At 23, Ash thought life was finally settling down. A bartender in the bar of the man who once gave him a second chance, he tried to leave the shadows of his past behind. His mother’s death left a void, and his father’s absence felt like a blessing—until everything came crashing down.

Dragged into the dangerous orbit of Nik and Dmitri, two infamous mafia twins, Ash finds himself caught between family secrets, ruthless power struggles, and a past he never wanted to face. Loyalties are tested, trust is a luxury he can’t afford, and forbidden desires threaten to blur the line between survival and surrender.

As generations-old grudges resurface and dangerous schemes unfold, Ash must navigate a world where one wrong move could cost him everything—even his heart.

We'll be sitting for our  SAT exams soon, so we won't be able to upload any new chapters for the next two weeks. We're really sorry about the pause 😔🙏 Once the exams are done, we promise to release lots of chapters to make up for the missed time!


Thank you all for your understanding and love 💖 Wish us luck! 🍀
