Feel the way he puts me back together in his arms. It ate at my heart and I could have sworn I felt a feathery kiss on my head.

If you feel this way then why can't you choose me, Dominic. I shake my head from his hands wishing to step back but he pulls me back to him a pain filled groan leaving him. "Just one more minute.

Til' Death Obeys
She was the daughter of head of the "Ravens" the Spanish mafia which was in the control of most of the Southern Europe. She was in no sense weak or reckless. Her eyes were colder than ice and words dipped in strongest of poisons. Ethereal. she was absolutely ethereal. But behind her intoxicating smile, there was something dangerous, something absolutely chilling. He was the son of head of the "Hemlocks" the German mafia in control of the Western Europe. He was arrogant, and why wouldn't he be? He had it all. Money, power, fame, and to top it all, looks. But there was his demeanor, so cold, so indifferent, so calculating, that no one dared to anger him. He had built around him a wall, not of bricks, but of steel. He was not aggressive unnecessarily, unlike how one might imagine a mafia leader to be. He never killed more than he needed to, but he never failed to strike those he once caught upon. She hated him. After all, he was the one who caused her so much misery throughout her life. He hated her. After all, he had to suffer at the hands of her family, because of her. What could go wrong- no. What couldn't go wrong if they have to be under the same roof?

Ava was the most popular girl in school, she was outgoing, beautiful, and shone like a radiant star. Our parents told her she could easily be a model or anything she wanted really, and Ava with all the confidence of a film star strode through life dazzling all in her wake. She had thousands of followers on her Instagram, Whatsapp, and Tic Toc, and what did I have. Well I had a creative streak and an introverted nature, and I lived in Ava's shadow. The only reason it seemed anyone spoke to me was to get my big sister's attention. I felt like a butler or a handmaiden to a Queen. It was like I never had my own identity. No one saw me at all, until that one day someone did, and I remember it like yesterday. Did I make a good decision probably not, would I do it again, I am unsure. But just once someone noticed me, yes me, and it felt so good. It was good at first, but by the time I had realized the good would never last, the jaws of the trap were closed. I was far away and at his mercy, and yet another stood by me, one who could rescue me from my mistakes.Complete
