QueenFrieza

Excerpt: 
His lips left her neck only long enough to say, “If the invisible scars he left don't disappear now, I'll keep trying again and again until they do. Soon your body will know only me.” 

Her eyes were still swollen from her previous tears, but they began to water again for a far different reason than before. She tried to pull away and hide her face from him. 

“Promise me,” she uttered. “Promise me I'll never be in the same room as him ever again.” 

His fist clenched and he had to control his anger. 

Quieter than before he whispered, “I promise.”

How I Became The Alpha Mafia Boss' Target

Realizing that he and Sophia were supposed to be in his car as it exploded, Luca went into overdrive trying to figure out the next steps to his life. He went so far as to tell Serena that, if she didn't reach out to him soon, he would take it into his own hands.

Sure enough, that was enough to get a response from her.

Serena couldn't look at Luca the same way after witnessing him kill his own father. It wasn't even the illegal aspect that bothered her but the way he took AZ to get to the state of mind to do that.

While it had complicated her work, that wasn't what she was worried about. She had to distance herself for a while to figure out how to get him out of it.

The one promise she made to him at the very beginning was giving him freedom in return for all the information he gave her. Whether the freedom came in the form of death or going into hiding was to be determined.
