artforgery artist conman crime florence forgery grifters murder renaissance

The Contessa and her confederates had a good scam going. They invented a Renaissance artist, "discovered" him, and are now selling his art.

She's settled down to a good life -- a villa in the Florentine countryside, money enough, no cares.

Until a buyer has started to ask questions. Uncomfortable ones. And her confederates begin to feel the pressure. And what was once a tight-knit crew has begun to fall apart.

And the Contessa has been forced to take some extreme measures....All Rights Reserved

I took a deep breath."Antonio I...I'm pregnant."His smile suddenly faded and his brown eyes turned darker by the second. He removed my hands from his."She was right. I can't believe that manipulative bitch was right I thought you were different. I thought you weren't like that."I looked at him in confusion. "What the hell are you talking about Antonio?"I asked him without beating around the bush. "You know exactly what I'm talking about. You used and trapped me all at once and like the idiot I was. I allowed you to."He yelled, with venom lacing his words."I don't want to see you and I don't want anything to do with that thing inside of you."I was on the verge of tears but didn't want to show him that."I want all your things gone when I return home." **** Venus Angelopolis is forced into a marriage for her brother's life because of a feud that started years ago between the two families.

Behind The Pseudonyms by Bellisima1009

WARNING: This story contains explicit material and some languages which may not be appropriate to everyone. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. This is my first story ever. I hope you enjoy reading every part of this psychological thriller. Comments and suggestions are most welcome. Reproduction of any part of this original story is prohibited. PROLOGUE Head investigator, Brent Sherwood found a very distraught young woman at the crime scene. She was hiding in the walk-in closet behind the hanging wardrobes of the dead man. Her eyes were wary and scared. He asked for her name. "Nikola", she whispered in thick Italian accent. Her voice was full of anguish and despair . "Are you the dead man's daughter?" Brent asked the young woman whose exotic beauty was covered with sweat, tears and great fear. She shook her head and mumbled, "Wife". There's a pang of regret that stuck in his throat. In that moment of disbelief, he immediately erased that first impression to console a bereaved woman. Whoever believes in love at first? Such foolishness should be deleted off his mind. His feelings must not cloud his judgement. He must act in accordance to his job even if it's his first time to admire a woman after 3 years in solitude. Did she kill her husband? That's the question he must unravel before focusing on his own personal motive.

Will the heist succeed? How will she react if her brother violates the Professor's most important rule?

English is not my first language, so I ask for your understanding regarding any potential errors. This is also my first attempt at writing a story, and considering the limited number of fanfics for the series, I decided to write one myself. **Trigger Warning:** This story contains themes such as violence, sexual harassment, death, blood, explicit language, etc. #1Berlin

The Gentleman Killer by LaraJayJackson7

INTRODUCTION: Missing person reports were just piling up one after another these days. But none of the victims were found alive. After the killer got what he wanted from victim's family, the next day person would be found dead. People are starting to move out from the city. It's gotten worse as hours passed. Phones are ringing at the police stations and 911 calls are getting more and more desperate. Not many things were found out about this town's killer. But, the way people are describing him- yes him- shows that they all see him as an old man called the Gentleman. He got this name from the way he puts his deceased victims bodies. Lying on their back, carefully placed, hair brushed and clean, face without any makeup, but covered with black veil, white nightie with small bouquet in their arms that are placed on their chest. Beautifully horrific sight if you ask me. They all appeared to be women in their early or mid 20s, brunettes with blue eyes, skinny and average height. The Gentleman is described as someone in his late 30s or early 40s, is into art, but mostly sculptures as he shows by placing his victims in recognizable positions. On most of dead women's necks could be seen small tattoos that were assotiated with life and death- butterfly with its wings painted like skull. That was all that we knew of the Gentleman until something happened few days ago...
