Liam Bradford walked down the dimly lit alley, his leather jacket shielding him from the cold night air. At just twenty-one years old, he was already a force to be reckoned with in the underworld. His piercing blue eyes and strong jawline made him intimidating, but there was a vulnerability hidden behind his tough exterior. Liam was the son of Vincent "The Viper" Bradford, the notorious mafia boss. Despite growing up surrounded by crime, Liam dreamt of a different life - a life free from the shackles of his dangerous destiny.

That night, as he approached the rundown warehouse that served as his father's headquarters, Liam couldn't shake the feeling that his life was about to take a dramatic turn. He stepped inside to find his father, a hulking figure with a salt-and-pepper beard and a piercing gaze that could make even the bravest men quiver. Vincent was seated behind his oak desk, surrounded by his loyal henchmen.

"Ah, Liam, I've been expecting you," Vincent said, his gravelly voice cutting through the silence. "Take a seat."

Liam nodded, taking a seat across from his father. The room was thick with tension, and Liam couldn't help but wonder why his father had called him here so urgently. Vincent leaned forward, his eyes locked onto Liam's.

"There have been whispers in our circle, Liam," Vincent said, his voice dripping with authority. "Whispers of a rival gang expanding their territory into ours. I need you to investigate this matter discreetly."

Liam's heart raced; this was not the future he had envisioned for himself. He knew that diving deeper into the world of crime would only endanger the few things he held dear. "Father, I don't want this life for myself. I want to pursue something different, something better," Liam said, his voice filled with determination. "Son, our family has been entwined with this life for generations. It's our legacy, our destiny. You can't just walk away from that."

"But, Father..."

Always His | (Book 3) 18+ oleh baddiebirdieblue

BOOK THREE OF THE BLACK SERIES *this book CANNOT be read as a stand-alone* -- "Get the hell off of me, Lucian," I snapped angrily, smacking the palm of my hands on his muscular back as he carried me out of the club. "Who the fuck do you think you are?" It wasn't until he carried me upstairs and into a VIP room that he set me on my feet. I wobbled from the combination of my heels and the alcohol finally reaching my brain. It didn't stop me from glaring at him, but he just stared back, his eyes blank. As always. He's never been a talker, unlike me. What the hell was he even doing here? "You can't just walk on the dance floor and throw me over your shoulder like a sack of potatoes," I snapped, trying to get passed him. "I'm not a kid anymore, Lucian, okay? I'm not yours to protect - I never have been!" Hearing those words must have triggered him because he snapped. Lucian roughly grabbed me by the waist and pushed me against the cold wall, his body pressed right against mine. My eyes widened in shock and I met his blazing glare, feeling his hand creep up to my hair and twist it in his knuckles. I tried to force the lump down my throat but felt the confidence leave my body. "I can do damn well as I please when I see my woman dancing with a man who would want nothing more than to take her back to his place," he growled out, tilting my head up by my hair. Our lips were almost touching. I suddenly can't breathe. "You're mine, Mia," he spoke, this time his words low and raspy. "You always have been - never fucking forget that."

A Billionaire's Mistake oleh ilovefelix_hyunjin

Felix Lee isn't just rich. He isn't just feared. At twenty-one, he is the youngest mafia boss alive, sitting on a throne built from blood, loyalty, and fire. Men twice his age bow when he enters a room. Rivals whisper his name like a curse. With his brothers at his side, Felix has already conquered everything worth taking. But then there's Hyunjin. Nineteen. Sharp-tongued. Beautiful. Dangerous in ways that don't come from violence but from survival. He belongs to Kim Min-Young-Felix's sworn enemy. Which means he should have been off-limits. A distraction. A problem. Instead, he became Felix's obsession. What started as one night was never going to stay that way. Felix doesn't let go of what he wants, and he doesn't know how to stop burning for Hyunjin. To him, Hyunjin isn't a mistake-he's the only thing worth breaking rules for. And Felix will burn cities, empires, and anyone who dares stand in his way to keep him. Because in Felix's world, love isn't tender. It's possession. And possession is deadly. Dialogue Peek: Felix leaned back in Hyunjin's chair, turning lazily, his smirk sharp enough to cut. "So... did you enjoy it, as much as I did?" Hyunjin shoved papers into a folder, his voice a harsh whisper. "This isn't the time to talk about last night. If word got out about that mistake, my job here is done." Felix rose, each step deliberate as he circled the desk. "A mistake? Really? A mistake doesn't leave you breathless... twice in the same night." Hyunjin's glare didn't waver. "You're impossible." Felix snapped his laptop shut, leaned down until his shadow swallowed Hyunjin whole, and spun his chair to face him. "Call it whatever you want. We both know you're the one who called me... begging."

