Velvet & Vengeance by adalynee_

Lena Morrow thought the worst thing about working nights in a city that never sleeps was the loneliness. That is, until she realizes someone's been watching her-someone patient, quiet, and deadly. When a stranger saves her from a contract hit and drags her into a web of secrets, she learns her missing brother was never just a ghost from her past-he was part of something bigger. Something ruthless. Cassian Vale doesn't do attachments. As the underworld's most efficient assassin, his rules are simple: no names, no mercy, no survivors. But Lena Morrow breaks every one of them. Protecting her means betraying the empire that built him, and once he's tasted her defiance, he can't let her go-no matter how much blood it costs. As bullets fly and alliances crumble, their story becomes one of survival, obsession, and a love sharp enough to cut. In a city of smoke and sin, they'll have to decide whether to save each other... or destroy everything in the name of it.

Verity (UNEDITED & DISCONTINUED) by l0vrayy

Verity was a quiet 16 year old girl who had a tough life. She never meant for things to go so bad- so why did they? Abandoned at the ripe age of 3, she was adopted by a narcissistic asshole who abused her for 13 years straight. Her only escape was her best friends, who she saw as her older brothers and his dad- who she called her dad. He fed her and kept her safe, helping her when things got bad at home. She introduced herself as Verity Volkov, which wasn't her last name but the last name she wishes she had. Her father figure, Mikael Volkov, was the leader of the Russian mafia. Verity attended NLA, New Life Academy. One day, when she is at school, the unspeakable happens- her adoptive father commits. With nowhere to legally go, she sits in the sheriffs office, awaiting her DNA test. To her surprise, she has a family- in fact, she had a mom, a dad, and 6 older brothers. Six! What was she to do as she moves to Italy to live with her biological family, who appeared to be the Russians rivals- the Italian mafia. Her father was the don of the goddamn Italian mafia. She stays quiet and emotionless during her time in Italy, trying to cope before she meets Nicolas Ricci- the man her family despises yet the man who took interest in her. The man she falls in love with without realizing. As her story unfolds and secrets reveal, Verity goes through an emotional rollercoaster. And through this all Verity has one question only: Why did her biological family abandon her? What will she do to cope through all of this? ______________________________________
