"People say life is too short to hold grudges.
I say life is too short to be letting people get away with the same bullshit."

The day Alexandra Steele lost her father was the day she decided that she'll no longer be the little girl consumed by fantasy. Bigger things lay ahead, particularly revenge for his murder.

Now, she cannot afford to back down, get distracted. 
Not even by the man who dominates her life - Dominic Goldman.

But beyond her unwavering desire for justice is Arthur Santiago, the man who seeks to bring back safety to the streets terrorised by Dominic's mob.

There is just one problem:
He needs to save Alexandra's soul first. And that, perhaps, is the hardest task of all.

Melancholy by justmikame

Elena Romano, a fierce and unyielding lawyer, becomes the only person who can keep Tristan Valenti, a notorious and untouchable mafia kingpin, out of prison. But as she's drawn deeper into his dangerous world, she discovers that the battle isn't just about saving him from the law-it's about saving him from himself. Yet in breaking every rule she's sworn to uphold, Elena risks losing more than her morals-she risks losing her heart to the man who might be beyond redemption. Melancholy - a bittersweet ache that lingers in the soul, like the taste of wine that's both bitter and intoxicating. It's the quiet storm of longing and loss, woven with moments of beauty so fleeting they hurt. Just like what Elena and Tristan want-something so consuming, it borders on destruction. Their love is jagged yet tender, a sanctuary wrapped in shadows where passion wars with despair. It's the sharp edges of love, the bruises of trust, and the haunting allure of wanting what might ruin you, yet never being able to let it go.
