VERSACE •|• 11th MARCH 2026 by TreKonsi

"If you touch me again," I hissed, my voice razor-sharp, "I'll report you. And I'll make sure you regret it. Now, why don't you go cry to your wife and kids, old man?" I turned to leave, but his hand shot out, gripping my arm and spinning me back around. Before I could react, he pressed me against the wall, his hands braced on either side of my head, trapping me in his iron grip. "Say that again," he growled, his voice low and smooth, yet dangerous enough to send shivers down my spine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ARABELLA VERSACE - Bold, sharp-tongued and unapologetically independent.

Melancholy by justmikame

Elena Romano, a fierce and unyielding lawyer, becomes the only person who can keep Tristan Valenti, a notorious and untouchable mafia kingpin, out of prison. But as she's drawn deeper into his dangerous world, she discovers that the battle isn't just about saving him from the law-it's about saving him from himself. Yet in breaking every rule she's sworn to uphold, Elena risks losing more than her morals-she risks losing her heart to the man who might be beyond redemption. Melancholy - a bittersweet ache that lingers in the soul, like the taste of wine that's both bitter and intoxicating. It's the quiet storm of longing and loss, woven with moments of beauty so fleeting they hurt. Just like what Elena and Tristan want-something so consuming, it borders on destruction. Their love is jagged yet tender, a sanctuary wrapped in shadows where passion wars with despair. It's the sharp edges of love, the bruises of trust, and the haunting allure of wanting what might ruin you, yet never being able to let it go.

Ruthless Obsession by fantasywriter230

Ruth has a past, like all children who grow up in the mafia. Perhaps this is what makes them so similar; the neglect, the abuse, it's what intertwines their souls. It's the reason Angelo is drawn to Ruth. You could even say it's the reason he's obsessed. It's easy to confuse love and obsession. Both start off tantalizingly slow. They creep into your mind when you're least expecting it. Sometimes they can go undetected, sometimes they dig so deep into your skin you have no choice but to fade away in the irreversible decision to love someone, to obsess over someone, to make your mark on someone. Once you get a taste, you'll never be able to stop. --------- Started: December of 2020. #1 in boy trouble #1 in good writing #3 in murder #6 in YA
