He joined the mafia to kill... not to fall in love.
Ivaan was only twelve years old when his world turned to ashes - his parents, murdered in cold blood. That night, a part of him died too. Years passed, and so did his innocence. Now, at 24, he's a rising name in the underworld - calm, ruthless, and burning with one purpose: revenge.
But fate has a cruel sense of timing.
Ira - a 20-year-old hotel management student with a fearless heart and an odd fascination for the mafia world he calls home. Their worlds were never meant to collide... yet somehow, they do.
She's drawn to his silence.
He's drawn to her light.
But both are unaware of things they can't run from.
He was never supposed to feel.
She was never supposed to matter.
But destiny doesn't follow rules - it rewrites them.
As Ivaan inches closer to uncovering the truth he's lived for, he finds himself at war - not with guns, but with feelings he never thought he'd have. And in a world ruled by blood, betrayal, and blurred lines...
love might just be the deadliest game of all.
Will Ivaan choose the vengeance he's lived for...
Or the girl he never saw coming?
Because sometimes, the heart falls...
right into the fire.

Hired By A Mafia Boss
⚠️⚠️I apologize beforehand. This story is under subtle reconstruction, so please do not get confused if you see changes midway. It's still the most beautiful love story you'd read, so please give it a chance.⚠️⚠️ "What in the world, kid?" The roar erupted from the sleek Lamborghini as its owner, a man who could easily pass for a Greek deity, emerged from the luxurious vehicle. Scratch that, he practically embodied one. But wait, did he just refer to me as a 'kid'? For heaven's sake, I'm 23! "Are you out of your damn mind?" I snapped back to reality as his furious voice pierced through. Despite his mesmerizing Italian accent, my anger still simmered. How could he? After nearly running me over, he had the audacity to label me a child and throw in some profanity. In response, I resorted to the one skill I had mastered - I stuck my tongue out at him before sauntering away. What an insufferable jerk. ***** Allow me to introduce Ava Hilton, a seemingly ordinary 23-year-old who could easily be mistaken for a typical teenager any day, any time. A young woman from humble beginnings, leading an unassuming life. Now, meet Dreidan Vaughn, aged 30, the nation's wealthiest billionaire and the formidable head of the Italian Mafia. Feared and revered by all, he bore the moniker of the continent's ultimate enforcer. What unfolds when, in the midst of a frantic pursuit of a $20 million contract, he almost knocks down Ava, a woman he hastily judged as a child? Instead of receiving an anticipated apology, she cheekily stuck her tongue out at him and walked away. Oh he was going to make her pay one way or another! That moment marked the inception of a love story unlike any other.

Under Your Watch: Bulletproof Lies (On-Going)
He was born into the shadows. She was raised to uncover them. In a world where loyalty is bought with blood and silence is survival, their paths were never meant to cross. He was the quiet, cold son of a mafia family-someone who'd learned early that emotions were weaknesses best buried. She, on the other hand, was everything he wasn't: bright, kind, and fearless, a girl who smiled through the cruelty of others, even when her name was whispered with envy and hate. Her classmates despised her brilliance, mocked her joy, and tore her down in ways that left invisible scars. But while she stood alone against it all, she never knew someone had been watching-someone who made sure every hand raised against her never went unpunished. He protected her from the shadows, fought for her without ever being seen, and somewhere between the silence and violence, something inside him began to change. But time has a way of turning light into distance. Years later, he's the ruthless successor to his family's empire. She's a secret agent, trained to bring down that very same empire. Neither recognizes the other-until a mission gone wrong exposes her, and he takes her captive. Now, behind locked doors and under his watch, lies and truth blur like gunfire in the night. Between the crosshairs of duty and desire, they'll discover that the most dangerous kind of love... is the one you're forbidden to have.
