Three chapters into the story and I’m already falling in love with your lead character. Your plot is timely with a little twist of a game of fate. Your writing style is also commendable and I can see that you paid enough detail in giving emphasis on your lead’s emotions. As a reader, I’m already invested in reading this book. Keep up the good work author.
hey Babe, it's an Explosive ordnance disposal specialist in the military.
''Sharpshooter at the age of seven, you've detonated fifty-seven bombs before you turned sixteen'' he shook his head in disbelief, ''way craftier than EODs if I may add. You're an escape artist, a con artist but you suck at cooking'' he made sure to emphasize the 'con artist' accusingly.
He's in the mafia and she's an assassin. They met in all the right places at the wrong time. Can love break all the barriers the underworld builds between their worlds?
As the Russian mafia second in command, Yuri was living up to his family's expectations. He was a ruthless mafia leader with no intention of falling in love. That was true until he was smitten by Andi the moment he first laid eyes on her, little did he know that she has many secrets that could either make him or break him.
Andi, a heartless assassin who bound her life for revenge, had long promised herself not to fall in love. Although she had admired Yuri from afar even before they met, she tried her hardest to fight the feelings she has for Yuri.
Can their love, that was built around lies, can flourish to rebuild both their broken hearts?

"Yuri... faster..." I begged but he merely smiled on my skin. The smile of a devil in disguise. He didn't give me what I wanted, instead he kept his slow torturous phase. "Please..." only this man can make me beg for this.
''No butterfly" I whined when he stopped what he was doing altogether. "You need to learn not to make me jealous or you'll never have me pleasuring you again."
I was gasping for air, the heat in my skin was still burning and my face contorted with confusion. What the hell was he talking about? "Don't stop."
He smirked. "Learn from your mistake, babochka."
''What?'' knowing that the smirk on his face was fùcking annoying, I wanted to wipe it out with a fùcking lawnmower. "Fùck you, Laskin." I hopped out of the counter, hot and bothered, fuming with anger and humiliation as I slammed the door of my room. Cold shower was not fucking helping me! He did this to me? How dare that man!
The shower wall shattered to pieces when I punched it too many times that my hands bleed. I let the water calm me, no one had ever humiliated me like that in my entire life.
''Angel'' I heard Yuri speak inside my shower.
''Go away before I rip your head off" I warned. Instead of following my will, I felt his hands around my waist, drawing sweet circles on my stomach. ''Not now, Yuri. Just go."
"No" he pressed his body on my back and damn, he was naked and hard. "Alex told me you and him weren't even a thing. Why make me jealous like that, babochka?"
''I can't be with you, Yuri" he spun me around but I closed my eyes, not wanting him to see how I hate doing this to him. How pushing him away was hurting me like a double-sided dagger.
''Why?'' he tilted my chin but my eyes remained shut. "I only want you, Andi, no one else."
Fúck control.
Fúck being righteous.
Fúck doing the right thing.
I'll do Yuri and I need him now.
''Make love to me" I whispered and as soon as the words left my mouth, I instantly regretted them.

And the love-hate relationship of Yuri and Andi begins...

Isabella Marciano was pushed to leave her family business after her whole family's tragic death and the betrayal of her Uncle Santino Ricci. With the help of her father's best friend, she'll try and take everything that has been taken from her. Along her conquest, she'll meet Konstantine Zafeiriou, a Greek Billionaire who's father ventured to illegal businesses.
On the other hand, Konstantine, a playboy billionaire who defied his father's wishes since he was younger, had no intention of venturing deeper into the underworld until he met Isabella.
Will Konstantine be able to help Isabella, or will he just turn into someone who'll mess with her mind.

“Santi Ricci should lead us” Deville spoke of my uncle who sat beside me on the right “he has Marciano blood in him, born to be a Don.”
“No. Valen should be the Don” St. Luis said. “He’s the third in command after Sean. It's only logical that he leads.”
They went on and on and on until I've had enough of them talking as if I wasn't in the room. I slammed my hand on the oak table.
“Good God!” I murmured rubbing my temples melodramatically “you whine like four-year-olds. Who actually gave all of you the right to decide something meant for a Marciano to decide.”
They all glared at me but I wasn't done “whoever wants to take what's rightfully mine is welcome to challenge me in a hand to hand combat. I'm Daniel Marciano's daughter and his mafia is only mine to claim.”

A light blue glow came from her chest, it was as bright as the sun at its peak but a lot colder, as if it protected Ghost's whole being from being burned by the light.
It was a quick occurrence yet Ghost saw how the men disappeared like ashes. Even the dead man slowly disintegrated into thin air. It started from their hands and feet until there was nothing left of them.
''What the fuck?'' He whispered in disbelief, unable to comprehend what had happened but the girl lost consciousness and tumbled on him.
