...PROLOGUE...

...Third Person Pov...

The world is full of unknown things you wouldn’t think existed and many people are oblivious to this

Thinking life is all rainbows and sunshines, When in reality it is more sinister when you think about it and that is the terrifying part

In the city that never sleeps New York, A powerful force and organization owns the entire city

The Mafia

The mafia is made up of ruthless men who thinks women are trophies, And are there to only please them when in reality the women should have their freedom as well

Some families marry off their children, While others have something else in mind and planned

Men in expensive suits and the women in fine decked out jewlery, Whith dresses that could cost more than 10 houses alone or maybe even more

Some women in the mafia loves the power the money and the finer designer things

While others have been forced to marry and be with a man they don’t love, Basiacally the men are the ones making the decision and the women just following

In the mafia there is always that one higher up, The one that makes every final decision unless not asked to

The one that has the final say in everything, And the one to not be disrespected or looked down upon

And if you do well count your days on earth, Or better yet just change your whole identity and never step foot in any countries or cities where people know who you are

His name sends shivers down many peoples backs, And have their faces as pale as a ghost

Athanasios Vasileios

A man that is not only intimidating and terrifying, But also a man known for his god like appearance and his voice that has made every woman weak in the knees

He is a man with looks that all women drool over and have naughty and sinful dreams and fantasies

Some women have also had those type of dreams even when they are laying next to their lover or husband, He is envied by many men and many women want to be the queen to rule his empire with him

Unfortunately for those women his days of playing around and sleeping around with women have long since came to an end

Yes he use to be a man that had one night stands only to let off some release, Or sexual frustration

Now being at the age of 35, The man is sophisticated and more mature than ever

And when he took over the mafia at the age of 20 after killing his parents, That also caused a change in him and made him the way he is

Cold

Heartless

Ruthless

Possessive

Obsessive

Intimidating

And a man that kept to himself and being a man of very few words

He has everything anyone could ask for, Money power luxury and many more but what is a king without his queen

The women he have encountered were nothing but money hungry women, A women thag only wanted him for his power his good looks and all the luxury

And seeing as in the mafia they still do arranged marriages

Many men have tried to stick their daughter on to him, But when you have a sharp gaze of a hawk you know what type of person someone is

Women that loves wearing tight clothing, Short dresses and try to fix their cleavages everytime he enters in a building

Those are the type of woman he have encountered, And also the type of women that is being offered to him so that their family can gain more power

Back then he would have jumped at women like that, But now that he has taken over the family business and have been tired of women like the women he use to have one night stands with

He only see them as the scum underneath his perfectly polished dress shoes

Short wavy midnight black hair that is always styled to the side neatly and having some strands falling on top of his forehead

Perfectly sharped and carved facial features, Neatly trimmed stubble on his face that is never out of place

Tan sun kissed skin with ink designes reaching all the way to his hands and slithering up his neck, broad masculine shoulders

Eight pack set of abs perfectly toned with a tall towering figure height of 6ft 11

And lastly his perfect plump lips that’s always set in a thin line, A straight but slightly crooked nose structure telling that he has been in some fights

And his most striking feature of them all is his pale bluish grey eyes that feels as though they are staring into your soul, And dimples along with his perfectly white pearly straight teeth

Women can look at him all day and never get tired of it

The only people he cares about is his two Bestfriends who are also his second and third in command

He is the leader of the Italian Greek mafia royal family, And yes he is of Greek and Italian descendent

His mother was Italian while his father was Greek, And the both of them were never good parents to him

They weren’t there for him like parents should be there, The only one that has been there for him is his grandfather

Also known as the second godfather of the Italian Greek mafia

Sadly he died in a ambush and his last words were for him to live on and be happy in the future, After he took his last breaths on this earth and his body went cold Anthanasios killed the three gangs that were involved and planned it

That was also the very first time he killed someone, And that definitely wasn’t his last

His parents met their demise when they found out his grandfather left everything to him

So they planned to kill their own son and live in luxury, But that was the only thing left to remember the older man that raised him as his own

And he would die before letting anyone take that, So when his parents were sleeping he entered their room locked the door and painted the room red

With the blood of his parents

After that he left them in his childhood home and ran away, Taking over the Italian Greek mafia

At the time he was only in his teens, His subordinates respect him and wouldn’t dream or dare to betray him because if they did they will suffer hell and not even god himself could save them

