Brian Moretti, a man of few words and a ruthless exterior, shields his emotions due to a traumatic past linked to his mother. In the shadows of his haunted existence, he murmurs, "Emotions are a luxury I can't afford." His disdain for women is rooted in a betrayal that echoes in his icy tone, "Love is a weakness, and weakness gets you killed." 



In the intimate dimness, Brian Moretti's eyes bore into Aaisha's, their depths revealing a vulnerability not often seen. "Aaisha," he confessed with a raw sincerity, "my eyes ache when I don't see you. You're a vision that I can't escape, even if I wanted to."



Aaisha, caught between his firm hold and the unyielding walls, felt a maelstrom of emotions within her. Confusion, anger, and perhaps a hint of yearning flickered in her teary eyes. 

"I ache for you, Aaisha. It's more than a desire-it's a craving etched into my soul."



The storm within her erupted into a slap that echoed through the room. The sting of her hand meeting his cheek reverberated.

Facing her captor, Aaisha's eyes blazed with defiance. "I wish I had died before helping you that day. Even if you kidnapped me or tore my body apart, I'll never accept you. That's not love,"

Aaliyah is forced to marry someone who she hasn't yet met, unwilling and disgusted at the thought she does everything in her power to get out of this future and stay with her boyfriend Zane, but her father makes sure she cannot avoid her fate. Killian Knight was nothing but a cruel, ruthless man who didn't care for anyone's life. When he found out he was marrying Aaliyah, he didn't fight it and only did it to become don. She was nothing but a convenience to him and to her, he was her downfall. Nothing could stop this from happening, the marriage and what happens in the future will be unstoppable. She will try to run, and he will chase. A destined future for the two. Killian will do anything to become leader of the Italian mafia, and Aaliyah will do anything to run from the killer that is Killian. But soon, love is in the air and both of them try to deny it, try to run away from their feelings and refuse to come to terms with it. But fate has other plans for these two, unavoidable and inescapable fate. Quote : You are like a rose, so beautifully tempting but the second I came within your space, I was pricked by your sharp, cruel thorns. You drowned me in your toxins, like you were a drink of poison that I kept drinking even when my own heart couldn't take it. You were an ocean that sank me in sorrows. Like the sun, you burned me and left unhealed wounds on my skin, blinding me with your beauty just to leave me reduced to burnt ashes.

"I don't love you," I declare, my voice steady but my resolve wavering. He smiled at me, though his expression was tinged with pain, tears pooling in the depths of his eyes. "I knew it, you still love me so much." I was rendered speechless by his declaration, my efforts to conceal my emotions proving futile as he effortlessly deciphered the truth written in my eyes. "Say it, just once, that you love me, my Sweetheart. Just once, please," he pleaded. I finally surrendered, tears misting my own eyes as all rational thoughts scattered, "I love you. I never stopped loving you." "And I love you infinitely more," he declared, leaning closer towards my lips. I placed a trembling hand over his mouth, halting him in his tracks, and shook my head slowly. "We can't. It's wrong.

The strong pull to her. The desire to have something you never thought you would want again. A glance turned into an obsession. And he would stop at nothing to get her.

Circumstances run in his favor as the woman of his dreams landed into his domain. He would never let her go. A chance glance turned obsession. #1 BWWN! #1 Mafia [4/12/24] *Book excerpt* -- Her cheeks turned red, ever so slightly through her chocolate skin. Her skin looked and felt so smooth. She liked the compliments, the Italian flare. It ropes many women, but the way she looked at me with her big almond eyes had my mind racing and my body in overdrive. She was not immune to my charm, even in her current situation. Her hair was in a slick bun. I was sad not to be able to see the curls adorne her face. And yet she stared at me again, watching me like a dog. Curious gazes. It was fun to tease, and the response I got back over affirmed my teasing. She seemed more relaxed with me. She looked away from me. She stared out the window watching the street ride by. It was silent for a while as I texted my subordinates basic commands. Nothing conspicuous. "Alessio, where are you taking me," her voice piped up. Seems like it took her a while to muster up the courage. I loved her sweet voice when it spoke me me and when she said my name... It was such a turn-on. She wasn't supposed to really ask questions. I don't like lots of questions. I thought about the best way to respond but opted not to say anything at all. She was as stubborn as always, forgetful too. She scanned around me before huffing to herself and looking back out the window. -- Started 06/08/2023- 8/14/2023 Highest Rankings: #7 Arranged [4/26/24] #26 Older #1 Bwwm #13 Man #1 Mafia #1 lovetragedy #6 lovestory #5 Blackwomen
