In life, you have the good, the evil, and the normal. But let me ask you this: what really is good? On the other hand what even is considered evil? Is evil bad or good? Now here might be where you say evil is obviously bad. But if I were to commit a bad deed would I be conserved evil? Here you might say well that depends on how many bad deeds you've committed. Ahh, but there's the problem. I've committed multiple bad acts but all were for a good cause. What then? Am I evil or simply misunderstood? Would killing multiple people for the betterment of society count me as a murderer or a hero? That's the question. We look these days at heroes and villains at good guys and bad guys, the good always trying to protect and the bad well, they always trying to harm the innocent. So let me reframe my little scenario, would harming or killing the convicted mean I'm a villain? Or a hero? Which is which, that is the question. 
    
I am neither a hero nor a villain. I am neither white nor black, I am the Grey, the nether, the both. 

                                                                           This is my story.

The Mafia's Mercy by Laisha_Gardner
11 parts Complete Mature
The darkness in his eyes, the dangerous smell of alcohol in his breath, and his deathly grip keeping me bound to him made my heart pound in my chest and my body quiver beneath him. Shamefully, it wasn't anything that I wasn't used to, because...the things I let him do to me? When he was frustrated, annoyed, and angry at the world, I was here to be his pound of flesh. In return, he masked the void of my loneliness because for months, that was the transaction of our relationship. He'd pin me to the wall, bend me over the counter, pull my hair, slap me, choke me, and I enjoyed every second of it because in that moment, it finally felt good to be powerless. Irony is a funny thing. I enjoyed being in pain because it made me forget how much I was hurting. *** "I warned you, doll." His voice strikes a string of chills down the base of my spine, a reminder that all of the time in the world could pass, and he's still not letting go. This is where the good girl in me dies. "You're mine now," he whispers. *** My name is Mercy-Mercy Carter. I went to college. Got myself a useless Bachelor of Science in Mathematics degree. His name is Marcel-Marcello Saldívar. However, at the time, I didn't know that he, the heir to the Saldívar Mafia empire, was the man that I had blindly offered myself to. As smart as I am, I was stupid all the times when it actually mattered. After all, he did warn me that he was dangerous. I just didn't think he could be much worse than my thug of a brother. I was vulnerable-naive. My name is Mercy, and I belong to him. My name is Mercy, and I am The Mafia's Mercy. ⚠️ Content Advisory: This is a DARK Romance novel, in every sense of the word.

"The way he stiffens stirs something in me. Guilt maybe? I still might not be aware of what I've done, but I do know I don't regret doing it. So how is this man making me feel guilty with just a glance? The past is the past, but right now he's the enemy." After the devastating Carpa Malum killed 70% of the population, the world was left in disarray. Elders gone and children dead, and their remaining families left in the hands of a tyrannical government run by blood lust. A handful of the survivors, however, were found out to possess powers others could only dream to have. Castelle has little left to live for, wiling away her days in the slums of Trinity Central, but after being discovered, death isn't an option. She's taken in to fight for the government she's always loathed while a quiet rebellion starts to simmer in the streets. Thinking she knows what side she belongs to, her opinions of both are keen to change. Battling morals, friends, love, and herself, watch as Castelle fails to remember the word "justice".