Which leads us to the current situation and scene, In the home of the man who decided to try and runaway not paying back the money he borrowed

And that caused the man’s wife and son to be dragged into the whole situation

Facing the same consequences their husband/father will suffer

_____________________

“P-pleas-se spa-re m-me “ The shivering man pleads tears streaming down his face

Athanasios just looks at the man his eyes bored and emotionless

Beside him on his right stood his second in command/underboss and Bestfriend Vincent Martinez

He was identified and found out when he tried to take some money from Athanasios, He is also known as a man that can crack into anything and not get caught

Oblivious to him he had bitten off more than he can chew and one of Athanasios men informed him of the incident

With Athanasios being the age of 25 and Vincent being the age of 24

Instead of killing him he seen someone with potential and can be of great use to him, Athanasios offered and Vincent accepted with no hesitation

Over the years Vincent proved his worth and showed his loyalty, Bumping him up to the status of the underboss

They had seen they had more in common then they thought and became close, Now Athanasios is 35 and Vincent is 34 their friendship still strong

Vincent disgusted gaze burns through the pathetic man crying and begging

His hazel almost black eyes burning into the man, He has always hated men like this

Men that is all happy happy when taking from someone who gives and not paying it back, But when it’s the end of the road they resort to begging and pleading

It reminded him of his parents he killed when he ran away at the age of 21

Vincent scoffs “How weak “ He says his Spanish accent mixed in with his English

The man tied up winces at the words, His wife and son are looking at the whole situation with confusion and terrified eyes

They are unable to speak due to the cloth wrapped around their mouth

“Your scaring them Vince, Don’t want the man to piss his pants “ Says the one on the left of Athanasios with a chuckle

The third in command of the Italian Greek royal mafia, But also the man that can take a gun apart with his eyes closed or covered and the man known as the best underground fighter there is

Tyler Carter a man full of surprises and the man known as an underground legend

He is cunning manipulative and also ruthless, He was taught about guns from his father that had sadly died of cancer and also the man known as his role model

His mother was a woman that loved and craved money

Tyler father owned a big well known and popular company, But he was also a gangster on the side and also very respected

So his mother got with his father for the money, She would cheat and threaten Tyler to keep his mouth shut and if he didn’t then he would receive a beaten

His father knew that she was cheating but when she put her hands on him for the first time

Tyler’s father didn’t hesitate to bring out his gun and shoot her between the eyes

After that his father wasn’t locked up considering he knew one of the chief officers and explained the whole situation, So the officer covered it up and let Tyler and his father live life happily

And when his father died he automatically lost the will of living and also started doing illegal things

That is how he met Athanasios and Vincent, All three of the men went to one of the exclusive clubs owned by Athanasios and clicked automatically

Going through the same procedure as Vincent and proving his loyalty

Later on in the months he was bumped up to the superior title of being the third in command

“How dull “ Athanasios deep baritone voice says as he looks at the man who has eyes of pleading

Athanasios has always been known to be ruthless, So the man’s begging is of no use and since he didn’t heed his first warning he will send the two people the man loves dearly to the gates of heaven

While he arrives at the gates of hell, “Tyler Vincent, Enjoy yourselves “ Athanasios says and with that he walks out

“Yes Boss “ Both Tyler and Vincent says as the door shuts and the powerful man makes his way out of the small house

One of his men hold the door open with a bow, The door closes and the vehicle leaves the location of the man who will no longer be present along with his wife and son

In the mafia there is no time for weak people, And especially people that thinks it’s ok to take and not pay back

And Anthanasios wasn’t labeled as the most ruthless and cold man for nothing

If you borrow something from someone in the mafia, Then you better have been ready to pay it back because if not then your just a sitting duck waiting for your life to be ended

...Third Person Pov...

