Dark Red

•A Mafia Story•

'BANG BANG BANG' the door shakes.

I groggily woke from my sleep and made my way to the front door. I swing open the door, not thinking twice about it.

My breathe was caught in my throat, as I stared at the officer in front of me. A serious expression held his features. He was beautiful.

"Yes officer?"

"There's been a noise complaint."

How? I was just asleep seconds ago. Glancing at my clock on the wall, the time read 2:37 am. I gave the mysterious cop a puzzled look.

"You must have the wrong person?"

"I'm going to need to come in and check your apartment." He states. He took his first step but I quickly cut him off, by pulling the door shut. Before I could even stop him, his foot shot out. The door came to a halt.

I internally sighed and went stiff when he forcefully pushed the door back open with his one hand. I stumbled back from his force.

"Listen sweetheart, we can do this the easy way, or the hard way.."

I stare at him in horror as he stalks towards me. His eyes hooded, like I was his next meal.

"Y-you're not a cop... are you"

He merely plucks off the shiny badge pinned to his chest, snapping it in half. My stomach twists in a knot when I realize he's now standing in my apartment.

"Hard way it is then."

Violet Anderson never thought he'd come for her.

Kidnapped and thrown into a place she's never seen. The Mafia.

Surviving a dangerous world of drugs, death, violence, and their leader.. Damien.

He's cold, dark, and heartless. He took her from her reality and made it his. She hates him... or at least that's what she thought.
