He seemed like the devil.
He was evil.
Cruel.
She was always portrayed as a weapon. 
A tool. 
An occasional use. 
One wrong turn -literally- and everything changes.
What happens when she finally decides to stand up for herself? The once known 'shy' assassin is now a runaway killer. 
Will she be able to protect the people she loves while fighting for her title? That arrogant and dangerous man, Zion Armani, who has a past trailing to hers...They meet again. 
Forgiveness is a difficult concept. 
Two broken souls from two different sides.
Many failed attempts, many murderous frenzies, and many unretrievable mistakes.
Her concept of life is far-fetched compared to others, one of the many things that makes her so human and so real, even if she was taught to refuse it. 
Could she battle the wars in the underground world while an addicting man fought against her?

A chase?
Not necessarily. 
Will she find a reason to keep going? 
Will Zhara Di Maggio find something --or someone-- to believe in?
Will the Golden Raven prove her fate wrong and find her own reason to live? 
 
~~~
Zion Armani, even the darkest hide from his shadows.
Zhara Di Maggio, the only brightness left.



"You know how to live, you're just too scared to do it."

He is a force to be reckoned with. A lift of his finger & people are beheaded in seconds. A word from him & the streets of NY are bathed in blood. Any evil deed, you name it & he has done it. Vicious, nefarious, brutal & downright cruel. Majestic in every sense of the word. A beautiful disaster. A criminal mastermind. The undisputed lord of the crime world. No one with a beating heart & blood still pumping in their veins lives to tell the story after crossing him. Even Satan is afraid of being compared to him. He has everything a man dreams of & is everything a woman desires. She is a ball of sunshine. Not afraid to speak her mind. A ray of happiness & positivity. Brightening up everyone's day on her way, even the man on a verge of death. Always so full of energy. The spark in her perents' eyes & the smile on her friends' lips. The embodiment of beauty with brains. Exquisiteness in its truest form. Innocent, naive but not scared of anyone. Sometimes a bit stupid but not gullible. She has everything a woman envies of & is everything a man desires. Or so they thought until... For him, she is a mirage. An unending pool of light in his dark world made up by his illusional mind which he didn't even know he craved before she came along. Just in this case, his mirage is adamant on quenching his thirst & he too won't let it go unless he redeems himself in her sanctity. For her, he is an enigma. A puzzle who has hidden his own pieces. A riddle no one dares to solve. A mystery yet to unfold. Dark clouds surround him. Hiding his emotions under their shadow that are craving her light desperately. Forces trying to separate them are endless. But if together, their love can conquer the world. An inevitable phenomenon is what they are. A love so intense comes only in ages that has the ability to defame even Shakespeare & it'll be a shame to the Gods if they didn't make them the endgame. Because, Lord help! They will raise hell if they do not end up together.

June, 2, 2024: #1 in Action-Romance "If you choose to leave, I won't stop you cause I know that would be a sensible decision." He moved even closer to her, encircling her in his arms, her eyes shut at the electrifying sensation that enveloped her, "But I hope you'll stay." He whispered in her ears. A lone tear escaped her eye as she heard his pain stricken words. "I am scared" She confessed, her voice trembling. "I will never let anything happen to you." He assured her, caressing her cheeks. Silence settled upon the room as their gazes remained locked and he leaned forward, placing his lips gently upon her's. An unknown warmth filled her body and instinctively her arms wrapped around his neck, drawing him closer. He reciprocated, pulling her body closer to his and deepening the kiss. He kissed her like there was no tomorrow - passionately. Only when their breaths became ragged did he finally release her, resting his head against hers. The only sound that resonated in the room was of their heavy breaths until Scarlett whispered, "I'll never leave." ___________________________________________ Markus Hayes, A man you don't want to be up against. A man who can be both - Your good dreams or worst nightmare. And a man who is a successful businessman with secrets that only a few know. Scarlett Jones, A soft playful woman. A woman who has recently completed her studies and is now in search of a reputable job. What happens when Markus' secretary goes on her pregnancy leave and Scarlett becomes his substitute assistant ? What happens when she develops a tiny crush on her boss ? And what happens when his past catches up with him endangering the lives of those he loves ? Will they still be together or will they fall apart ? READ TO KNOW It's a sequel to BLEEDING but can be read standalone.

