In Harlem, his name is etched into sidewalk whispers and alleyway legends-Pablo, the ghost who rose from fire. Once a forgotten foster kid bouncing between shelters and cells, Zachariah Mulatto forged his name in smoke and strategy. With a diamond-tipped smile and ice-cold eyes, Pablo doesn't just run blocks-he manipulates whole boroughs like a chessboard. But power this pure always comes with a curse.
Behind the muscle cars, penthouse parties, and bulletproof bravado lies Zachariah-a man whose trauma speaks louder than his reputation. Years ago, a betrayal inside a Harlem group home left him for dead and erased the only family he ever knew. Now, he rules the city not for wealth, but for revenge... slowly, methodically, beautifully orchestrated.
Then enters Neveah Brown-a Harlem-born artist and activist fresh from Paris, back home to heal her roots. She's all paint-stained fingers, political poetry, and defiant softness. She sees through Pablo's armor from day one-and calls him by his real name. She doesn't fear his ghosts. She just wants to know who they are.
But Neveah's return isn't coincidence-it's part of a secret buried in Pablo's past. A secret tied to the night that made him a monster, and the truth about who really betrayed him. As enemies close in and Harlem's streets boil with blood and ambition, Zachariah finds himself at a brutal crossroads: protect his empire and finally take his revenge... or burn it all down for a chance at the love and peace he never thought he'd deserve.
PABLO is a lyrical, high-stakes urban tragedy steeped in survival, romance, and identity-a love story tangled in hood politics, street justice, and the cost of healing when your past is the thing hunting you.
