Verona Nico Valentini is not your average Italian woman she is the next in line to the most powerful Italian Mafia in Europe. • "You women can't do shit," another man spits out. He was maybe a little older than me. I scoff and slip out a knife I had in my heel. I stood, walking over to him, playing with the small knife in my hand. "I am no ordinary woman," I whisper in his ear as a smirk creeps on my face. I stab his upper arm and he yelped in surprise. I twisted the knife and added, "If you aren't going to take me seriously then now is your chance to get the fuck out because I'm not going to take your bullshit." He tried so hard not to scream from the pain, his face turning red. I pulled out the knife and walked back to my seat. Nobody dared to make a noise. "If I hear anybody complain about how I don't know shit. Next time this knife," I raised the bloody knife and throwing it on the table "Will be in your heart. I'm not here to play any games, gentlemen. I'm here to get business done."

"There is a charm about the forbidden that makes it unspeakably desirable." - Mark Twain ------------------------- The moment our eyes meet, the sparks in the air are almost tangible. My heart begins to flutter in my chest as I slowly slip away, drowning in those arcane silver seas that glinted with specks of gold in them. My breaths are stolen away with just a fortuitous slight brush of his hand against mine. And he isn't exactly in oblivion of the profound emotions he kindles in me. He is rather transparent about it. But, he is forbidden. He is my cousin's husband. The cousin who means more than a sister to me. We are bestfriends. And I just couldn't be selfish enough to set fire to their marriage that was already falling apart. So, I concealed my unequivocal attraction for him in the deepest corner of my mind until the night when he shows up on my doorstep with intents darker than the tenebrous night. -------------------------- **Warning: This novella contains mature and sexual contents.

THANK YOU, Wattpad, for the HQ Love Watty Award! Concept: A mysterious young woman flees from her troubled past only to discover it is impossible to escape THE SECRET that haunts her. *PLEASE NOTE: This story was originally inspired by the movie "Sleeping With the Enemy". * * * * * "I would never, Steven," she promised, turning away from him in an attempt to protect herself. "I know you wouldn't," he screamed. Cupping her chin in his hand, he forced her to look at him. "Because I would kill you." His words hung heavy in the air. Sarah's heart sank into her stomach. No matter how many times she'd heard the menacing phrase, she could never get used to it. It had the same affect on her as the first time he'd thrown the ugly words in her face. The familiar sting of bile rose in her throat, and she knew she would deplete the contents of her stomach once she was locked in the safety of their master bath. 'If I make it through this time,' she agonized. Her biggest fear was that one day he would really lose his temper with her. Who knew what would happen then? *This story is an unedited first draft.
