UNTIL DEATH ( Love should Never be this deathly ) by Rosiecheeks91

UNTIL DEATH ( LOVE SHOULD NEVER BE THIS DEATHLY ) Love is often described as a profound and pure connection shared between two soulmates, characterized by selflessness and a desire to bring joy to one another. It embodies the essence of putting the needs of your beloved above your own, creating a bond that feels both sacred and exhilarating. However, love can also take a darker turn, transforming into a dangerous obsession that blurs the lines between affection and possession. Imagine a promise to yourself that no one can take your beloved away, a vow that they are yours for eternity, regardless of the circumstances. This intense devotion can spiral into a lethal fixation, where any perceived threat to the relationship ignites a fierce protective instinct-one that could lead to tragic consequences. Rosa Andrew, a 24-year-old embodiment of beauty and kindness, whose free-spirited nature and captivating smile draw admirers like moths to a flame. However, her life takes an unforeseen turn when she unwittingly captures the attention of not one, but two ruthless and powerful mafia leaders-Vincent Salvatore and Massimo Rosario. Each is determined to claim her as their queen, swearing never to let her go. This unfolding drama raises the stakes: Who will emerge victorious in this battle for Rosa's heart? Will the consuming forces of love, obsession, and possession ultimately lead to destruction, engulfing all in their fiery grasp, or will Rosa find a way to navigate this perilous love triangle and safeguard her own future?
