when the fire meets petrol🔪 by InkedByRaksha

"When their eyes meet, fire is ready to destroy. Sparks ignite, and in the explosion that follows, the world burns-yet they remain, eternal in their love."

In the heart of Italy's ruthless mafia underworld, Violet is just a pharmacy student trying to survive her daily grind-until she meets Luca. Dark, dangerous, and impossibly magnetic, Luca hides a world of violence and power behind those piercing blue eyes. When their paths collide, a fierce passion ignites, but love in Luca's world comes with a deadly price. As enemies close in and secrets unravel, Violet must choose-run from the fire or become the flame that burns it all down.

She wanted a quiet life - no chaos, no questions, just peace. But the past has a way of catching up, and it started the day a stranger walked through her door. Things she thought were buried begin to surface. Memories. Doubts. Truths no one ever told her. He hadn't meant to find her. But once he did, walking away wasn't an option. Not when her past carried the weight of everything he tried to forget. Some ties are made by blood. And some are impossible to break.

From the moment Aurora Romano could walk, she was warned to stay away from him. Luca De Luca - the ruthless heir to Italy's deadliest mafia family. Cold. Cruel. Deadly. And terrifyingly silent. He never spoke to her. Not a word. Not a glance. Not even when they were children playing in the same villa courtyard. While others chased her with laughter, he stood in the shadows, watching. Always watching. To her, he hated her. His silence screamed of disdain. His sharp gaze felt like a knife. His presence made her heart race-for all the wrong reasons. But what she didn't know was that Luca had been obsessed with her for years. From the moment she smiled at him when they were eight and he didn't know how to smile back. Now, ten years later, she's grown into a fierce beauty-still soft-hearted, still scared of him. And Luca? He's no longer just the quiet boy in the corner. He's a man feared by everyone, even his enemies. Ruthless. Heartless. Unforgiving. She thought he hated her. But the truth is far darker. He was never ignoring her. He was waiting.

He grew up in warmth-the scent of fresh bread, the rhythm of kneading dough, the simplicity of life in his father's bakery in France. His parents divorced when he was young, but he stayed, drawn to the quiet artistry of baking. He had no desire for power, only the satisfaction of creating something beautiful. She was raised in a world of crime. Her father, a feared and powerful man, taught her that weakness was fatal. She spent her life by his side, learning to lead with intelligence and ruthlessness. She was not just his daughter-she was his heir. Their marriage was a deal. Her father arranged it to secure an alliance, choosing him precisely because he was neutral, harmless. He wanted no part of their world, and she had no interest in his. They were opposites-fire and flour, control and creation. Yet, over time, she saw his devotion to his craft, his ability to create beauty in a world she had only ruled with force. He saw the weight of expectation she carried. She didn't need saving. He didn't want power. But in a world built on blood, she was the queen-and he became the only man unafraid of her crown.
