Aurora Valentino
"You don't have to change a thing
the world could change its heart,
No Scars To Your Beautiful..."
You know what, these are just words, a nice quote but useless. Sure, you can use this in speeches, but that's it. You can't apply them to real life. There's no such thing like inner beauty in real life. In the end, everything's come down to physical attraction, and nothing more.
I'm Aurora Valentino, of 18, living in Campagna, Italy. Being a daughter of a Mafia family doesn't mean that I'm powerful or can do whatever I want. Trust me, it's worse. Imagine knowing you're forcefully bound to someone with a marriage knot who hates you.
Rafael Salvatore
"The only feeling I've for her is hatred and it'll never change, it shouldn't...".
It's not easy being the son of the Capo of the most powerful Mafia family in Italy. Every decision of my life is made by my father, Gabrielle Salvatore, the Capo of Sicily. I'm 20 now, and next year, I'll take his position as Capo. Part of that plan is marrying Aurora Valentino, the second daughter of Lorenzo Valentino. But I hate her. I'd rather kill myself-or her-than marry her.

kill kiss & Repeat
Title: kill kiss & repeat Genre: Dark Romance | Mafia | Thriller For two decades, the underworld was ruled by two empires-ruthless, untouchable, and divided by an unspoken law: no crossing lines. No love. No mercy. No second chances. But rules were made to be broken. When a cold, silent heir is ambushed in enemy territory, survival comes at an unexpected cost: mercy from the last person who should've shown it. It wasn't weakness-it was obsession. A shadow begins to follow her every move, learning her rhythms, shielding her in secret, bleeding loyalty where there should be none. Meanwhile, on the opposite end of the war, hatred burns with reckless fire. Two enemies-polar opposites, forged in violence-collide in a moment that should've ended in blood. But fury twists into something hotter, darker. A dangerous chemistry that turns a kill order into a slow, inevitable surrender. But in their world, love is treason. While hearts begin to betray blood, a deeper threat emerges. Secrets are leaking. Alliances are cracking. A hidden force is playing puppet master-pitting families against each other, turning lovers into liabilities and loyalty into a loaded gun. This isn't just a war between syndicates anymore. It's the beginning of extinction. In a world where love is lethal and trust is a loaded weapon, every heartbeat is a countdown-and someone's pulling the trigger.

𝗦𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀. "You have three minutes," Kazimir murmurs, voice low enough to burn. My heart slams against my ribs. "I said-" "If you're not ready by then," he says, head dipping until his mouth brushes the shell of my ear, "I'll carry you out exactly like this. In this little nightgown. Barefoot. With nothing inside." My breath catches. He leans back just enough to meet my eyes. Cold steel. Absolute control. "And don't think I won't." ✦••┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈••✦ 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝟮 in 𝐒𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 [𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞] She thought she knew what Hell was. Then she met the man who ruled it. Aurora Ivanov was never meant to be his.

Only the cold, merciless man who has decided she is his forever. She isn't his princess. She isn't his queen. She is his Hellion. And in Hell, there is no escape. Brutal. Sinister. Unforgiving. This is not a love story. This is a warning.

The Heir and The Flame
"I forced a smile, cool and poised. "Glad to know you're keeping track of my entrances now," I said, my tone light but edged. Luciano tilted his head, his smirk deepening. "Hard not to," he replied smoothly. "You do have a way of... demanding attention." I took a small step closer, the red of my gown catching the light between us like a warning flare. "Careful," I said softly, my gaze unwavering. "You might start sounding like you actually admire me." He chuckled under his breath - low and dangerous - before leaning in just enough for only me to hear. "Don't flatter yourself, Valentina," he murmured. "You really think wearing red makes you bold?
