Bound By His Shadow ( The Vincolo Series - Season 1)
I never believed in MONSTERS until I met him. Men like him? Oh, they don't walk in the light. Nobody says their names out loud, their DEEDS aren't recorded, but you'll see their HANDIWORK everywhere if you know where to look. It all started that one night. At the time, it seemed like nothing, just another evening. Little did I know, that was the night everything would change. The first time I stumbled into his DOMAIN was purely by accident, I had no clue what I was walking into. But the second time? That was different. I went there on purpose, driven by a job. Nothing personal, just BUSSINESS, or so I thought. Something I could easily leave behind when it was all done. Oh, how naive I was! His world isn't one you can just wander in and out of without a scratch. It's a place built on unspoken agreements, lies that dig deep, and truths too dangerous for most to handle. Every moment spent there pulls me further into his gravity. I thought I could maintain my distance, but somehow, I found myself getting closer to him,much closer than I ever planned or wanted. Close enough to almost forget what he really is. And that's the trouble because deep down, I still know how it ends. If he ever figured out why I'm really here, he wouldn't hesitate to put a bullet through my head. Walk away now while I can? I wish! Somewhere along this twisted path, with fate and its cruel jokes about CONTROL and POWER over others' lives, an ILLUSION crept into my mind. That maybe, just maybe, I had control over everything. That I was PLAYING the game. But no, not once was I ever the PLAYER. Just a PAWN in this bloody game of BLOOD & THRONE !! ____________________ ⚠️ WARNING :- THIS BOOK CONTAINS MATURE THEMES AND STRONG LANGUAGE.

Scars On Her Soul
"It just doesn't feels right" "What doesn't feels right? Love" "This business trip of yours...I'm just not getting a good feeling about it..." "I don't know why...but I'm kinda scared" "Just listen to me carefully, sweetheart. You have absolutely nothing to worry about...as long as I'm alive" The conversation we had a few hours before he left, rang in my ears as I paced around on the hard concrete sidewalk, impatiently waiting for his arrival. I turned around quickly hearing a car roughly pull over. "What the fuck are you doing here" He said hopping out of the car, slamming the door shut. And by the tone of his voice I could tell that he was furious with me for not listening to him yet again but that was probably the last thing I cared about right now. All I cared about at this moment was that he was standing right in front of me...safe and alive. "Vienna! I fucking asked you to stay at home until I returned. Why won't you ever listen to me" He added while taking quick steps towards me. Ignoring the anger in his eyes I just ran towards him, throwing my arms around his neck, I sighed in relief...hugging him as if my life depended on it as he sighed before hugging me back tightly. And just like that...I felt safe once again. I felt at home once again. ••• "You have a choice, either choose me or being a mafia" Those were the golden words spoken by Vienna Green, to the love of her life as she feared the destruction that the title 'Mafia' could bring into their lives. And...well, she was right all along! Her life came crumbling down as she witnessed her worst nightmares turning into harsh reality...leaving "Scars On Her Soul". ••• Sequel to the book - "Loving The Russian Mafia" Not a stand alone book. You'll have to read the previous book to understand this one.