Meanwhile on the other side of the country, The chilly night air blows through the air of London as people walk to finally get home after a long night

Cars driving by and making way to their destination, London during the night is a sight to see

The beautiful lights the London bridge, And just smelling the cafes that have closed and the left over scent of the goods and treats

Would make anyone drool, In all of the late night mix is a young woman walking home from her dance class

Long beautiful silky light brown hair swaying side to side some curls framing her face

Baby hairs laid delicately on her forhead, Light caramel skin complexion and the tint of pink on her heart shaped soft gentle feminine features

Her height of 5ft 5 her slim petite timid but curvaceous body structure, Small button nose plump rosy red lips and lastly her beautiful pale emerald green eyes

Any man who would look at her can tell she gives off that innocent pure but elegant persona

Something to innocent for the dangers lurking around, She was the embodiment of innocent pure and exotic

Solar King

A half American half London descendent, And unlike most girls her age she is really shy introvert and quiet

At the age of 20 years old she is more of a stay in type of person, And you could basically call her a hermit considering she rarely goes out and likes to stay to herself

Living with her grandparents and she only has two bestfriends, They are all also in the same dance class

“So beautiful “ Her soft feminine and gentle voice says as she looks up to the sky at the stars

She has always been a socially awkward person and doesn’t talk much, She is also known as an Angel or even a goddess because of her appearance and also not what’s just on the outside but also the inside

Finally making it to her little cozy home she shares with her two grandparents

...Solar Pov...

Pushing open the door “I’m home grandma and grandpa “ I say as loud as my voice can go

I have also been known to be a soft spoken person, And also not talking a lot only when it’s needed

“Welcome home princess “ Grandpa Luke greets me with a hug and a kiss to my temple, I smile and kiss his cheek

Grandpa Luke and Grandma Jenna are both from my mother side

My grandpa from my dads side had passed away, While my grandma doesn’t contact me so I just let it be I only wish for her safety

“Welcome home love “ Grandma Jenna voice brings me back as she gives my cheek a kiss and I giggle

We make our way to the dining room and seeing all the food on the table makes my tummy growl, Washing my hands I sit and we say prayer before digging in

“So how was dance class “ Grandma asks

I send her a smile “It went well, I have to wake up early tomorrow and be there at six “ I say referring to the trip we are going on to New York City

I am a professional ballet dancer and we are going to New York City for the competition

I have always heard about New York the city that doesn’t sleep, Also Olivia and Nyla will be going as well

Grandma sends me a smile “I can tell your excited, Just remember to be careful “ She tells me her voice worried

“That’s right and remember to call us every night, If anything happens to my princess I’m blowing the roof off the ballet school “ He says his voice stern and serious

I smile at his worry “I will grandpa “ I say as he sends me a smile in return

I came to live with Grandpa and Grandma because my mother had died of a car crash on her way home, And my father he died serving the army

I was just seventeen at the time, They both were beautiful souls and I will always admire them

My mother was a veterinarian and also a doctor, My father an army general

We finished up dinner talking laughing and enjoying ourselves, “You go get some sleep, You have a big day tomorrow and I don’t want you tired “ Grandma says and I nod

Giving her one last kiss on the cheek I make my way upstairs and to my bedroom

...HER BEDROOM...

Entering I pick out my night clothes first and then head to the shower readying to do my night routine

Deciding to also play some music I turn on my Bluetooth, { Love Language , By. Queen Najia } is what I play before stepping into my shower

I love rap and everything but if I had to choose a genre it would be R&B or just relaxing music, And back in the day music

I also get into my moments were I will play some Disney music, Or from my childhood

After finishing everything I exit out of my bathroom and start moisturizing my legs and body

Slipping on my pajamas I head over to my vanity, Brushing my long hair and putting it up in a messy bun with som strands falling in my face

My baby hairs laid gently, I have always used my lavender and roses shampoo and conditioner the smell is always lovely

Incoming Group FaceTime Call

Walking over to my bed I pick up my phone and answer it

“Yay my beauty picked up, Hey beauty “ Nyla face comes in the camera

Smiling at her words “Hi “ I say with a giggle and a smile on my face

Nyla is the same age as me and she is the fun and outgoing one in the group

She moved here from Africa and she stays with both her parents, She also has one older brother who is also nice but he has a flirty personality

Her appearance and looks has had many guys drool, With a dark brown skin complexion a slim thick body structure

Sharp features with plump pink lips a straight and medium sized nose

Her hair that is always in its natural fro, A height of 5ft 7 and lastly her Hazel chocolate brown eyes

She is a fun person to be around and she also has that feisty and sassy side to her, But she also has a daring side

“Calm down we all seen each other today, So dramatic “ Olivia says as she washes her face indicating she just got out the shower

Nyla pouts “Your no fun “ She says as she goes back to painting her nails and toes

Olivia just shakes her head but we can see a smile on her face, Olivia is the mother hen of the group and also very overprotective

She is a beautiful half Latina half Mexican and her and her mom and dad moved here after Olivia got a scholarship to our dance class

