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.

It feels like I'm losing it all, like no matter how tightly I hold on, we're slipping apart." A tear escaped, tracing a path down my cheek. "So, was it a good thing? I don't know.

His flowers by ashvwrites

Violet Balenciaga:•: She just found the courage to leave her toxic, abusive relationship. The one time she gave love a chance after the love of her life leaving her she ends up alone and pregnant, with twins. Alessandro Esposito:•: He shut down since the death of his father. Since he left the love of his life to take over the mafia his brother turned down. He's the shell of the person he used to be, he feels he's lost himself forever. 🌹✨🌺 "You're so beautiful." He grins leaning down to peck my lips. "You're glowing with happiness. You have no idea how honored I feel to be able to put that smile on your face." I feel my cheeks heat at the compliment as I melt into the mattress. "Your smile was the first thing I fell in love with. Then it was your eyes and your laugh." Him staring down at me with such intensity has my heart beating wildly against my rib cage. His hands gently cup my face, "I never fell out of love you with you, Violet, but everyday I can't help but fall all over again." 🌹✨🌺 "Baby talk to me." Aless snaps me out of my thoughts as he slowly inches closer to me. His arms hesitantly grab my face and wipe away my tears. "Bad dream." I whisper sniffling. "He had me." My heart breaks just thinking about it. "And he hurt them." The way his eyes darken with rage show me he knows who I'm taking about. He looks down to my stomach, his eyes soften as he lays two kisses in the middle. "I'm going to kill him." His words should scare me, instead they make me feel protected.

Enchanted by ruani_writes

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."

Melancholy by ruani_writes

She hated them. They loved her with everything in them. The universe truly has a sick way of telling you it's there, doesn't it? From being kidnapped to being abused, that was all Arabella saw in life. It was all she ever knew. They tell you to keep fighting but sometimes you realize... you were just a child. Now she's built herself up using her pain as the next step to her strength. She's learnt how to strive forward even as her past haunts her mind crawling up her back every passing second. That is until the first 7 people who only ever brought her pain find their way back into her life. She has no way to let go of her past when they come right back to her. The world showed her no mercy in it's ways so why should she. ~~~ I let out a small sigh wanting more of this. I wanted to be held like this whenever I felt broken. Feel the way he puts me back together in his arms. It ate at my heart and I could have sworn I felt a feathery kiss on my head. It was as if he could hear my thoughts and was kissing them away for me. Slowly he lets one hand go, the other staying around me as he brings my chin up to him gently wiping my last tears as more fill my eyes. He sees this and his eyes look... crumbled. If you feel this way then why can't you choose me, Dominic. I shake my head from his hands wishing to step back but he pulls me back to him a pain filled groan leaving him. "Just one more minute. Please." His body shook and I brought him closer, feeling our pain become one. Our hurricanes of minds pull away even for the smallest time letting us stand together as one in each other's embrace. He was it for me. But I wasn't his.

Crimson Redemption (Book 2 of Crimson Empire) by RosieBloomWrites

"Some wounds don't heal alone. Sometimes, it takes the one who broke you to help piece you back together-if they're willing to bleed with you." I've been in love with Enzo De Luca since the moment he told me he was unable to feel the same. Cold, untouchable, and wrapped in the armor of his paranoia, he was everything I knew I shouldn't want-but did anyway. So when his engagement made headlines, followed by a picture-perfect wedding that shattered something fragile inside me, I knew it was time to let him go. Or at least pretend to. Because moving on from Enzo was never going to be easy-especially when the marriage was nothing more than a lie dressed in diamonds and designer vows. Then I was taken. Three days. Three days of hell. Three days of bruises, of fear, of being broken piece by piece. And in the silence, in the pain, in the darkness-I only prayed for one person. The man who'd already broken my heart. My savior. My hero. My undoing. But when Enzo tears down the walls to find me, everything changes. Because the rescue was just the beginning. Now, as I try to stitch myself back together, he's the only one who makes the pain bearable. The only one who sees past the surface and touches the parts of me I thought were too damaged to love. But love has never been simple for us. And as the buried pieces of my past rise to the surface, I wonder if the truth will make him stay-or finally push him away for good.

"Let go," I yelled, shoving him roughly. He grabbed my wrists and pinned me against the wall, face inches from mine. "Fight me all you want, Principessa, ...but you'll never escape me," he murmured, eyes dark with a twisted mix of desire and fury. My breath hitched as I felt something cold and unmistakable press against my stomach-his revolver, still snug in its holster. "I was supposed to hate you, I should stay away from you but, baby the way you have tangled me up, I want to sin harder with you." He placed a kiss just below my ear-slow, deliberate-and my knees nearly buckled, the scent of danger wrapping around me like smoke. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> 🔥 In a world where love is weakness, emotions are weapons, and power is the only god... comes The D'Angelos. The heir's a Greek god dipped in danger-ruthless, untouchable, and soaked in sex appeal. The world fears him. Women worship him. But beneath the designer suits and calculated cruelty lies a man made of secrets, sin, and scars. She? She's his opposite. A storm wrapped in sunshine. Carefree. Beautifully reckless. The last person he should ever want. But fate doesn't play by the rules. And neither does he. 🥀💋 When obsession meets kindness, when power tastes love for the first time... He'll burn the world to keep her. Even if it destroys them both.

"What are you thinking about?" Enzo says stepping over to sit next to me. "Huh" I remark and glance at him. "When you're thinking about something, you scrunch your nose up and tighten your brows. But you're also biting your lips, so it must be something serious, or are you nervous?" He says, and I just stare at him, shocked. "Am I that easy to read?" I inquire, and he laughs. "Not when you're on your period or when you're hungry. Can't tell whether you like me or want to kill me." He says and I laugh and hit his shoulder. "Am I that bad?" I say "Uh, yeah. I feel like if I don't have a sandwich made in 15 seconds when your moody, I'll be in deep shit." He says. "Stop, you're making it seem like I'm some bad person," I say this and shove him away from me; he chuckles. He takes my hips and places me on his lap, forcing me to straddle him while I wrap my hands around his neck and look up at him.
