In Jamaica, love is never innocent. It is inherited, traded, bought, buried, and sometimes-weaponized. From the zinc-fenced lanes where hunger sharpens ambition, to the hilltop mansions where legacies rot behind marble gates, power moves quietly. Money whispers. Bloodlines decide futures long before hearts get a say. And the people who rise fastest are rarely the ones who play fair. This is a country where uptown smiles are rehearsed, ghetto loyalty is lethal, and desire doesn't ask permission. Where women learn early that softness is a liability, and men confuse ownership with love. Where bodies are currencies, secrets are shields, and survival often looks like sin. At the center of it all is a love story that was never meant to be tender. Only consuming. Only dangerous. Only inevitable. Wicked Love is not about happily-ever-after. It is about what happens when ambition falls in love with hunger... when class collides with obsession... when two people mistake control for devotion and call it destiny. This is a story of wealth built on silence. Of women who refuse to stay small. Of men who learn too late that power does not equal possession. Welcome to the space between ghetto and uptown- where love is wicked, loyalty is costly, and everything beautiful comes with blood on it.

The thing that fascinates Harry about Charlotte is that she is pure, innocent and untouched. But that what she wants everyone to think. When people hear Charlottes name, they think of how she is such a sweet girl and that her youth, despite being 17 hasn't been corrupted and stuck with religion. Luckily for Charlotte her licentiousness has not been exposed and hardly anyone could imagine her with her lips wrapped around anything but a lollypop. Harry had retired early at age 25, with enough money to be set for life, but his mental state was what caused him to quit the job which caused the stress and strain. Harry found his saviour at church, and it wasn't in god but Charlotte herself.

Billionaire crime boss Max is everything idealist young attorney Hadley should run from-a man as powerful and dangerous as he is wealthy, and someone who always takes what he wants. Loving him could destroy her. But she can't stop. Season 1 of Sex and the Billionaire Crime Boss *** When Hadley Reese Jones' estranged grandfather offers her a top position at his elite Miami law firm, she says goodbye to low pay and long hours in Philadelphia for a chance to unearth family secrets and inject excitement into her life. But she doesn't expect a hot encounter with a mysterious stranger on the plane to Miami to turn her plans upside down. Billionaire entrepreneur Maxwell Bennett is the privileged, devilishly handsome heir to a Miami crime dynasty. He's used to getting what he wants. And he wants Hadley. Soon, Hadley finds herself swept up in a world of nightclubs, private jets, and luxury beyond her wildest dreams. But when she discovers Max is more crime boss than businessman, and walking away from his father's criminal enterprise isn't an option, she's faced with an impossible decision. Should she put aside her strong sense of law and follow her heart, even if it could mean losing everything? Or should she walk away from Max and their sizzling chemistry - if it isn't already too late? *** "You don't want me as a client?" Max lowers his voice. "Worried about a conflict of interest once I get you in my bed?" A hot stab of arousal shoots through me, and I know I'm blushing. "You're presuming a lot from one kiss," I tell him, pulse racing. "Am I? I have a feeling we'll be seeing each other again soon. On a professional and personal level." When my gaze locks on Max's incredibly blue eyes, I feel disoriented. I'm worried I should stay as far away as possible from Maxwell Bennett. And even more worried I won't.

An almost very unlikely pair. • "You don't understand how important she is to me" I clenched my jaw, feeling the urge to throw something. "She's everything to me and I just...I just ruined it!" My voice ripped through my throat as I flung the glass of whiskey at the wall and I watched it shatter while the golden liquid stained the neat white walls. "She's gonna be fine, Theodore" Asher said with a somber and empathetic expression on his face and I scoffed. "Fuck yes, she's gonna be fine! But what about me?" I tilted my head at him and he inhaled. "You'll be fine, Theo." he spoke so softly I wished I was that calm. I wished I could be. "Not without her I'm not" I dropped back in my chair, my hands shaking violently and she wasn't around to help me get through it. PS: Lyrics of a song by Nasty C- Flaws and All.