Also she is an only child like me, She has blackish brown curly hair that reaches pass her shoulders

Big doe brown eyes and a small heart shaped face, A button nose and plump lips she als stands at the height of 5ft 4

A slim but petite figure on the skinny side, And lastly her porcelain light skin complexion

She is very protective of me and Nyla both, And she is also the one that scolds Nyla whenever she does something wrong

Even with all of that she still has a playful side to her and she can be fun at times, But also blunt and straightforward

Bringing the covers over me, I sit up grabbing my book from my side night stand and opening it to the left on chapter I left of with

“So anyways are you girls excited for the trip tomorrow “ Nyla asks excitement evident in her voice

I hum “Yes I am, I can’t wait to take pictures of everything and try some of their foods “ I say with a smile

Olivia speaks up “I can’t wait to see the different types of clothes they have that we don’t “ She Says brushing her hair

“I’m only there for the men, Ooh we should definitely go to a night club “ Nyla says

Shaking my head at what she says, Another thing about Nyla is that she is a real party girl

I have never been to a club, Let alone a college or HighSchool party neither have I had a boyfriend

There has been guys trying to woo me and get me to date them, But I haven’t had the feeling or the need to get one

Nyla and Olivia on the other hand has had plenty of boyfriends, I’m not sure if they are still virgins being that it’s none of my business

“I could go for a little fun and a drink, What about you Sola “ Olivia says using my nickname

“I’m not sure that’s a good idea “ I say nervously not knowing if it’s a good idea

Nyla sits up and grabs her phone “Aww come on beauty, You need to let loose live a little instead of reading a book and staying in “ She says pleading

Her and Olivia both give me the puppy eyes, Sighing I guess I could go and watch over them

“Ok fine, But I’m not drinking and no boys for me “ I say and Nyla squeals while Olivia sends me a smile and chuckle

“I also looked up the most popular club there and I found one, But I will leave it as a surprise for you two “ Nyla says with a huge grin

Shaking my head I know this will not be good, Hopefully nothing happens

After that we talk a little more and hang up getting ready for bed

Putting my book on my nightstand, Making sure all of my electronics are charged I lay my head on my soft pillow

Thinking about how life would be if mother and father were still alive

I know they are up in heaven looking down on me and I know they are proud, And I am also grateful for that them seeing my dancing and the choices I am making in life

All I have to do is keep striving and I know one day I will be bigger then what I am now

I want to travel the world and see outside of my domain, That has always been my dream

Going above and beyond, I have other hobbies as well

Architect

Painting

Drawing

Modeling

And decor designing, I wish to someday have my own company and do the things I like than just dancing

I know that I have people that would support me, And I definitely know that Olivia and Nyla will also support me and be there for me

The same way I would be there for them, I also wish to someday have a husband and kids

I know my soulmate is out there somewhere, But I will not rush because if I do then it could either go right or it can either go wrong

But for now I will work on my future and focus on my life

God will send him to me when it’s time, And I will be there waiting with open arms for the man that will be mines till death do is part

With that last thought in mind dreamland consume me and I am out like a light

Little did I know, New York will be the start of something new and dangerous for me ………..

...Solar Pov...

“Remember what we said love. Call us when you land “ Grandpa Jenna says as she gives me a bone crushing hug and a kiss on the cheek

I smile “I will grandma and grandpa. I promise “ I tell them both

They smile and grandpa Luke gives me a loving hug, Also kissing my forehead as I giggle

Smiling at them one last time. With that I grab the handle of my suitcase and make my way to the line that the other girls and boys in our dance class awaits

It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t nervous. I am internally panicking

While on the outside I am excited and giddy. This will be the very first trip I have ever gone on and that to away from my guardians

When I was younger I was always homeschooled. To nervous to be in crowded places

My parents being their understanding selves. They didn’t force me and did what I felt the most comfortable with

And that was online schooling. I have never been one to fit in with groups of children being I liked to stay to myself and be alone

Till this day I am still the same. But it’s different now that I have Olivia and Nyla

And when I want my time alone. They give me my space and never judged or pushed on not letting me have my own space

For that I am truly blessed. And lucky to have those two their parents are nice and lovely people as well

I envy those two for the parents they have. But I am never jealous or hate them for it

It was just my parents time to be called home earlier than expected. And they both raised me with love and care and that’s everything I could ever ask for

