Maria- [noun] feminine name; of Mexican origin. Meaning: bitter
There are so many books about girls who accidentally get involved in the mob and fall in love, and there almost always is that other woman who has always been involved and wants the guy for herself, but never wins. Well, this story is not about that. Because in this book, Maria is the other woman, and does win.
This should be interesting. Very interesting.
Maria was an orphan. Her parents had died when she was ten, and her uncle had raised her. When she was thirteen, he was killed in front of her by the Mexican mob. And she wants revenge.
***********
When I woke up, cops and paramedics were all around me. I saw my uncle's dead body before they covered it. There was a hole in his head and blood on his face. I closed my eyes and cried silently as people picked me up and moved me. I cried for my uncle's fate and for my own, for my parents were long gone.
And I vowed to get revenge. That is why I married Gaspare's right hand man. Because shit was about to go down.

A Love Like Ours
"Why the hell won't you just admit it?!" I yelled at him. "Admit what?!" He asked. "The REAL reason why you don't want to be with me! It's cause I'm too fat and cause I'm white and you are so afraid as to what your friends might think, aren't you?!" I snapped at him. "You don't know shit!" He snaps right back at me. "Oh no? Why can't you just tell me? I can take the rejection!" I snap again at him. He starts stomping his way over towards me and raises both my hands against the wall and above my head as he leans in closer to me just inches from my lips. "You think I don't want to be with you because I'm too embarrassed because of how big you are or that your white? You really think I could give two shits as to what anyone including my friends think about us? Well I don't. I could give two shits about what anyone thinks! So stop fucking assuming you know me or what I'm thinking cause you don't!" He fires back at me. "Well then what is it then huh?" I asked. "You wouldn't understand. But do me a favor and stop pretending that you know me when you don't." He says. We both then stand there for a moment looking in each others eyes and then he leans in closer and smashes his lips onto mine. © Copyright 2019 All Rights ReservedComplete
