If you read about my life in a book, you’d probably find it fascinating. From the inside, it’s just a suffocating nightmare. I used to know what peace felt like. I knew what it was like to be safe in a massive house, protected by parents who loved me. I was just a normal kid coming home from school, looking forward to nothing more than my favorite TV show. I still remember the exact moment the broadcast intercepted the screen. I remember the cold dread that pooling in my stomach as my parents’ photos appeared beneath a headline of absolute finality. I stared at the television, waiting for the broadcast to cut away, waiting for someone to scream 'Gotcha!' Nobody did. The silence that followed has lasted for months. I’ve finally accepted that they are gone, but I’ll never accept how it happened. To find the killer, I have to survive the wolves closest to the throne. My parents' organization is bleeding from the inside, crawling with traitors, and my first order of business is putting a stop to the bleeding.

Ethan leaves a comment on a livestream and doesn’t think much of it afterward, because there are too many people watching and too much noise for anything he says to matter for long. Out of thousands of messages, she remembers his. Not what he said, but his name. Raina doesn’t believe in coincidences because, in her experience, people leave and people forget, and she learned early on that most things don’t stay unless you make them stay. When she recognizes Ethan again after years, she does not rely on chance. She creates the conditions for them to meet again. A job request is made. A meeting follows. Then another, arranged in a way that feels natural enough not to question. Everything appears normal on the surface, and that is exactly why Ethan doesn’t question it, even when something in him quietly tells him he should. He tells himself he is overthinking, that she is simply kind, and that the way she shows up exactly when he needs her is nothing more than timing. But the closer she gets, the harder it becomes for him to separate his daily life from her presence in it. Because Raina doesn’t chase. She keeps. And once you matter to her, distance is no longer something that remains an option.

We've all read those mafia romances. The one where the godly handsome, picture-perfect, extremely ruthless mafia king rejects all the gorgeous, sexy ladies ( even though he's slept with half of them ) for the beautiful, innocent, untouched, holier-than-thou common woman who only marries him to pay off her sick grandma's medical bills and then slowly ends up falling for him. This is not one of those stories. Excerpt: Lynx stepped a little closer to the infamous Vixen, his intentions far from subtle. "Having a good night?" he asked, pretending to watch the couples swaying across the ballroom floor. "Why wouldn't I be?" Shayna replied without looking at him. "Merely observing," Lynx chuckled. "Are you missing someone?" he continued, staring ahead. "Are there no other beautiful women for you to entertain?" Shayna whispered, slightly annoyed. "There are," he admitted, his chest rising slightly. "But there is only one I can't seem to look away from." A faint blush crept across Shayna's cheeks before she turned her head. "And what exactly do you want from this lucky woman?" A smile tugged at his lips. "A dance, perhaps. And a smoke afterwards." .......................................................................... Shayna Hazel Alonso doesn't qualify as a lady by any known definition of the word. She smokes too much, curses like a sailor, and hates chivalry from the depths of her heart. A rather ordinary-looking woman, Shayna lives a double life as a corporate employee who just wants to get through the day and Vixen, the underworld's infamous prodigy, who unfortunately attracts the most questionable kinds of people. After years of betrayal—first by the father who sold her into prostitution, and then by the people she once believed were just like her—Shayna has finally learned not to trust anyone. And for the last time, she does not want to deal with any more shit. Naturally, life has other plans. So what happens when she ends up stealing from the one person nobody in their right mind would ever cross? In the underworld, everyone has a line they swear they'll never cross. Until they do. And that's when people become, for lack of a better phrase... Morally Fucked. P.S. The FMC of the story is strictly child-free and will remain so throughout the story.
