THIS IS A REPOST, BECAUSE FF HATES US ALL
My dear little broccolis💚💚💚
💚 So, this is me doing a favour to one of the readers who wanted the story swapped with the Twilight characters. The updates will be daily unless there is a major thing going on, and the story is unbeta, so the grammar mistakes and typos are mines, and yes, I know there will be a few. ALSO, Bella will have blue eyes in his story, for plot-related reasons.
💚 But before you strap in, just a couple of warnings. Any person used to my FF writing knows that my stories are STRONGLY out of characters. I like to play with expectations, I like to make a usually hated character loved, I like to have characters who have flaws. There is no black and white, just grey all over the place.
💚Also, know that this story will be with a majority of Edward's PoV, and that, no matter how weird or filler a chapter is, it is here on purpose. I love placing hints and foreshadowings chapters in advance, and though they are hard to find at first, they become obvious at the second reading, or when you're used to my writing.
💚 Also, also, this is a fair WARNING, as the summary says, this story sets place in the mafia world, meaning that some dark themes will be touched upon. I usually put a warning at the beginning of the strong chapters, but the story is rated M for a reason, and it's not just because of the lemon. Those themes are needed for the integrity of the story and can't be skipped. So if you think you won't be able to read it, I understand and implore you to turn around now before you get invested in this tale. Otherwise, welcome on board.
💚Anyway, all I have to say is enjoy the ride, and don't forget to let me know what you think at the end of this prologue.
Love, Mina💚💚💚

Prologue: (0,4K)
Edward's PoV
Edward was nervous, his last request ringing back through the small static from the connection. Charlie Swan could be a very angry man, although comparing that to his calming tone made him seem professional and not at all terrifying. Almost letting Edward forget that his boss was a crime lord. Not just a crime lord, the crime lord. Head of Idris, an exclusive elite of very capable men who led the mafia around the world.
"I suppose it's a small request. I will be at the hotel by seven and we can continue this conversation." Edward was actually surprised to hear that Charlie would be there that early in the morning since he was at the moment several hours drive away from New York.
Heaving a sigh of relief as the phone line went dead, he leaned further into the bathroom sink. He had locked himself in there to make his phone call, and even though it was finished he couldn't bring himself to come out. Turning the tap, Edward submerged his hands and hissed as the icy water touched his face. He had tried to complete his mission, but it was becoming more difficult than he had bargained for. The dark copper-haired man hoped that Charlie could replace him before he did something stupid.
Edward wasn't a bad man, he didn't enjoy torturing children nor did he rob banks during his lunch break, but he was not a good man either. Ten years ago, on his eighteenth birthday, Charlie Swan had saved him from a life of petty crime, offering him a real position in his underground circle. Edward thought back to how eager he had been, practically vibrating with the excitement to be a part of something bigger, to belong.
And over the years, Charlie had shown Edward that he was trusted and accepted, both something Edward wasn't used to feeling. Charlie's faith in Edward was absolute. The proof sat in the next room. Charlie's most precious possession, his only daughter, the apple of his eyes.

💚 So this is just a Prologue, which is why it is so short. This prologue is actually a flash-forward so the whole story will start a few years back, when Edward is 16, just so you can all understand the connection between the characters.
💚So, let me know what you thought of this chapter. What was your favourite part? What do you think will happen in this story?
💚 Stephanie Meyer owns the names of the characters from the Twilight Saga. Everything else is mine.
