"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.

"Why weren't you together in the first place?" "Oh fuck's sake." he rolled his eyes, patience running thin "We're not together that often." After a rather turbulent past, Jinx and Ekko find their way to each other again. Joined at the hip, except- there's this weird tension in the room whenever they're close, which is a bit of an issue, considering they're roommates. Now, it's going to take a lot more restraint to not slip up, because she doesn't think she's good enough, and he seems determined to prove her wrong and save her. Attention, fame- it seems to chase them, more people get involved, feelings grow and hearts are bound to break as their almost possessive, damn near unhealthy dynamic, is tested. She can't be good for him, that much is clear, so why the hell can't he seem to keep his hands away from her? And why the hell, is there a tiny kid sitting on his living room couch? Now, they're more intertwined than ever. Everywhere he turns, he's engulfed in blue- her essence, taunting, luring him in. The siren's call is irresistible. She's chaos and trouble, and fuck.. he craves the thrill. Ao3 book link : https://archiveofourown.org/works/64616692/chapters/165974797
