In the heart of the city, love is dangerous - especially when it's with someone like Nunu, the boy everyone fears but secretly admires. He's got the streets in his blood, a reputation that keeps people quiet, and a soft spot only one girl has ever seen. Y/N swore she'd stay away from trouble, but falling for Nunu wasn't something she could control. Their love is a secret - whispered between hallway glances and late-night calls - hidden from friends, teachers, and especially from Raquel, Nunu's ex who refuses to let him go. When Y/N finds out she's pregnant, everything changes. The secret they fought to protect becomes the one thing that could tear their world apart. With rumors spreading, danger rising, and Raquel plotting to expose them, Y/N and Nunu have to decide just how far they'll go to protect their love - and their future. A story of loyalty, lies, and love in the streets, where every choice comes with a price... and every secret eventually comes to light.
