Slaying the Mob

Summary

Max This life. It’s a game. A very dangerous game where the losers always pay with their lives. To win big, you have to take risks. I always played to win because I had nothing to lose. Until the game changed, and the stakes became too high. I finally had something...someone...to keep safe. But winning big meant I could have it all. So, I took a final risk to secure my future with Sloane. I wanted it all, and it was finally within reach.  I broke the code. I violated trust. I lost focus. And the one I vowed to always love and protect. Sloane I let myself fall in love with a monster. And even though his soul is black as death, his heart is pure. But only I can see it.  I was warned to stay away from Max Oriani, that I’d become a target, that I’d be. Taken. Or worse. But the nightmare of living without him would be torture of the worst kind. So, I didn’t listen.  I gave him everything I have. And now, I have to pay the price. If I have any hopes of seeing him again.
