"Always be a better person, not for others but yourself"

My tearful eyes slowly looked up to meet the familiar blue orbs of the man I was glad to call my love. Eyes where I thought would be filled with disgust and disappointment at my sudden revelation were instead reflecting the same love and pride I never thought I would receive from anyone.


**************


Regina Jones is the most determined and independent person you could ever meet. She is never a patient lady and this meant there is only a certain amount of bullshit she can take from anyone. Unsocial and intimidating she seemed to everyone but under all that hard exterior was a kind,  compassionate and lovable person that only a few people have the benefit of seeing.

Unfortunately, her intimidating aspect is what usually sent all the potential young men running for the hills, that is until she meets the handsome, funny and easy going  Alessio Barbieri. He was the type of  man admired by many,  and his maturity, pleasant charm and caring attitude made him the lover most women would want to have but Regina seemed to be an exception.

And not because she wasn't attracted to him but because of something that kept holding her back. A secret she had long held within her that could possibly break the strong friendship and relationship she currently had with those around her.

The Multiples by bunnybluewriter

At lightning speed I threw open the covers of the bed , checking for any trace of missing clothing ; Every ounce of my fiber, of my being was yelling at me to get out of here ,to run as fast as I could and never look back. I guess in a way , it serves me right for being here again. I was weak. I was too weak to even stand. Watching all the eyes in the room fall on me and my shaking hand , I almost hesitated. But I didn't think. And that's the problem. **** Olivia Davis was no ordinary preppy teenage girl living off of her father's fame and fortune. Living from one shopping spree to the next , riding the best and newest car. Infact , she was the exact opposite of who her father wanted as the princess of his multi billionaire company. She was loud . Cold. And had an attitude that would put her grandmother to shame . She was nothing anyone expected from someone who graduated high school with honours . So what if her graduation gift was the news that she has a fiancé ? Not one . But TWO ! None of which she had a say in what so ever . But they say that two is better than one right? *started 18 June 2019* *finished 26 March 2020* *edited 9 April 2020*

Mio Re. * In attempts to protect my only family, I pushed the love of my life away. It killed me, but I knew it killed him more. Now that I see him again, all the love and pain is rushing back and I can't stop it. He's not the man I once loved. I barely recognize this lifeless body that is somehow living. I broke him. I killed him. And I regret it. * A lot happens in four years. People change, circumstances change, feelings change, lovers change, but one thing remains the same. First love and pain.

Ticket to Verona by Elliee_writes

{MAFIA ROMANCE} "You, Aria, are like a piece of music that I could listen to, over and over again, and never get tired of hearing." Aria Remington was sitting alone in an empty airport gate waiting for her flight home when she first met Leonardo. Little did she know what she was getting herself into. Leonardo Romano is the Capo of the Italian mafia and never shows any emotion, weakness or care in anyone. Until he met her. But was he selfish enough to bring her into his world? ~~~ {excerpt} Aria. She was here. Right here. She didn't hear me come through the door, too engrossed in the book she was reading. I could hear her humming along to a song, similar to the way we first met. I walked right up to the desk, a gentle smile on my face. She still hadn't realised that I was there so I cleared my throat. "Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry, how can I help-" she looked up and she froze. Once it had sunk in, she smiled the biggest smile I have ever seen. "Leo!" She leaned over the desk and tried to give me a hug but because I was so tall, she only ended up hugging my torso.

Guns and Roses | ✔ by Trina_K

(Original Version) My cousin and I are the only true bloods left in the Thanos Family. I'm eighteen now and my absent father decided to finally take responsibility of having another child. Moving from New York to California wasn't the hard part. The hard part was trying to find the ones who murdered my mother and my grandparents, pretending to be a normal high schooler, and along with that, fighting my feelings for one of my brother's best friends. Didn't I mention that I am also going to be the new Don of our West Coast Empire? I am Gaiana Kallisto Thanos, Mafia Princess, and the best fucking fighter there is. This is book one of the Mafia Duet. WARNING: 18+ Mature scenes and language. _________________________________________ EXCERPT: "I only give respect to those who deserve it, and the only one in this room that deserves it is Alex. Plus you can't call me a slut when you are the one who loves to constantly have her bed warmed with partners. I'm the one in a stable relationship." She gave a smirk. "You sure about that," she asked. She took her phone out and showed me a photo of Luca dressed in what he wore today, escorting Stephany into the passenger seat of his car. I felt my heart drop to my stomach but didn't outwardly show it. Years of being able to turn off my emotions come in handy. "Well there goes that." I looked into her eyes. "What? Did you expect me to drop to the floor and cry? Honey, you don't know me. And you never will because I'm moving out." I looked at my father and said, "It was nice meeting you but I'm good. I'll pack my stuff and be out by tonight." _________________________________________ Start: March 30, 2018 End: August 31, 2018 Copyrighted 2018

