[COMPLETED] This story is messy! Prepare to be pissed! Lol

Cover by: @Enny101 Christian DeLuca is a very successful businessman with little regard for anyone he doesn't consider family, he's found work and life easier this way. What happens when he finds himself consumed by one thing, or rather one person, Alesha Moore. His plans are to get her, keep her and never let her find out about his title as a kingpin in the Italian mafia. *** "Alesha, where do you think you're going?" he asked in a deep and unsettling tone. "I just saw you commit mass murder Christian. I can't be a part of this world, your world. I'm not built for this life, if this is who you are then.." I let out a humorless chuckle. "I couldn't stomach today let alone the rest of my life. I need to leave, and you need to let me." My voice was so low, even breaking toward the end. Each word provoked tears to spill from my eyes and even more came rushing when I could see how what I said must've felt like daggers to his chest. "You can either stay and talk to me or calm down outside and we'll talk when you're ready, but you are NOT leaving me." His once sexy, endearing voice turned cold and sent frightening shivers throughout my body and I don't know who was staring back at me, but I could no longer see my Christian, not the man I love. *** This book contains mature language AND images, if you find that unsettling, I promise this is not the book for you 😬

The greatest gift known to a man and woman on earth is the ability to have and create a child. The love that is shared between parents and their kids would be an unexplainable type of love and that was the most magical thing about it. Couldn't no one compare to it? Twenty-three-year-old dancer, model and actress Riley Connor is learning to take on the world full force and learning to make the best of it with no consequences but what happens when one of those consequences from her past catches up with her and sucks her in at the feel of being in the same presence. How will she cope and what will she do? A spinoff to 'Nothing Like That' and 'The Connors: Trials and Tribulations'.

The Connors are back but at what cost? With everything that happened in their past will their marriage be able to stand with all the curves and decisions that they are about to make? Will it be too much for everyone around? Are they finally at peace knowing that they bring each other peace? Or was it all apart of their fantasy? Let's get the ball rolling because shit is about to start folding. 'Nothing Like That' sequel.

Life, that's the funny thing about it. We always wanted things to go the way that we imagined it too, but of course plans just always have to change. What if we could've thought about how we wanted our lives to go from in the womb? Wouldn't that make everything so much better? What if we could've created our husbands/wives for ourselves, would that make us a God/Deity? Maybe, just maybe. We were all just living our truths and we needed people to come into our lives to shine the light where we always played blind to. This was about to be the reality of everything that we tried so hard to envisioned for ourselves. Truths are about to be tested, faith was about to be questioned and most importantly Love was about to be granted.

Allure lightly chuckled, "Cmon Moo, you know you don't like girls like me."
