MY OUTLINE

Working Title: Kidnapped by the Mafia boss

Genre: Romance (Enemies to lovers trope)

Content Rating: 18+

Step 1: Write Down Your Ideas

-         A well known and feared mafia boss is forced to seek out a witness to a mafia related incident

-         There's more many thing that don't add up making the mafia see the girl as more useful dead than alive. 

Step 2: Turn the Ideas into a Plot

-        Dante a feared mafia boss running the show in NYC is forced to kidnap young amateur photographer Skyler.

-        The more Dante looks into Skyler and her past the more things don't seem to add up. Is it possible they've met before? Are they enemies? 

Questions that need to be considered:  

Why was Dante forced to kidnap Skyler?

While out trying to get the perfect shot of the NYC skyline for some commission work Skyler accidently photographs the mafia roughing someone up. Dante as the leader must figure out why she was there, who sent her and if she's a threat.

Why is Skyler there?

Her funds are running low and her rent is overdue. If she doesn't get the perfect photo before someone else she'll be on the street in no time. Something she can't afford to do.

What about her stops Dante outright killing her?

Killing her means never finding out who her employer is and why she was where she was at that exact moment. Something about her calls to him and intrigues him, he hasn't been intrigued by anyone in a very long time. He must ensure that the photos aren't going back to the enemy to be used against him

Step 3: Add Scenes, Characters, and Logic

Scene 1: Skyler

Skyler goes to her prime spot hidden away in the rooftops to take the perfect shot of the NYC skyline for her latest commission work. While there she takes multiple photos of the city from different angles capturing all sorts of night life. Upon returning home Skyler discovers she's in big trouble when she spots Dante Richards and his goonies in a couple of the photos, bashing a man in a back ally. The last photo she sees Dante staring up in her direction.

Scene 2: Dante

Dante pulls out his phone and calls his security team asking them to pull up security footage of anyone on the rooftops taking photos and to report back when they have something. A short while later as he is wiping his hands clean of blood he received a return call giving him the name and address of the photographer. Hearing her name surprises him as Skyler shouldn't be in his city she is the daughter of his enemy. Leaving his men to clean up he sets off to pay Skyler a visit.

Scene 3: Skyler

Bags packed Skyler quickly gives her apartment a once over before heading for the door. If Dante figures out who she is, which with his power wont take long, she will be screwed. Just as she's heading for the front door it's kicked open revealing none other than Dante Richards himself. She tries to run for the nearest window to escape but he quickly grabs her, pinning her arms to her sides as he holds her to his chest. He mocks her telling her coming here was the wrong idea and that he should kill her for entering his city. Instead he tapes her hands together and throws her over his shoulder.
