Love or Duty? by X_Blips_X
9 parts Ongoing Mature
Isabella Rodriguez is the stubborn and fierce detective with the desire to bring justice to those who have been wronged. Despite the male-dominated field she works in, she quickly rose through the ranks to become the dedicated and ambitious detective she is today. She is an independent and strong 25-year-old with the new mission to hunt down and arrest a high-ranking mafia organisation that has been haunting and terrorizing her town since she was a young girl. However, due to her blind trust in people she can often have a clouded judgement and see the best in the worst kind of people, this is how she stumbles upon the cold and calculating Dante Romano. Oblivious to the fact that Dante is a high-ranking member of the organization she is haunting down, she confides in him throughout the investigation, making his job a whole lot easier. Dante Romano, the 6'5, relentless killer would burn the world down for those he loves. Despite his slight resentment to his parents, he would kill to ensure their safety. Dante knows he must kill his dear Isabella... But that doesn't stop him from getting closer to her. Creating a bond. Trust. Love? Dante chooses to chase the soaring feeling his heart feels whenever he's with his first true love, slowly feeling more guilty of the thought of killing her. As Isabella gets closer to finding the only people he has ever considered as family, the pressure to kill her gets worse. But what will he choose? Love or Duty?

Astraea Valeska Romanov comes from the most dangerous Italian mafia, the Hunter's Mafia, in the world. The don of this mafia is Diego Romanov, a ruthless and dangerous man. Astraea is the youngest child, with an older sister and two older brothers. Her sister, Camilla Diaz Romanov, is perfect. She gets the most attention because she overall looks like the definition of a princess. Astraea never liked attention. She had common features, making her blend in. While Camilla is an innocent, classic rich girl, Astraea is a badass, dangerous girl. Astraea has secrets and she's been hurt a both physically and emotionally. She'd never let anyone know though, as she'd prefer to suffer in silence. The Hunter's Mafia has an equally dangerous enemy, which is the most dangerous Spanish mafia, the Devil's Mafia, in the world. Carlos Angelo DeLuca is the don of this mafia. He is the man that all ladies love, and all men fear. Actually, everyone fears him. He is cold, heartless and shows mercy to no one. The Hunter's Mafia decides to form an alliance with the Devil's Mafia by sending one of his daughters for Carlos to marry. Everyone expects Carlos to choose the obvious option; Camilla, but he shocks them by choosing none other than Astraea. Astraea has no choice in this, so she can do nothing but accept. One problem though: Astraea felt as if she was taking Camilla's dream away from her, but she chose to do this for her family's sake. Why did Carlos choose Astraea? What does this alliance mean for both their futures? What will happen when an angel with a heart of gold steps into the arms of the devil with a heart of stone?
