It was like looking at an Angel. So divine and sacred. She surrounded herself with darkness. Like a somber cloak of sadness. Yet, in those few times that she smiled her sad eyes showed a glint of light that illuminated her entire being. I tried to get close to her, to show her that she wasn't alone in the world. But her heart was surrounded by the walls of Tartarus themselves. She was like a porcelain doll to me. So sensitive and fragile, only to be handled with care. That was Davina.

His Favorite Scar by CrystalWings-
22 parts Ongoing Mature
Nobody knew his last name, but they knew his name and also that he was the right hand of the most feared and powerful Mafia, not just in Russia, but in the entire world, and that was enough. With a Greek God like body, he had women throwing themselves at him and he made sure to enjoy every bit of the attention that he got, for he was no saint, he was a player! Apart from being the protagonist of every woman's wet dreams, he was also everything that a Mafia's right hand should have been. He was ruthless. He was cruel. He was a fucking killing machine! Everybody feared him and the only thing that he feared was...falling for his best friend's little sister. Scarlett Knight... She was your typical rich, spoiled brat. Growing up in a Mafia family, with an overprotective father and an equally overprotective brother, wasn't easy, but she learnt to live with it. With an innocent face and drop dead gorgeous figure, she knew, she turned heads wherever she went. Having seen enough bloodshed and violence all her life, her heart has turned cold, but the only time her heart warms up is...whenever she sees him. Her childhood crush. David... But too bad, he sees her only as his best friend's baby sister...or so she thought. Little did she know that...she was His Favorite Scar...imprinted, not just on his heart, but on his soul as well. A love story awaiting to bloom...a secret awaiting to destroy it. ••• Spin-off to "Loving The Russian Mafia" & "Scars On Her Soul" Can be read as a stand alone book, but I would suggest reading the above mentioned books first, to understand this one better.

"I know this is probably not making any sense," He stated, his voice full of emotion. "I'm afraid of letting someone in, of letting someone see who I actually am. I'm afraid of being hurt, of being rejected. I know it's not rational, but it's what I feel. I've been hurt to death, and I don't want to go through that again." He looked up at her, his eyes full of sadness and fear. She didn't know what to say. "I've tried so hard to stop myself from loving you," his voice, thick with emotions. "I've tried to keep you at arm's length, to protect myself from getting hurt. But I can't do it anymore. I just can't. I love you, and I don't know how to turn it off." He took a deep breath, and closed his eyes for a moment. When he opened them, he looked at her with a desperate, pleading look.
