„Loving him means marrying Marcello"


Rose Coronata was a girl like many of us - a girl with a broken heart, shattered in pieces, but still a lover girl deep down.



Nathan Luxe is the heir to the Luxe legacy. Arrogant, selfish, and completely focused on his rising soccer career. But it's hard to stay focused when you're hiding things - from his coaches, his family, and even the girl he once loved. What happens when those secrets catch up to him? Will he be able to outrun them?




Marcello Finezza is a man of his word. In his world, if you don't have loyalty, you have nothing. He's a simple man - until one encounter changes everything. From the moment he met her, he couldn't forget her. He gave her his unspoken promise to protect her.
But what if love and business don't mix?

(BOOK 1 OF MAFIA LOVE SERIES) [COMPLETED & EDITING] * "Arie," he whispered, his smile dropping as he closed the distance between us. "I'm sor..." My right hand met his left cheek brutally, stopping all that he had to say. "How dare you?" I hissed, landing another smack on the same spot. "How could you do this to me?" I raised my hand up again to place another one, but he caught my wrist before I could do so. "Plan your next move very carefully," he spoke in a low, belligerent tone tightening his grip on my wrist, daring me to slap him again. Pain jolted from the area, forcing tears to sting at the corner of my eyes. "Or what?" I scowled at him. "You don't want to find out." He took a step closer, staring into my eyes. "And don't tempt me!" * Today was the day it all started. Everything began to fall apart. It twisted me, threw me against the wall, and ripped my sanity and innocence to shreds. I never thought I'd go through it, but there I was in the middle of it all. Arie Noelle is a wise, strong-willed girl with a good heart, but a misfortunate incident leading up to others tears her apart. What happens when she finds herself on the radar of Leo Bonferroni, a ruthless mafia leader hiding behind the mask of a sexy tycoon, who is not only intrigued but also smitten by her? However, they begin to change each other, molding into something else. She does things she never dreamt of doing. He places the world at her feet, but will she accept it or kick it away in fear? The rising tension between the two kills her inside, but will she give into the sexy temptation walking around with an irresistible smirk that mushes her into a puddle? Will they ever find her destroyer or will she end up on the noose herself? Warning: Strong language, sexual content, rape, and graphic violence.

Loving Marcello by aataaraaxy

After having her heart broken by the boy she'd been in love with her whole life, Brimmy Somell decides to take a little...vacation. Little does she know, it turns out to be much more permanent than she had originally thought. After meeting tall, sexy, and mysterious Marcello Pietro, Brimmy finds herself having to make a life-changing decision and putting herself in a dangerous position she'd never imagined to be in. °•°●°•°●°•°●°•° "I love you." He says with no hesitation. It takes a moment for my hazy mind to catch up. I'm still in a daze, mesmerized by his perfections, and the deep dimple set in his cheek. I blink, "What?" "Don't make me say it again." He says, sounding frustrated, but I catch the hint of embarassment in his voice as he runs his hand through his hair and takes a step back. I grab a hold of the neckline to his shirt and yank him back within close proximity of me. "What if I want you to say it again?" I ask, studying his eyes. "Isn't it enough that I said it once?" He scowls, trying to pull back, but I restrain him from doing so. "Nope. Just say it one more time and I'll be satisfied." I state bravely, feeling a boost of confidence I didn't have earlier. He glances down, then looks back up into my eyes, allowing me to spot the vulnerability and uncertainty he feels. "I love you." He says, putting more strength in his voice than he looks to have. I grin, pulling him in for a kiss, but right before I do, I say the one phrase that will seal my fate, "I love you too, big, bad mafia boss." ••••• The story may be rough but the comment section makes up for it. ••••• Word count: 51,173 ••••• Written and published 2018-2019

Live For It by LyEr7107

He seemed like the devil. He was evil. Cruel. She was always portrayed as a weapon. A tool. An occasional use. One wrong turn -literally- and everything changes. What happens when she finally decides to stand up for herself? The once known 'shy' assassin is now a runaway killer. Will she be able to protect the people she loves while fighting for her title? That arrogant and dangerous man, Zion Armani, who has a past trailing to hers...They meet again. Forgiveness is a difficult concept. Two broken souls from two different sides. Many failed attempts, many murderous frenzies, and many unretrievable mistakes. Her concept of life is far-fetched compared to others, one of the many things that makes her so human and so real, even if she was taught to refuse it. Could she battle the wars in the underground world while an addicting man fought against her? A chase? Not necessarily. Will she find a reason to keep going? Will Zhara Di Maggio find something --or someone-- to believe in? Will the Golden Raven prove her fate wrong and find her own reason to live? ~~~ Zion Armani, even the darkest hide from his shadows. Zhara Di Maggio, the only brightness left. "You know how to live, you're just too scared to do it."

