Journey thought her biggest problem was figuring out what came after graduation. Senior year was supposed to be about making memories, choosing a college, and planning for the future-not getting caught in the orbit of the city's most powerful and mysterious man. To the world, Santana is a successful businessman with money, respect, and influence. Behind closed doors, whispers tell a different story. They call him a kingpin. A man who built an empire from nothing and isn't afraid to protect it. When Santana meets Journey, something about her refuses to let him walk away. She isn't impressed by his money, intimidated by his reputation, or interested in the life he lives. She sees the man beneath the rumors, while he sees a future he never imagined for himself. As friendship slowly turns into something neither of them expected, buried secrets, dangerous enemies, and impossible choices threaten everything they've built. Santana knows falling in love could put Journey in danger... but keeping his feelings hidden might cost him the one person who makes him believe there's more to life than power. In a world where loyalty is earned, trust is rare, and forever isn't promised... Will love be enough, or will the empire destroy everything before it even begins? Love. Lies. Loyalty. Betrayal. Some stories are written in ink. Theirs is written in blood.

Power Of A Man Comes From His Woman.

Romeo learned early that love and loyalty don't survive in the same room. Respected. Feared. Emotionally unavailable. Romeo moves through the city like nothing can touch him-money steady, name ringing, heart locked behind years of damage. But one thing he can't escape is Eboni-his baby mama, his past, and the most toxic chapter he can't seem to close. Their relationship is a battlefield of manipulation, unfinished feelings, and wounds neither of them will admit still bleed. Arguments turn explosive. Love turns ugly. And every time Romeo tries to walk away, something pulls him back into the chaos. Because in his world, love isn't soft. It's control. It's survival. It's war. And when another woman enters his life-one who sees past the armor and doesn't beg for his attention-Romeo is forced to choose between the pain he knows and the peace he's never had. But where he comes from, choosing wrong doesn't just break hearts. It gets people hurt. This isn't a love story - it's a warning.

"Woah, slow down. What?" I heard him say and I furrowed my eyebrows, looking up. "Ma.." He trailed off and I already knew it was his mother. "That has nothing to do with you." He said and I sat up because I could hear him getting angry. "What's wrong?" I asked him and he put his phone on speaker. "I can't believe you got that little.." She trailed off, too angry to even get her words out. "..whore pregnant, Sage." "And then the little slut gets an abortion, I hope she knows that she will rot in hell." She said and my heart dropped. He hung up the phone on her before she could say anything else. "Baby." He looked at me as I bit my lip, standing to my feet. "Olive." He stood to his feet as well. I quickly walked to the bathroom and closed the door behind me before Sage could catch me. I broke down crying as he stood on the other side of the door. "Babygirl, I love you." "I love you too." I told him, breathing heavily. "Don't cry, love. Nothing she says matters, she's just mad because I love you so much and there's nothing she can say to change that." "Open the door for me please?" I wiped my face before I slowly opened the door for him. "I'm done with her." He said, shaking his head. He pulled me to him, wrapping his arms around my waist as he shoved his head into my neck. "Until she can learn to respect you as my lady, she's out of our life."
