"Do you know what your name means in Greek Alina?" He asks me as his hand sneaks around my waist, drawing me in closer

My breath hitches, trying to find the words without fumbling, "My father used to call me his light." I answer, my words coming out in a breath, shifting under his weight, pressing myself against him. 

His eye meets mine, tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear before replying, " you are my light Alina, you will always be my light." His lips connecting to mine, and I feel at peace, like I'm home.
--
Alina Harris, quick witted, stubborn, beautiful, innocent when it comes to things she doesn't understand. Starting a new life, new home, no baggage, free. Yet how free can you be when secrets follow.

Colden Aldaine. Arrogant, powerful, self-righteous, always wanting to make something that isn't his, his.
--

But when Colden offers Alina a proposition that could save her life, how could she refuse ? She'll have to make decisions that go beyond her imagination and bend boundaries that has been placed her whole life. A new adjustment is hard when the person your living with you absolutely hate.. sort of.

They tell me love is a pretty lie. A cruel deception. I wouldn't know-I've never been given the chance to believe in it.

Enzo Mancini. Silent. Ruthless. Untouchable. Except... I have touched him. Once, before the lies. Before the fire. Before he left me with nothing but ghosts of a boy who used to stare at me like I was his only sin. Now, he looks at me like I'm his reckoning. Like he's been starving. Like he'll ruin me all over again. The worst part? I want him to. Enzo Mancini She was never supposed to know the truth of that night. The blood on my hands. The fact that I let her believe I was the monster. I told myself I could let her go. That I could watch her slip through my fingers, fall into the hands of men who never deserved her. And I did. She doesn't know what I've done for her. How many bodies I've buried. How many sins I've committed in her name. She's everything I should stay away from. Soft where I am hard. Chaos where I am order. A temptation so dangerous, it should be a death sentence. But I can't stop. I can't stop watching her, wanting her, losing sleep over the way she lingers like a curse in the nightmares she inhabits. She calls me heartless, and like everyone, I let her believe it. She doesn't know that every step she takes away from me is another step toward a man who won't live long enough to touch what's mine. I saved her from the fire long ago, the same one I caused. And now, the flames are swallowing me whole. 17+ Mafia Dark Romance *Standalone*
