"What do you think love is, Roman?" I ask him, listening to him as he speaks.
He takes a deep breath, his unease evident in his face. His hand plays with the tablecloth mindlessly as he answers.

"Love is an all consuming need to be with someone, whether romantically or in a platonic way. Love is standing with someone when they go through the hell that life has to offer. Love is, at the end of the day, knowing that you have someone to fight your battles with you." 
 
I smile at him, "We need to get that on a Hallmark card."

Laughter erupts from him as he looks away abashedly.
                              ••••••••••••

For Valentina Palermo, independence and a good work ethic has been her ride or die, to the point where accepting criticism from others is a fault. 

But when she meets Roman Belluci, a multi-billion dollar heir, she questions her morals, fighting for the man she loves without being seen as a home wrecker.

For Roman Belluci, finding a way to please his wife Gianni is as difficult as solving an equation of general relativity. When forced into a marriage with her based on money and her dark secrets, Roman tries everything to get her to respect him and their child Rene.
After meeting Valentina, a love for her simple life hypnotizes him into her arms.

"𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨𝐲." ~ Marriage was never for love-it was for legacy. A strategy. A performance. And for the Lombardis and the Morettis, it was the most calculated, showstopping alliance of the century. Roman Moretti, Don of the La Cosa Nostra, and Angeline Lombardi, only daughter of the French-Italian Mafia Capo, had been betrothed since her birth --matched to unite two empires under one crown. Hidden from the world, Angeline was raised to be the perfect wife. Groomed. Silenced. Controlled. She learned early that one misstep would strip her of everything-including her name. Everyone's first mistake? They underestimated her. Though no one had ever seen her, the world assumed the Lombardi Princess was a polished doll. Quiet. Disposable. Roman saw the marriage as a formality-another calculated step toward total dominance. He had no plans to love her. No plans to live with her. Just a wife on paper, tucked away from him elsewhere, summoned when needed for appearances. But everything changed the moment he saw her walking down the aisle. She was perfection. Untouchable. She would be his ruin, his weakness, his obsession, his motivation. His everything. But what if that had been her plan all along? Not everything buried stays dead. Not every identity is what it seems. In a world where saints become monsters and monsters are worshipped like gods, Angeline must decide what's worth saving: her bloodline, her love, or herself. ~ -HEA -18+ -Romance/mystery/thriller -No Cheating/OWD -DARK ROMANCE "OMYGOSH. This book was immaculate. I could NOT put it down at all. Every chapter was AMAZING, the writing is shakespears work and each chapter made me laugh, smile, cry so much and this whole thing was a rollercoaster of emotions." -@Sunfloweraate8

HIGHEST RANKING-1st in Cool & Laugh! {08/07/18} Elena/Lena Matthews is an eighteen year old simple curvy girl with a bit of sass who loves her family very much.

Ethan Storm is a one hell of a hot-headed and most feared vampire prince who has found out that Lena is his mate and he will do anything to make Lena his.. But will Lena accept to be his mate? Read to find out.. ---------- I could feel my face heating up that I tried to take deep breaths to calm myself down. The hug was incredible. It was not a friendly hug which I usually get from my friends or my parents or even Leo. This one was different. It was soothing and comfy. After a few minutes later we parted and he looked at me in the eyes. "My Jelly Bunny I am sorry for what happened later. It is just that the thought of you leaving me just drive me insane." "It is alright now. I am always here for you Mr Hulk." I laughed a bit when I mentioned 'Mr Hulk'. He neither looked offenced nor angry when he heard that name on the contrary he laughed. "Mr Hulk and Jelly Bunny. I like it." He said bringing his face close to mine. "Yeah me too." I could feel the tip of his nose touched mine and his lips parted a bit then they took my lips. It was my first time kissing someone so I don't know how it goes but I tried to go with the same pace as Mr Hulk. His lips tasted like chocolate with a hint of mint. God! My favourite chocolate flavour! I wanted more of his taste. Suddenly I could feel his hand on my butt squeezing it. It surprised me but kind of hot. He pressed me against a wall but not too hard. He was being gentle yet dominant. P.s : Please don't copy or take my ideas as they are purely original and they are my imaginations. Thank you. ♡Also! If you enjoyed this story don't hesitate to share it with your friends! ;)
