Dark Romance

“Can I please have my underwear back?” He looked at the piece of orange fabric bunched up in his hand. “You mean this?” and then he did the most surprising thing. He brought my underwear to his nose and took a long whiff. Maybe it was the way he closed his eyes in blissful satisfaction or the way he half groaned and half moaned, but I was reminded of how he had shed my clothes earlier on and fucked my senses to oblivion. “I’m sorry, but I can’t give you back.” “Why?” I whispered. He crossed the room in large, languid strides and stood before me. “Because I need this as proof that I just had the sweetest fuck of my life, and it wasn’t all in my head.” ********************************************* Iris Carter is a disgraced journalist plagued by a terrible past and just wants to pay off her family's debt. Alessandro 'Les' Scavo is New York's most eligible billionaire bachelor running away from a dark past. He's back in town to bury his father and go back to New York as soon as possible. What happens when he has a one night stand with Iris and becomes obsessed with her? Will he leave her behind and go back to New York or will he embrace his dark past and go toe to toe with Hills' most ruthless Mafia Don over her? What happens when Iris' stumbles upon a deadly secret that can be the downfall of the whole underground crime world and is also the reason why Les left town in the first place? Will she run like she did in the past or will she stay and fight against the powerful organization that destroyed her life and murdered her best friend?

THIS BOOK IS UNDER MAJOR EDITING!! I experienced a severe trauma that left me creatively stumped and I hate that it affected Les and Iris. I'm just getting my mojo back so pardon the errors. All chapters are being edited and fixed at the moment. Thank you for understanding.

This one got me from the very first chapter.. I have a thing for morally grey men and I just found a new one to love… I cannot wait to find out what happens next and how it happens. If love was a book, I would be chasing this one down.

Prologue
Two Months Ago IRIS' P.O.VWhat have I done?I waited to feel regret, but none came. Still, I couldn't help the trembling in my bones and the ache between my legs as I tiptoed around the hotel room, picking my clothes from the floor and pulling them on.My phone buzzed once, calling my attention, and I picked it from the bedside drawer. When I flipped it open, I saw a message from my best friend, Hilda.Hilda: Are you done?Hilda: You’re running out of time!My entire body rang with alarm as I checked my wristwatch. If I am not back home in an hour, I am as good as dead!Me: Be right down!Cursing softly, I scrambled about, more frantically this time, looking for other misplaced items of mine. I didn't care if the man taking a shower in the bathroom heard me. I found all my belongings except one, and I could have left without it, if it wasn’t my favourite piece.The sound of the shower turned off, and immediately, I froze in panic. I was supposed to be gone before he came out. In a sp

Chapter 1: So Many Things I Hate
IRIS' P. O. VThere was a reason why Massimo Scavo was known to be a ruthless underground crime boss. He was a predator, and I was the unfortunate prey, bound to him by debt and a ring. On a cold Wednesday morning, his hand travelled down my hips and slid between my thighs. “No!” I gritted out, trying to close my legs, but a chunk of his two hundred pound body was already wedged between them. “Please, Massimo stop!” But he didn’t. Instead, his hand went further up my thighs, drawing up my silk robe. “Massimo, please! We aren’t married yet! This wasn’t part of the deal!” My fiancé paused and looked at me with merciless, dark brown eyes, then he gripped my chin roughly. “You’ll soon be my wife anyway, so why not get this over with. Mhm?” His hot breath fanned my ears as his hand brushed against my panties, causing panic to settle deep within my bones. I looked at his disgusting face and wondered why I couldn’t have been engaged to someone good-looking. At least if he were half as

Chapter 2: Big, Big Trouble!
Shortly after Massimo climbed in, we leave his estate, riding for about two hours until we get to a point where the road becomes packed with reporters and cameramen, all vying for the pictures of the elite invited to the private burial of famous billionaire, Alessandro Scavo’s father.Then we drove about half a mile until we reached a mansion, and it was nothing like I had ever seen. I thought Massimo's manor was the biggest in the region, but I was wrong, the Scavo mansion was twice as huge and as wide as half an acre. My phone buzzed, and I checked it to see a message from my best friend, Hilda.“Where are you?!” She asked.“Already here.” I typed back. “What’s up?”“You need to get in asap! Alessandro Scavo is here!”My brows furrowed in confusion. "Who is that?!”“Oh, I forgot Massimo cut you off from the internet. Alessandro is the best thing since sliced bread. He's so handsome my heart breaks every time he smiles.”My lips curl into the faintest smile as I read Hilda's text gush

Chapter 3: The Worst Criminal
IRIS P.O.V A sound startled me awake.It sounded like an engine that was refusing to start. Then I felt the warmth searing my back and Massimo's rough breathing behind my ears.Of course, he was snoring.Anger, disgust and other vile emotions made me grit my teeth, grab his hand from my waist and shove it back roughly. At this point, I gave zero fucks if he woke up and complained.In one move, I was pushing back the covers and sitting up in bed. With my head in my hands, memories of the previous day washed over me. After Hilda had given me the news, I had gone numb all over and had drank too much champagne till my legs wobbled in their heels and I almost caused a scene.I vaguely remember Hilda informing Massimo of my friend's demise, and Alessandro had arranged for me to be taken to one of the bedrooms in his mansion.After that, everything else had become hazy. I had ended up throwing my guts, and Hilda had held my hair through it all. Massimo didn’t once check in on me, but I was s

