"Why didn't you tell me?" Marco's voice boomed with authority as Cay's body shook from his outburst. "I tried" she cried softly. "I was six weeks pregnant, when I found out. I tried coming by your home, everyday for a week, only to be told that you didn't want to see me. I knew what I had to do, so I set my mind to the task at hand, got a job, found a little apartment and with Julietta's help, I had Julian." He tried to digest everything that he'd been told and with the sudden knowledge that someone had deliberately deceived them both, he was angry. More than angry, he was livid. He had missed four years of his son's life and that was unforgivable in his book and now he needed to know who so desperately wanted to keep them apart. Will Cayenne be able to forgive Marco? Would she ever be able to open her heart again to the only man that she'd ever been with and loved? Only time would tell but she was willing to try, if only for little Julian's sake. Follow the twists and turns of Marco Salvatore DeLuca, Mafia boss of the New York area and Aerin Cayanne Daniels' lives as they try to find their way back to each other amidst all the danger, lies, deceit and suspicions his lifestyle could throw at them.

"Parker, where the fuck do you think your going." "Home!" I yelled, as I ran past him. His eyes darkened with anger. "Come here." He commanded, grabbing me by the hips and forcing me against the wall. "You are mine." "I'm not a pet, that you can just own me." "Don't test me Parker." Emmett growled. The anger in his eyes intensified. I was beginning to get scared. " Please Let me go." I pleaded. "No. You belong to me." "I own You."" "Do you understand?" I nodded. " Yes." " I wanna hear you say it." " I'm yours Emmett." "Good girl." " Now come back to bed."

Carina Romanov is a 27 year old business woman. Her Russian parents, Boris and Nadia Romanov, adopted her when she was 5 from an orphanage in New York. Ever since then she has called Brighton Beach her home. She had seen and heard many things through the years but what made Carina a favorite was the fact that she was loyal and trustworthy. She never revealed any of what she'd been privy to. When her parents decided to retire she took over Romanov's, their restaurant, remodeled it and made it an even more popular spot among the locals, especially anyone in organized crime. When Carina was 10 her mother told her that she would be betrothed to someone in Russia. Dimitri Alexandrov. Their families had been connected for many years and because Carina had been in this type of life for years it was not a shock to her. For 17 years she would get letters, phone calls and sometimes packages from Dimitri but she'd never met the man. She was always told that one day he would just show up and her new life would begin...but until then she would have to settle for images that the sound of his voice would invoke, learn to trust him to keep her safe and forgive those closest to her for keeping her in the dark regarding her adoption. She would soon be in danger from things she didn't even know about, from people she didn't even know and a biological father who wanted her dead. *All characters are purely fictional.

"How dare you fucking disobey me," He grits his teeth clenching his fists while glaring at me. "Please let me go, I promise I won't say anything to anyone," I beg tears sliding down my cheeks slowly backing away from him. "Didn't I make myself clear already? You will never escape from here." My heart sinks down to my stomach. Anger quickly rising making me splutter two words I'd soon would regret. "FUCK YOU!," I scold. "What did you just say?," he grumbles his chocolate brown eyes three shades darker almost looking black. I gasp, as my back hits the wall watching him close in on me. I try to curve to the side, but he immediately closes me in by stretching both of his arms out. His hands firmly flat against the wall. "Repeat what you just said to me Madison," he evilly mutters his eyes locked with mine. "Leo please," I mumble. "You will learn to obey me," he venomously says his hot breathe hitting my flesh near my ear. Suddenly, his large hand grips my neck tightly chocking me. Both of my hands clutches onto his hand trying to free myself from his grip. "P-pl," I struggle to say while trying to breathe. I can feel the life in me slowly slipping away. My vision starting to blur in and out of focus. Leo suddenly lets go of my neck and I helplessly drop to the floor gasping for air like a fish gasps for water. I can feel tears sliding down my cheeks as I realize my life could have ended in the hands of this handsome murderer. "Recognize who you are speaking to. No one, I mean no one ever disrespects Leo Castillo, leader of The Red Eagles!", he firmly says his cold eyes glaring down at me. I stay silent completely mute. My body trembling from pure fear scared to say anything that might upset him again. Leo turns his heel walking out of the room locking it from the outside leaving me in shock of what just happened.

How exactly does he plan on paying me triple? He grabbed my wrist and pulled me inwards, my face inches away from his chest. With his free hand, he gently tucked my hair behind my ear. His breath tickled on my exposed skin as he whispered two words that sent shivers down my back. "The Mafia."
