Café Rouge is the small french cafe that Lola's father has poured his heart and soul into. She'd never thought, he'd acquired it through...darker means. The Italian mob to be more precise. Now it's collection time and Lola's paying the price. Trading herself for her father's life-Lola finds herself in the hands of the incredibly frustrating, confusing and very good looking mob son's boss-Carlos. She's convinced that with Carlos there's nothing more than what meets the eye; a cold-hearted, killer but could she be wrong?

Warning: First chapter goes fast since it was taken from a One-Shot. I will be editing this along with the rest of the book much later so bear in mind the story does get better :)

BOOK 1 Aaron Russo - Don of the Russo mafia. "To kill or be killed" He had many women in his life but the one thing he didn't do was love or relationships. He said it was a weakness, something people can exploit and hold against you, something he can't have being the head of the mafia. His main objectives are making money, killing traitors and over powering every other mob. That's until he laid eyes on her. Aaron Russo may not do love or relationships, but he knew she was going to be his. She was made for him. Florence Stan - First year uni student. Finally away from strict parents and boyfriend. Studying, making friends and partying is on her agenda for the next three years while she stays in accommodation. She wanted to see what she'd been missing over the years when her father wouldn't allow her to go out, that's untill she ends up at the wrong club at the wrong time. His club. Little did she know the "freedom" she thought she'd just gained would disappear once again. She would no longer be her father's property but his. •• "Well you didn't think I'd just sit here, accept your deal and fall at your knees begging for you to be with me forever, did you?" I smile at her causing her smile to drop. "Don't answer that, you proved you were a freak when you kidnapped me. Anyways, since I have lived with my father for 18 years, I know what men like you and him are like, there's no way for me to get out of this. So, for the next two years I will do everything to make you hate me, I will make you wish you never brought me into your life. By time It gets to the end you will be begging my father to take me back." I slowly get up and walk around the table till I'm right in front of her. Her breathing hitches as I sit on the desk with my hands on my knees, bent down inches away from her face "Princess, I don't beg, the only person who will be begging is you when you want me to fuck that sweet little pussy of yours. Don't make empty threats again

Francine Greene is your average girl. Average face, average body and a fairly average life. She lives in a small quaint town in Italy, going to college and running an old cafe with her best friend. All is well until one night two strangers with guns walk into their cafe. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You did this Gustavo!" she screamed, unable to contain her wavering voice and stray tears. He stayed quiet, furrowing his brows as he looked down at his desk. "I did this?" he lowly asked. Her breath came in sharp and uneven as she ran a shaky hand through her thick hair. "Yeah," she replied breathlessly, her chest rising and falling with each ragged breath. He nodded, shoving his hands into his pockets. "I pursued you?" he asked. "Well...no," she admitted softly, her gaze dropping to the floor. "I asked you out?" he pressed, his tone demanding. "No..." she said, her breathing beginning to steady. "Did I ask you to go anywhere fucking near me?" he angrily said, biting out every word through gritted teeth. He slowly walked towards her, fury in his eyes as he stared down at her. She stumbled back, hitting the door with a muted thud. "No, Gustavo," she whispered, her voice barely audible. He looked upon her like a venomous snake. Franny, with her back pressed against the smooth wooden door, couldn't meet his unyielding gaze. Gustavo placed his hands flat against the door, his fingers splayed wide. He leaned in close, his cool breath sending shivers down her spine. "You could've known who I was from the start, Franny," he said softly, his voice carrying a dangerous edge, "and you'd still be standing right here." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ **ONGOING** **Updated Weekly** **Dark Content**