Chapter 4: Blackmail
IRIS P.O.VTwo days later, I’m back in Massimo's house, a bit broken and devastated. After Alessandro had walked in, Massimo had explained what I had done to incur his wrath, and they had spoken in Italian before Massimo stormed off. Because I was naked, I had scrambled for my towel and had been terribly embarrassed. Alessandro had closed the distance between us, and my terror had escalated. He simply put a hand under my chin and moved it to the side, and I didn't miss the way it hardened when he saw my wound. After that, he had arranged for a doctor to come see me and patch my wound, and I didn't see him again after that. Now, I was here at dinner with Massimo’s extended family, talking over one another as they chatted away in Italian and English.I barely knew any of them, and they rarely looked my way, which was fine with me. The only people I was acquainted with were Julian and Marco, who were Massimo’s sons and were seated opposite me.I didn't know much about Marco because he

Chapter 5: A Monster
IRIS' P. O. VStanding next to Massimo, Les whispers something in my fiancé's ear while staring intently at me. Massimo turns to look at me, making me wish the ground would open and swallow me up.Massimo beckons for me, and I rise on shaky legs, making my way to his table slowly, while my gaze shifts from Massimo to Les and back.How could Les betray me like this?!I reach the table and Massimo looks at me with a hard expression. "What's wrong with you?""What?" I blink."You're shaking all over.""Oh." was what I could say. "Not feeling well." I answered with a quick smile.Massimo watches me for a moment before speaking, "My nephew needs directions to my private wine collection, take him there and after that, guide him to my office. I'll meet you there and then you can go."I blinked in surprise. “That’s it?”Massimo looked at me like I was stupid. “Was there something else you were expecting?”I immediately shook my head. “No.”I caught Les' gaze, which was cold and expressionless.

Chapter 6: Calm But Dangerous
IRIS’ P.O.V The room Les brought me to was a storage room but it had been rearranged to accommodate a small table and two chairs. On this table was a small platter of food that seemed to be from the main course that was spread hours ago at dinner. I looked at Les, and then the food on the table. “What's going on?” I whispered, barely able to contain my feelings. “Are you trying to date me or something?” A corner of his lips tilted up in a smile. “I'm not that romantic,” he said, causing me to smile too. “Please, if you’ll allow me.” He said, motioning to the table. He placed a hand gently on my left arm and I had to bite my bottom lip, so I don’t remember how he touched me that night. I followed his guidance as he led me to the table and pulled out a chair for me to sit. "Why did you need to go to your Uncle's private wine collection?" I asked. Les smiled to himself. "Because I needed an excuse to be alone with you." Our gazes collide. "That and because my uncle promised to sh

Chapter 7: A Gun
IRIS’ P.O.V My body began to tremble of its own accord the closer Massimo got. “Relax.” Les said and my body instantly obeyed.Massimo eyed me with a strange expression before turning to Les. “I hope she got you the wine, nephew?” My breath hitched once again, and panic ran through me like a wildfire. “Yes, Uncle.” Les replied, making me turn to him in disbelief. “It's in your office already.” My mouth dropped open some more as I wondered how and when. At that point in time, Massimo received a call, so he dismissed me with a hand and motioned to his nephew to follow him into his office but Les doesn't follow immediately, which made me approach him with wide eyes. “How were you able to do that?!” I whisper-shouted. “Is the wine really in there?!”Les beamed down at me. “Yes. It is.” “But, how?” Les explained how he had gone down to the cellar while I was eating and had put the bottle in his Uncle's office. “I wanted you to have enough time to get some food in and not rush when t

Chapter 8: Fall To His Death
IRIS’ P.O.V My eyes didn't leave the gun as Massimo waddled towards me. A bead of sweat hurriedly traveled down my back as I stood, rigid and paralyzed, in the anticipation of my death. Massimo must have found out about the key and considering what he did to that Mexican boy, there was no point in giving excuses anymore. Every fiber of my being trembled and when Massimo got close, I held my breath, squeezed my eyes shut and waited for the bang that would end it all. The first thing I felt was the essence of Massimo's body passing by me. ‘Okay, was he planning on shooting me from the back?’ I wondered. My heart pounded once, then again, and when nothing happened, I squint one eye open to find my fiancé wandering aimlessly about the room. His eyes seemed half-lidded, his head hung low and his mouth slack open and then it dawned on me.Massimo was sleepwalking. I almost laughed in disbelief until I remembered the gun in his hand. A sleepwalker and a loaded gun was a very bad combo

Chapter 9: It's A Scavo Thing
LES’ P.O.V I heard her swallow on the other end of the line. “Please hold on,” she said, and from my point of view, I watched her ease out of bed and head for the bathroom. I wished there was a camera there too. Maybe I should have one installed just so I can watch her. Some part of me, the decent part that I had created to overshadow my past self screamed at me that I would be invading her privacy. Then the other part of me, the one that made up majority of who I am and is also the one I try to keep buried doesn't even give a fuck about her privacy. She gave that up the moment she had that gun to her head. When I found the balcony doors open and my uncle about to sleepwalk to his death, it had felt like watching a bad TV soap opera and deep inside, I was rooting for the fall. When I saw the same wish on Iris’ face, I knew she was planning his death and I suddenly wasn't all for it anymore. If my uncle had died at that moment, a lot of things would have happened and it would not
