"Alora, there is no love in our world. The sooner you learn that the better."
I loved to set things on fire and watch the red and orange dance, ruining anything it touched, turning it dark, singeing it. It was kind of beautiful the way fire glowed, the way it changed things.
My love affair with fire began that day, she has been my volatile mistress since.
“What is your name?” “Luka, but you can call me Daddy.”
🤣 the balls on this kid
“We have each other's backs no matter what.” “You and me against the world. La Famiglia è Tutto.”
“Hmm little penis,” I turned and looked at Arturo, “big shocker there.” I shrugged and squirted fuel all over his tiny cock.
“We’ll see about that. I will go through with this, only because I fully intend to rule over this city when the time comes. And for now, I don't have any other options. If you get in the way of that, I will kill you.” He leaned forward, a few inches from my face. “I have a couple of things I would like you to get straight. I have zero desire to rule over the Volante outfit and zero desire to marry you. Frankly, you're not my type. And this little arrangement that has been made, puts a kink in my plans. I will play this game for now. But if you get in my way, Vixen, I won't hesitate to slice

I know what it is like to live with a man that hates you. That doesn't love you. Promise me you will try.” Tears poured from her eyes. “Do it for me.” “Alright, mom. I will try.”
She had on a long black dress, a bouquet of black and red roses in her hand, and a black veil down her back.
Good for you, I thought to myself. Stick it to them.
Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all. If we don’t kill each other that is.
“Ouch, I'm hurt. You don’t want me? But I am such a catch, I mean look at me.” I rolled my eyes and shook my head. “You are very full of yourself.”
That he is girl that he is
“I’m going to kill him.” Marco nodded. “I’ll help you.”
“Alora, I love you. Now get on this fucking elevator or let me go take care of this myself.”
But for me, monsters didn't exist in my head. They weren't creatures under the bed or hiding in closets. They walked around daily and sat across from me at breakfast. In my life monsters were real.
“This is for my mother.” I stabbed him again, “this is for Max.” I stabbed again, “this is for all those girls and women.” He looked at me, an evil grin still on his face. ”And this is for me.”
“There is no love in this world, in the end, everyone betrays you.”
“The Devil is dead. I killed him.”
“I am never,” “I know, you’ll never be the girl I need. That's bullshit. I keep telling you I don't need anything but you, I want you just like this. My wife, my Vixen. There is no one else in this world I would rather fight with than you.”
“We took out Gabriele together, and now we burn the entire fucking empire down together, side by side.”
“Give me one damn sign that you give a shit about me. Something that tells me I’m not alone in this. Just give me something to fight for.”
“You’ve been carrying my wedding day cufflinks in your pocket for three weeks?”
“This will be interesting.” He nodded. “It will be. Are you good with this?” “I don’t have a choice in the matter, do I? This is a man's world; I am just in it.”
“Wife.” He pulled me to stand. “I have never bowed to any man. Rossi men, don't bow, made men don’t bow. But for you Alora Volante Rossi,” he dropped to one knee looking up at me, “I would kneel for eternity my queen. I propose Alora Volante be named head of the Volante Family and take her rightful seat at this table.”
“Alora Rossi, leader of the Volante family, eleventh member of The Consortium, equal to all who sit at this table.”
‘You go in there and take over The Volante Family like the badass boss you are! You got this! I will see you soon when we bring Max to you. Luv ya Lor.’
“I have seen the darkest, most evil parts of this world. I’m not cut out to live a normal life. A marriage, kids, white picket fence?" He sighed. “I’m too messed up. I was put into this world against my will. But You, Luka, and Arturo are changing things, and not all the bosses agree with how some of the families run things. I don’t want to be part of the world Gabriele and Stefano built, I want to be part of the world I believe you; Luka and your allies are building.”
“The black dahlia also symbolizes a commitment and eternal bond between two people.”
My heart is yours do with it what you will.”
“Alora, I know you don't need a man to protect you. You are completely capable of protecting yourself. But every fiber of my being wants nothing more than to protect you from harm.”
“You know you're crazy? Anyone who could love someone like me has to be crazy.” “Loving you makes me feel crazy sometimes,” he laughed, pressing his lips to mine, “but your kind of crazy makes me feel sane.”
“It’s me. I am Wrath.”
‘You not worry I am a big strong boy, and I will protect her.’ He put his hand on my belly, ‘and Arturo more strong. I know he help her safe too.’
“I will always protect you and keep you safe. I guess I am fulfilling a promise I never knew I made. I love you, Alora Rossi, and I plan on spending the rest of our lives showing you how much.”
“Don’t give up on me.”
