**𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆**( under heavy changes and editing) This story will have sensitive topics that meant be triggering to some readers. So please be advised. Heyy, guys so I made this story when I was pretty wrong and now going back and reading, I've decided to edit and improve the story line and ending!!!!! 𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐭𝗼𝐫𝐢𝐚 It's hard to love someone after what happened. It change me, it mold me. Living is pointless, I found myself thinking sometime all it takes it one bullet to the head. The need to stay high from drinking is the only thing holding me together until I meet 𝐇𝐢𝗺. Him with those gray eyes who gives me a reason for me to want to breathe. He who makes me feel alive with one touch , who every time I see my heart beats faster but my lungs slower. Loving just hurts so what's the point in love if it will only hurt you. 𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐚 She has that stone cold face but when you look into 𝐡𝐞𝐫 eyes you see the pain. The pain she hides from others and dwells when alone. Who can hurt a beautiful creature like that but who am I to judge when I myself have hurt her. In my world love is a weakness that will bring you to your knees for the one in your heart. No matter how hard I try , I can never forget 𝐡𝐞𝐫 but what's the point of loving if it will only hurt you. Victoria Mary Santos is the fearless badass daughter of the Spanish Mafia. She will do anything to seek her revenge on her assaulter who almost broke her. And by all means anything, she is willing to except an arranged marriage.

(Can be read as a standalone.) I was a hopeless romantic from a young age but when I watched my father strike a deal with his friend in the most desperate of times, all my dreams came shattering down. My fate was sealed with just a few words. My future wife decided. For the next eighteen years, while our parents waited for her to grow up, I spent my time strategising to break off the deal and cursing her for being a thorn in my dreams. But you can't just refuse a mafia princess especially when the deal has already been done and dusted. Feisty, talkative, pizza lover, spoiled. A complete opposite of me. I had a clear line of reasons as to why I despised her then why did I end up losing my heart to her?

Connor moves into the huge and gorgeous house right next to Serena's own big and beautiful home. The pair immediately form a growing hatred for one and other when Connors first "house warming party" involves blasting music at 2 am and his guest puking in her petunia's. He's a bad boy party animal, and she likes her quiet where she can stay inside and read all day. Nothing in common at all. In fact complete opposites. Yet, Connor can't seem to get the outline of Serena's perfect curves out of his lustful thoughts and Serena finds herself fantasizing about Connor's chiseled body on top of hers. Sexual tensions and ever growing lust sets the two a flame with desires they wish they could ignore.
