Adriano De Luca was not simple by any definitions of the word. He was a complicated, intelligent man who wanted nothing more than to change the past, and since time travel hasn't yet been invented, what better way than to reconnect with his childhood crush?

When Caroline's company gains the business of Adriano De Luca, the new CEO of Pharaoh Co. and her old childhood best friend, the once school nerd turned real-world genius, tries to capture the attention of the once school all-star athlete, an athlete who wants anything but a relationship.

The Mafia's Cop (Discontinued) by aaliyah_allie

She was the only cop who couldn't be on his pay check, and that was very rare in the mafia world. Especially for Xavier De Luca, the one who wasn't afraid of any one and the one who runed the mafia. Her life was no where close to exciting, living each day with the life that was set out for her. Adrianna didn't know what was coming her way, till she looked at the photo with the deep blue eyes looking back at her. After that it was never the same. ________________________________________________ Taking a step forward I went closer and smelt her minty breath. I could smell her bubblegum scent. I could finally touch her, reaching out I twirled a strand of her golden brown hair while she just looked into my eyes, lips parted and her breath laboured. With my other hand I touched her lips with my thumb, cherry lip balm. Putting my hands on her waist I could see she was holding on to her gun ready to fire. I smirked at this, my feisty girl. "You are mine kitten, I'm not letting you go ever." _________________________________________________ (mature read if you comfortable-violence/sexual content)

She thought she might just die right there from a heart attack, if Luca doesn't kill her first. All of a sudden, he smirked, "because from all the options of girls that were given to me, you stood out as the kind that I would enjoy to torture until I don't need to anymore." He let her go. "And, besides, I won't let you die this easily. I want to fill your life with unpleasantness before I decide if I want to take that pathetic life yours or not." That answer shattered Celeste's world into pieces. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Calestina Caro is an average girl. She's quiet and keeps to herself.

A literal nightmare in his work field. What makes his gang so dangerous? Him. Because he's the most feared and violent man known in the underworld. But her parents come bearing news, news that changes her life forever and that forever has something to do with Luca. **ALSO I WROTE THIS WHEN I WAS WAY TO GODDAMN YOUNG SO EXCUSE THE CHEESY LANGUAGE, WHEN YOU STUMBLE ACROSS THEM.
