left Liz for the glitz and glamour of LA. Until he climbed even higher and became the hottest new Hollywood star. Until he broke his promise of keeping in touch with his (ex) best friend. Now Liz is left in their hometown, studying in college and pining after the long given up dream of becoming an actor. Until her new best friend convinces her to audition for a film being shot in their town. Until she actually gets the part of the female lead. Until she learns that her male co star will be none other than Tyler Callahan: former best friend and breaker of promises. This is definitely not going to end well.
