A love story about a troubled girl and a boy on the run.

"It was supposed to be a game, I was supposed to break you, destroy you and send you back. I wasn't supposed to love you. God, I wasn't supposed to love you this much." **** Santiago built his mafia to his perfection. It's deadly, ruthless, unforgiving and harsh. To everyone on the outside. The residents of Santiago's estate have two sides, ones that outsiders see and one that the families know. They're unlike any other mafia, compassion and kindness flood into the house, and they are perfectly content they way others see them. When Illianna Edwards is found lurking around the territory and gets kidnapped, she witnesses both sides of the mafia and is astonished. She came from the enemy estate that had nothing even close to love and kindness, she was shocked at how friendly everyone was. It made her suspicious. Santiago wanted everything concerning the Edwards gone, and when one came falling into his lap he couldn't pass up the chance to obliterate the Edwards once and for all, especially since Illianna is a fighting spirit and isn't easily broken. The plan was to make her fall for him, break her heart and send her back scared, striking fear into the Edwards estate, but things never really go as plan. (The Spanish in this book might be incorrect. Everything was google translated.)

"Who are you?" I asked, still left in the shock and scared state that came over me when gunshots were heard. I look up to his face which was hidden behind a dark shadow and bit my lips as silence fell between us. "Who I am is none of your business," he said in a cold, husky voice that somehow caused me to shiver. A frown made it's way onto my face as I looked at the mysterious man who refused to tell me who he is. He stood tall in front of me as we fell into silence again but only for a few seconds before he began to slowly move towards me. His face slowly being exposed to the light, giving me a glimpse of his icy grey eyes. "let's go" he spoke again before turning around. I hesitated a bit before turning around and for some reason followed behind him. ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── Ariana is a 26-year-old young lady, employed at a famous bar in New York City.

"Watch it." "Watch it," I mock him in a whisper, feeling brave. Suddenly, he gets up from his stool and stalks towards me. His large frame towering over my sitting form. I swallow the last bit of my pancakes slowly, my eyes wandering up his body until they stop at his face. He seems displeased. Very much so. His hand grabs the part where my head and neck connect and he slowly but firmly tilts my head back, his fingers tangling in my hair. His skin is rough on mine but still oddly comforting. "What did you just say?" He asks, each of his words pronounced slowly and precisely. "I-I-I j-just.. I was j-just joking." I barely choke out. "You were just joking, huh?" "Mhm." I nod, my head subconsciously leaning into his touch my eyes closing on their own accord. His thumb caresses my cheekbone and I never want him to stop. I have never had a male being make me feel this good before. Don't get me wrong I did kiss a few people but it never felt as good as what he is doing right now. "Romy?" "Yes," I breathe out, biting my lip. His thumb is quick in pulling it from between my teeth. "Nevermind." He rushes out, detaching his hand from my face. Hey Guys! I hope you enjoy my story.
