Surrounding himself with walls barricading any sort of emotions left within him, Louis finds them starting to crumble down for a certain boy with emerald eyes. But the question that arises is, will this lead to the apocalypse of Tomlinson Enterprises and Louis Tomlinson? Or The one where Louis Tomlinson is the CEO of the biggest business firm in the UK, who also hides behind a mask and rules the world of crime with Zayn and Liam, away from the public eye. Along with his true occupation, Louis also veils his emotions from both the worlds until a mop of curls and a pair of gleeful green eyes unfurl him layer by layer.

He never wanted to be a hero. He never was one. Louis Tomlinson is cold. Calculating. Feared. As the ruthless leader of Europe's most powerful mafia empire, he rules with blood and steel - until a single glance from emerald-green eyes throws him off balance. Harry Styles is eighteen. Quiet. Invisible. An outsider at college, trapped between grief, dreams, and a darkness far closer than he realizes. One night, he accidentally witnesses a murder - and in that moment, everything changes. Because Louis saw him. And Louis never forgets. Harry isn't taken to the police. He isn't threatened. He isn't killed. He's taken. Why, he doesn't know. Only one thing is certain: Louis Tomlinson wants him - and what Louis wants, he gets. But possession is not love. And a velvet cage is still a cage.

No one knows his face. No one knows what he looks like. But everyone fears him. Louis Tomlinson is the most powerful man in the underworld-cold, calculating, untouchable. His empire of power, blood, and secrets is impenetrable. Until a boy steps into his life and changes everything. Harry Styles seems like the opposite-young, innocent, with curls and dimples, far too pure for Louis's dark world. But behind that gentle smile lies something no one could ever imagine: a secret written deep within his blood. When their worlds collide, something ignites that could destroy them both. Amid shadows, blood, and burning desire, one truth becomes clear: Sometimes, the greatest danger isn't your enemy- it's the person you begin to love.

Louis came here to be protected. He didn't expect to be seen. Harry is mafia. His world runs on strategy, silence, and the understanding that love is something you either hide or lose. What they have is neither safe nor simple. It's old. It's quiet. It's dangerous. Because in a life where enemies watch from the shadows, love doesn't stay private for long-it becomes a weapon. Between family, blood, and the cost of loyalty, they don't know if there's room for something as fragile as theirs. But if love has a place in the mafia, Louis think it looks like Harry. Loving him feels inevitable - even here, even like this.

Two men. One arranged marriage. A few rules. And many problems.

My heart was beating and adrenaline was running through my body at a thousand miles per second. My hand wrapped around the door knob, but then I was pulled back painfully by my arm. I was whipped around and was face to face with a pissed off Louis. "Where do you think you're going, love?" He asked, and I gulped at how dark his voice sounded. The sane part of me was absolutley terrified of it, and I didn't like it, but the part of me that thought Louis was incredible was so turned on by his dark side. "Answer the question." He said as he squeezed my wrist tighter, and I winced a bit, but I didn't answer the question. "Were you trying to leave? Were you trying to run away from me?" He asked, and I felt his nails digging into my skin. I gave a small yelp of pain and then he was dragging me harshly by my arm down the hall again. He passed the room that I was staying in before and opened another door that was three doors down. He pushed me inside, and I couldn't see a thing. The room was completely dark. I began to breath faster because I've never been a big fan of the dark. I hated it. I didn't like what I couldn't see. I jumped as I felt a hand on my waist and my breath caught as I felt a surge of electricity run through me. I felt him pull me closer to him until my back was against his chest. His lips rubbed against my ear and he slowly whispered out "You can't leave, Harry. You're never gonna get away. I'm not gonna let you."

"No, no. No talking little bug, this is the part where you listen" he cuts me off before I can finish. I'm disappointed in myself for complying to his orders. I told myself when I left him that I wouldn't let him control me like this anymore. But here I am, pinned to the bathroom wall, with his hand securely fastened around my now throbbing erection, feeling my body surrender to Harry's commands. Louis and Harry have a toxic relationship, one that no matter how many times Louis tries to leave, he finds himself back and falling surrender to Harry. It isn't that he doesn't love the dominance that Harry holds when they are together, its the fact that he only feels like he knows half of his life. Harry, always a complex, dark character, holds so many secrets that he doesn't even know how to explain or understand himself. But what he does know, is that his love for Louis is something he can never lose, he knows that the day Louis decides he doesn't want him anymore, there will be no reasons left to live. Just how far will Harry go to protect his secret life, in order to keep his relationship safe, knowing that every secret is slowly tearing them apart.

Louis moves into a flat while he’s at university, his next-door neighbour, Harry, who he’s never seen is rather loud at night. Louis confronts him about said noise and the two start to chat through the rather thin wall between their bedrooms. Will they ever meet, and if they do… what could ensue for the both of them?