Lie to Him, Moan for Me! by whwrite

PERFECT LIFE. PERFECT BOYFRIEND. All it took was his best friend transferring back to turn her world upside down. Maya has everything she's ever wanted-a devoted boyfriend, a steady future, a love story that's supposed to last. Liam is safe, familiar, right. Then Nathan shows up. Liam's best friend. Cold, sharp, impossible to ignore. From the start, he gets under her skin, challenging her, frustrating her-tempting her in ways she refuses to acknowledge. She hates him. He doesn't like her either. At least, that's what they keep telling themselves. But tension has a way of unraveling, and some lines-once crossed-can never be undone. "We shouldn't," he breathes against my lips. But he doesn't move away. "I don't care," I whisper back... 🔥 Mature Content | Slow-Burn | Enemies to Forbidden Lovers 🔥

The Corner Store by The_Outkast

I fell for a boy with the kindest blue eyes, and a charming dimple. He made me feel loved, and cared for, and most importantly he made me feel safe in his presence. He came right in the middle of a tornadoe and managed to turn it into blue skies. He changed my perspective and gave me hope and strength." I looked at him, and he was smiling, and his eyes were a little glossy. He took my hand and kissed it, a small tear caught in the corner of his beautiful eyes. "I thought, hey, maybe life isn't so bad after all. Maybe I can finally allow myself to love and be loved, and to live life normally. When we went to your party, you told me to wait for you. But then your perverted cousin made me feel super uncomfortable, so I went looking for you, just to be able to feel at peace again. And that's when I saw it." My heart beats skyrocketed, because this was the moment everything changed forever. "Saw what?" Asked Axel. I took a deep breath, and continued.

Follow them as they navigate through trials and tribulations as they reflect the epiphany of what it's like to... Are they just playing with fire or are they going to get burnt? ***** And a second later he pushed his face onto mine and planted a kiss on my lips. It was hard, and not romantic at all, very forceful but I didn't stop him. It was short lived one so I regained my senses fairly late and when I did, I realized that I was kissing a stranger or that a stranger was kissing me. "Stop," I pulled back and moved my head, "I hardly know you." Nathan fixed his suit, "I couldn't hold back, it was involuntary." "Nathan this is strictly business. Anymore and it could ruin my job." "Did you not say that you didn't like your job?" ~Includes some adult scenes ~Trigger Warning ⚠️ (2k16-19) *****

The Thorned Rose by Princess10012345

When a cold-hearted assassin who has suppressed every single emotion, kills someone the Mafia didn't want dead, there is a slight battle for power, but when Don Sandrino, the head of part of the mafia, realises the man she killed was evil, he starts searching for her, wanting the infamous 'Thorned Rose' assassin on his side to try and take back his birthright of being the boss of bosses that his uncle stole away from him. Savannah is bored as an assassin working for a company, just killing random politicians, and wants something exciting, and that something is in the form of Don Sandrino. There is drama, tragedy, fighting and romance littering every chapter. The only thing is, Savannah doesn't know how to love, she has suppressed that emotion, along with every single other emotion, and she doesn't know who she really is as she has had to live under alias names for so long, always pretending to be someone else. She just does not know who the real Savannah is. Can Don Sandrino pull it out of her? Can he make her love again? Or will their dysfunctional romance end in death and heartbreak? *** "You know, anyone who calls me Fabricio usually ends up dead, or really hurt, anyone who dares call me Pugliesi gets their tongue chopped off and forced to swallow it, then they die," said a voice from behind me. "Well, Fabricio Sandrino Pugliesi Russo, what are you going to do to me now?" I asked, raising one of my eyebrows. "Is playing chicken one of your favourite games?" he asked, laughing. "Yes, because I always win." He laughed again. What the fuck is going on? I never make people laugh, well I never have anyone around to talk to except Nadia, who never laughs at anything, but still. "I'm waiting for you to chop my tongue out, Fabricio," I was toying with him, seeing whether his threats were real. *** THIS IS AN ACTION ROMANCE, WITH GRUESOME SCENES AND SEXUAL SCENES.
