Gus's Possession by storiesforme777

Francine Greene is your average girl. Average face, average body and a fairly average life. She lives in a small quaint town in Italy, going to college and running an old cafe with her best friend. All is well until one night two strangers with guns walk into their cafe. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You did this Gustavo!" she screamed, unable to contain her wavering voice and stray tears. He stayed quiet, furrowing his brows as he looked down at his desk. "I did this?" he lowly asked. Her breath came in sharp and uneven as she ran a shaky hand through her thick hair. "Yeah," she replied breathlessly, her chest rising and falling with each ragged breath. He nodded, shoving his hands into his pockets. "I pursued you?" he asked. "Well...no," she admitted softly, her gaze dropping to the floor. "I asked you out?" he pressed, his tone demanding. "No..." she said, her breathing beginning to steady. "Did I ask you to go anywhere fucking near me?" he angrily said, biting out every word through gritted teeth. He slowly walked towards her, fury in his eyes as he stared down at her. She stumbled back, hitting the door with a muted thud. "No, Gustavo," she whispered, her voice barely audible. He looked upon her like a venomous snake. Franny, with her back pressed against the smooth wooden door, couldn't meet his unyielding gaze. Gustavo placed his hands flat against the door, his fingers splayed wide. He leaned in close, his cool breath sending shivers down her spine. "You could've known who I was from the start, Franny," he said softly, his voice carrying a dangerous edge, "and you'd still be standing right here." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ **ONGOING** **Updated Weekly** **Dark Content**

(BOOK 1 OF MAFIA LOVE SERIES) [COMPLETED & EDITING] * "Arie," he whispered, his smile dropping as he closed the distance between us. "I'm sor..." My right hand met his left cheek brutally, stopping all that he had to say. "How dare you?" I hissed, landing another smack on the same spot. "How could you do this to me?" I raised my hand up again to place another one, but he caught my wrist before I could do so. "Plan your next move very carefully," he spoke in a low, belligerent tone tightening his grip on my wrist, daring me to slap him again. Pain jolted from the area, forcing tears to sting at the corner of my eyes. "Or what?" I scowled at him. "You don't want to find out." He took a step closer, staring into my eyes. "And don't tempt me!" * Today was the day it all started. Everything began to fall apart. It twisted me, threw me against the wall, and ripped my sanity and innocence to shreds. I never thought I'd go through it, but there I was in the middle of it all.
