Previously known as His Innocent Angel
(n.) the journey of changing one's mind, heart, self, or way of life
𝐋𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐊 is the most sweetest girl you will ever meet. The tears of sadness are rare since she is always filled with happiness inside of her. She's innocent, beautiful, and let's just say she's a bit naïve when it comes to people. She masks her brokenness with her angel face. But she could only see goodness in people such as the devil himself. The darkness that surrounds him drew her to him.
𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐎 𝐂𝐎𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐎 is the most and when I say most I mean the most dangerous man out there. You will rarely ever see a smile or a teardrop but only a grin when blood is spilled. He's heartless, cold-headed, and a bit cocky when it comes to business. On the streets, they call him the il diavolo (the devil). Now falling head over heels for a woman wasn't even a thought in his head. Her happiness, a breath of fresh air made him fall for her.
Will Lily's past make it hard for her and Matteo's relationship?

When morbidity finds beauty, and corrupts it. When beauty, for its ruinous reasons, lets it. She was twelve when she first saw him ━ golden-eyed, kind-hearted, and utterly untouchable. He was twenty-one when he first met her ━ a lonely girl with too much yearning in her eyes. Years passed, seasons changed, but one truth remained: he was never meant to be hers. 𝐂𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐍 𝐎'𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐀 was a man with secrets ━ dangerous ones. Running from his past, he built a quiet life in a small Irish town, far from the shadows that once owned him. But he never expected her, 𝐀𝐈𝐒𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐔𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐀𝐍, a girl with wide eyes and too much heart, who kept returning to his bakery, day after day, year after year. She wanted him. But he knew better. Or so he thought. Until the past came knocking. ╋━━━━━ 𝐜𝐰 : NO PEDOPHILIA !!! 𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐬 : age gap, irish mafia, 1970s, love at first sightComplete

Aurora
"Matteo." she whispered, her eyes flitting down for a second to his lips. "My pretty little baby." He touched his thumb to her bottom lip, gently caressing them. "Pretty little vixen trying out seduction, hmm?" Oh my. He hated everyone. Every little thing he came across he hated. He was a cold person, who shut off every type of emotion one could feel. Until one small encounter at the park in the middle of the night with one heck of a strange girl. One strange girl, who managed to do something he never thought would ever happen to him. A strange girl who turned him into someone who he never thought he could be. Her name was Aurora.

Sugar & Sin | ✔
"Morning, Mr. Serious," I say now, setting his usual cup on the table. I add two sugar packets because I can't help myself. He never uses them. He never even looks at them. But I like the idea of them sitting there, taunting him with sweetness. His eyes flick up to mine - stormy gray, the kind that make you feel like you're under interrogation for a crime you don't remember committing. "You should stop doing that." His voice is low, accented, like gravel dragged across velvet. Russian maybe? Or Italian. Or both. Either way, it does unholy things to my stomach. "Doing what?" I ask innocently, sliding the sugar closer to his hand. "That." His gaze drops to the packets. "I don't take sugar." I grin, all sunshine and sass. "You don't know that. Maybe one day you'll wake up and realize life's better with a little sweetness." ●・○・●・○・● Rafael Volkov doesn't do small talk. Or smiles. Or sugar in his coffee. As the mafia's underboss, he's built a reputation on silence, sharp suits, and an expression that could curdle milk. So of course, Lila Parker makes it her mission to crack him. The sunny diner waitress insists on slipping him extra sugar packets, calling him "Mr. Serious" behind the counter, and treating him like a normal guy instead of a walking red flag. He tells her to stop. She doesn't. He growls. She grins. And suddenly, his late-night coffee runs feel less like routine and more like... something he shouldn't want. The problem? In his world, affection is dangerous. Smiles get noticed. Weaknesses get used. And if Lila isn't careful, her little act of kindness might just paint a target on her back. Rafael swore he didn't have a sweet tooth. Turns out he was wrong. ●・○・●・○・● Word Count: 37,478Complete

Butter,Sugar, blood
She is all warmth - curls in a high puff, glossed lips, flour on her apron, and a voice that carries. Her bakery is her world, filled with golden light and old people who call her "sweetheart." But she's lonely. She hides it behind laughter, behind playlists and pastries and hustle. This is her dream, but it's hard doing it alone in a city that doesn't wait for anyone. He is part of something dark - mafia blood, high-ranking, feared. The kind of man who speaks in low tones, wears all-black even in summer, and carries his trauma like a shadow. He's never wanted softness. He doesn't even like sweets. But something about her got under his skin - her laugh, her voice, the way she's alive when he hasn't felt anything in years. Now he comes to her bakery. Every day. Same table. Same order. Watching. Waiting. At first, he just needed a place to hide. Then he needed to see her. And now? He needs her like a sin he can't confess.
In The Ring Of Love
He looks like he might close the space between us. He looks like he wants to. My brain supplies a dozen sane exits. My body refuses every one. He looks as if he might kiss me. So I do something- exactly the kind of crazy I'm proud of but later I regret. I bite him right on the shoulder. He's in a tank, and my teeth definitely sink in. "What the hell?" he jerks back with a sharp laugh, stumbling slightly. "Did you just bite me?" "I panicked!" I defend, a little too quickly. "You don't have to mark me when I'm already yours, Swan." he says. Excuse me? "What!?" I blink, nearly tripping over my own foot. "What did you just say?" He shrugs, all cool and composed, "I'm already yours." he repeats, like it's nothing. Like it's not the verbal equivalent of a punch to the stomach and a kiss to the soul. My jaw drops. "Are you- are you okay?" "Perfectly," he says, then taps his shoulder. "Just sore though." ✧𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫.✧ ✩Amara Fontaine, a 24 year old ballerina.

Heavenly Sins Series #1: Ruled by Fire
My life before was just like my name, Haven. Everything was peaceful, everything went my way, and I had everything that I needed. If I wanted something, I'd have it in a snap. I didn't need to move, make an effort, or work for it. I just needed my daddy's tiny rectangular card that might look insignificant but carried the world on its little sharp edges. Money might not equate to happiness, but it certainly made life easier for me. And yet a year later, from heaven I was dropped into my version of hell. Now, I'm standing in the aisle of a grocery store, wondering if I should just buy another batch of instant noodles because I don't want to waste money-money that I barely have to begin with-on food that will just end up being barely edible. Was that the hell I'm talking about? No. It's working unbelievably long hours just to get paid basically nothing, and wanting to buy food to eat because I haven't had one meal for the day, only to end up having a gun on my head. Oh, and before I forget-kidnapped! At a grocery store! My version of hell? It's the tattooed, hot-headed Italian and head of a secret criminal society, Allessio Cascella.
