Escape into you

Mafia

5.0

She never needed saving. Not when she was a child forced to grow up too soon. Not when she took over an empire built on blood and betrayal. And certainly not when a group of men tried to shove her into a van, thinking they could break her. But then he showed up. He wasn't a hero. Just a good guy who was at the wrong place at the wrong time or was it even wrong? A guy who couldn't watch them do something awful to the beautiful woman. He didn't know who she was. Didn't know that stepping in would change his life forever. Because they took him, too. Now, he's trapped in a world where people don't live long if they don't know how to fight. A world where she-ruthless, untouchable, dangerous-is the only person standing between him and death. He should hate her. She should push him away. But it's not that simple. He's spent his whole life being careful. Obedient. Taking every hit his father gave him just so his little sister wouldn't have to. He never had the luxury of fighting back. But she-she doesn't know how to surrender. She is all sharp edges and iron will. And yet, she sees something in him that no one else ever has. And he sees her, too. Not just the ruthless mafia boss-but the woman who has lost too much, who has learned to be unbreakable because no one ever came to save her. They don't fall in love the way normal people do. There's nothing soft about it. It's raw. It's messy. It hurts. And when the worst happens-when she loses her mother, when his sister is sold to the same kind of monsters who ruined both their lives-it nearly destroys them. But she won't stop until she gets his sister back. And he won't let her fight alone. They were never supposed to meet. Never supposed to care. But maybe, just maybe, together, they can escape. Or die trying.
