Emma e Carlo si amano da 7 anni, tutto va per il meglio, fanno anche progetti a lungo termine, sognano una famiglia, una casa, dei bimbi, ma forse a sognare resta solo Emma, che non si è accorta che Carlo da quel sogno si è svegliato da un po' coltivandone ben altri.
Lui vuole diventare qualcuno, vuole lasciare il segno. Pronto a correre dritto verso il suo obiettivo e tutto il resto non è che un ostacolo. Per il momento i segni li sta lasciando solo sulla sua anima, come Dorian Gray perfetto fuori ma marcio dentro, marcio perché il suo cuore è atrofizzato, non pulsa più.
Carlo allena tanti muscoli, ma il cuore no, non sa allenarlo, è un muscolo involontario. E lui ha dimenticato di averne uno.
Lui non sa scegliere, fosse per lui starebbe benissimo così, adorando sè stesso come un Dio e trascurando tutto il resto.
Emma si sta consumando, sta lottando da sola contro qualcosa che non può cambiare, contro qualcosa che non sa accettare, che non sa lasciare andare.
Alla fine ci riesce, ma come fa a ricominciare?
Chi è lei? Cosa le piace fare? Quali sono i suoi hobby? Si sente persa, sente fortissimo il bisogno di ritornare da lui in ginocchio, pronta ad accettare tutto, ma resiste, ha sofferto troppo, non può dimenticarlo.
Lei si sente intrappolata, in un labirinto, ma per fortuna come per Arianna lei ha il suo filo: Alysea. Quella che le è stata sempre accanto, come la sorella che non ha, quella che le ha perdonato tanti torti, quella che ha lasciato tutto per correre da lei, quella che ha affrontato con lei quel tunnel diventando la sua torcia in quel mare di oscurità.

I grabbed my glass, sliding hers to her and taking a long drink as she hesitantly reached out to take her glass. I watched her staring at the brown liquid in the glass, looking to be debating. "It will help with the pain you're in," I decided to say, making her look up at me. There was something in the depths of her eyes, something that nearly made me shiver. Then she looked back at the glass, tilting it to her lips and downing the entire contents. I was surprised, seeing her clench her eyes shut, her lips in a firm line. "Why did you have them brand me?" she finally asked, setting her glass back on the table before meeting my gaze. "Marking you," I replied. *************************************** *************************************** Evelyn has given up on life as an upstanding citizen when she is taken by unknown men with cash to burn. She's forced into a life she had escaped years ago and was not looking forward to going back to. A life that was full of bullets, blood and a whole lot of mafia men and women. Alejandro was born and raised mafia...he knows just what to do and when for the safety of his family, and he'll stop at nothing to prove it. He's cunning, wickedly handsome and dangerous, pure and simple. What he doesn't understand, is that the woman he just brought into his home is all of that and more - hidden behind a nerdy exterior. He'll learn...and so will she. ***** I do not own any of the pictures in my story.

He says. I believe him. He takes my hand and brings it to his crotch area where its basically rock solid and fucking huge for that matter. "You feel this? You feel me?

The King of New York {1} by dwliterature
8 parts Complete Mature
UNEDITED WATTPAD VERSION! (This is the arguably rubbish version, ye be warned.) Includes a sample of the published version as well *** Life would be so much easier if he wasn't around, but even I couldn't deny that my life seemed to truly begin since his arrival. Had Lucifer truly been kicked out of heaven because of his own cravings for power, or had he fled after realizing his true happiness lied elsewhere, in a darker atmosphere? In this world, there is strictly no good or bad, no clear right or wrong. We make poor decisions, hoping it will prove worthy in the end. When it does, we never look back, but when it doesn't, it tears us apart like ravaged hell hounds. Perhaps we're all the product of Lucifer and God alike. Born from beauty only to fall to desire. *** When young baker Rosaria Castellanos is offered a chance to pay her parent's debts to the infamous Romano mafia family by a simple favor, she takes it in a heartbeat. Everyone expected a happy italian wedding, with too much wine to handle and lots of singing. Cater pastries, and don't die? Sounds easy enough. Nobody expected her to catch the eye of the young boss, Giovanni Romano, nicknamed 'The King of New York' for good reason. Unknowingly bound to the mafia by birthright, introduced by a dangerous love, Rosaria's identity will soon be forged. An unlikely heroine, imperfect and anxious, must grow through struggles and gang violence to save those around her. In even the darkest of places, love can bloom. Perhaps even in the mafia. - Side note: Warning: mature sexual scenes, swearing, violence ✨Milestones ✨ Featured on Wattpad's Dangerouslove profile #3 in Thrill -9/7/20 #32 in Mature -9/7/20 #42 in Mafia -3/10/20 #45 in Love -9/7/20 ~ Dates ~ WP Start: October 19th 2019 Finished: December 1st 2020 Published: February 14th 2021
Manic Crush by hea4all
31 parts Complete Mature
Every girl has 'that' crush. You know what I'm talking about. The one boy who's the first thought on your mind when you wake up, and the last thought before you go to sleep. The one you carefully select your clothes for, don your best makeup, and style your hair perfectly for. I had 'that' crush. Brock was hot; he was sexy and alpha, with dark smoldering eyes and tattoos that littered his rock-hard body. My poor seventeen-year-old heart had no clue how to handle it, because my badass crush wasn't a boy. He was a man; a nightclub owning married man, who also happened to be my best friend's stepdad. I wasn't the only one who was crushing on Emma's stepdad. He knew it too, but the best part about Brock was that he looked like a badass, he acted like a badass, but he treated every single teenage girl in his home with the utmost respect. He had plenty of admirers, but Emma hated anyone who flaunted their shit in front of him. He'd taken her dad's place. He'd moved in not two months after she'd lost him and had tried to 'parent' her. We hated him together; but secretly I adored him. I spent almost three years in a hoodie, scowling at the hottest man in L.A. The day he left Emma's mom was the happiest and saddest day of my life. If you're going to lose your crush, though, ripping it off like a band-aid is the best way to do it. One day he was there and the next he was gone. And now, seven years later, I'm about to walk into his nightclub and audition for him. He's not the man I remember. He's sexier, more intense, and has connections that are not exactly as wholesome as I assumed. But that only makes me want him more....

