I remember that night well, the first time I killed someone. The night was freezing, pavements slippery and the ice black. I shivered and wrapped my handmade crocheted scarf tighter around my neck. I had persuaded mother to let me go out, I left the details vague, the details are always how you're caught lying. It wouldn't matter how much detail I gave. Neither mother nor father cared, unless their reputation was at stake.

Full Disclosure: Stuck 1 is a completed but Stuck 2 is abandoned work. Prologue Shadows engulfed his angelic features oozing devilish intentions. It wasn't until he took a step towards her did the gravity of situation descended upon and even then she couldn't do anything but shake in fear. She knew making a run for it won't do a thing, calling was not an option and if she screamed...she opened her mouth to shrill but a meek plea came out. Her body's lack of response terrified her, tears gathered in her orbs with horrible anticipation. With his each step nearer she gripped the frame of her window tighter hoping to keep her balance. It took him three steps to be inches away from her body. He slowly took his suit jacket off, making himself comfortable as he amusingly watched her shaken face. She was so horror-stricken to even look at his face. She gulped as his hand cupped her neck in a gentle grip, guiding her eyes to his. His eyes slipped from the hold of her eyes to her lips in a second. She grew self conscious all over again. His heated gaze on her lips was unwavering. In the moment of bewilderment and growing self awareness her tongue unconsciously wiped her lips wet and it was all it took for him to descent on her lips. Description Had it been upto him he'd have broken her down to pieces and never put her togather, instead, he let her build herself, he watched her collapse and stand, die and live, float and drown all the while playing her body like a putty in his hand.

She was vividly aware of what she was getting herself into but nothing could prepare her for the don who brought everyone on his feet and she was no exception. How would she survive his ways or even would she?Complete

Ever since he was 11, he was taught who his allies and enemies were. For example, their biggest enemy, La Famille, or the French Mafia was trying to get a hold of their operation. Just as he was getting ready to become capo dei capi, his parents gave him an ultimatum to secure that The Sicilian Mafia will always be on top. To make sure that happens, Jackson has to get important intel on La Famille, which just so happens to be Della's step Father's mafia. The only way he can get close to Ron is to go through his new family. Jackson developed a deep resentment for Delilah over the years and had to put up a façade of being friends with Brooks.
