"What do you want?" I ask the men standing in front of me. All of them are wearing black jackets with matching jeans and masks. Before my suit-clad form, they look heavily underdressed.

"We want what you have." They state simply, their guns pointed towards me as I stand there nonchalantly. My right hand is on my waistband, ready to pull out my weapon as I prepare for war.

"You can never have what I have. Who even told you I am here?" My eyebrows are drawn together and I know for a fact that this won't end well.

"That's none of your business. We want it at any cost or else, be ready to die." All of them walk towards me together. I pull out my gun, aiming between the eyes of the man who is the master of this ring. However, before I can pull the trigger, I feel a thud in my head. Blood seeps from my forehead as the man who was talking to me curses.

"Die, motherfucker." He pulls the trigger!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No one wants to be like me. I am ruthless, cruel, and unwanted. I am darkness embodied and in my dark world, there is no space for divinity. Love, happiness, and joy are alien terms to me because they don't belong to my side of the world. They belong to the brighter side- to Bella's world.

Bella is an innocent angel, blessedly unaware of the world that exists on the darker side. The world where virtues are vices and vices are virtues. But what will she do if she is made a part of the same world? Will she get suffocated and die, or will she survive and try?

Black eyes. Soulless. Unforgiving. Grey. Ice-cold, but just enough that I'm able to melt it. Both make me feel something. The matter was, which one out-weighed the other? Rule-bound, my life feels more like a cage than it ever has. I have no opportunity to use my fire and break out- heat can only do so much. And then like a fish out of water, I have to attach myself to this man- a man I know is dangerous. But so am I. The thing is, I don't know just how much. Only when he touches me, looks at me, talks to me even if his voice is laced with Russian poison.. that's when I realize just what agreement I've accorded with. It's a crippling touch of fire everytime he's near, and the most dangerous thing of all- even more than him, is the fact that I don't hate it. Stone is what I see when I look into his eyes. I wonder, is his heart made of it too? Nikolas Volkov When a bloody feud between the Russian Bratva and the Cosa Nostra ends with one outback- I'm forced to put myself in a position I have no other choice but to fulfill. With the Pakhan on my back, eyes everywhere mean complying is the only option. Only when the moment comes, is when I realize just what I've gotten myself into. She's.. indecipherable. I don't know what the hell this feeling is. I know it's not good. But my body tells me it's not bad, either. I try to stay away, but feeling her tremble and light like a switch underneath my touch when she's so used to staying upright, it awakens a dark, fulfilling part of me. My heart's made of stone. It always has been. So why do I feel it sway whenever she's near? 17+ Mafia Dark Romance *Standalone*

I barely make it a few steps before I feel his hand clamp down on my hair, yanking me back with terrifying force. "Going somewhere, little girl?" "P-please let g- ahh! Please! H-Hurts me!" "Afraid, are we now, baby?" His voice is a snarl now, filled with fury. "L-leave m-me," tears sting my eyes, but I refuse to let them fall. I'm scared of him, scared of what he'll do to my friend, scared of what he'll do to me. His grip on my hair tightens and I wince, choking back a sob. "Oh, why? Don't you like my hands on you, baby?" He mocks hurt that instantly turns back into anger. "But you were fine when that fucker touched you, ain't that right?" Then he pulls a silver knife out of his suit, twirling it lazily between his ink-covered knuckles and my blood freezes at the sight of that psychotic grin. ***** People quaked with fear at the sound of his name and me along with them. He was Demetrios 'the God' Nikolayev and he was first in command of Russian mafia. He was a true psychopath who enjoyed hurting people, and I hated him for that. The worst thing - he owned me. "Try to accept the darkness, because from now on, it will be your only light." I tried so hard, but I couldn't understand it back then. How possibly can darkness be light? ***** This is not a vanilla romance but a dark, toxic, perverted, obsessive story. The book contains mature themes such as foul language, bdsm, sexual and abusive content, kinks, blood, manipulation, etc. Please keep that in mind.
