UNTIL DEATH ( Love should Never be this deathly ) by Rosiecheeks91
13 parts Ongoing Mature
UNTIL DEATH ( LOVE SHOULD NEVER BE THIS DEATHLY ) Love is often described as a profound and pure connection shared between two soulmates, characterized by selflessness and a desire to bring joy to one another. It embodies the essence of putting the needs of your beloved above your own, creating a bond that feels both sacred and exhilarating. However, love can also take a darker turn, transforming into a dangerous obsession that blurs the lines between affection and possession. Imagine a promise to yourself that no one can take your beloved away, a vow that they are yours for eternity, regardless of the circumstances. This intense devotion can spiral into a lethal fixation, where any perceived threat to the relationship ignites a fierce protective instinct-one that could lead to tragic consequences. Rosa Andrew, a 24-year-old embodiment of beauty and kindness, whose free-spirited nature and captivating smile draw admirers like moths to a flame. However, her life takes an unforeseen turn when she unwittingly captures the attention of not one, but two ruthless and powerful mafia leaders-Vincent Salvatore and Massimo Rosario. Each is determined to claim her as their queen, swearing never to let her go. This unfolding drama raises the stakes: Who will emerge victorious in this battle for Rosa's heart? Will the consuming forces of love, obsession, and possession ultimately lead to destruction, engulfing all in their fiery grasp, or will Rosa find a way to navigate this perilous love triangle and safeguard her own future?

I dreamed of him again last night. He came to me in his riveting form, dressed in the liturgical signature black attire. His dark hair slicked back, accentuating the alluring frame of his chiseled jaw, with the figure of a sculpted deity, just as I'd remembered him. His invigorating smile was seducing me, taunting me, reigniting the sparks that had been scuffled by the lingering absence of his affinity. His daunting eyes consumed me, staring, burning with the intensity of a thousand flames. His beguiling features were enticing, drawing me in, and I was falling deeper, further into his arms until he was drifting and faded away in the shadows. Mornings after were imbued with feverish yearning that waned throughout the day, leaving me to a dreadful emptiness, a void that failed to dissipate during the two years apart. It had been the longest winter without him. All Adriana wanted was to be free. But it came with a cost, one that she hadn't expected to so deeply regret. The very life that she had once tremendously despised was now what she craved the most. But things are different after being away, for she is no longer the helpless, vulnerable girl taken nearly two years ago by the man who now holds her heart on a thread. The man who made a promise. A promise that he couldn't keep. She remembers everything from the moment she was rescued from the claws of one evil to the nightmarish events that transpired in the hands of another. As her dark past collides with the present and her love for the ruthless Mob Boss is put to a test, Adriana has to confront the demons that were responsible for her ruin and make an irreversible decision that will seal her ultimate fate. This is the second book to Il Paradosso Mafia Series. #1 omerta #2 crimefiction
