dystopia love mob romance triangle

Fifty years ago Jimmy Kuchar led a revolution. He had imagined a fair world for everyone, one in which no one was allowed to slip through the cracks. The revolution succeeded, but now all that remains of his legacy is a fractured nation and a family fallen into obscurity. His home, Hale City, is controlled by warring two factions: a corrupt, overreaching government, and the Shine, a powerful mob ruled by an infamous gangster. The city is in turmoil, its soul up for grabs.

Marion Kuchar-Ross doesn’t care about politics. She’s an indentured servant at the Academy, a school for the children of Hale’s elite. With sixteen years left on her contract and nothing to look forward to but a short jaunt into the city every Sunday, she leads a small life. Then she meets John. John is handsome, impossibly popular, and wealthy. He’s also entirely off-limits.

John wants more than friendship from Marion, and he doesn't care that the Academy stands in their way. All he has to do is convince her he's a good man (or at least not an evil one) and get her to trust him with her freedom. He's up to the challenge, if his secrets don’t tear them apart first.

Their friendship has drawn the attention of Edward Sebok, Hale's despotic police commissioner. Sebok has a grudge against John, and Marion is the perfect way to get even. Marion soon finds herself caught in a vicious battle between the two most powerful men in the city. It's war, and it's her future at stake…All Rights Reserved

I bit my tongue, regretting that remark. "The other girls can't possibly compare to my pretty girl." He ignores the question, his eyes scanning my face for any signs of a reaction to his charm. "My lovely.." He pulled my arm towards him. I felt a slow kiss on the back of my hand. "Sweet.." then another on the other hand. "-golden heart girl." He looked up through his eyelashes. I stay silent as I looked around the room, avoiding eye contact. He placed his free hand on my waist, the other still holding my hand. "Shall I call them over while I have you bent over this bed?" He says planting a kiss on my stomach, going lower each time. I run my free hand through the back of his hair, gently pulling his head back slightly, forcing him to look back up at me. He had a dangerously evil smile on. I knew my cheeks were going red, I pushed him away and rushed towards the the door. "You always do this." I mumble quietly, trying to catch my breath which I lost in the heat of the moment. "Would you be lying to me if you said you didn't like it?" He replied, walking over to me. I kept my mouth shut. ~ ~ ~ Most confusing Love V/ triangle trope you'll ever find¡¡ Sequels out!¡ !!Inspiration from Nikkireadw!!

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.

You can skip those chapters and carry on to the next one. Shattered Pieces will be updated once a week. This story is nearly complete on my computer. ############################################################################### This is the first story that I have ever written. I look forward to your comments, but please be kind. It is not perfect. All negative comments will be deleted. The idea of this story came to me when New Zealand went into Lockdown due to Cover 19. While the rest of the country had to stay at home, the few of us who were classified as essential workers kept the country running. This story helped me cope with the added stress of all the restrictions in place. Enjoy, and please don't forget to vote and leave comments. This story is completely my idea, so NO copying it onto any other platform. A big shout out to my friend, who has been with me the whole way and has encouraged me to carry on with the story when I nearly gave up on it. @DrWhoEmily No 1 # Worrior
