He was a native European, a spoiled troublemaker who didn't hesitate to ridicule those he disliked. She was born in the distant steppes of the Soviet lands of that time, raised under the strict upbringing of Russian schooling. By a twist of fate, unfortunate and destructive, Alina Belikova found herself in France under the care of her grandmother, and although her knowledge of French was sufficient to blend into the new school, the cane in her hand and her exotic narrow eyes inevitably drew the attention of the main troublemaker of the lyceum - Joseph Descamps.

"I think I'm spot on." He breathed. "Is that what you want? For me to touch you?" There are so many things wrong in this situation. The place, the time but a part of me couldn't care less and that sickened me. The pit in my stomach deepened but I felt slick beneath my skirt. I should hate him for making me see what I did, for letting me watch such a horrific sight. I want to burn him for being this way, for making me like him so much that anything he does could be looked through rose colored glasses. God, he was toxic. ✥ 𝐀𝐗𝐄𝐋 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐎, a rutheless mafia leader with a cold and dangerous heart must protect his butterfly what happens when he must protect her from himself as well?

Her Notebook of Goodbyes
Emilio never cared. About school. About people. About anyone. He was popular, cold, and untouchable-his life ran in perfect routine. Until the day he knocked over a girl with smudged eyeshadow and messy hair. A girl everyone bullied. A girl named Mariel. What caught his attention wasn't her face, her tears, or her silence. It was the notebook she carried-the one filled with suicide notes. "Don't die yet," he whispered. Simple. Cold. Almost careless. But that was the start of everything. From that moment, Mariel kept writing, and Emilio kept watching. At first, it was coincidence. Then, it wasn't. She didn't know if he was protecting her or ruining her life even more, but one thing was certain-his presence kept her alive. Every page in her notebook was another goodbye she almost made. Every step he took beside her was another reason to stay. But what happens when she finally writes her last goodbye... and fate decides to steal the only reason she chose to live?
