My breath hitched, the moment he held my wrist to stop me, his grip so light as if he was holding something made of feathers.
He pleaded, looking down at his feet, "Then... take me, Ava, to where sinners go. But please take me yourself. So, I can be with you, just for a second more." His voice turned so soft at the end, just a whisper, for a moment, I thought I had only imagined him saying that.
That was probably the most I've ever heard him say.
Please don't make me doubt my decisions. It's best to stay away from you. I'm not strong enough to face the loss again when it comes.

People look at their feet when he is standing in front of them. Salvatore Agosti, the man who was a mystery from the very beginning, they only know him to be a multibillionaire, that's all, no records, no evidence and no witnesses against him. Until now.
When everyone targeted and was against Salvatore, him in cuffs, almost vulnerable. The only person who stood up for him was someone he never expected. The feather-like Avalyn, the ex-wife he divorced without ever being involved with, in any way. A marriage is just in name.
Well, he can only hope he doesn't regret his life decisions and fall headfirst for this little ball of energy. Or maybe he already does?

If you like fantasy/romance you should try my story The Flower Longed Death.

"Smoking is bad for you," he husks next to my ear, squeezing the flesh of my hips before he lets me go and quits the butt of the cigarette with his shoe. With a swift motion I turn the tables, pressing him against the wall this time. My forearm on his throat, holding the tall man in place. I have to throw my head back to look him in the eyes and I have no idea where I've got the courage from, but my temper gets the best of me as I have enough of his games. "You know what's bad for you, darling? Taking me by 120 million dollars." His head dips down to mine, hovering over me. My stomach flutters, and my knees are getting weak from the simple gesture. "Sucks to get a taste of your own medicine, no, love?" He murmers, scanning my face. "You know, you could make all of this stop. Just say the words." His hot breath is fanning over my face as he whispers the next words: "Say you're sorry. 'I'm sorry, sir'. Three words and this war is over." .•● ✧ ●•.

Next he attached his mouth with my breasts, sucking them like his favourite candy while sinking his teeth on my flesh with possession. "I am obsessed with you." He groaned, kissing my neck as suddenly tears commenced to gather in my eyes. I didn't want to hear that from him, all I want to know is, he loves me. But that never came from his mouth. All he said is I mean a lot to him and he is obsessed. I sniffed closing my eyes tightly as my lower stomach tightened into a sharp knot.

His Possession
His Possession. Mafia Romance. Dark Romance. Enemies To Lovers. "Let me go!" I seethed through gritted teeth. I felt an uncontrollable amount of fear rake over my body. I soon began to shake. The fear that I just barely managed to suppress earlier is now clawing its way back up to the surface, rearing its ugly head once again, and hits ten times harder than before. The sensation is literally paralyzing. The feeling totally bypassing 'fight' or 'flee' and going straight to freeze. I feel like yacking up all that greasy food I had eaten during my shift at the diner. But I swallow the urge to do so and grit my teeth. Trust me, I wanted nothing more than to yack all over this pretentious douche. "Sorry kitten, not ever going to fucking happen." He said carelessly as he tightened his grip on the steering wheel. His eyes were fixed on the dark road ahead of us, the road I surely didn't want to die on. Before I could even finish forming a coherent thought, the car swerved hard to the side of the road and comes to a sudden stop, sending me flying into the dash. My forehead collides with the smooth leather of the dashboard. I hear him rustling around, but can't see much due to the black spots in my vision. You know, from literally eating the dash. I hear the sound of something popping open and then liquid being poured. "Tell me kitten," I hear him say slyly. "Does this smell like chloroform?" He chuckles as he reaches across the console to press a rag to my face. Emily Watts, twenty years old and living alone in LA, due to her parents being drunken assholes. She had barely any money to her name, and worked at a small diner, trying to earn some money. Emily's life was in a constant loop, work and sleep. Until it was turned upside down when she meets the most powerful Mafia boss: Luca Adorno. NUMBER 1 IN #HOSTAGE - 08/02/20 NUMBER 1 IN #KIDNAP - 09/07/20 Completed in 2019.

"𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨𝐲." ~ Marriage was never for love-it was for legacy. A strategy. A performance. And for the Lombardis and the Morettis, it was the most calculated, showstopping alliance of the century. Roman Moretti, Don of the La Cosa Nostra, and Angeline Lombardi, only daughter of the French-Italian Mafia Capo, had been betrothed since her birth --matched to unite two empires under one crown. Hidden from the world, Angeline was raised to be the perfect wife. Groomed. Silenced. Controlled. She learned early that one misstep would strip her of everything-including her name. Everyone's first mistake? They underestimated her. Though no one had ever seen her, the world assumed the Lombardi Princess was a polished doll. Quiet. Disposable. Roman saw the marriage as a formality-another calculated step toward total dominance. He had no plans to love her. No plans to live with her. Just a wife on paper, tucked away from him elsewhere, summoned when needed for appearances. But everything changed the moment he saw her walking down the aisle. She was perfection. Untouchable. She would be his ruin, his weakness, his obsession, his motivation. His everything. But what if that had been her plan all along? Not everything buried stays dead. Not every identity is what it seems. In a world where saints become monsters and monsters are worshipped like gods, Angeline must decide what's worth saving: her bloodline, her love, or herself. ~ -HEA -18+ -Romance/mystery/thriller -No Cheating/OWD -DARK ROMANCE "OMYGOSH.

"What makes you think I would be so forgiving as to you going against me?" I snorted, a small smirk forming on my lips. "With all due respect Mr AltoBelli, I don't answer to you. You are not my boss, nor the owner of this company. I am simply helping my client, who has already paid for my help." His jaw tightened, his body looked as if it would pounce at any second. Yet, he refrained. He walked towards the large floor to ceiling window in my office and peered down the 29 floors to look at the bottom of NYC. "I think it's fair to say that you have quite a mouth on you." He noted, turning his frame back to me. "And I think it's fair to say that you are a; misogynistic, egotistical, irresponsible adult!" I argued back. He inclined his head in my direction. "Is that so?" ------------------ "I will never marry you Ace! Your a sick, vile, evil human being!" I spat as he slowly removed himself from his towering position over me. "And that's how you really feel?" He replied, fury brewing within him. "I guess so. Yeah!"

❝You think I don't remember the last time I touched you?❞ His eyes pinned me where I stood. ❝You think time made me forget? Marry me, Chiara... and I'll remind you of every damn second.❞ New York was supposed to be Chiara Mancini's fresh start. A city loud enough to drown out her past, glamorous enough to match her designer heels, and ruthless enough to keep her quick on her feet. For a while, it worked-until the cracks began to show. Business turned cutthroat, friends became strangers, and the name she carried became more of a curse than a privilege. When the threats from her late father's mafia empire begin to close in, Chiara is forced into a world she thought she'd escaped. And waiting at the center is Ronan Paladino-razor-smart, ruinously handsome, and the one man who vanished without a trace, leaving her with nothing but the memory of a promise. Now he's the only shield between her and the vultures circling her family... on the condition she marry him. In the city that taught her survival, and the country that once taught her love, Chiara will have to decide if some wounds are meant to be healed or sealed in silence with the past they both tried to bury. © All Rights Reserved (victoriapinkglitter) ⚠mature content