My Possessive Mobster✔️ oleh jhenny_pink

"I-I should be heading to my room now." I told him not in anyway ready to face him. "Turn around." He instructed. "Your fiancee may w-wake up soon to use t-the bathroom or discover no ones t-there." This would definitely not be a good look. Stop stuttering, I mentally chanted. "She won't." Was his response. "Please, I must head back to my r-room." I informed him, it had already been too long since we were in the bathroom alone. "You won't be getting out of here until you comply with my instructions." He informed. What game was he playing! I obliged and did what he said slowly turning around with my eyes tightly. *********** Unedited! Exclusively signed to wattpad.

Take You Back oleh lil_apple

"To bastards!" I said, gesturing to Vincent and Mason. "And to the girls that endure all the pain." I clicked Tina's glass while she watched me take another glass, "And to the absolute horror of getting a divorce a week before your birthday because you were stupid enough to like the bastard." I bowed while everyone stared at me. The anger radiated off Vincent while I took another glass. "This one is for you, my loving husband." I chuckled slurring as I got up, "I mean ex-husband, and you, if you may, please get the fuck out." I pointed between Mason and Vincent, a hiccup escaping my lips. "Both of you. Faith was the only thing that brought them back together, but will it be on their side again? Vincent and Laura had known each other since they were children.

Louis's pov: "Kneel" I was shocked for a second and asked her "w-w-what?" she looked at me and said, "You don't want me to take the most important thing to you? then I'll take the second place, your pride" she said and sat back on her chair "now, kneel" Evelyn's pov: "You push too far, Bell." His voice dropped, losing all pretense of calm. "You always have. And you always will. But this time, there's nowhere left for you to run. No one left to save you. And no one you can hide behind."

Now, let's see how well you handle my patience." Hiii this is the first book I have ever written so please keep that in mind thank you and enjoy reading:)

Thats why we moved to this warehouse because its on government land ronald wont attack he doesn't want his good name tarnished with relation with the mafia yet.... According to the public he's a man of honour and commands respect and having relations with the mafia would definitely... ' "... Ruin his good reputation", briella interrupted. "exactly," i replied.

Saving Emyra (18+) oleh _Ommy_

"What do you want me to do about this?" he asked, making me narrow my eyes at his question yet I willed myself to remain respectful. Pleasant. Docile. "Maybe you could tell them that I didn't kill him." That you did, was what I wanted to add but I refrained myself from doing so. No need to say it at this stage; we both knew what he did. Derek leaned in closer to me this time, both his elbows on the table with his arms still crossed in front of him and his eyes fixed intently on mine. If I wasn't currently running on about fifteen hours of sleep across the entire week, I would've been ready to swear that the slight quirk of his lips was an amused smirk but at this stage, I couldn't really tell my hallucinations from my reality. The only reason I still believed that I was actually being stalked and not just paranoid was because the letters were there to prove it. "And if that doesn't work, Morgana," he said, calling me that stupid name again yet I couldn't bring myself to correct him for it. Something about the way he held my gaze made me feel like I shouldn't look away; like I shouldn't interrupt. "What should I do then? What do you want me to do?" His game hadn't been obvious to me at first - I didn't know he was playing one - but now, it was as clear as day. The bastard wanted me to ask him to kill them. The one thing that made me wary of him; that made me dislike him. The one thing I was absolutely terrified of him for and here I was asking him to do it for me anyway. The hypocrisy. I held his gaze for as long as I could bring myself to, hoping he would back down but he was relentless. At my silence, the curve in his lips only deepened until his smirk was too obvious to deny. "Do whatever you need to do," I said with a deep sigh as I buried my head in my hands in defeat. "Just make them leave me alone. Please."
