Blood and death lurk beneath his immaculate suits and callous eyes. I would know, after all, he's my husband. However, I've also been beneath the suits, and I reckon he's more perilous for my heart than my life. Cold. Cruel. Calculated. That's what they say about Lorenzo Santini. And he'll be damned if that changes even if it kills him.

----- In serious need of revision! ----- Wanna-be journalist Kate Santoro would do anything for the scoop. Anything. Including finding her way into an underground club exclusive to only those in the Genovese mafia and the beautiful women they employee. What could be more perfect? She would stick to the shadows, snap a few videos, and write the biggest story New York has ever seen, therein making her a legend! Easy as pie. Until she gets found. A series of blatant lies and lucky breaks later and she is mistaken to be one of the workers underneath. While many might be terrified of this predicament Kate couldn't be more excited. The freedom to roam the area and talk to the members of the infamous brotherhood will leave no rock unturned. All she has to do is keep her cover until the night is over and the workers go home. What a fantastic position she is in! There are just two problems. One being him. Alessio. The Don, the Godfather, the Capo di tutti capi (the boss of bosses) who has taken a keen interest in Kate. Even that is something she could probably handle for one night. Except problem number two. They don't leave. Not at the end of the night, the end of the week, or even the end of the month. Alessio's interest in Kate threatens to expose her, something she would surely die from. He knows she doesn't belong but it's not as though she could have just waltzed in, right? By the time Kate realizes that not even the greatest scoop is worth the price, she is in far too deep to call it quits now. ~~~Praise for When The Sun Goes Down~~~ Natasha427: "It was so captivating that I may or may not have spent the last several hours holed up in my room frantically scrolling down to read more.

[ DISCONTINUED ] ❝He took one look at her and he knew she was the perfect kind of trouble: a good girl who knew exactly when to be bad.❞ Zayn Malik.

Warning: this story will contain violence and sexual scenes.. -------------------------- "You will love me, one day" He boomed, his voice filling the room. I could tell he was upset, hurt, angry. I know all he wanted was my love. But I just couldn't give that to him. "I could never love a man like you!"

"You saw me in a way no one had before." Zayn whispered after a minute or two of silence. I looked up to read his overwhelmed gaze, and for the first time, I couldn't read his emotions.

Curiosity was my weakness, and he knew that. I just didn't think things would get this messy. I ended up going through doors that shouldn't even be opened. But sometimes, you have to go through something so ugly, in order to be apart of something so beautiful Zayn Malik Au....the story is not mine the owner kellyystroh all credits go to her . she is the hardworker not me I just want to share it on Wattpad since she posted it on Quotev

[COMPLETED] ❝To know what life is worth, you have to risk it once in a while.❞ Alexandra Holt and Zayn Malik are from different worlds. Alexandra has grown up with the type of life some can only dream of--a mansion of a house, a plethora of people to serve her every need, and a father of such financial status and pure power that she's been handed everything in life. Zayn, on the other hand has had a starkly divergent type of lifestyle. He knows the modesty of a bungalow, he's familiar with overdue bills, and has had to work tooth and nail to own the items he's needed--extravagant or not. He's worked his way up from being a nobody to being one of the most wanted and well-paid transporters (or drivers) at a very young age some have ever seen. So, it's safe to say that when Victor--Alexandra's father--decides to send her away again for her own safety from the dangers of his business activities, Zayn and her don't exactly see eye to eye. Alexandra's spoiled and Zayn's rough around the edges, which makes it rather interesting for the two of them out on the road. With boyfriends to cry over, constant fights to pick over the littlest of differences, rather scarce money (or at least in Alexandra's eyes), hidden secrets, and the everlasting threat of danger lurking around every corner, the both of them only have one another to lean on. Which means that they both have that much more to lose. In Risky Business, surprises are the inevitable and every little decision made can be life-changing. ✵ In which he only protects her because of the money, until love sneaks in past his guarded heart WARNING: This story may have scenes of violence, mature content, sexual content, drug use or references and foul language, so please read at your own discretion Started: January 20, 2016 Completed: August 30, 2018
