{NOT UPDATING ANYMORE} (INCOMPLETE STORY)
She spent her whole life chasing after a guy, wanting love. Running after it. Desperately grasping at anything the man would give him, until he didn't. She was naive enough to think he loved her, so much so that she sold her life away. A contract, her life's undoing. She died on the streets of NYC; hungry, angry and remorseful.

But what happens when the universe gives her a second chance? Will she take her revenge? Will she hold onto opportunities she let go of in her past life?

Will she finally realise her worth? 

Read on to find out how Alessia learns to love herself before anyone else. 

Selfish or self love? you decide.

I ran downstairs in the living room to see all my brothers circling Nefeli who was looking for me desperately, in panic. Ah, I knew the scream could be heard and would make her worry too much. When we made eye contact she literally just jumped on me, almost suffocating me from how tight her hug was. I was taken aback for the first two seconds but then I hugged her back, not knowing what was happening. "Thank God you are safe!" she whispered in my ear, making me more confused than before. I looked over to my brothers who were equally unaware of what was happening, except Aiden and Alex who were motioning for me to wait. "Of course I am okay, Nefeli, what happened?" I asked worriedly. Seeing her like that makes my heart clench. I could not stand watching her in panic. "I heard Alex and Aiden talking about something in Italian and they said something about Mafia! We are being threatened by Mafia?!" she yelled in my face, tears ready to escape her chocolate brown eyes. Everyone exchanged looks and we could not help but burst into loud laughter as Nefeli was looking at us confused. "Love, we are not threatened by Mafia" Cole said after he calmed down.

Beautiful in Jada by KindaWerid

The strong pull to her. The desire to have something you never thought you would want again. A glance turned into an obsession. And he would stop at nothing to get her. He would do anything he could to keep her. He cared so much for only her Alessio Bucceri was a man who could have anything he ever wanted. Until he wanted that one thing to need him back. Circumstances run in his favor as the woman of his dreams landed into his domain. He would never let her go. A chance glance turned obsession. #1 BWWN! #1 Mafia [4/12/24] *Book excerpt* -- Her cheeks turned red, ever so slightly through her chocolate skin. Her skin looked and felt so smooth. She liked the compliments, the Italian flare. It ropes many women, but the way she looked at me with her big almond eyes had my mind racing and my body in overdrive. She was not immune to my charm, even in her current situation. Her hair was in a slick bun. I was sad not to be able to see the curls adorne her face. And yet she stared at me again, watching me like a dog. Curious gazes. It was fun to tease, and the response I got back over affirmed my teasing. She seemed more relaxed with me. She looked away from me. She stared out the window watching the street ride by. It was silent for a while as I texted my subordinates basic commands. Nothing conspicuous. "Alessio, where are you taking me," her voice piped up. Seems like it took her a while to muster up the courage. I loved her sweet voice when it spoke me me and when she said my name... It was such a turn-on. She wasn't supposed to really ask questions. I don't like lots of questions. I thought about the best way to respond but opted not to say anything at all. She was as stubborn as always, forgetful too. She scanned around me before huffing to herself and looking back out the window. -- Started 06/08/2023- 8/14/2023 Highest Rankings: #7 Arranged [4/26/24] #26 Older #1 Bwwm #13 Man #1 Mafia #1 lovetragedy #6 lovestory #5 Blackwomen

His obsession // editing by lillian_02

"What are you doing" I panted my eyes travelling towards his bee stung lips. "Tasting you" he said coming closer to bite my bottom lip. "And right now you taste too good to let go" ********* Aleena has always lived a safe life. she never wanted to enjoy the rush of danger and hadn't plan to, she had her life planned out for her the way she expected things to go. that was until her boyfriend decided to cheat on her, landing herself on a one way flight to Italy with Donatello, a notorious mobster. He was an unemotional, cocky, self- centred control freak, that let his rage get the best of him. after losing a bet in a game of poker, she was sent to Italy to keep his sister company to try and pay him back the money she owed. Until they both agree to play for her freedom. Donatello had no idea what he was thinking when he decided to play with Aleena. from the moment he saw those big round eyes he knew he had to keep her close no matter what. so when he decided to take her to Italy with him he knew it was a terrible idea. she was like a drug. a drug he wanted to taste. One he wanted to become addicted too. One he wanted nothing more but to keep all to himself. #2 empowerment #1 poker #1 mine #2 hot
