Is The Godfather Based On A Book

Demi merebut cincin pusaka keluargaku, tunanganku, Luca memotong jariku dengan pemotong cerutu. Dengan bangganya ia menyematkan cincin itu ke jari Putri Keluarga Oller, Sophia. Luca mengejekku, “Pantaskah seorang yatim piatu sepertimu memakai pusaka Keluarga Will, simbol sang Godmother?” Sophia memamerkan cincin itu sambil berpura-pura tersenyum lembut dan berkata, “Kak, jangan marah ya. Nanti biarkan Luca menggantikanmu dengan satu jari emas, gimana?” Seluruh tamu menertawakanku, tapi aku juga ikut tertawa. Sambil menghapus air mata, aku bertepuk tangan pada Luca dan berkata, “Selamat ya, Luca.” “Dengan satu jariku, kamu menukar seluruh jalan hidup Keluarga Will.” Melihat wajahnya yang kebingungan, aku tersenyum kejam. “Kamu pikir itu hanya sekedar pusaka?” “Bukan. Itu adalah kunci tunggal untuk mengaktifkan aset triliunan atas namaku.” “Sejak cincin itu lepas dari tanganku, Keluarga Will sudah resmi memulai hitungan mundur menuju kebangkrutan.”

Three months before my wedding, I found my fiancé buried deep inside my maid of honor. ​I gave Leo five years of my life. I ironed his shirts, managed his stress, and sacrificed my own dreams to build our perfect future. My reward? Standing in the doorway of our bedroom, listening to him call me "boring" while he ruined our bed with my best friend. ​Shattered, humiliated, and completely alone, I ran out into the freezing, torrential rain with nothing but the clothes on my back. I thought my life was over. I thought I had hit rock bottom. ​Until a massive black umbrella blocked out the storm, and a heavy, expensive suit jacket was draped over my trembling shoulders. ​Alexander. Leo’s incredibly wealthy, terrifyingly ruthless Godfather. ​He is older. Untouchable. The most feared man in the city and the patriarch who controls Leo’s entire inheritance. He is the ultimate forbidden fruit. ​He didn't look at me with pity as I sat bleeding and broken on the pavement. He looked at me with a dark, consuming hunger that made my breath hitch. Kneeling in the wet street, he wiped a tear from my jaw and whispered a promise that would change my life forever: ​"Tell me who did this to you, and I will ruin his life by morning." ​I only wanted a place to dry off. I only wanted a little bit of revenge. I never meant to let him back me against the marble counters of his penthouse. I never meant to crave his rough hands, his possessive growls, or the intoxicating danger of his bed. ​If Leo’s family finds out, it will destroy Alexander’s empire. ​But once the Godfather claims you... there is no going back.

The two spend one Sunday reminiscing the past expecting a closure in the end but the wonderful moment they share this time only makes it harder to achieve that closure so Cela has to put a stop to it saying, “Please don't think even for a second that there is still something left or something new to explore after everything that happened or did not happen. This is not a novel. This is reality. We don't get sequels or spin-offs in real life. We just continue. We move forward and that's how we get to the ending."

Misha and her boyfriend had an agreement that something would happen between them in bed in exchange for his agreement to elope with her. Before that, they decided to go to a bar and get drunk so their first experience in bed would be wild. Misha returned to the hotel first, claiming her boyfriend wasn’t drunk enough yet. In an unexpected turn of events, Misha entered the wrong hotel room. She woke up to the sensation of a hard, long object thrusting in and out of her womanhood.

The rain starts to hit at my window, I can see dull clouds slowly coming over. I frown as I look trying to ease my mind. Again my mood is reflected in the weather outside. I'm still unsure if it is 100% me that makes it happen, but it seems too much of a coincidence for it to not. It isn't often the weather reflects my mood, when it does it's usually because I'm riddled with anxiety or stress and unable able to control my feelings. Luckily its a rarity, though today as I sit looking out of the window I can't help but think about the giant task at hand. Can Iris unlock her family secrets and figure out what she is? A chance "meet cute" with an extremely hot werewolf and things gradually turn upside down. Dark secrets emerge and all is not what it seems. **Contains Mature Content**
