Love

a word thrown around carelessly. 

A word that has become overused. One that's lost its meaning, when all you've got to show for it is an empty pit of broken promises.  

I've never been good at it. I've never wanted it. To me it was an empty word, filled with lies and hurtful memories. 

That was what I told myself. That I didn't need it. That it wouldn't do me any good. Until I met him. Alec fucking Russo. 

The man who single handedly dismantled my realty. But will love be enough to withstand the undeniable force of revenge? 


________________________________________________


Alec and Valentina were two unconventional souls. To the looking eye, they couldn't be more different. They have nothing in common. And besides the occasional loss of control, there's nothing more they hate more then each-other. That is until the unexpected happened. 

The saying opposites attract, goes without saying when it comes to these two. But  what'll happen when the the secrets they hold can no longer live in the past? What happens when they're forced to become allies? Can revenge really build the bridge that leads to love? Or will their secrets dismantle what they've built?

College? No, this was paradise. Three years filled with partying, not so secret underground drug-deals, and hot-headed men sliding into beds like snakes with no self-control. Things were different now. I wasn't that perfect, frill-wearing angel Mama thought would walk into the house ring-beared. So many things had changed, except for one. Him. He was a disease, one I couldn't get rid of no matter how hard I tried. Everytime he's near, I feel myself turn into something I've never seen before. Like there's something under my skin only he is capable of bringing out. He's manipulative, twisted, and completely wrong in every way. I hate him. Yet every night, from miles away, I find him in my dreams. Mikhail Volkov Fuck the patriarchy. Better yet, fuck everything and everyone. It was a game of cat and mouse, me chasing victories every single day. The Bratva's constant want for war was what kept the fuel in my blood, burning up into flames whenever my knuckles made contact with another opponent. In the end, I'm always the one left standing. This fire in my bones, I feel it burst into flames while every dark memory, thought and desire runs into my fists. So many medals, but only the people around me could see them. The real battle was against my head. And maybe, just maybe, I was afraid to admit that I had no chance in winning it. She makes it harder. An angel with wings to everyone else, yet a master at unveiling those devil's horns only when I'm near. There's this darkness, this fire, in the both of us. The only difference is, she's better at hiding it. She was gone, far away, yet there was this tether dowsed in fuel connecting us, one that only lit up when she came back. Every time she's near, I feel the limits surrounding my wrath being tested. Then again, rules are only made to be broken, right? Mafia Dark Romance *Standalone*

"I forced a smile, cool and poised. "Glad to know you're keeping track of my entrances now," I said, my tone light but edged. Luciano tilted his head, his smirk deepening. "Hard not to," he replied smoothly. "You do have a way of... demanding attention." I took a small step closer, the red of my gown catching the light between us like a warning flare. "Careful," I said softly, my gaze unwavering. "You might start sounding like you actually admire me." He chuckled under his breath - low and dangerous - before leaning in just enough for only me to hear. "Don't flatter yourself, Valentina," he murmured. "You really think wearing red makes you bold? It just makes you look desperate to be seen" he scoffs Luciano Romano was born into power - sculpted by expectation, sharpened by loss, and taught that mercy was weakness. After his father's death, he inherited not just the empire, but the ghosts that came with it. Cold, controlled, and terrifyingly precise, he rules with quiet authority and iron restraint. To the world, he's untouchable - the perfect heir. To those who know him, he's a man trapped between duty and the shadows of his own making. He doesn't love. He commands. Until her. Valentina DeLuca was never meant to be a pawn. Raised in a rival mafia family, she learned how to survive in a world built by men who mistake silence for obedience. Behind her beauty lies fire - sharp, cunning, and impossible to cage. When her marriage to Luciano seals the alliance between their families, she enters his world not as a bride, but as a weapon wrapped in silk. She refuses to kneel. He refuses to break. And yet, when fire meets stone, something has to give. What begins as an arrangement born of strategy becomes a dangerous dance between two people who should have been enemies - but instead find themselves drawn to the one person powerful enough to destroy them both.

"Smoking is bad for you," he husks next to my ear, squeezing the flesh of my hips before he lets me go and quits the butt of the cigarette with his shoe. With a swift motion I turn the tables, pressing him against the wall this time. My forearm on his throat, holding the tall man in place. I have to throw my head back to look him in the eyes and I have no idea where I've got the courage from, but my temper gets the best of me as I have enough of his games. "You know what's bad for you, darling? Taking me by 120 million dollars." His head dips down to mine, hovering over me. My stomach flutters, and my knees are getting weak from the simple gesture. "Sucks to get a taste of your own medicine, no, love?" He murmers, scanning my face. "You know, you could make all of this stop. Just say the words." His hot breath is fanning over my face as he whispers the next words: "Say you're sorry. 'I'm sorry, sir'. Three words and this war is over." .•● ✧ ●•.
