He wears his father's ring like a crown. She hides her family name like a weapon.

In the blood-soaked streets of Chicago, two rival mafia families have been at war for decades. Giovanni Vitale never wanted the throne, but when his father is assassinated, he's forced to become the youngest Don the city's ever feared. Calculated, deadly, and burdened by legacy, Gio rules with a quiet ruthlessness that demands loyalty-or silence.

Valentina Ferraro is the daughter of his enemy, raised to charm diplomats by day and outsmart killers by night. She's bold, untouchable, and done being a pawn in her family's game.

When fate throws them into a fragile alliance, years of stolen glances and dangerous tension threaten to ignite something neither of them can control. But love in their world doesn't come without blood.

Enemies. Heirs. Lovers.
One wrong move could start a war.
And one secret could burn it all down.

The Faded Vows by lynk992925
18 parts Ongoing
He was waiting outside the OP, there for his student who had been injured during a fight over a phone. As he sat, casually glancing at his own phone, he suddenly heard the faint sound of a baby crying. Curious, he turned toward the sound-and froze. There, outside the pediatric care unit, sat his wife with their son crying in her arms. His heart ached-it had been months since he last saw his son. His gaze shifted to his wife, gently consoling the child. Her face looked tired, pale, and completely drained. Without a second thought, he stood, tears welling in his eyes. Each step he took felt heavy, his chest tightening with every cry from his son. As he neared, he saw her clothes were faded and worn. Her feet were bare, hardened from walking-clearly straight from the farm. His heart clenched. His eyes moved to his son-he had grown so much. She was so focused on calming the baby that she didn't notice him at first. Tears filled her eyes as she held their feverish child close. He softly called her name. Startled, she looked up-and froze. Then she quickly lowered her gaze and tried to get up. He gently placed a hand on her shoulder, stopping her. She sat back down, turning her face away, quietly wiping her tears. He reached out to take their son. The moment he held him, he felt the heat-his little body was burning with fever. A chill ran through him. After all these months, seeing his child like this was unbearable. He loved his wife and son deeply, but his loyalty to his mother-and obedience to her word-always came first. Between a mother who owned his soul and a wife who held his heart, he was a man torn in a cruel war of love and loyalty. And she-she had given her all to a promise whispered beneath the sacred fire... never knowing that one day, she'd be holding her child, with nothing but a faded vow.

"You really think I would've ruined it?" I asked quietly because I needed to know if she meant it. "You think I would've seen you-you-and turned around?" Her lips trembled, just a little. I ran a hand through my wet hair, heart pounding too damn hard. "If I'd known from the start that it was you writing those letters," I admitted, "I would've fallen ten times faster." 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆟 𓆝 What would you do if the guy you've been in love with your whole life barely noticed you existed? Popular, confident, and just a little too perfect. Harry LeBlanc's my best friend's brother, the guy everyone loves, and the one person who's never looked at me the way I look at him. So when a school pen pal project pairs me with someone who actually sees me, I can't help but pour my heart out to this mysterious stranger. He's funny, thoughtful, and just the right amount of flirty. For the first time in years, I feel like I might actually be falling for someone who's not him. But life loves its cruel little games. Between tutoring sessions, late night chats, and the way Harry is starting to look at me like I am more than just his little sister's best friend, things are getting complicated and keeping me up at night. That's without counting on me to find out the most disturbing thing ever. Because, what am I supposed to do when the boy I have loved forever is the one who has been holding all my letters since the very beginning? 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆟 𓆝 This story contains mature themes and inappropriate language, not suitable for all audiences.
