Two sisters flee Jamaica to escape death, only to fall deeper into a world of crime and corruption under the rule of a dangerous kingpin. When one of them falls for his right-hand man, forbidden love ignites a chain of violence, betrayal, and revenge that spans years-and costs them everything. After a brutal escape from Jamaica, Thelma and Valerie seek safety under Marquez Gomez, a man whose protection comes at a price. Thelma becomes trapped in his control, coerced into his bed while her sister struggles to survive his empire's violent demands. Enter Eugene Petrov, Marquez's loyal enforcer-sharp, loyal, and dangerous in his own right. What begins as stolen glances between Thelma and Eugene turns into an affair that risks everything they've built-and everything they're trying to forget. Together with Marquez's crew-Derek and Peter-they carry out a plan to frame rival Manuel Ruiz for murder, tying the sisters to the underworld for good. But loyalty in Marquez's world is a one-way street. As Valerie's unexpected pregnancy and Marquez's twin daughters with his wife Julia complicate the family web, Thelma finds herself caught between survival and self-destruction. When Eugene's past resurfaces-his estranged mother, his sister Polina, his late father's ghost-it forces him to choose between blood and love. A violent attack and miscarriage push Thelma to escape, and together she and Eugene attempt a fragile rebirth: raising their daughters Yasmine and Sapphire in peace. But peace doesn't last long. Julia, Valerie, and the ghosts of Marquez's empire won't stay buried. Love doesn't save you in this world-it just gives you something worth dying for.

Hi, I'm Britney. And if there's one thing you need to know about me, it's that I don't forgive easily. Walking through the sea of students, I catch glimpses of familiar faces. Among them is DAVE (17), a somewhat awkward teenager with a backpack slung over his shoulder. There's a subtle tension between Dave and me as we pass each other, a silent acknowledgment of our complicated history. Especially when it comes to Dave Lizewski. A younger me sits at her desk, focused on a math test. In the background, my best friend, chatting with Kristen the popular girl, and her clique. It all started in middle school when Dave pulled that stunt with Kristen. Kristen accused Mia of throwing , pencil at her. Mia denies it vehemently, but Kristen's words carry weight among their peers. Dave threw that pencil, not Mia. But he didn't have the guts to own up to it. Mia got verbally and physically attacked by Kristen and her cronies. I was in another classroom that day, too busy with a stupid math test to defend my friend. But I'll never forget what Dave did. I disappear around the corner, and my grudge against Dave remains a silent but palpable presence in the halls of the high school.
