"I don't like him." I murmur against his lips. "It's only ever been you, Noah." He continues to kiss me, his hand now caressing my cheek gently. "He's just a friend." I murmur again. He suddenly stops and looks up at me. "Good." He says, as he stares into my eyes. "Because no one can have you. You are mine." *** Ava Woods had what mostly every girl her age wanted.

#1 Heartbroken #3 Crush As a Mafia King son, I had given myself a rule to never fall in love with any girl after my father killed my mother in front of me. To prevent my father's enemies from finding me I was sent away to the US to attend high school and that's when I met her. Bella. An innocent, sweet nerd who captured my attention with her soft smile and beautiful eyes behind big glasses. Then the wall I had built around myself started to crumble and to avoid that, I became cruel, ruthless and started to bully her to bury my emotions. **Completed**

When Lucia and Lorenza are only three years old, the Russian mafia tears them from their home, erasing their past and thrusting them into a world ruled by fear and blood. Clinging to each other, the twins survive as best they can-until, at seven, Lucia orchestrates a daring plan to have them adopted by the French mafia, hoping to give Lorenza a life of protection and freedom. But safety eludes Lucia. Before Gabriel Gaspard can adopt her and offer her a life of warmth and security, she is taken elsewhere-remade into something unrecognizable. Trained as a killer, forged through pain, and stripped of her childhood, Lucia learns obedience only through suffering, her innocence buried beneath skill, strategy, and lethal precision. At twelve, she accomplishes the impossible: she escapes. Broken yet unbowed, she finds her way back to Lorenza, now thriving under the protection of five formidable French mafia brothers. Alongside them are four loyal friends from the orphanage, children who, like Lucia, survived without family-but now have one they can call their own. By seventeen, the twins are drawn back into the orbit of their seven biological brothers, heirs to an empire grown darker, deadlier, and more cunning with every passing year. Tensions flare when the family discovers Lorenza's love-a man whose very presence threatens to unravel everything they have built. Arguments erupt, alliances fracture, and fear coils tight around every heart in the room. But while they argue over the danger standing beside Lorenza, the man by Lucia's side is a force all others fear: a legend in the shadows of the underworld, whispered about even among kings of crime. And as the layers of her secrets are peeled back, the family will finally see the truth-the deadliest threat has never been outside the family. It has been hiding in plain sight all along.
