Characters:

Elena Martinez - A 26-year-old determined and skilled personal assistant. She has been working for a prestigious fashion company for the last three years, assisting the CEO, Victor Rossi.

Luca Rossi - Victor's 28-year-old son. He is charismatic, ambitious, and has recently returned from studying abroad to take over the family business as his father plans to retire.

Diego Martinez - Elena's father, a close childhood friend of Victor. Both families have known each other for decades.

Elena Martinez had always been known for her professionalism, diligence, and quiet determination. For the last three years, she had worked as Victor Rossi's trusted personal assistant. They had developed a strong working relationship, one built on respect and mutual understanding. Victor, now in his late 50s, had made the unexpected announcement that he would be stepping down as CEO to enjoy his well-earned retirement and spend more time with his wife and grandchildren.

What Victor hadn't told Elena yet was that his son, Luca, would be returning from his studies abroad to take over the reins of the company. It wasn't just a professional challenge that awaited Elena-it was a deeply personal one.

Years ago, Elena and Luca had been more than just childhood friends. They had been inseparable during their teenage years, eventually falling into the whirlwind of first love at 17. Their relationship had been full of passion, dreams, and an unspoken promise of forever. But things changed abruptly when one fateful night, a misunderstanding tore them apart. Neither of them had spoken to the other since, their paths diverging with Luca moving away for his studies and Elena focusing on her career.

Now, Luca was coming back-and Elena was unprepared.All Rights Reserved

Untouched, Unbothered {Completed} by psyxhedelicc

Valentina Moretti. She's one colorful character. She moves to Italy right after high school. She goes there to enjoy the scenery, to be thankful that her parents met here, and work just a casual job. What she doesn't expect is when she crosses paths accidentally with a stranger, who crossed paths with her on purpose, eventually becomes something much more than a stranger. Luca Alfonso. Mafia leader, 'bad guy', murderer. He's that but so much more. Luca wouldn't ever expect to fall in love with the girl he was supposed to protect. She was his rock, his princess, his light, his everything. I rewrote that about 4 months later ^ Disclaimer: My story sucks in my opinion. It is my first story, my first characters, brand new ideas, writing skills are basically non existent. If you happen to come across this story, read it and actually like it, I give props to you. completed :')

He doesn't know how much he's breaking my heart right now. "Trinity, I don't know how to show you how much sorry I am." He states, rubbing his face with his hand in frustration. "You can't, your 'sorry' doesn't changed what happened." I point to my face, where the bandage is. "This could have been prevented but you didn't even move a muscle to come and save me." "Trinity, if I did that it could have ruined my plans." He says, lowly. "It doesn't matter. If you truly love me like you say you do, you wouldn't have hesitated to come save me. I was so scared Aaron, I thought I was going to die." I respond, tears spilling before I can stop them. "I do love you Trin, I love you so fucking much." He states, clutching his shirt where his heart is. "Not like the way I love you Aaron. If you were in the position I was in, I wouldn't have fucking hesitated to come save you. I would die for you and you clearly wouldn't do the same." - Trinity's planner didn't originally have "falling in love with Aaron Florence" on it, but after a heated night and multiple dates, it became a daily thing.

Falling Into You (MLQC) (Victor x MC) (Lucien x MC) by producermoo

This is a full story (not a collection of one-shots) in the Mr. Love Queen's Choice universe. I wanted to write a story that will be familiar to players of the game, but also introducing new scenes and events with the characters you know and love. This is a little different than some other writings in the genre, as it only will focus on the main character's relationship with Victor/Li Zeyan and Lucien/Xu Mo. In this story, you'll see events from different parts of season one blended together, and lots of new scenes between the main character, Victor, and Lucien. I tried my absolute hardest to keep the characters as true to their game-selves as possible. When I decided to write this, I thought I would love to write something where the reader would feel as though they were reading something straight out of the game, but in a new way. For that reason, I've also roughly followed the main storyline, but I've taken lots of liberties with the story and changed it to flow with three main characters only. That being said, this is my very first time writing a creative work like this. I know it won't be perfect and may not even be any good, but if anyone out there enjoys it I'll be very happy!
