A week after one of Detective Mandy Santos's police officers allegedly shot and killed a black man for "simply being black," Christine Roberts, Mandy's girlfriend's adopted sister, argues with Mandy Santos about whether the officer's actions were an act of brutality or completely justifiable. Less than an hour after the argument, Christine, as a crisis negotiator, and Ashtyn Datcher, her adoptive sister and fellow crisis negotiator, witness an act of brutality from another one of Mandy's officers against a black man. Due to the darkness, Christine was the only person able to see everything clearly. Chris and Ash must confront Mandy about the situation. Mandy knows what she has to do about the officer who committed such horrid acts, but the courage it takes to correctly handle the situation is difficult to acquire, especially with most of the country watching her every move.

"Don't fight me, mi amor... surrendering will hurt much less," he murmured, his lips grazing her ear, sending a chill down her spine. "Good girl," he growled, his dark eyes locking onto hers as he hovered over her trembling frame, his dominance suffocating yet impossible to resist. A Deal Sealed in Betrayal Dario De Costa-the merciless and feared Don of the Italian mafia-is forced into an alliance with the American mafia through marriage. Known for his cold cruelty and unforgiving nature, Dario views this union as nothing more than a means to secure absolute power. But his meticulously laid plans collapse when the bride he was promised-Ashley Brown-disappears on the eve of the wedding, fleeing with her lover. In a desperate attempt to salvage the alliance, the family substitutes her younger sister, Olivia Brown, just 19-a quiet girl haunted by years of abuse from their father, Alexander Brown. The whispers are everywhere: "Dario De Costa-betrayed by a bride switch!" Now shackled to the Devil himself, Olivia must endure a marriage born of deception. Dario, enraged and humiliated, sees her as nothing but collateral damage-a pawn in his ruthless game to dominate the American mafia. But Olivia, fragile as she seems, hides a quiet strength. As Dario's icy façade begins to crack, an unexpected connection ignites between them, blurring the lines between vengeance and desire. Can Olivia survive the inferno of his wrath-or will she emerge as the one to tame the Devil? In a world of betrayal, power, and dark passion, only one thing is certain: Love and hate have never burned so dangerously close

"Previously known as... Scarletstroke: Girl assassin" * No hesitation * No killing of children * No killing of innocent people * No emotions * And defenitely, NO falling in love ~ Those are the main rules code named Scarletstroke, former assassin Scarlett Gonzales lives by. She is a highly-trained, highly-precise and highly-dangerous killer who considers herself the same as any other businesswoman, doing 'just her job' and convincing herself that she is dealing with 'just her target' rather than a person. She succeeds in contract killing better than any known assassin that ever existed and successfully ignores all feelings or emotions, knowing that they tend to make the "job" not go as planned. So when a new contract comes in and the mark is a certain gang leader that caught Scarlett's eye, she couldn't resist venturing deeper into a world filled with illegal activities on a personal mission to find out why he has a price on his head. Although, what she finds in that world isn't quite what she expected. Now, torn between duty and passion, Scarlett must decide if she pulls the trigger or if she becomes the target herself? Who knows, maybe he might be the answer to her deepest desires. Because her next target: Cayden Carlisle. +++ The culprit took in a deep, calming breath. "You may as well shoot me now, but just know that I am still going to kiss you." By the time he grabbed her waist with one hand and her wrist, connecting to the hand holding the gun, with the other... she was lost. Completely gone. She never stood a chance. His smell, his mouth, his soft growling noises. They were more than enough to disarm her. "I finally figured something out about you." He whispered, pulling her closer, trying to meld every part of her to him. "You display all your emotions through body language. In this case, your hand is betraying your mask." Every word of his was chosen for maximum impact. No wasted syllables, no extra breaths. Just facts.

He traces her mundane movement as she, quite sharply, plucks the rose from the vined wall. Predicts it. Anticipates it. "And what did you think of the detectives?" The LED distinguishing his humanoid being from the real one before him turns yellow, an outward reflection of his momentary analysis. "The Lieutenant has become rather hostile since being assigned to the case; he is reluctant to be working with an Android, that much is obvious." Amanda lifts the rose to the swaying sunlight, twirling the delicate flora between her fingers. "And his partner?" Connor's software instinctively recalls your introduction back at the department and your interactions henceforth. The curves and dips of your features are comely at first glance, a fleeting comfort from the razor-edge perception of your eyes and the thorns of your tongue - much like Amanda's rose. "She appears to be more receptive to my involvement in the case, I believe that she will be extremely beneficial to the investigation, reserved as she may be." *ೃ༄࿐ "Forgetting who you are, to become what someone needs you to be... Maybe that's what it means to be alive." An odd trio the three of you are: an angry, drunk, detective with a vendetta against all technology; a stoic officer lost in her own constellation of contradictions and questions; and an introspective Android with a mission (sent by CyberLife, of course). Much to all's reluctance, you're tied together in the uprise of deviancy, tasked with finding a solution to prevent civil war. But will your moral compasses point you astray? Will it tighten the nooses around your necks by which you are binded? Or will the unraveling frays tell a story - a warning to be heeded?
