She has a family that would burn the world to protect her-and they just might have to. Will she rise from her past...or be consumed by it? ★★★ "You... came? But you're... supposed to hate me," I rasped, barely able to speak. He smiled a sad, broken smile as his hands moved to the chains, fingers trembling but quick. "I don't," he whispered. I wanted to laugh. Or cry. Or scream. Maybe all of them. "Well... I hate you," I said, my voice cracking. He paused for only a second, then leaned in slowly, pressing his forehead to mine. "No you don't." Then he kissed me. ★★★ - Mafia - Long Lost Sister - Slow Burn - Romance Started: 26/1/24 Finished: 29/4/25
