Romance
In the brutal underworld of crime, where power and betrayal reign, Bella Di Luca is an assassin forged by her past of pain and abandonment. Her parents' cruelty pushed her to the edge, and when they orchestrated her kidnapping and torture at the age of 15, Bella was left to survive on her own. Now, as a deadly operative for the Italian Mafia, she carries the weight of her scars-both physical and emotional. Allexei Ivanov, the cold and calculating Pakhan of the Russian Bratva, runs his empire with a firm grip. When their paths collide in Moscow, neither is prepared for the storm that follows. Tension crackles between them from the very first moment: "You think you can control everything, but you forget who you're dealing with." Bella's voice was calm, almost mocking, her eyes locking onto his. "You're not the only one who controls their destiny, Bella. Don't mistake my patience for weakness." As Bella carries out her ruthless missions, she finds herself drawn to the imposing figure of Allexei. His every move is deliberate, his touch controlling, and his words always heavy with meaning. But his obsession with her runs deeper than she could have imagined. Allexei's breath was steady as he squeezed the trigger. The target dropped, lifeless. "No one dares to cross me," he muttered. "No one. And I will make sure of it." But beneath their fierce exterior, something more powerful begins to form. Allexei's dark obsession and Bella's guarded heart are bound by a shared hunger for control and a need for survival. As their worlds collide, neither can resist the pull of the other, but love in their world comes with deadly consequences. Will Bella allow herself to be loved, or will her past consume her? And will Allexei's obsession drive them both over the edge? In a world beneath the ice, where trust is fragile and betrayal is inevitable, only the strongest will survive.

UNEDITED WATTPAD VERSION! (This is the arguably rubbish version, ye be warned.) Includes a sample of the published version as well *** Life would be so much easier if he wasn't around, but even I couldn't deny that my life seemed to truly begin since his arrival. Had Lucifer truly been kicked out of heaven because of his own cravings for power, or had he fled after realizing his true happiness lied elsewhere, in a darker atmosphere? In this world, there is strictly no good or bad, no clear right or wrong. We make poor decisions, hoping it will prove worthy in the end. When it does, we never look back, but when it doesn't, it tears us apart like ravaged hell hounds. Perhaps we're all the product of Lucifer and God alike. Born from beauty only to fall to desire. *** When young baker Rosaria Castellanos is offered a chance to pay her parent's debts to the infamous Romano mafia family by a simple favor, she takes it in a heartbeat. Everyone expected a happy italian wedding, with too much wine to handle and lots of singing. Cater pastries, and don't die? Sounds easy enough. Nobody expected her to catch the eye of the young boss, Giovanni Romano, nicknamed 'The King of New York' for good reason. Unknowingly bound to the mafia by birthright, introduced by a dangerous love, Rosaria's identity will soon be forged. An unlikely heroine, imperfect and anxious, must grow through struggles and gang violence to save those around her. In even the darkest of places, love can bloom. Perhaps even in the mafia. - Side note: Warning: mature sexual scenes, swearing, violence ✨Milestones ✨ Featured on Wattpad's Dangerouslove profile #3 in Thrill -9/7/20 #32 in Mature -9/7/20 #42 in Mafia -3/10/20 #45 in Love -9/7/20 ~ Dates ~ WP Start: October 19th 2019 Finished: December 1st 2020 Published: February 14th 2021