Their parents are still here because the man above haven’t called them home yet

So what’s the point in being jealous or hate them for the fact their parents are still here. If anything I’m happy they are because both the girls I call my bestfriends have a lot to show them in the future

“Over here beauty “ Coming out of my thoughts hearing Nyla voice I smile

Walking over to the row they are seated at. Being careful not to bump into people

I finally make it and sit in the seat closest to the window. “Hey girlies “ I say and take a seat as they both smile at me

“It’s finally happening. I can’t wait till we make it and I can’t wait to see the city night lights “ Olivia says with excitement in her voice

Nyla and me both agree with her. “You can say that again. This is gonna be the best trip ever “ She says

We hold light conversation as everyone is still entering the plane. Half of them being older people and people going to different places

...“Please buckle in your seatbelts. As we are now taking off “...

The speaker above us says as everyone buckle in. And the plane engine starts up

“Eeeek I’m so ready “ Nyla quietly squeals as the plane starts moving

Looking out the window I see us going faster and faster down the runway. The plane lifts off the runway and we are lifted in the sky

The pressure making my stomach tighten. I close my eyes and calm down my breathing and panic

Even if this is my second time on a plane ever since coming here to stay with my grandpa and grandma. It feels as if it’s my first time

Knowing this is something I’m gonna have to get use to

If I wanna travel the world and see different places. I know not all of them will be required to take a plane but I still have to be ready

...“We are finally in the air. I hope you all enjoy so sit back and relax “...

The same ladies voice in the intercom says. Everyone unbuckle their seatbelts and pull out things to keep them entertained

“Wow the sky looks so beautiful “ Olivia says as we all look out the small window and see the clouds

I nod “indeed it is lovely. And also relaxing “ I say as I admire the clouds and the blue sky

Another thing I love is a beautiful view. I have also dreamed of living in the forest in a nice modern like mansion

Waking up and hearing the nature life outside. And seeing the beautiful forest trees and greenery

Peaceful

Calming

Relaxing

Is how I wish my life to be. Being able to paint while sitting outside as the smell of the forest invades my nose

Or just doing my yoga and meditating as the cool air nip at my skin

That is my happy place. And seeing as I want to make my dreams a reality I will not stop until I make it come true and look at it all knowing I did it

“Well I’m gonna watch me some Netflix. Just tap me if you girls need anything “ Nyla says as she takes out her AirPods and her neck pillow and blanket

We nod Olivia does the same. But instead of watching Netflix she goes to her apple playlist and put in her AirPods

And holding a fashion magazine. Lastly I take out my phone and AirPods

Putting them in I grab one of my many books I brought. If I’m not reading on wattpad then I am either reading a normal book

Or either reading a manga and other times watching anime

Anime also being where my dream men are at. I don’t find myself wired for liking fictional or made up men

And I don’t mind being judged by people either. I have a mindset of a older person but I also have a mindset of a kid

Guessing it’s from me being socially awkward and nervous talking to people

People other than my grandma and grandpa. Or people other than Nyla and Olivia

Instead of partying I would rather stay inside and read a book. Or do my other indoor house things

Or also worrying about my future than having a boyfriend. Or doing sinful things girlfriends and boyfriends do

I am twenty years old and still a ******. But I don’t mind it because I want all my firsts to be for the man I know I will be with for the rest of my life

Not that I look down on the women that have did those things earlier or at the same age

I’m just the type of person that would rather save all of those for the man my heart pounds rapidly for

Or for the man that makes me all tingly inside. I’m not gonna be the type of woman that just wants her virginity taken by a man because just because I feel embarrassed that I’m still inexperienced

I will not use a man just for that reason. I wouldn’t care if I live out the rest of my life as a ****** because I haven’t found the right one

Call me weird, crazy, or just plain idiotic. To me a my virginity is a big part to me

And I will cherish it like a prized possession. And when the time come if I do give it to a man that just up and left

I wouldn’t be upset about it or mad at the man. I wouldn’t even regret it because it was my choice and if I felt at that moment to give it away

Then what is there for me to be upset and embarrassed for

Neither would I ask the man to take responsibility for me. I would never force a man into something like that

Even he doesn’t want to be with me. Then he doesn’t have to

Opening the page where I left off. I play one of the songs from my playlist { 4 Page Letter , By Aaliyah }

With that I read my book and go to my happy place …………
