Naomi Madden, a renowned fashion designer, attends an upscale award ceremony celebrating her latest collection. Amidst the glitz and glamour, her past comes crashing back when she locks eyes with Ace, her long-lost ex-boyfriend who vanished six years earlier when Naomi was pregnant with their daughter, Amara. Shaken by Ace's sudden reappearance, Naomi is flooded with a mix of emotions-anger, hurt, and unresolved questions. What happened to him all those years ago? Why did he leave without a word?

Ace's family, who had once been a significant part of Naomi's life, now resurfaces along with him. Their interactions stir up old wounds and shed light on the circumstances surrounding Ace's departure.

Will Naomi find closure and understanding amidst the chaos of their unexpected reunion? Through a series of encounters and heartfelt conversations, Naomi and Ace confront their past and grapple with the consequences of their choices. The truth about Ace's disappearance and the impact on their lives begins to surface, ultimately leading to a pivotal moment of reckoning for them all. As secrets unravel and emotions run high, Naomi must decide whether forgiveness and healing are possible, not only for herself but for the sake of Amara, whose world is about to change forever.

𝐒𝐈𝐋𝐀𝐒 𝐋𝐔𝐃𝐎𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐎 doesn't believe in good people. Feared across the crime world for his ruthlessness, he's spent years building a reputation no one dares question. Violence has always come easier than trust, and mercy has never earned anyone a throne. Years ago, a chance meeting with a girl whose smile didn't belong in his world should've been forgettable.

(𝘉𝘖𝘖𝘒 𝘛𝘞𝘖 𝘐𝘕 𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝙁𝙍𝘼𝘾𝙏𝙐𝙍𝙀𝘿 𝘛𝘙𝘐𝘓𝘖𝘎𝘠) εꨄ︎з 𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐘𝐀 𝐇𝐀𝐘𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐈 has spent her entire life trying to earn a freedom she was never meant to have. Kept under her mother's control for as long as she can remember, she's finally given a chance to leave it all behind. All she has to do is infiltrate the people responsible for the massacre of her clan, earn the trust of their leader, and kill him. Simple. At least, that's what she tells herself. But the closer she gets to Rowan Adams, the less anything makes sense. Faces linger a second too long. Places feel strangely familiar. Answers only seem to lead to more questions, and every lie she tells him pulls her further away from the truth she doesn't even realize she's searching for. 𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐀𝐍 𝐀𝐃𝐀𝐌𝐒 is the last person anyone would expect to carry the weight he does. He's loud, sarcastic, impossible to shut up, and always the first to make someone laugh. It's easier that way. Easier than letting anyone see what's buried deep underneath. Then Amaya walks into his life. She was supposed to be just another stranger. Instead, she becomes the one person he can't stop thinking about. The one person he'd bleed for without hesitation. The only problem is that she came to destroy him. εꨄ︎з STARTED: July 2022 FINISHED: April 2023
