The door slammed open just as I aimed the glass at his neck. His grip snapped around my wrist, and before I could react, he shoved me against the door, slamming it shut behind us.
"Is that all you've got, 𝘣𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘢?" His voice dripped with mocking amusement as he tightened his hold on my wrist, his fingers curling around my throat.
I glared up at him, my heart pounding in my ears. "Fuck you," I spat, my voice low and defiant.
He leaned in closer, the heat of his breath against my skin. "I'm sure you'd love to," he replied, his tone a dangerous mix of challenge and desire.


Arinah doesn't remember much from her past-only broken memories and occasional nightmares that keep her up at night. Raised in an abusive home, she always dreamed of escape. The only one who ever gave her hope was her childhood best friend, Vicenzo.

10 years ago they made a plan to run away together, to steal one of his father's yachts and escape both the crime world and her tormenting family. But their plan failed, and everything changed. Being left to die in a dark alley in the middle of the night, Ari was sold to underground crime rings, where she was introduced into a brutal life of cruelty and fear.

Enzo, now the leader of the Italian mafia, believed she was dead. The pain of their shared past haunted him until the day he spotted her at an underground auction. Without hesitation, he kidnaps her, determined to protect her-even if it means becoming the enemy in her eyes.

Ari, now stuck in an unfamiliar place with a not so unfamiliar person, begins to have her memories resurface, leading her to the truth about her past. And the truth is darker than she ever imagined.

She was lost and so was he. Who knew that two broken hearts can connect to one. Arabella's world has been rigged since the day she was born. Her fate had been decided for her much longer before she even had been conceived in the womb. So it came as no surprise when she found herself back at the beginning. As if the pain she has previously experienced wasn't enough, she now needs to relearn how to balance her life. She can't help but pray to the universe for a break. She was exhausted from fighting for all she had and watching her life fall apart just as quickly as it had come back together. Dominic's life was something he would forever be grateful for since he knew that he never had it as rough as others. But there were always going to be times that he wanted to give up. With the responsibility of leading an entire mafia and his own past commitment issues, he believes the barrier to letting go is far greater than what others tell him. And when new desires emerge, he notes how his heart skips a beat whenever he sees her. His instinct kicks in, and he raises his barriers twice as high as she lowers hers to make place for him. All I was guilty of, was showing them mercy when no one else would. ~~~ "I saw you, Dominic. I wish you saw me." "I see you." I freeze at his words, my back facing him. "I can only see you. Everything I look at, everything I touch, everything I smell always leads back to you. I spent most of my life thinking that my heart was my biggest weakness. I always imagined that it would be my downfall. I had a loving family and that was enough for me. Getting a girlfriend, getting married, having a family, none of that mattered to me. Before you." He pauses, taking a breath and my eyes water. "I kept any other part of my heart guarded and almost locked. It was as if I didn't have one at all. Even now, its still fucked up. The lock I've kept is warned out though the only person who has its key is you. It's yours."

She liked the compliments, the Italian flare. It ropes many women, but the way she looked at me with her big almond eyes had my mind racing and my body in overdrive. She was not immune to my charm, even in her current situation. Her hair was in a slick bun. I was sad not to be able to see the curls adorne her face. And yet she stared at me again, watching me like a dog. Curious gazes. It was fun to tease, and the response I got back over affirmed my teasing. She seemed more relaxed with me. She looked away from me. She stared out the window watching the street ride by. It was silent for a while as I texted my subordinates basic commands. Nothing conspicuous. "Alessio, where are you taking me," her voice piped up. Seems like it took her a while to muster up the courage. I loved her sweet voice when it spoke me me and when she said my name... It was such a turn-on. She wasn't supposed to really ask questions. I don't like lots of questions. I thought about the best way to respond but opted not to say anything at all. She was as stubborn as always, forgetful too. She scanned around me before huffing to herself and looking back out the window. -- Started 06/08/2023- 8/14/2023 Highest Rankings: #7 Arranged [4/26/24] #26 Older #1 Bwwm #13 Man #1 Mafia #1 lovetragedy #6 lovestory #5 Blackwomen
