"Mom, I feel weird. My tummy feels ticklish."

"Oh mija, those are butterflies," the mother caressed her daughter's forehead.

"Butterflies, why are they in my tummy?" the little girl asked, wide-eyed with wonder.

"They are there to let you know when you feel happy. Natalia, let me tell you a story. Do you want to hear a story?" the mother asked her daughter, who was now examining her stomach. 

Her daughter nodded. "Okay, este es la historia de las mariposas."


Throughout her life, Natalia constantly felt those butterflies in her stomach. She felt them when she went on an airplane for the first time or when she had to perform in front of people. She felt their presence when she first met Alessandro, but she soon came to realize that over time, these butterflies disappeared. At least, she didn't feel them anymore with Alessandro. Was it because she wasn't happy with Alessandro's choice of life or was it because she didn't love him anymore?

Alessandro also knew about these butterflies, but to him it was called adrenaline. He love the feeling of adrenaline running through his veins. He got his adrenaline rush by racing cars, running away from the police, and stealing from powerful people. He loved the feeling so much that he hoped that it will never go away. 

After being apart for five years, will Natalia's butterflies fly in excitement when she sees him again? Also, will Alessandro finally get tired of living life on the edge?

"I can show how much of a 'little' guy I am." He said emphasizing the little. He came closer to me. Our lips were inches away. I could smell the scent of his cologne definitely not cheap. My breathing became uneven. "What's wrong princess? Cat got your tongue" He stroked my cheek. I leaned into his touch but he removed it. He pulled away grabbing another glass. I let out a breath. I turned around. Guess I have to do this the hard way. I leaned near to his ear. He tensed. "Teasing me is only making me wet. Imagine you inside me. Screaming your name. I guess you don't want that." I said seductively. I kissed his ear. I walked toward the hallway by the bar leading to different rooms. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Adelina Madden is a 28-year-old who got fired from her job.

She was lost and so was he. Who knew that two broken hearts can connect to one. Arabella's world has been rigged since the day she was born. Her fate had been decided for her much longer before she even had been conceived in the womb. So it came as no surprise when she found herself back at the beginning. As if the pain she has previously experienced wasn't enough, she now needs to relearn how to balance her life. She can't help but pray to the universe for a break. She was exhausted from fighting for all she had and watching her life fall apart just as quickly as it had come back together. Dominic's life was something he would forever be grateful for since he knew that he never had it as rough as others. But there were always going to be times that he wanted to give up. With the responsibility of leading an entire mafia and his own past commitment issues, he believes the barrier to letting go is far greater than what others tell him. And when new desires emerge, he notes how his heart skips a beat whenever he sees her. His instinct kicks in, and he raises his barriers twice as high as she lowers hers to make place for him. All I was guilty of, was showing them mercy when no one else would. ~~~ "I saw you, Dominic. I wish you saw me." "I see you." I freeze at his words, my back facing him. "I can only see you. Everything I look at, everything I touch, everything I smell always leads back to you. I spent most of my life thinking that my heart was my biggest weakness. I always imagined that it would be my downfall. I had a loving family and that was enough for me. Getting a girlfriend, getting married, having a family, none of that mattered to me. Before you." He pauses, taking a breath and my eyes water. "I kept any other part of my heart guarded and almost locked. It was as if I didn't have one at all. Even now, its still fucked up. The lock I've kept is warned out though the only person who has its key is you. It's yours."

Little does he know that two people with the same mindset and power don't get along. Or do they? . . I could feel his breath against my skin as I resisted the urge to shudder. He pinned both my hands on the wall on either side of me, caging me in. He glowered down at me, not an ounce of sympathy or remorse in his eyes. "Why don't you ever fucking listen to me?" He demanded, almost shouting, in a furious tone. He grabbed my chin, forcing me to look at him. "You're not my boss," I seethed, glaring right back at him. It didn't help that I couldn't move at all, either. He clenched his jaw. "It seems like we have a miscommunication," he said slowly. I swallowed. "I am your boss and You. Are. Mine." With that, he smashed his lips against mine.
