Mature
Calliope Andrews, 21, has never been allowed to breathe on her own. Her parents kept her on a short leash her entire life- obedience demanded, independence denied. An arranged marriage was simply the icing on the cake for things they made her do. But who was she to be defiant about it. She was raised to listen and obey, so that's what she would do.

Silas Viscuso, 26 years old. A business man in public, mafia in private. Cold. Controlled. Calculated- guarded. Raised to value power over affection, survival over softness. His past makes him who he is today, distant; deciding to never let another woman that close. That was until she came.

Calliope, a sheltered girl with a gentle heart.
Silas, a hardened man with a shattered past.
Them, a connection that neither knows how to handle.

"You want to act reckless? Fine. But don't think for a second you're not being watched. This city is full of men who'd love to carve a message into you just to make a point." "And what message would you carve?" I whispered. He reached out. Brushed the back of his knuckles down my jaw, rough and slow. "Mine." It wasn't sweet. It wasn't romantic. It was a brand. And then he dropped his hand. "You have ten minutes to get out of here before I make a fucking scene." ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚ Massimo Bianchi is ruthless, the kind of man who leaves blood in his wake and never looks back. At 29, he's the trusted enforcer for one of the most feared mafia bosses in America - my father, Lorenzo DeLuca, the ghost I never knew but can never escape. I, Francesca DeLuca, have spent my life in the shadows of wealth, too blind to see the truth behind my family's fortune. But when I confront the mysterious man who's been following me, I'm thrown into a world of blood and betrayal, where loyalty is bought and sold like a commodity. Massimo is everything I should fear - cold, dangerous, and bound by an oath to my father. But there's something in the way he looks at me, a dark hunger he refuses to acknowledge. I should hate him, push him away, but the deeper I fall into my family's twisted legacy, the harder it is to resist the pull. But loving a man like Massimo is a risk, and in our world, mistakes are paid for in blood. So the question is - will I be his downfall, or will he be mine?

(COMPLETED & UNEDITED) His full lips were curled into a smirk as he grabbed her by the arm roughly. "And who might you be?"

She wanted to break free from him and run to her father, but she knew that would only cause a bigger mess for her to clean up and she did not want to get into trouble with Dominic. Her father already was. She watched as he slowly turned to her father and laughed. "De Luca I didn't know your little daughter was so adorable," he said while her father just groaned out in pain.

"I forced a smile, cool and poised. "Glad to know you're keeping track of my entrances now," I said, my tone light but edged. Luciano tilted his head, his smirk deepening. "Hard not to," he replied smoothly. "You do have a way of... demanding attention." I took a small step closer, the red of my gown catching the light between us like a warning flare. "Careful," I said softly, my gaze unwavering. "You might start sounding like you actually admire me." He chuckled under his breath - low and dangerous - before leaning in just enough for only me to hear. "Don't flatter yourself, Valentina," he murmured. "You really think wearing red makes you bold? It just makes you look desperate to be seen" he scoffs Luciano Romano was born into power - sculpted by expectation, sharpened by loss, and taught that mercy was weakness. After his father's death, he inherited not just the empire, but the ghosts that came with it. Cold, controlled, and terrifyingly precise, he rules with quiet authority and iron restraint. To the world, he's untouchable - the perfect heir. To those who know him, he's a man trapped between duty and the shadows of his own making. He doesn't love. He commands. Until her. Valentina DeLuca was never meant to be a pawn. Raised in a rival mafia family, she learned how to survive in a world built by men who mistake silence for obedience. Behind her beauty lies fire - sharp, cunning, and impossible to cage. When her marriage to Luciano seals the alliance between their families, she enters his world not as a bride, but as a weapon wrapped in silk. She refuses to kneel. He refuses to break. And yet, when fire meets stone, something has to give. What begins as an arrangement born of strategy becomes a dangerous dance between two people who should have been enemies - but instead find themselves drawn to the one person powerful enough to destroy them both.
