Reclaiming Hearts
𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞 2 . . . 𝒞𝒶𝓃 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓇𝑒𝒸𝓁𝒶𝒾𝓂 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒽𝑒𝒶𝓇𝓉 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝑜𝓃𝒸𝑒 𝒷𝓇𝑜𝓀𝑒? Once a bright-eyed dreamer who believed in forever, Mila Young is now a woman who knows better than to chase fairytales. Seven years ago, Heath McConnell shattered her heart and walked away with a lesson she never wanted to learn: love hurts. Still wearing her heart on her sleeve, she hides the hurt behind her smiles, but she has made one promise to herself: never again will she let anyone have enough power to ruin her. So, when her past comes crashing back into her carefully built life, everything she tried so hard to forget comes rushing in. Yes, that's right. Heath is back... tall, brooding, still devastatingly handsome, and somehow even more impossible to ignore. Haunted by his mistakes and no longer the boy who walked away, he is now a powerful billionaire and her new boss. Their history is painful. Their chemistry is unforgettable. Mila wants to hate him. She really does. But one look at him has her heart flooding with memories she believed were long buried deep, and everything about him reignites the flames, especially when Heath claims he has changed and has only one mission in mind: to win her back, no matter how long it takes. She wonders if she can resist him, but the bigger question remains: can she trust the man who once destroyed her heart? As old wounds reopen and buried emotions resurface, can they find their way back to each other? Or will the pain of yesterday be stronger than the love they still hold? A second chance awaits, but only if Mila and Heath can prove that some hearts are meant to find each other twice.![Marcellius Fierri [Book #1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/273234493-256-k428449.jpg)

His Treasure | ✔
Lux has a past that she avoids at all costs. He did this to her. He made her the way she is. Axel, the next in line for the Thanos-Romano Family Don title, has fallen for her since he first set eyes on her. But the business is too dangerous for his precious freckles. They have been friends for years and Axel finally decides to make a move. But it seems that the universe is against them because Lux's past comes back to haunt and Axel's job makes things difficult in the form of an old enemy. While battling for happiness, a little surprise comes along. This is book two to the Mafia Duet. I recommend reading 'Guns and Roses' first because this book contains some spoilers. WARNING: 18+ Mature scenes and language. _________________________________________ EXCERPT: It wasn't until the movie ended when Lux's first whimper sounded out. Her arms tightened around mine and she pressed her face into my bicep. Her legs started to kick and she whispered out, "No, per favore. (No, please.)" Her nails started to dig into my skin, so I placed a hand to her cheek to calm her. That was the wrong move because she swung out and screamed, "Scappa! Lasciami solo! (Get away! Leave me alone!)" Her eyes were squeezed shut as she thrashed around in the bed. I gently took her wrists in my hand so she didn't hurt herself and I straddled her legs, without putting any weight, so I hovered over her. "Calm down, tesoro. (treasure.)" I placed my free hand back on her cheek and wiped away the flowing tears with my thumb. She was breathing heavy and I kissed her forehead comfortingly. "Non preoccuparti, tesoro. Ti proteggerò, (Don't worry, treasure. I'll protect you,)" I whispered to her as I brushed her hair back with my hand. _________________________________________ Start: October 5, 2018 End: August 23, 2019 Copyrighted 2019Lengkap

Forever Mine: Her First And Last Love
He was her first heartbreak... and her last obsession. She is childish. He is mature. She is clumsy. He is calm. She is chaos. He is peace. She is silly dreams. He is steady reality. He's my best friend's brother. He understands me too well... which is embarrassing, because he's also caught me sighting and drooling over him more than once. "Stop staring," he says with that smirk-like it's that easy. She's clumsy, always tripping over something-and making me laugh every time. She talks too much, listens even more, and somehow became my free therapist without even realizing it. "Don't ever change," I tell her, because her chaos feels like peace to me. ~♡~ 1.comedy out of 205k stories 1.firstlove out of 35k stories. 1.bestfriendsbrother out of 3.8k stories 1.cutecouple out of 3.55k storiesLengkap![Luciano Fierri [Book #3]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/281718913-256-k133575.jpg)

The madness and craziness in his eyes only made more tears stream down my cheeks. He was a complete psychopath. "Don't close those pretty eyes when I am making love with you, amore. Look at me, your husband." He rasped out and pounded inside me again, sending a painful jolt throughout my body. When was this going to finally end? I can't take this agonizing torture anymore. Tears blurred my hazy vision and a strangling sound left my throat when Elliott wrapped his hand around my throat. He was choking me mercilessly. I gasped for air and begged him to let me go but like always, he never did. He will never let me go. He leaned down and pressed a tender kiss on my jaw before we both came at the same time, as he filled my insides. I thought maybe this was the end, but he had other plans.
