mafia

The city of Stockham, thirty miles north of London, was a hotspot for business activity. To those outside of the city, they only saw the legitimate importation and finance companies that posed as the forefront of the city's business sector, but those deep in the system knew that this was only a front. Behind the legitimate businesses and fake economic stability was a ruthless world of gangsters and mobs run by three families that had existed since the city was first founded: the Lucas, the Bellegrini, and the Romanov. These three families ran the city's underworld, and in this twisted world that stood on a foundation of blood, drugs, and bullets, you would need to be both ruthless and cunning in order to survive. .... Dante Lucas was the head of the Lucas armed forces, known only as the Cleaners. He was a ruthless man who was both praised and feared by the members of the Stockham underworld for his terrifying efficiency and undeniable skill. Dante believed that he would spend the rest of his life as nothing but a Cleaner—responsible for erasing enemies and ensuring the Lucas family's power remained intact—and he was more than happy to play this role till the day he died. But Dante's life took a sudden turn when the boss of the Lucas family, George Lucas, died unexpectedly. And rather than passing on his immense fortune to his firstborn son, as was the tradition in the family, the boss passed it to Dante instead. Now, Dante was stuck in a world filled with enemies both outside and inside the family, and he would have to use all of his abilities to protect the lives of his family members while also trying his best to grow the Lucas family to the strength they once possessed.

A normal boy transfers to a new school, hoping for a fresh start. But from the very first day, he realizes this place isn’t so different from the one he left behind. That same evening, he’s caught in a mysterious incident — and ends up dead. Two people witness it: one of them is Paul, a young man who knows nothing , but wants to know everything. In his search for answers, Paul steps into a world ruled by unseen puppet masters — people who pull the strings of others’ lives, shaping every choice, every move. But is the mastermind he’s chasing truly in control… or just another puppet in someone else’s game? In a world where even the puppet masters may be powerless, Paul must decide whether he’s a player… or just another piece on the board.

In a city where the rain never washes away the blood, two rival kings rule the underworld. Kael Vescari is the ruthless, young Alpha of The Wolf Mark-charming, brutal, and born to conquer. He thrives on chaos, takes what he wants, and never bows to anyone. Rin Asano is the cold, calculating leader of the Crimson Vultures-a ghost in the city's shadows. No one dares question his authority. No one knows he's an Omega. They were never meant to work together. They were born to destroy each other. But when a third enemy rises from the ashes-the sadistic Ash Fang Cartel-they're forced into a reluctant alliance. Turf wars turn into whispered secrets. Knife-edge threats blur into stolen glances. And behind closed doors, heat rises. As danger closes in and bloodlines are tested, Kael begins to unravel the one secret Rin has killed to protect. And Rin? He starts to crave the one Alpha who was supposed to be his ruin.

I used to shout at my screen about how the "male leads" in romance stories were useless. I thought I could do better. Then one morning, every heroine I’d ever admired was suddenly in my school, my neighborhood, and my life. Kaoruko Waguri, Ai Hoshino, Marin Kitagawa, Yukinoshita Yukino, Chitoge Kirisaki, and dozens more were all real and all in danger. When any of them die, or I do, the day resets. And it's not like I’m the powerful hero in their worlds. Each loop is a race against time to keep them alive, figure out how they die, and survive myself. ---- Using: The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity Oregairu My Dress-Up Darling Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian Komi Can't Communicate The Quintessential Quintuplets The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten Nisekoi Oshi no Ko. -maybe more idk- ----- I'll try to release more if people like this.

