This is the old/ original version of this story (I decided to republish it while I rewrite the new version.)
                                           __________

She always thought she would be trapped in a box, punches, and hits weighing her down, the cold rush of blood drowning the love her parents should've given her.

But even when she escapes...the past haunts her, and the undeniable fear of the unknown etches its way into her heart for eternity.

It's not until a little girl enters her bakery stealing a piece of cake that she lets happiness melt its way into her heart, the little girl's father becomes her armor from the fears that hide behind the deep shadows,

The love, contentment, and safety she never got from her parents were brought tenfold within the both of them, making her realize happiness truly is possible in a world of evil.

                                       ***************

Mafia.

It was all he knew for the longest time, everyone knows him as one of the biggest CEOs in New York, But he hides behind the shadows and controls the night as the biggest mafia boss.

His daughter was the only light he saw in the dark world he hid in, he thought his heart wouldn't soften for anyone, but when he meets a sweet bakery owner with the softest heart, he realizes that maybe love is worth the risk, 

His heart begins to burn for her, and his mind, body, and whole being gets drowned in all that she is.

They don't realize the true armor that love is, the stone wall it builds beyond the evil that lies behind, it strengthens your weaknesses, and shows the light that hides within.

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."

DISCLAIMER THIS BOOK IS NOT A SLOWBURN, WROTE THIS A YEAR AGO AND IT NEEDS EDITING. 𝐀 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐆𝐄 𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐒 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐔𝐍𝐀𝐕𝐎𝐈𝐃𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐄 She wanted love. He wanted power. Aaliyah is forced to marry someone who she hasn't yet met, unwilling and disgusted at the thought she does everything in her power to get out of this future and stay with her boyfriend Zane, but her father makes sure she cannot avoid her fate. Killian Knight was nothing but a cruel, ruthless man who didn't care for anyone's life. When he found out he was marrying Aaliyah, he didn't fight it and only did it to become don. She was nothing but a convenience to him and to her, he was her downfall. Nothing could stop this from happening, the marriage and what happens in the future will be unstoppable. She will try to run, and he will chase. A destined future for the two. Killian will do anything to become leader of the Italian mafia, and Aaliyah will do anything to run from the killer that is Killian. But soon, love is in the air and both of them try to deny it, try to run away from their feelings and refuse to come to terms with it. But fate has other plans for these two, unavoidable and inescapable fate. Quote : You are like a rose, so beautifully tempting but the second I came within your space, I was pricked by your sharp, cruel thorns. You drowned me in your toxins, like you were a drink of poison that I kept drinking even when my own heart couldn't take it. You were an ocean that sank me in sorrows. Like the sun, you burned me and left unhealed wounds on my skin, blinding me with your beauty just to leave me reduced to burnt ashes.

Mia Amata - My love --------------------------------------------------------- Alessandro Ermanuele Armani is the head of the Armani crime syndicate. Hardened by his wife's death, which he blames himself for, he raises his three sons alone with the help of his family and buries himself in his work. One day when he recieves a call from his lawyer claiming that he is listed as the father of a girl on her birth certificate, he agrees to a paternity test, confident that some mistake must have been made since he doesn't recognise the name of the birth mother. What happens when the paternity test comes back positive and he finally remembers the one night stand he had years ago, consumed by grief, after the death of his wife? --------------------------------------------------------- Amadea (Diya) Isabella Armani is 13 years old and lives with her stepfather after her mother died. After years of tolerating physical and emotional abuse what happens when her stepfather takes it too far and someone finally calls the police? What will happen when she finds out about her real father? How will she adjust to her new life with her big family and overprotective and strict father who she just found out about? --------------------------------------------------------- I suck in a sharp breath as I see the petite girl lying on the bed. Her one eye is swollen shut with a significant amount of bruising and her other eye is bloodshot and puffy. Even with one eye swollen shut, I know the eye staring at me is the same as the ones staring back at me when I look in the mirror. Her dark hair is the same shade as mine and even with her bruised and swollen face there is no mistaking the resemblance we share. There is no doubt about this now. She is one hundred percent my daughter. ---------------------------------------------------------

**** Mature content**** "You wanna know why I'm angry?" He said in between the kisses. "Because of you" He said as he continued and my body tensed and shivered. "Every time I think I have control over myself and decide to leave this place... to leave ... you. I stop and walk back like a puppy" He said turning me around now. "Every time I meet someone, I compare them to you. Every fucking time I remind myself that you're an enemy, I want you even more" he said and I knew that this was one of the hardest thing for him to do. He and neither I like to talk about how we are feeling or face reality. Yet he still did it. "What the fuck are you doing to me Mia Bella?"

/Blurb/ She wasn't sure who moved first but one moment she was standing there gawking at him and next their mouths were smashing against each other. She let out a loud moan as his lips touched hers. She didn't care that she was pressed against his wet self and her robe was getting wet in the process. All that mattered was the way his lips felt against her. She made a sound at the back of her throat as he snaked his arms against her waist and pulled her even more closer than it was possible. She wanted to cry, it was as if she was thirsty and he was the water and she was a man dying of hunger and he was the food. Thats how much she felt at home as his lips started moving against hers. He opened his mouth and pressed his tongue inside her and she whimpered as their tongues battled against each other, rolling and teasing, nipping at each other. She could still taste the chocolate on his tongue and she absolutely was addicted to it. She stifled a groan as his eyes rubbed at her side and she realised that it must hit him that she was completely bare, her nudity only covered by the silky robe. *** /Summary/ Natasha is a acclaimed writer who has her book turned into a short story for Hulu. But then she's also working on a new novel which may kill her. And the people who want her dead are none other than her husband's men. Apparently her husband is a mafia leader.
