"I have nothing to lose. Death? It doesn't scare me." Living under a mask of innocence, she's the perfect agent. Cold, calculated, and ready to retire after one last mission. Her escape from the life of violence is almost in reach, but fate seems to have other plans. When her mission takes an unexpected turn, she finds herself tangled in a web of danger and intrigue, crossing paths with people she never thought existed and a man with power, danger, and ties to a notorious mafia. Now, nothing is as it seems. One final choice could change her life forever. But will she survive the consequences?

Pain comes in many forms. Heartbreak, headaches, broken bones, and that quiet, soul-splitting kind that doesn't leave bruises. But the kind of pain I've witnessed goes beyond all that. Have you ever heard a man scream, really scream, as he's being beaten and his fingers broken one by one? I have. And as twisted as it might sound, in that moment, it felt... satisfying. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a psychopath. These people, they deserve it. In a world full of monsters, someone has to be worse. Someone has to be the shadow in the corner, the final judgment behind a red-drenched smile. That someone is me. Reanne Anderson. Twenty-four. Assassin for the Anderson family. Secret hacker behind their impenetrable systems but to most, I'm the Red Lady. I respect boundaries until someone crosses mine. Then I become a storm in heels, or combat boots, or whatever the hell I'm wearing that day. And then there's him. Lorenzo Russo. Twenty-eight. Newly crowned Don of the Russo family after his father was butchered by the Russian mafia. Lost his mother in the same bloodbath. He's cold, calculated and ruthless. He looks at people like he's already decided whether they're useful or dead. He's got the eyes of a man who's seen too much, felt too little, and trusts no one. Our paths were never supposed to cross. But war doesn't care about plans. He needed someone who could crack into encrypted systems. He needed a ghost. He got me. But sometimes, even in the darkest corners of the world, two dark souls might just bleed for each other.

While she works for him, he notices something as well...that the rumor about her luck might not be too far fetched. Follow the two in this story as Zoe tries to figure out what secrets her boss has been hiding and he tries to figure out what secrets she can help him uncover.

"Someone's mother, someone's daughter. Holds your hands through plastic now, Doc I think she's crashing out. And some things you just can't speak about..." "Aviana Campbell, you've noticed her edge, I presume?" he waits for her to nod before continuing, "Capitol manufactured venom runs through her blood vessels from where a snake mutation bit her during her games." They watch as she throws cleaver after cleaver, each one with meticulous precision and brutal force. The projections pixelate almost rhythmically, one after another as she hits their abdomens and crania in turn. "Didn't she receive an antidote from a sponsor?" Katniss asks in confusion, she had watched snippets of the young girls games. Beetee hums, "Yes, the antidote prevented her from dying...the Capitol didn't bother to take away the side effects however. Hallucinations, voices in her head, anger. They've manipulated her perspective of reality to make her more entertaining...that girl has been groomed into the perfect Capitol weapon from the inside outwards." Pre Hunger Games - Mockingjay

A Name in the Dark Some names are erased. Others are forged in silence. After six generations of sons, twin daughters were born to Italy's most feared mafia family. But their legacy was stolen. At just five years old, Lavinia and Flavia vanished-kidnapped by their family's enemies and torn apart forever. The younger twin, Lavinia, was hidden in a dungeon, stripped of her name, and forged into a weapon. Years later, she breaks free-no longer a child, but a storm cloaked in shadows. Now a feared assassin, underground racer, and rising mafia donna in France, she runs an empire of weapons and fashion under the name Lavinia Noiret. Her past is a locked vault-until it isn't. The elder sister, Flavia, was left behind. Raised by cruel step-parents who hid the truth, her life was marked by bruises and silence. When they died, she returned to the orphanage, her memories a blur, her soul stitched together with grace and quiet resilience. She becomes a gifted designer and launches a jewelry brand that whispers the elegance she never had. But when Lavinia breaks out of the darkness with two dangerous allies, she goes searching for the sister she lost. What she finds is not a victim-but a survivor. Now reunited, the twins must unravel the secrets of their past, reclaim their stolen bloodline, and choose whether to rule the empire that once betrayed them-or burn it to the ground. Because some names don't disappear. They wait in the dark-ready to strike.

He races for Red Bull. She designs his wings. Falling for each other? That wasn't on the grid. She's the aerodynamicist every team wants. He's the driver no one can catch. What starts as flirty banter in the garage turns into late nights, stolen glances, and a tension that no diffuser can fix. Love doesn't follow regulations. And neither does Max Verstappen. Quick author note; Heyy, so first time writing a fic, no idea what I'm doing. But I promise it gets better in the later chaps. First few are definitely a bit boring cus it all slowly builds up. This is slow-burn with fluff, and no smut.
