"What the fuck are you-" I stopped mid-sentence once I saw what they were staring at. James next to me whistles while Frankie mumbles a 'damn' under his breath as we stare down at her. This is not Nikki. Long silk brown waves cascade across the floor of the van as she breaths steady from her plump pink lips. Dark lashes kiss her pale white skin, and I resist the urge to run my knuckles down her cheek just to see if her skin is as soft as it looks. She looks like an Angel, in every sense of the word. Slowly my gaze found her name tag on her scrubs reading it after admiring her curves, "Theo?" I read, ignoring how right it sounded on my tongue. Where have I heard that name before? It's not a common name but I swear it sounded familiar. Book 2 of The Mafia's Obsession (not a series) An independently read!!

Only to take down the powerful mafia he's built from nothing. She's determined to take down the handsome, cold, arrogant boss regardless of the tempting lustful desires. ...Or so she thought after one night takes a turn leading the original plan through stressful obstacles. What will happen when the hate and pretending between the two turns into forbidden love? Who will Isabella betray at the end, her agency or her love? ______ His hand remains on the back of my neck, the cold glass brushing my lips, and I drink. The bitter, acidic, tart fruit flavor overpowering the sweet cake. Lorenzo's light eyes darken with fierce, anger as he watches me swallow the wine then finally parting the glass away from my mouth. The cup almost shattering in his hold before letting it go onto the wooden table. His thumb grazed my lips, staining red with the leftover wine. He scans his finger then brings it to his mouth, his blazing look remaining back on me. My stomach is twisting. My universe is spinning with insanity. He speaks low so only we can hear, "Try that again Isabella and I'll have you wishing I poison you." Started 3/5/21
