INFINITO E OLTRE (IN ENGLISH) by YourMiee
71 parts Ongoing Mature
He is a force to be reckoned with. A lift of his finger & people are beheaded in seconds. A word from him & the streets of NY are bathed in blood. Any evil deed, you name it & he has done it. Vicious, nefarious, brutal & downright cruel. Majestic in every sense of the word. A beautiful disaster. A criminal mastermind. The undisputed lord of the crime world. No one with a beating heart & blood still pumping in their veins lives to tell the story after crossing him. Even Satan is afraid of being compared to him. He has everything a man dreams of & is everything a woman desires. She is a ball of sunshine. Not afraid to speak her mind. A ray of happiness & positivity. Brightening up everyone's day on her way, even the man on a verge of death. Always so full of energy. The spark in her perents' eyes & the smile on her friends' lips. The embodiment of beauty with brains. Exquisiteness in its truest form. Innocent, naive but not scared of anyone. Sometimes a bit stupid but not gullible. She has everything a woman envies of & is everything a man desires. Or so they thought until... For him, she is a mirage. An unending pool of light in his dark world made up by his illusional mind which he didn't even know he craved before she came along. Just in this case, his mirage is adamant on quenching his thirst & he too won't let it go unless he redeems himself in her sanctity. For her, he is an enigma. A puzzle who has hidden his own pieces. A riddle no one dares to solve. A mystery yet to unfold. Dark clouds surround him. Hiding his emotions under their shadow that are craving her light desperately. Forces trying to separate them are endless. But if together, their love can conquer the world. An inevitable phenomenon is what they are. A love so intense comes only in ages that has the ability to defame even Shakespeare & it'll be a shame to the Gods if they didn't make them the endgame. Because, Lord help! They will raise hell if they do not end up together.

UNTIL DEATH ( Love should Never be this deathly ) by Rosiecheeks91
13 parts Ongoing Mature
UNTIL DEATH ( LOVE SHOULD NEVER BE THIS DEATHLY ) Love is often described as a profound and pure connection shared between two soulmates, characterized by selflessness and a desire to bring joy to one another. It embodies the essence of putting the needs of your beloved above your own, creating a bond that feels both sacred and exhilarating. However, love can also take a darker turn, transforming into a dangerous obsession that blurs the lines between affection and possession. Imagine a promise to yourself that no one can take your beloved away, a vow that they are yours for eternity, regardless of the circumstances. This intense devotion can spiral into a lethal fixation, where any perceived threat to the relationship ignites a fierce protective instinct-one that could lead to tragic consequences. Rosa Andrew, a 24-year-old embodiment of beauty and kindness, whose free-spirited nature and captivating smile draw admirers like moths to a flame. However, her life takes an unforeseen turn when she unwittingly captures the attention of not one, but two ruthless and powerful mafia leaders-Vincent Salvatore and Massimo Rosario. Each is determined to claim her as their queen, swearing never to let her go. This unfolding drama raises the stakes: Who will emerge victorious in this battle for Rosa's heart? Will the consuming forces of love, obsession, and possession ultimately lead to destruction, engulfing all in their fiery grasp, or will Rosa find a way to navigate this perilous love triangle and safeguard her own future?

A dead woman walking would make anyone do a double take. She never thought she would see him again. He never thought she could have survived. More questions left than answers Jada and Alessio must finally work together. Nothing was right in the world without Jada in it and now nothing was right with her in it either. Book Excerpt: "Where are you trying to take me? You snagged us up, but where are we going," She asked pointedly. "To my grandparent's home." "That's a terrible idea. We need a safe place to go, not somewhere so obvious." "My grandfather knows important people. Trust me, he's the safest place in Italy we could be." "No, I won't just blindly follow your lead. I won't risk my sons life on something like that." "And where would you go? How would you be any safer? If it wasn't for me, our son would be long gone. You have no resources. You have nothing. Somehow, I am the bad guy!" "Yes you're the fucking bad guy, you can't trip me into marriage and then putting me through hell as I tried my best to survive. You're the bad guy because I never agree to be with a criminal master mind or whatever you do. I have no idea. I don't know anything about you. I was cheated on and lied to just as much. Don't go blaming your hurt feelings all on me. You started this. You are the reason. I'm finally reacting to the way you treated me! I was delusional, scared, and confused. You isolated me from my people. I wasn't okay. I've been ripped from the life I knew!" [In Progress 4/19/24- ] Rankings #118 Man #44 deathandlife #5 lovetragedy

He moved even closer to her, encircling her in his arms, her eyes shut at the electrifying sensation that enveloped her, "But I hope you'll stay." He whispered in her ears. A lone tear escaped her eye as she heard his pain stricken words. "I am scared" She confessed, her voice trembling. "I will never let anything happen to you." He assured her, caressing her cheeks. Silence settled upon the room as their gazes remained locked and he leaned forward, placing his lips gently upon her's. An unknown warmth filled her body and instinctively her arms wrapped around his neck, drawing him closer. He reciprocated, pulling her body closer to his and deepening the kiss. He kissed her like there was no tomorrow - passionately. Only when their breaths became ragged did he finally release her, resting his head against hers. The only sound that resonated in the room was of their heavy breaths until Scarlett whispered, "I'll never leave." ___________________________________________ Markus Hayes, A man you don't want to be up against.