Raised in the Mafia, I have known no other life other than cold calculated violence and discipline. A life where brutality is praised and weakness is ridiculed, I became the best of my parents and the worst the world has ever seen. Young and still gaining control of my mafia, love is never an option for me, that is until one night at a Mafia ball where I spy a woman who has me to my knees. I want more, more, more. She's reckless and cunningly beautiful. Too good for me and yet the only one for me. We fight for survival and for each other because neither one of us will let go. ------------------------- I sat in the back, legs apart and looked at her with my head tilted. She licked her lips and squeezed though the front seats all the while looking at me. I pulled her towards me and she chuckled as she sat on my lap. Her legs were either side of me and her breathing was ragged. I ran my hand down her cheek and pulled her into me. I kissed her lips and soon our tongues whirled around. Hungry and rough. She held her head back and I began to plant rough kisses onto her beautiful neck. "Am I a bad influence?" She breathed. Her hands were on the back of my neck. I stopped kissing her and looked up at her. "Everyone needs a little bad in their lives." I whispered back making her smile. My hands found her waist and I noticed her short dress had ridden up exposing her thighs. She wore it to tease me and I loved it. Fuck, I loved her body. She breathed into my neck and I pulled off her dress in one slick motion. My hands were all over her back, feeling her, touching her. Her soft skin drove me crazy. ------------------------- BE AWARE: Trigger warnings: MATURE CONTENT 18+ (SMUT) SWEARING VIOLENCE/GUN VIOLENCE SELF HARM/SUICIDE (REFERENCES) EXPLICIT LANGUAGE REFERENCES TO RAPE SMOKING/ALCOHOL/DRUGS BLOOD/DEATH/GORE ©️ All rights reserved ™️ The Walnut Tree BOOK TWO OF THE MAFIA SERIES

UNEDITED WATTPAD VERSION! (This is the arguably rubbish version, ye be warned.) Includes a sample of the published version as well *** Life would be so much easier if he wasn't around, but even I couldn't deny that my life seemed to truly begin since his arrival. Had Lucifer truly been kicked out of heaven because of his own cravings for power, or had he fled after realizing his true happiness lied elsewhere, in a darker atmosphere? In this world, there is strictly no good or bad, no clear right or wrong. We make poor decisions, hoping it will prove worthy in the end. When it does, we never look back, but when it doesn't, it tears us apart like ravaged hell hounds. Perhaps we're all the product of Lucifer and God alike. Born from beauty only to fall to desire. *** When young baker Rosaria Castellanos is offered a chance to pay her parent's debts to the infamous Romano mafia family by a simple favor, she takes it in a heartbeat. Everyone expected a happy italian wedding, with too much wine to handle and lots of singing. Cater pastries, and don't die? Sounds easy enough. Nobody expected her to catch the eye of the young boss, Giovanni Romano, nicknamed 'The King of New York' for good reason. Unknowingly bound to the mafia by birthright, introduced by a dangerous love, Rosaria's identity will soon be forged. An unlikely heroine, imperfect and anxious, must grow through struggles and gang violence to save those around her. In even the darkest of places, love can bloom. Perhaps even in the mafia. - Side note: Warning: mature sexual scenes, swearing, violence ✨Milestones ✨ Featured on Wattpad's Dangerouslove profile #3 in Thrill -9/7/20 #32 in Mature -9/7/20 #42 in Mafia -3/10/20 #45 in Love -9/7/20 ~ Dates ~ WP Start: October 19th 2019 Finished: December 1st 2020 Published: February 14th 2021

After her mother's unexpected death, Amélie hasn't been the same, and neither has her father. In hopes of making her parents proud, Amélie has been determined to prove her worth of becoming the next mafia leader, to her father, by becoming the world renowned assassin "La mère de la mort" [The Mother of Death]. However, when she is deemed as an unworthy disappointment by her father, who will she seek comfort and reassurance from? Who will help heal the scars that mark her heart? Romeo Angelo Basilio is the leader of the Italian Mafia (the largest and most powerful mafia there is). He is known as the most incomprehensible, cold-hearted killer, who shows no mercy nor love except to his sisters. When Romeo's mother died (when he was 13) at the hands of his father, Romeo swore that he'd never let anyone love him if love was as tragic as his parents made it seem to be. Without his mother or an acceptable father figure, Romeo had to step-up and become the leading father figure in his four younger sister's lives. But when he feels as though he is a worthless entity, who will he seek comfort and reassurance from? Who will help heal the scars that mark his heart? Will an arranged marriage be the answer to all their problems? Will they find love through this arrangement? Will they help each other heal from their past?

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗮 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲. I never thought my world would crumble at the hands of a man like Alessandro Rossi-a 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 draped in silk suits and ruthlessness. One moment, I was Yasenia Fraga, daughter of the powerful Galician mafia Don Juan Fraga, and the next, I was dragged into a war I never asked for. Alessandro didn't just kidnap me, he aggressively took over my life. He ripped me from my peaceful life and thrust me into his darkness, forcing me to marry him to secure his family's grip on my father's territory. To him, I'm nothing more than a bargaining chip, a way to tighten his stranglehold on Galicia. But Alessandro doesn't realize that breaking me will cost him more than he expects. Under all that cruelty lies a sick obsession, one that seeps into every look, every touch, every promise of destruction. He's ruthless, controlling, and heartless, yet something darker stirs between us, something neither of us can deny. In his world, love doesn't exist, only power. And if I want to survive, I'll have to decide if I'll fight him, or let myself be consumed by him. Because one thing is clear-whether I want it or not, I am his. And in his eyes, I always will be. 🔞 #1 - mafiaboss #1 - guns #1 - secrets #5 - forcedmarriage #10 - enemiestolovers #7 - possessive #13 - drama #2 - guns
