Italy storie

An arranged marriage. A powerful name. And a choice that was never meant to become love. When Aishwarya Madhav marries Liam Moretti, it is not born of romance, but of obligation, two lives bound by family decisions, cultural distance, and a world ruled by power. He is an Italian heir shaped by legacy and enemies. She is an Indian woman grounded in quiet strength, kindness, and conviction. Anya Singh, meanwhile, remained woven into a part of Liam's life that still breathed, vibrant, expressive, and alive with emotion. Loving him openly, loudly, without knowing how love could demand more than the heart was prepared to give. As past, present and future collide, What Remains unfolds not just as a love triangle, but a journey of human choice; of loyalty that is earned, of love that transforms, of family that is built through patience rather than blood. This is a story about an arranged marriage that began without love. About power, danger, and the cost of decisions made in the name of protection. Above all, it is a story that asks one question: When everything else is stripped away, what remains?

Forced into a marriage she never wanted, Elena finds herself trapped between fear and attraction as Matteo becomes more possessive, more protective, and more obsessed with making her his willingly. But in the mafia world, obsession is deadly. And when Matteo's most dangerous enemy takes interest in Elena too, their marriage becomes the center of a dangerous war neither of them can escape. Because monsters don't fall in love gently. They destroy everything to keep what's theirs.

"I'm fine being alone." Was all that came out of Nico's mouth whenever asked about having friends, a girlfriend, or whatnot. That was until he met the sweet, adored, enthusiastic Gracie-who just moved in next door. "Hello, I'm Gracie Wagner." Who knew that one simple phrase could change Nico's stance on many things, especially... Love? 🌼 This story was inspired heavily by the Justin Bieber song of the same name, "DAISIES". Each chapter title is a lyric from the song; and the themes in the storyline also follow the ones in the song. ⚠️ WARNING: Contains strong language and a brief physical altercation.

"Who is that girl?" I turned around and answered with a shrug. Thatha wasn't convinced. And Dad looked far too entertained. I should have known better. Because silence worked on most people. On almost everyone. Just not on the two men standing in front of me. Unfortunately, I was related to both of them.

10 Mafia Families. Power beyond comprehension. Betrayal. Hatred. Violence. This story focuses on The de Alves family and the Messina family. The war for territories is at an all time high. One mistake stokes the flames of this underground war. Carolina and Salvatore have never really met. They known of each other. And what they know, they hate. In this Part they are forced together through a series of rather silly mishaps. Sneaky peak conversation: Third person POV Carolina: I would have said 'you make me sick' but you've been hearing that the unfortunate event of your birth. She looks him up and down, using all her brain power not to spit in his 'perfectly disgusting' Salvatore chuckles which was so unexpected, even he was shocked. " I believe you are too smart and grown to be resulting to primary school insults" he retorts trying to distract from that oddly placed chuckle The tension in the hair is not so thick you could cut it with a knife, it's a soft tension... awkward and extremely uncomfortable. The chemistry between them is completely nonexistent. They're bodies naturally facing away from each other. This whole time, their eyes haven't met once. Carolina will never admit to it, but she is shit scared of what may happen if she feels anything for him, be it love or hate, both are dangerous. So for now she will pretend to hate him, when in fact she feels nothing, complete apathy... Salvatore on the other hand has been actively trying to look into her eyes, get a read on her, figure her out. She is almost a ghost, no one knows anything about her that she doesn't want them to know. Even now, as his prisoner , She still has the upper hand...

Their marriage was a contract. Their beginning was a mistake. What they became... was inevitable. As alliances fracture and enemies close in, the Bianchi empire begins to crack under the weight of secrets, ambition, and betrayal. Because in this world, love isn't safe,it's a liability. And when war finally arrives, it won't just test their power. It will decide who's strong enough to keep it.
