Three of the most influential families-Guerrero, Carillo, and Velasco-were now entangled in a scandal born from a love that wasn't supposed to exist. How do you fight for a love that demands war? In a world where status means everything, will love be enough?

RATED SPG ⚠️ Lynne went to the bar, carrying the weight of exhaustion and the loneliness of a world that seemed to have no place for her. In the stillness of her night, chaos suddenly erupted-shrieks and screams from the women gathered around the stage. Her attention was drawn. Her curiosity sparked. And in the middle of it all, she laid eyes on Alessandro Thiago Guerero for the very first time. One glance was all it took.
