The Price of a Choice
Sequal to Price of a Life. Don't need to read it to understand (i don't think), but it'll make more sense. Growing up with the boys, life got interesting. True to Delirious' words, you grew up to be part of the family; you became good at the trade. In Los Santos, if you're going to be apart of the best gang, you're going to be a girl of many trades, all while finishing high school. You even enjoy the family business. And then someone walks into your life. Someone who shouldn't be there. A literal ghost from your past (Also, cover isn't technically what reader looks like, just what I imagined, feel free to make them look how you like!)Complete
Grifter|| A Love Story||
We were a team. A confidence team, gaining your trust and ripping you off for every penny we could squeeze out of you. Stealing millions between pickpocketing, elaborate schemes against the rich, and knocking off banks; we made it big. We were good, really good at what we did. This time we were too greedy. We couldn't pass up a 4 million dollar art con. Each couple would have walked away with 2 million dollars and we could have settled down and finally started the family we had talked about for years. But he disappeared......in the middle of the night, abandoning me. Until he returned with a bullet hole in his arm and desperation in his eyes. Begging me to help him one last time, but could I ever forgive him? Could I ever look past his betrayal of leaving me in Tennessee to fend for myself and fight off the cops myself? ●●●●●●●●●●●●●● "What were the first words you ever spoke to me?" He asked softly, his thumbs wiping away the wetness from my cheeks. "No." I choked out. "Don't! I don't want to say it." "You said...Hi, my name is Alexis and I just moved into my grandparent's house across the street. Can I play with you? And I knew the moment I laid eyes on you...." "You were 10 years old, you didn't know shit." I croaked. "I may have been 10, but I knew a beautiful girl when I saw one. And you blew the rest of the world out of the water. I may have saved you by leaving you in Tennessee, but at least you still had your grandparents. I had no one if I didn't have you."Complete

"Now you listen to me and you listen good! I don't give a shit in what you think about me because guess what? I could care less! You mean NOTHING to me! Never will! So let's just get this bullshit over with, pretend we love each other to put on a good show, get divorced when this is all over and never have to worry about seeing each other again!" He snaps at me. "That's fine by me because as far as I personally am concerned, I could never love you either! A monster such as yourself doesn't deserve love! Not when you treat people INCLUDING girls the way you do! So go ahead and act all high and above everybody, but let me remind you, you will never be anything more than a lowlife, egotistical, womanizing, selfish, dumb little boy trying to be a man who will die alone! I may not be a thin pornstar or barbie-model type of a girl but just remember, YOU pushed ME away!" I shouted back and stood there for a moment feeling a mix of emotions. From happy & liberated for finally standing up for myself. To hurt & upset that he STILL can't see what all could be!

She is hurt, feels betrayed but also is now faced with another dilemma on top of it, she finds out that Rowan and them were promised her beautiful cousin instead, and so now she is stuck to an egotistical, maliputive, deceiving, arrogant cold hearted killer who she has to pretend she is in love with. Rowan doesn't want a relationship but is forced to go along with this idea in order to become the new Mafia King. His father believes in family. Even when he warms up a little to the marriage idea.......... Can they fall for each other? Or will their fate be different than any other cliche?!? © Copyright 2020 All Rights ReservedComplete
