Robberies and Roses

this entire story is credited to a writing prompt I found on the tik tok account @/itsyaboyrunzo !!

Aurora McLoughlin; the smartest woman on the scum filled streets in which she walked, a genius both logically and criminally. She was the queen of the scummy streets of Greenaway, the most feared boss in all of America, the one woman in the world that everybody was truly afraid of.

Harlowe Salvatore; the most feared man in the world, known for his ability to pick any lock, manipulate anyone he encountered, and his seemingly endless capability to torture those who crossed him.

Their paths hadn't crossed in years; Aurora hadn't heard a word from him or heard anything of him from her staff, hadn't thought about him or anything of him since they'd broken up junior year and she moved from Brighton, England to Manhattan, where she built a city up from nothing and did so with just her bare hands.

Harlowe, however? Tabs were kept on her by himself and his righthand, and he had Auroras name on the 'hurt them and die' list, a list that he used and made global to keep those he loved safe, away from the sick minds of those who might think to hurt them.

What happens when Aurora learns that her name is on this list? Will she set out to kill Harlowe, or will she set out to find and thank him for protecting her for so long?
