She always thought she would be trapped in a box, punches, and hits weighing her down, the cold rush of blood drowning the love her parents should've given her.

But even when she escapes...the past haunts her, and the undeniable fear of the unknown etches its way into her heart for eternity.

It's not until a little girl enters her bakery stealing a piece of cake that she lets happiness melt its way into her heart, the little girl's father becomes her armor from the fears that hide behind the deep shadows,

The love, contentment, and safety she never got from her parents were brought tenfold within the both of them, making her realize happiness truly is possible in a world of evil.

                                       ***************

Mafia.

It was all he knew for the longest time, everyone knows him as one of the biggest CEOs in New York, But he hides behind the shadows and controls the night as the biggest mafia boss.

His daughter was the only light he saw in the dark world he hid in, he thought his heart wouldn't soften for anyone, but when he meets a sweet bakery owner with the softest heart, he realizes that maybe love is worth the risk, 

His heart begins to burn for her, and his mind, body, and whole being gets drowned in all that she is.

They don't realize the true armor that love is, the stone wall it builds beyond the evil that lies behind, it strengthens your weaknesses, and shows the light that hides within.

"What are you thinking about?" Enzo says stepping over to sit next to me. "Huh" I remark and glance at him. "When you're thinking about something, you scrunch your nose up and tighten your brows. But you're also biting your lips, so it must be something serious, or are you nervous?" He says, and I just stare at him, shocked. "Am I that easy to read?" I inquire, and he laughs. "Not when you're on your period or when you're hungry. Can't tell whether you like me or want to kill me." He says and I laugh and hit his shoulder. "Am I that bad?" I say "Uh, yeah. I feel like if I don't have a sandwich made in 15 seconds when your moody, I'll be in deep shit." He says. "Stop, you're making it seem like I'm some bad person," I say this and shove him away from me; he chuckles. He takes my hips and places me on his lap, forcing me to straddle him while I wrap my hands around his neck and look up at him. "You are not a horrible person; you are someone I sincerely care about and would go to any length for. And by anything, I mean anything. If you want me to jump off a cliff to grab your favorite sunglasses, I will." Hera is a beautiful woman in a committed relationship with Enzo, whom she adores.

She was lost and so was he. Who knew that two broken hearts can connect to one. Arabella's world has been rigged since the day she was born. Her fate had been decided for her much longer before she even had been conceived in the womb. So it came as no surprise when she found herself back at the beginning. As if the pain she has previously experienced wasn't enough, she now needs to relearn how to balance her life. She can't help but pray to the universe for a break. She was exhausted from fighting for all she had and watching her life fall apart just as quickly as it had come back together. Dominic's life was something he would forever be grateful for since he knew that he never had it as rough as others. But there were always going to be times that he wanted to give up. With the responsibility of leading an entire mafia and his own past commitment issues, he believes the barrier to letting go is far greater than what others tell him. And when new desires emerge, he notes how his heart skips a beat whenever he sees her. His instinct kicks in, and he raises his barriers twice as high as she lowers hers to make place for him. All I was guilty of, was showing them mercy when no one else would. ~~~ "I saw you, Dominic. I wish you saw me." "I see you." I freeze at his words, my back facing him. "I can only see you. Everything I look at, everything I touch, everything I smell always leads back to you. I spent most of my life thinking that my heart was my biggest weakness. I always imagined that it would be my downfall. I had a loving family and that was enough for me. Getting a girlfriend, getting married, having a family, none of that mattered to me. Before you." He pauses, taking a breath and my eyes water. "I kept any other part of my heart guarded and almost locked. It was as if I didn't have one at all. Even now, its still fucked up. The lock I've kept is warned out though the only person who has its key is you. It's yours."

/Blurb/ She wasn't sure who moved first but one moment she was standing there gawking at him and next their mouths were smashing against each other. She let out a loud moan as his lips touched hers. She didn't care that she was pressed against his wet self and her robe was getting wet in the process. All that mattered was the way his lips felt against her. She made a sound at the back of her throat as he snaked his arms against her waist and pulled her even more closer than it was possible. She wanted to cry, it was as if she was thirsty and he was the water and she was a man dying of hunger and he was the food. Thats how much she felt at home as his lips started moving against hers. He opened his mouth and pressed his tongue inside her and she whimpered as their tongues battled against each other, rolling and teasing, nipping at each other. She could still taste the chocolate on his tongue and she absolutely was addicted to it. She stifled a groan as his eyes rubbed at her side and she realised that it must hit him that she was completely bare, her nudity only covered by the silky robe. *** /Summary/ Natasha is a acclaimed writer who has her book turned into a short story for Hulu.

The Salvation Of Victoria by Alissonwritesforyou
60 parts Ongoing Mature
Victoria was always known as the quiet and reserved girl growing up. She kept to herself, never really letting anyone in. This was because of the trauma she experienced at the hands of her father. The abuse and mistreatment she endured for so many years left deep scars on her heart and mind. Despite all that she had been through, Victoria still managed to push through and become a strong, independent woman. She found solace in her work as a kindergarden teacher. The innocence and pure hearts of the children she taught brought her a sense of peace and joy that she had never experienced before. Victoria's older brother, Sebastian, was her rock throughout her childhood. He was the one who protected her from their father's wrath, the one who made sure she was always safe. And then there was Sara, her best friend since they were in college. Sara was always there for Victoria, providing a shoulder to cry on and a listening ear whenever she needed it. But despite having these two amazing people in her life, Victoria still struggled to trust others. She had built up walls around her heart, afraid to let anyone else in for fear of getting hurt again. She had convinced herself that she would never be able to trust a man again, that they were all like her father. But then she met him... Alessandro was a man of power and influence in the Italian mafia. At thirty-five years old, he was the boss of one of the most feared criminal organizations in the country. He was ruthless and determined, never hesitating to do whatever it took to maintain control and dominance in his world. His lack of faith in love and commitment stemmed from his upbringing. Alessandro had grown up in a world of violence and chaos, where loyalty to family was the only thing that mattered. He had seen firsthand the destructive power of emotions, how they could cloud judgment and lead to betrayal. He had vowed never to let himself be swayed by such weaknesses. But all of that changed when he met her...

She hated them. They loved her with everything in them. The universe truly has a sick way of telling you it's there, doesn't it? From being kidnapped to being abused, that was all Arabella saw in life. It was all she ever knew. They tell you to keep fighting but sometimes you realize... you were just a child. Now she's built herself up using her pain as the next step to her strength. She's learnt how to strive forward even as her past haunts her mind crawling up her back every passing second. That is until the first 7 people who only ever brought her pain find their way back into her life. She has no way to let go of her past when they come right back to her. The world showed her no mercy in it's ways so why should she. ~~~ I let out a small sigh wanting more of this. I wanted to be held like this whenever I felt broken. Feel the way he puts me back together in his arms. It ate at my heart and I could have sworn I felt a feathery kiss on my head. It was as if he could hear my thoughts and was kissing them away for me. Slowly he lets one hand go, the other staying around me as he brings my chin up to him gently wiping my last tears as more fill my eyes. He sees this and his eyes look... crumbled. If you feel this way then why can't you choose me, Dominic. I shake my head from his hands wishing to step back but he pulls me back to him a pain filled groan leaving him. "Just one more minute. Please." His body shook and I brought him closer, feeling our pain become one. Our hurricanes of minds pull away even for the smallest time letting us stand together as one in each other's embrace. He was it for me. But I wasn't his.
