The Russian mafia princess and the Italian mafia king. It's a wise old mafia tale: they are each other's biggest competitor, but the heart doesn't see competition it just sees love... sometimes. 

Sometimes the darkness just needs some light and the lightness just needs a little dark. But sometimes the evil is too dark and no amount of light can save it.

What do the fates have in store for his lightness and her darkness?

Black eyes. Soulless. Unforgiving. Grey. Ice-cold, but just enough that I'm able to melt it. Both make me feel something. The matter was, which one out-weighed the other? Rule-bound, my life feels more like a cage than it ever has. I have no opportunity to use my fire and break out- heat can only do so much. And then like a fish out of water, I have to attach myself to this man- a man I know is dangerous. But so am I. The thing is, I don't know just how much. Only when he touches me, looks at me, talks to me even if his voice is laced with Russian poison.. that's when I realize just what agreement I've accorded with. It's a crippling touch of fire everytime he's near, and the most dangerous thing of all- even more than him, is the fact that I don't hate it. Stone is what I see when I look into his eyes. I wonder, is his heart made of it too? Nikolas Volkov When a bloody feud between the Russian Bratva and the Cosa Nostra ends with one outback- I'm forced to put myself in a position I have no other choice but to fulfill. With the Pakhan on my back, eyes everywhere mean complying is the only option. Only when the moment comes, is when I realize just what I've gotten myself into. She's.. indecipherable. I don't know what the hell this feeling is. I know it's not good. But my body tells me it's not bad, either. I try to stay away, but feeling her tremble and light like a switch underneath my touch when she's so used to staying upright, it awakens a dark, fulfilling part of me. My heart's made of stone. It always has been. So why do I feel it sway whenever she's near? 17+ Mafia Dark Romance *Standalone*

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗮 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲. I never thought my world would crumble at the hands of a man like Alessandro Rossi-a 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 draped in silk suits and ruthlessness. One moment, I was Yasenia Fraga, daughter of the powerful Galician mafia Don Juan Fraga, and the next, I was dragged into a war I never asked for. Alessandro didn't just kidnap me, he aggressively took over my life. He ripped me from my peaceful life and thrust me into his darkness, forcing me to marry him to secure his family's grip on my father's territory. To him, I'm nothing more than a bargaining chip, a way to tighten his stranglehold on Galicia. But Alessandro doesn't realize that breaking me will cost him more than he expects. Under all that cruelty lies a sick obsession, one that seeps into every look, every touch, every promise of destruction. He's ruthless, controlling, and heartless, yet something darker stirs between us, something neither of us can deny. In his world, love doesn't exist, only power. And if I want to survive, I'll have to decide if I'll fight him, or let myself be consumed by him. Because one thing is clear-whether I want it or not, I am his. And in his eyes, I always will be. 🔞 #1 - mafiaboss #1 - guns #1 - secrets #5 - forcedmarriage #10 - enemiestolovers #7 - possessive #13 - drama #2 - guns

"Your Father is my biggest enemy." He proclaims as he tilts her chin up with the hand that is not gripped around the nape of her neck. Her eyes gloss over as she looks down at the loaded gun held tightly in her trembling hands. The gun that is pressed directly over his heart. A tear escapes from her heavy eye but is quickly stolen by his thumb that wipes it away. She draws away from his touch just as quickly as he makes the contact. "But my hatred for him can wait." His head lowers and his warm breath hovers right over her ear causing goosebumps to erupt on her skin.
