"The concept of flying into Rome and going to Pescara, Italy on my own without knowing any Italian, and staying with a family I had never met did come with its own set of fears. But I craved the kind of adrenaline that only comes from exploring on my own. I craved the journey of the new and unknown. The part of my personality that has shaped many of my decisions is my deep fear of being ordinary. That was a force behind not going to college or chasing after a secure job. It haunted me to know that I could die at any moment without allowing myself to live up to my full potential"

THE BODYGUARD'S SHADOW
He wasn't my savior. He was my cage dressed as protection. After my brother's death, I became heir to Italy's most feared mafia empire - fragile, watched, and drowning under expectations I never asked for. My father assigned me a guardian: Luca Ardan, loyal, quiet... and terrifyingly obsessed. They call him my protector. But his devotion feels more like control. Anyone who gets too close to me disappears - swiftly, silently, without a trace. Luca doesn't guard me from danger. He creates it, just to be the one to save me. And I can't decide what's more dangerous - his love, or the way I can't stop craving it.Complete
Texting With The Don

One last major bash before reality set in and we headed out into the world to make our mark. However my reality was very different from my friend's.

Final One Standing
Time. It's a tricky thing. No one knows just how much time they left. It can be 100 years or 100 seconds. 12 hours or 12 minutes. No one knows. They were just given life and they have to spend their time while they can. But what if you avoid your expiration date? What happens? Are you now invincible or do you have the biggest target on your back. Or what if you just piss off the grim reaper, what then? What if you aren't careful and accidentally drop a coin? What happens if you're the last one standing in a pool of blood? What happens...?Complete

The cut that always bleeds
I was what they called a perfectionist. I had everything planned out and wanted a simple straightforward life. Things at home were hectic, disturbed, painful and heart-breaking. I decided that I wanted to stay away from all people that could possibly hurt me. For example, friends, extended family, judgemental neighbours and worst of all, the one I dreaded the most... love. But of course, as any normal story goes, I was unable to steer clear of love. I was unable to steer clear from him. I let myself drown in merciless water, drown so deep, the surface was out of the question. I let myself escape and wonder in his inequitable love, so blinded, so foolish. I thought I could no longer drown. But that day. That one day. That day ensured my belief. That I would forever drown alone.Complete
My Dear Brothers|✓|
"You know, I always thought that this situation would play out differently." I said and their heads snapped up. Their jaws dropped and I gave them a small smile. "Am I hallucinating?" Roman murmured as he stared at me. "If you are hallucinating Isabella, then we have reached new levels of twin telepathy I did not know could be reached." Alex replied. I let out a small chuckle and unlocked the cuffs attached to their hands and they looked at me in disbelief. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Isabella has never fit in with others. She was never the most beautiful girl nor was she the most studious. She was, in a word, boring. Her life seemed plain and she made sure no one knew what was actually going on at home. She made sure that her life at home was hidden no matter how much it broke her. What happens when her family is gone and she comes to know that she is not really who she thinks she is? What happens when she goes to live with her brothers who she did not even know existed? (I'm sorry, I'm horrible at descriptions. Please give this story a chance. There might be mild cursing) #1 in lifechanging on September 21, 2020 #82 in school on October 23, 2020Complete
It Began In Italy | ✔️
One last trip with her family before she goes to University. Her intentions for this trip were to spend every minute making memories and savouring the last moments she'd get with her family before she moved away. She did this, just not with who she had planned. In the Italian sun it's easy to make rash decisions and to have a lapse in judgement. Especially when a man, you've only just met, comes into play. When he's showing you the island and teaching you Italian, how can you not fall madly in love? With three weeks to spend, will she let herself fall head over heels for a guy she will most likely never see again, or will she stick with her former plan and come to her senses?Complete![Once Upon A Time [2p!Canada x Reader x 1p!Canada]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/76534810-256-k6467.jpg)
