Butterfly Storm {MINOR REVISIONS} by winteringpages-

He was groomed into a life of crime; she was trying to hide from it. She sipped a steaming cup of mocha; he aimed the smoking barrel of a gun. ～·～·～ The city knows danger lurks, especially when his name is mentioned; a notorious mafioso with a reputation calculative in his brutality. His word is law, his decision precise. Little do they know, he has secrets that can kill. She'd never involve herself in the underworld again. Even if each day hurts, she left it behind to start anew. Her instincts are sharp, her defenses strong. But when a botched abduction forces her to confront her demons, she begins to realize the past never truly left. Especially when a man of smoke and mirrors offers her a proposal. One that's dangerous enough to tempt not only a war, but a craving for sweet, sinister darkness. With a detective hellbent on incarceration, and blackmailing moles hiding in plain sight, betrayal never comes from your enemies, and lies never stay buried. They say only the strongest survive. Blood is thicker than water; but in a mafiosi's world, a roll of the dice can leave even a Don choking on his own blood. ～·～·～ Content/trigger warning: depression, sexual content, violence, crude language. Read at your discretion, and enjoy ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Updates are indefinite as I'm taking my absolute time with this. Thank you! Beautiful graphics made by my WP bestie @Xaprith ♡٩(ŏ﹏ŏ、)۶

However, after learning the truth about her real parents following her college graduation, her world shifted. The mystery of her parents' sudden disappearance began to weigh heavily on her, filling her with unanswered questions. Determined to uncover the truth about this crucial part of her life, Belle decided to stop living in the dark.

After years of investigation, she finally stumbled upon a lead: an abandoned, once-hidden village buried in rumors. The village was said to have once been home to vampires, human-like aliens, and other rare magical creatures, but the most troubling rumor tied the place to a series of strange disappearances over the years-disappearances that Belle realized were connected to her parents. Armed with this knowledge and driven by her unrelenting determination, Belle embarks on a journey to the village, hoping to uncover the answers she had been longing for a couple years.