(COMPLETED & UNEDITED) His full lips were curled into a smirk as he grabbed her by the arm roughly. "And who might you be?" He asked her while she heard her father mutter something in a language she didn't know. "Estefania De Luca," she answered him as his smirk slowly turned into a smile. She wanted to break free from him and run to her father, but she knew that would only cause a bigger mess for her to clean up and she did not want to get into trouble with Dominic. Her father already was. She watched as he slowly turned to her father and laughed. "De Luca I didn't know your little daughter was so adorable," he said while her father just groaned out in pain. She instinctively tried to move forward only to be roughly yanked back by Dominic. "How old are you again kitten?" Stef tried to turn to her mother but he took her chin in his big hands and forced her to look at him. "I..I just turned eighteen," she forced out of her mouth. ************ Dominic Moretti doesn't care about anything or anyone except for the family business and money. Uses women like trash and treats people like it too. So when an opportunity pops up for him to be head over the family business and have more money, what's a guy to do? There's only one problem. Dominic has to settle down, and get married. Estefania De Luca is your average teenager. Pretty, sweet, shy, and just graduating high school. She has no experience with the harsh brutal world of violence. What's a girl to do when she's forced into such ferocious world with a man who could care less about her? What happens when these two cross paths? *Cover by: @duhmeter **Steamy Chapter is private

"Haven't you done enough?" i asked him. He shaked his head, "No. I don't think so." "Please just leave," i said. More like begged. He shrugged his shoulders and made himself comfortable in one of my seats. Ladies and gentlemen that is the hottest man on earth, the love of my life, the one and only Alessandro De Luca. Just kidding. I'd rather die than have that asshole be the love of my life. He is actually my best friends brother, Nathan De Luca. An amaizing man. "I'll have coffee. Black, two sugars," he said, making himself comfortable. "Just get out of my shop......... You know what... I'm going to get you that coffee," i went inside the kitchen, to make the amaizingly irritating man his coffee. Two minutes later I'm back with the coffee. I poured it on his very expensive coat. He stood up cursing, getting the coat off, "What the fuck is wrong with you woman?" ???????????? She is Gianna. He is Alessandro. She is quiet and friendly. He is loud and not really friendly.

(Original Version) My cousin and I are the only true bloods left in the Thanos Family. I'm eighteen now and my absent father decided to finally take responsibility of having another child. Moving from New York to California wasn't the hard part. The hard part was trying to find the ones who murdered my mother and my grandparents, pretending to be a normal high schooler, and along with that, fighting my feelings for one of my brother's best friends. Didn't I mention that I am also going to be the new Don of our West Coast Empire? I am Gaiana Kallisto Thanos, Mafia Princess, and the best fucking fighter there is. This is book one of the Mafia Duet. WARNING: 18+ Mature scenes and language. _________________________________________ EXCERPT: "I only give respect to those who deserve it, and the only one in this room that deserves it is Alex. Plus you can't call me a slut when you are the one who loves to constantly have her bed warmed with partners. I'm the one in a stable relationship." She gave a smirk. "You sure about that," she asked. She took her phone out and showed me a photo of Luca dressed in what he wore today, escorting Stephany into the passenger seat of his car. I felt my heart drop to my stomach but didn't outwardly show it. Years of being able to turn off my emotions come in handy. "Well there goes that." I looked into her eyes. "What? Did you expect me to drop to the floor and cry? Honey, you don't know me. And you never will because I'm moving out." I looked at my father and said, "It was nice meeting you but I'm good. I'll pack my stuff and be out by tonight." _________________________________________ Start: March 30, 2018 End: August 31, 2018 Copyrighted 2018
