Mafia's Forbidden Desires
Valerie Thorne:
Raven Blackwood was the man I liked since I was a child, made my heart race before I even knew what love meant. But childhood ends. Innocence fades. And Raven… Well. Raven became my worst nightmare.
Even the devil would sit back and take notes from him, when it came to torture, harm, use, and kill.
His grey eyes, hypnotic, dangerous, and unforgettable, would make anyone fall in love with, but same grey eyes would make anyone feel death.
And every time they met mine, I couldn’t tell if he looked at me with the love with the depth of oceans for me, or was I another game he was playing, another pawn he planned to destroy?
Raven Blackwood:
Valerie Thorne. The girl who once was gentle, the sweetest ever I known. And now looked at me like I burned the sky.
She was the light, too soft for the world I lived in, too good for the blood on my hands. But I never claimed to be anyone good. I never promised her good things. I only ever promised her one thing. That she was mine.
Her fear didn’t surprise me. Her hate? Maybe. But it’s the way she still looked at me, like she wants to run and stay all at once.
Because no matter how many sins I had, and will carry. No matter how deep I’ve dragged her into my hell. She’s the only piece of heaven I ever wanted to keep.

Chapter: Should we stop them?Valerie Thorne’s POV:Elvis left. He got an urgent call from his home a week ago. So, he immediately left for his hometown. And here I was, still struggling, still trying to win more local alliances.In place of Elvis, the other guard, Jeremy, remained by my side in all the meetings. He wasn’t as chatty or friendly as Elvis. But he was efficient. He was quiet most of the time, but he was a good observer. And most importantly, he was loyal to Raven, not me. And that fact alone kept me on edge.Every word I said, every step I took, I knew it was being reported back. I wasn’t paranoid, just realistic. This world didn’t give me the luxury of trust.Today, I had another meeting scheduled. This time, it was arranged with the Rosario faction. They were small time gang, but vicious. And they were known for switching sides when things got messy, exactly the kind I needed on my side before anyone else got to them.Jeremy opened the car door for me without a word. I stepped inside and adjusted m

Chapter: Because if you fall… I want to be there when it happensI shrugged my shoulders, and my expression remained neutral. “She needed a push. Now, we will see if she is truly capable or if she will crumble under the pressure.”Axel chuckled, his eyes gleaming with amusement. “I won’t mind seeing her crumble. She is too soft for this life.”I looked in the distance. I knew she was too soft for this life. And I would make her strong, I vowed silently, I would make her my equal. She will never crumble, and if she did, I would stand right by her side to hold her, to protect her, to keep her safe.Rowan said nothing more, he just stood up. “Keep an eye on her. She will either prove herself to be the best, or she will become the problem we will need to deal with.”I nodded, my smile faded for a second as the seriousness of the situation set in. I looked at him meaningfully, “We are all watching, Rowan. She is not the only one who has something to prove.”Rowan’s eyes met mine like he was warning me of something, but I just smirked, knowing, how a cer

Chapter: I don’t need your approvalRowan Blackwood POV:The morning sunshine filled the conference room, giving the place warm and cozy vibes.I casually reclined my chair, but my gaze was anything but relaxed.I watched Rowan sitting in his head seat, his expression cool and composed as he looked at me and Axel. But my gaze didn’t linger on him for long, as I turned my attention to Valerie, who was sitting on Rowan’s left. Her posture was straight, but I caught the uneasiness in her body that she was trying her best to mask. Though she had been working hard to keep her father’s business going, but she had struggled to get the same respect and things done that her father had.Axel was also seated to my left, and Valerie’s right chair remained silent. He looked rather relaxed and calm, but he was also the man who spoke less and acted more when it came to work.Right now, Valerie looked oblivious to the undercurrents passing through the room. She had been talking since the meeting began, her voice sounded like she was tr

Chapter: I know exactly what I want“Just waiting for you,” he replied and followed after me. “You have been busy.”“Work!!” I dryly replied.Raven smiled like I had just said something sweet. “Smart girl.”I stopped walking and looked at him. “Why do you keep showing up?”He shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. “Curiosity or may be something else.”I crossed my arms on my chest. “I am not a puzzle you need to solve, Raven.”“No, you’re a storm.” His eyes were intense as he looked into my eyes. “And storms either pass… or destroy everything in their way.”I replied nothing, but let his words sink into my soul, just because he thought I was capable of destroying everything that came my way, including him.One night, I couldn’t sleep. I stepped out onto the balcony of my room. The city lights were stretching out below me. The wind felt cold against my skin, but it felt good. It reminded me I was still alive.Elvis came out a minute later, and he held two cups of tea in his hand. “You look like someone who is about to jump

Chapter: You’re stepping on my sideElvis got up and said as he looked at Raven and then at me. “I will be right outside.”I watched Elvis’s back as he left the room. I took a step to walk out as well, but then his strong hand held my arm and pulled me back to face him. His grip was tight around my skin, which made me wince in pain. “Let me go.” I shook my arm to release his grip.Raven inched closer to me, so close that I could feel his breath wash over my face.I met his gaze, refusing to let him tower over me, control me, or dominate me. “What the hell do you want, Raven?”“Don’t trust everyone blindly, Valerie,” He said.Raven spoke in a voice that almost made me believe he cared. But wasn’t he one of everyone? So, I calmly nodded my head. “Yes, I am not believing everyone.” My meaning clear, I would trust everyone or anyone but him.“Oh.” Raven raised his brows, and then two seconds later he laughed, like I said, a joke? Then he patted my head. “Good. You’re quick to learn!”I felt weird for some reason, feeling th

Chapter: SIT DOWN, VALERIE!I looked at other leaders, ignoring Raven like he wasn’t present here. Some had neutral expressions, some looked like they were also looking forward to working with me, but one or two leaders looked like they didn’t like me here, but they didn’t say anything.The discussions began, covering various topics from territory disputes to financial agreements.“We’ve had some interference in our business, near the northern docks,” one of the local leaders said. “I believe some of Falcone’s men were spotted there.”Rowan leaned back slightly in his chair, and he looked coldly at the leader who spoke. “If they were mine, you wouldn’t be guessing.”The man’s jaw tightened, but he didn’t respond back.Harvey interjected smoothly, his tone neutral. “There might have been a miscommunication. We will have someone from our side review the patrol schedules. No one wants unnecessary conflict, especially not during transitions.”I nodded, keeping my voice calm. “Appreciated, Harvey. And yes, we’ll ensu