The priest smiles, almost warmly. "By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." My palms are damp, and he knows it—he hasn't let go of my hand. My heart spikes as he leans down toward me, lips close enough that I feel the heat of his breath. I brace myself for the inevitable kiss, but instead, he tilts just slightly, his mouth brushing my cheek instead. His whisper is meant for me alone. "You might be pretty, but you are not the type of woman I'd ever love to kiss." he murmurs, his tone smooth as silk, sharp as a blade. The sting is immediate, sharp enough to lodge in my chest. I had thought—naively—that recognizing him, remembering his small act of unexpected kindness three days ago, meant something. That maybe this wouldn't be a prison, but a chance. Maybe, just maybe, this could work. But maybe I had been a fool. He leans back, angelic smile gracing his lips, as though he has just sealed his vows with a kiss. To the guests, it looks perfect. To me, it feels like a warning. Why would he say that to me? Why is he even marrying me?! After our marriage has been officially sealed on paper, we walk down the aisle as a couple now. The guests rise to their feet, watching us with eyes that weigh and measure, as though I am an offering laid at the Alpha's feet. Unlike human weddings, werewolf unions are never followed by grand feasts or lingering celebrations. Once vows are spoken, the couple is left alone—to bond, to mark, to claim. But there will be nothing to claim here. Nothing to celebrate. Not in this farce of a marriage. We are not even mates. And while he is Alpha of the largest and most powerful pack_ I am nothing more than the daughter of a family with no leadership, no real standing in our own pack. My presence at his side is not respect, but mockery. I force a smile, looping my hand gently around his arm as we walk past the rows of watching faces. Yet beneath the veil of music and soft clapping, whispers thread through the air, sharp and merciless. "Such a waste of power… the Alpha deserved better." "Look at her—pretty face, but no wolf. She'll never stand at his side in battle." "She's fragile. How can a Luna lead when she can't even shift?" The words slice deeper than they should. I have heard them endlessly before, but today, on the day I am bound to a man I barely know, they strike like claws across my heart. To them, I am unworthy—not fit to walk beside an Alpha, not strong enough to bear his weight, not wolf enough to be his mate.

While she struggles with her emotions, another shocking betrayal surfaces—her sister was never innocent; she sold Isla for money.

The shocking revelation? The man chosen for her was none other than Kalix Andreas, the ruthless mafia don with whom she had shared that fateful night of passion. Cold, calculating, and powerful, Kalix is not the man Winter remembers. Underneath his unyielding exterior lies a dangerous man with a past that binds them both. Faced with a forced union, Winter must confront her deepest fears. Kalix is determined to claim her heart and her soul, declaring, "I’ve waited years for you, Angel. No matter how strong the walls are, I will break them with my love. You have to be mine." But can she accept the love of the man who embodies everything she’s fought against? Or will the weight of his dark secrets tear them apart? A tale of passion, betrayal, and redemption, the story will keep you on the edge of your seat as Winter struggles to choose between love and the walls she’s built around her heart.

Shen Yi is a black-market assassin who undergoes a memory wipe after every job. He is clean, professional, and impossible to trace,until one day, he is assigned to kill the heir of the Jiang Mafia clan, Jiang Qi, and fails. Instead of dying, Jiang Qi captures Shen Yi and discovers something impossible. Why does this man, who has tried to kill him six times, look so much like the boy who saved him seven years ago? Not just that, why does he seem to remember nothing? Absolutely nothing, including the several times he has tried to kill him. What will happen when a man with no memories and a man who refuses to forget are bound together by blood and obsession? **** EXCERPT Shen Yi moved closer with a sponge, dipped it into the water, and was just about to start cleaning him when Jiang Qi grabbed his wrist. “What now?” Shen Yi asked, already bracing for more nonsense. “Why don’t you... join me? Mm?” Jiang Qi said with a grin so bright it could power a small city. Shen Yi blinked slowly and replied without hesitation, “No.” He dipped the sponge again and began scrubbing Jiang Qi’s chest. Just as the sponge touched skin, Jiang Qi groaned, a strange sound, halfway between a sigh and something far less innocent. “You sure you don’t want to join me?” he asked, lips curling mischievously. “I’m sure,” Shen Yi answered flatly, continuing his task. But Jiang Qi didn’t stop. Every time the sponge moved across his chest, he let out a new noise, some more dramatic than others. “Oh... there,” he said, eyes fluttering. “Careful, I’m sensitive.” Shen Yi paused mid-scrub and stared at him in disbelief. “Stop... making those sounds.” “I can’t help it,” Jiang Qi replied, smirking. “Your touch does things to me.” Shen Yi rolled his eyes and resumed scrubbing, silently promising himself he wouldn’t fall into this man’s chaos. But Jiang Qi only leaned back in the tub like he was in a spa, letting out another exaggerated moan that echoed through the bathroom. Honestly, if someone were passing by at that moment, they’d probably call the cops.
