Riley's life is simple-wake up, brew coffee, repeat. Working at a quiet café in the city, she thrives in routine, never expecting danger to walk through the door. But then *he* arrives-**Romano Vitale**, a devastatingly handsome stranger with a taste for black espresso and an aura of quiet command. What Riley doesn't know is that Romano isn't just another customer. He's the ruthless **heir to the Italian Mafia**, a man who deals in blood and power. And when a rival faction threatens her by accident, Romano does something reckless-he **claims her**. Now, Riley is trapped in a world of shadows, where loyalty is bought with violence and desire burns hotter than betrayal. Romano will protect her at any cost... but can she survive the man behind the monster?

The aliens kill every human they catch, or in rare cases, put trackers on them to discover their hidden villages. When Natalie is caught in an ambush, she is unexpectedly released. But there is no tracker. The Saursunes have an entirely different motive this time. *** Run. Don't look back. When Natalie is trapped in an alien ambush, she is unexpectedly released. The first human to ever be let go. The Saursunes invaded centuries ago, and everyone knows that getting caught is certain death. Natalie is confused but grateful to be alive. As a porter, one of the few humans with the rare ability to teleport between special crystal formations, she must leave the safety of her desert village every day to help gather food. When other villages increase their raids on the Saursunes' farms, the aliens retaliate by hunting down every human they can find - except Natalie's group. Instead of trying to kill her and those helping her, they bring them food instead. Is it a trap? Or something else? Natalie isn't sure, but one thing is certain: the Saursunes aren't done with her yet.

"Can I date you?" His brows were very expressive and now the light of his green eyes shone when I showed a difficult expression; it was after all reflected in his eyes. "No" His body that was crouched to level against my small frame stood up; he was massively intimidating yet he always reminds me of the goofy joker we have in the back of our high school class. "It's fine, I'll ask you again" "Give up, I don't want to fall in love with a player like you, no offense" I bit my lower lip in contemplation, I didn't hate him nor dislike him. In particular, we get along well to the point that it still surprises me today. But I just don't want to get hurt. I can already see it in the future and I know I'm too negative but I just don't want to risk my heart for something I knew won't go well. 'But what if it did?' My heart whispered but I buried it down, not wanting to fall into my truest desire and his green playful eyes. "None taken" He gave me that familiar smirk of his which left me somewhat annoyed and when I was about to turn back, I stop in my tracks when I heard his words. "You know I'll always ask you for a date because I like you right? This is not a joke or a bet. I genuinely like you so if you finally have the decision to agree on a date with me then I'll show you that what you fear is not gonna happen" With that, I glared at him and rushed out of the door with my face flushed and my lips were spread widely a silly smile. *** This is a work of fiction, a story that I made in a whim when I was washing dishes and yes, I wanted the cliche womanizing male lead and awkward female lead so strap your belts for a story that will deviate from what you think the story is!
