~MATURE CONTENT WARNING~ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ One plan. One mission. There was no room for mistakes, and the slightest error could only mean death. But she was ready. It was simple. Get in, (brutally) murder one man and get out, expeditiously. Lola Summers knew exactly what she had to do. It was a task she spent the better quarter of her life preparing for. It was her life's goal. And she would stop at nothing to achieve that goal... even if it involved taking a calulated risk in the heat of the moment. Initially...Lola knew that taking risks, even if it helped her goal, was self sabotage. Overlooking those risks would be disastrous, and being unprepared for anything was suicide. In the heat of that moment, Lola hadn't for once considered any outside intrusion. She hadn't fully prepared for being seen, and most importantly, she wasn't prepared for being caught. More specifically... being caught by a man who had hesitated to kill her on the spot for what she'd done. A very strange man who made her shiver at the slightest touch and could disarm her with one penetrative gaze. A very peculiar man who wasn't very interested in letting her go either.

It all started with one night. She was being amiable and agreed to go to the Heat with her best friend. Never in her wildest dreams did she think that she would run into him. Little did she know, he had changed. After being deemed the most ruthless mafia leader he took on a new name. Apollo, the Destroyer. On a mission to end a petty feud, he opens up a new bar. The Heat. The only thing on his mind was getting the job done. He never imagined that he would see her here out of all places. After that night he vowed to protect her with his life. She finally understood why he left so many years ago, but it left her curious. In attempts to rekindle their love, they go through unforeseen events that take a toll on them. Even through the smoke and bullets, they manage to hold on tight to each other. They create an unbreakable bond and become one. Thinking that their hardships are over, they move on with their lives and settle down. Little did they know, there was a storm headed their way.

They say "curiosity killed the cat". I say "naivety killed the flower".

Zophisa (zo-fee-suh) Johnson, a fearless 22-year-old who's been in the game her whole life. She was raised by the streets and determined to do anything possible to get to the top. Even if that meant moving to the other side of the world to protect her gang. - Luka Ricca, a dominating 26-year-old mafia leader who was just trying to help out an old friend of his father. Little does he know, he's going to get a lot more than he bargained for when he meets the leader of a local New York gang. What will happen when two natural born killers have to marry each other for the sake of their gangs?
