𝓢𝓱𝓮 𝓱𝓾𝓷𝓽𝓼 𝓻𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓷𝓰𝓮. 𝓗𝓮 𝓬𝓻𝓪𝓿𝓮𝓼 𝓬𝓸𝓷𝓽𝓻𝓸𝓵. 𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐞. Seven years ago, my mother and sister were murdered, and the girl I used to be died right beside them. The world came to know me as Cherry, a cold-hearted assassin with one goal: hunt down every last person responsible for my family's annihilation. I don't do distractions. I don't make mistakes. And I definitely don't get involved with men like HIM. New York's most ruthless kingpin, Ryder Black, rules the city through fear, power, and absolute obedience. He's built an empire no one dares challenge. But when I execute a hit right under his nose and disappear before his men can even draw their weapons, I do the one thing no one else ever has: I capture his attention. The plan should have been simple. Use him. Leave him. Finish my revenge. Instead, every lie draws us closer. Every move becomes a game neither of us is willing to lose. Somewhere between the bloodshed, betrayal, and secrets, hatred twists into something far more dangerous. Obsession. The kind that consumes us both. The kind that turns two predators into each other's greatest weakness. And when revenge has always come first, loving each other may be the one thing neither of us survives.

After having her heart broken by the boy she'd been in love with her whole life, Brimmy Somell decides to take a little...vacation. Little does she know, it turns out to be much more permanent than she had originally thought. After meeting tall, sexy, and mysterious Marcello Pietro, Brimmy finds herself having to make a life-changing decision and putting herself in a dangerous position she'd never imagined to be in. °•°●°•°●°•°●°•° "I love you." He says with no hesitation. It takes a moment for my hazy mind to catch up. I'm still in a daze, mesmerized by his perfections, and the deep dimple set in his cheek. I blink, "What?" "Don't make me say it again." He says, sounding frustrated, but I catch the hint of embarassment in his voice as he runs his hand through his hair and takes a step back. I grab a hold of the neckline to his shirt and yank him back within close proximity of me. "What if I want you to say it again?" I ask, studying his eyes. "Isn't it enough that I said it once?" He scowls, trying to pull back, but I restrain him from doing so. "Nope. Just say it one more time and I'll be satisfied." I state bravely, feeling a boost of confidence I didn't have earlier. He glances down, then looks back up into my eyes, allowing me to spot the vulnerability and uncertainty he feels. "I love you." He says, putting more strength in his voice than he looks to have. I grin, pulling him in for a kiss, but right before I do, I say the one phrase that will seal my fate, "I love you too, big, bad mafia boss." ••••• The story may be rough but the comment section makes up for it. ••••• Word count: 51,173 ••••• Written and published 2018-2019