Choosing Jada [Book 2] by KindaWerid

A dead woman walking would make anyone do a double take. She never thought she would see him again. He never thought she could have survived. More questions left than answers Jada and Alessio must finally work together. Nothing was right in the world without Jada in it and now nothing was right with her in it either. Book Excerpt: "Where are you trying to take me? You snagged us up, but where are we going," She asked pointedly. "To my grandparent's home." "That's a terrible idea. We need a safe place to go, not somewhere so obvious." "My grandfather knows important people. Trust me, he's the safest place in Italy we could be." "No, I won't just blindly follow your lead. I won't risk my sons life on something like that." "And where would you go? How would you be any safer? If it wasn't for me, our son would be long gone. You have no resources. You have nothing. Somehow, I am the bad guy!" "Yes you're the fucking bad guy, you can't trip me into marriage and then putting me through hell as I tried my best to survive. You're the bad guy because I never agree to be with a criminal master mind or whatever you do. I have no idea. I don't know anything about you. I was cheated on and lied to just as much. Don't go blaming your hurt feelings all on me. You started this. You are the reason. I'm finally reacting to the way you treated me! I was delusional, scared, and confused. You isolated me from my people. I wasn't okay. I've been ripped from the life I knew!" [In Progress 4/19/24- ] Rankings #118 Man #44 deathandlife #5 lovetragedy

Vita Mia by bellahopemyllove

~>"I like to believe my thorns were once flowers."<~ ~*+*~ Arabella Karve has learned to keep everyone away. To lock them out, and make them believe that she is the heartless daughter of the worst man alive. No one has ever taught her what it is like to be loved. This is until she meets Eros Vandare. A deadly assassin from Italy is hired to protect the heir to the throne of the mafia. He is a monster, and everyone knows it. He is incapable of love. Until he meets Arabella Karve, the girl he was hired to protect, and he realizes what it means to be alive. What it means to love. ~*+*~ "You don't have to come up here every night if you don't want to." I mumble, my eyes fluttering shut. I never want to force him to come lay with me if he doesn't want to, if it makes him uncomfortable. His arms tighten around me. "I know I don't have to." His chest rumbles against me, the feeling vibrating within every bone in my body, "and I probably shouldn't." Disappointment floods my senses and I take a shallow breath, "probably not." "But I am." "Why?" I whisper softly. I tilt my head to look up at him, my eyes meeting his. He gently brushes a a piece of hair out of my face. "Because I'm fucking selfish and I need you, regardless of what I should or shouldn't do." ~*+*~ **in the process of being edited<3**

His finger trailed up my thigh ever so gently causing my pussy complete torture. He knew what he was doing. He knew this was driving me completely crazy. Just as his fingers were trying to push past my underwear my hand grabbed onto his wrist. "Don't," I warned, in a low voice making sure nobody would notice. "Watch me fuck you in front of every single person here unless Tobias stops looking at you like that." He explained. I glanced over to Tobias who was looking angrier than ever. If Tobias didn't stop looking at me not only would my husband keep to his word, someone would send a bullet through his skull. *+*+* Scarlett Salvadore was to be married to a man she hated with all her heart to increase her father's power. Aleksander Petrov was to be married to a woman he hated with all his heart to make amends with some of the Italian mafia. When the two of them meet at a club without knowing their identities they are immediately drawn to each other. What will happen when the two of them discover each other's identity? Will it grow the passion they have for each other or will their families history destroy it? *+*+* "I hope you realize that you belong to me now. In fact, you've always belonged to me, before and after the wedding ring on that finger of yours." I rolled my eyes at his words, still not forgetting the things he said to me before. "I'm just as much yours as you are mine, and don't you forget it, Aleksander." I snapped, pointing at his hard chest. "Prove it." A smirk appeared on my lips. Men in the mafia always use their wives for sex. But why can't it be the women using their husband's? *+*+* Far from a cliché Started: Thursday 26th August 2021 Finished: Monday 15th August 2022 RANKINGS: 11 in Lust 6 in Italian 1 in Strong Language 1 in explicit
