Prologue:

Having a normal childhood was completely foreign to the mafia leader, Alexander Thunder. His normal was bloodbaths, killing sprees, weapons and violence.

Alexander was always bitter, angry and resentful and no one could blame him; being forced to watch his mother die, constant belittling and constant blood shed would do that to anyone.

Alexander grew up believing everything he went through was caused by mankind, that mankind deserved pain and death contrary to Bella's belief that everyone deserves a second chance.

He is cold, ruthless and unbelievably sexy. if that's not enough to draw you in, then the fact that he has illegal hobbies might put you over the edge.

Alexander's anger problems made him distasteful and feared until sweet funny little writer Bella Summer Rains waltz into his life. Soon Alexander finds himself addicted to the little writer but his past is dark, his present way darker , way too dark for him to share. Intensely drawn to her Alexander finds himself pursuing something for the first time in his life. He suddenly found himself doing anything he could to be with her, to talk to her, to protect her, to love her.

It didn't take him long to realize he had completely fallen in love with the funny, pouty defenseless girl but with a few bad choices and his guard let down will the people from his life threaten to take her away from him? When secrets unveil will Bella be able to see passed the Mafia's dark secrets or will everything shatter beneath him.

Alexander Thunder:

What is the meaning of life? The state of organisms preceding their death, characterized by biological processes such as metabolism and reproduction and distinguishing them from inanimate objects, the state of being alive and living. The English dictionary has a pretty long definition of the word, too much words and too much vocabularies and it still doesn't capture what it is. what life truly entails. what it truly means.

Does life mean breathing? Is there more to it? Biology sure doesn't think so.

Life should not be defined by long series of words.

Life is life.

Life for a beggar could be money, life for a blonde teenager could be love, life for a mother could be her children. In this story I am the blonde teenager. My life lived in another. A woman. Pure of heart. Dazzling smile and beautiful beyond words, Bella Summer Rains.

Bella suits her so well, like her name she is immense beauty and has me, Alexander Thunder, the toughest Mafia king wrapped around her petite fingers and I don't think she knows it.

I know if she knew what I did I'd be the last thing she wants. she'd detest me. she thinks I would leave her alone but I am here to stay. she owns me. its as simple as that.

She was the fire and I wanted to be burnt. like a moth to flame I could not resist.

I am broken. I am broken into a thousand pieces and she is my glue. she has the power to put me back together. I am at her feet.

I want her to ruin me

She calls him Xander.

He calls her Flower
