She didn't know the silent boy who clutched her locket would grow into a weapon. She didn't know his middle name carried a centuries-old vow. She didn't know her own name lived in the ledger of a family sworn to kill her. All she knew was that he listened. And that, somehow... he saw her. Years later, Liora is a college student who fights for freedom with soft hands and a stubborn heart. She doesn't belong anywhere near the Duarte empire, especially not their heir, Valen Azrael Duarte, the underground boxer feared as El Verdugo. Everyone calls him a monster. She once called him a friend. And destiny calls him her executioner. When their worlds collide again, kindness becomes danger. Obsession becomes fate.

And Liora Solís is the one name he was never meant to spare.

Kayla had only two dreams: to work hard, save enough for college, and to one day fall in love with a man who would cherish her just as deeply. She promised herself that all her firsts, especially her first kiss, would be with him, and no one else. Then came Aiden, blunt, emotionally closed-off, and completely lacking in social awareness. And the first thing he did? Shatter the careful plans Kayla had built for herself. Life, it turns out, has a way of stealing moments you thought you'd control. --- Excerpt. My heart pounded and my palms turned clammy. I could feel myself spiraling as I brought trembling fingers to my swollen lips. My first kiss. My stolen first kiss. "You... you..." A tear slid down my cheek, and I wiped it away with frustration. He took something that wasn't his to take, something I had saved for someone who would love me, someone I would love in return. My soulmate. I didn't know how to make sense of it all. It had happened so fast. "Relax, princess," he said with a scoff. "It's just a kiss. No need to overreact." His words hit me like a slap and sank like a punch to the gut. He stole it. And he didn't even care.

"So umm...What are you doing on your phone?" I look up at her and we lock eyes. This time I got a good look at her face. Big brown eyes, naturally long eyelashes, dark skin, and a head full of curls. She's pretty. Too bad her mouth opens without my permission. "So umm...Do you ever shut the fuck up?" I don't bother waiting for her response, I grab my shit and I leave to make my call to Randy. It's not like he had a real job, all he does is sell drugs, smokes crack, and sits on the couch like the lazy motherfucker he is. If he doesn't pick up on the first call, we're gonna have a problem.
