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.

A promise. It seems like the simplest thing in the world to keep. But so often, they're broken, empty and hollow. They seem like the easiest thing in the world to believe, but after the words are left out to bleed, after they leave you waiting and wanting, after all the emptiness and hollow words-how are you going to believe the one who actually say what they mean?

In a world of drugs and guns that men dominate, Kaya Okoro is feared amongst them all for the standing her father's mafia holds and the reputation she has built by carrying out deeds that no other can do without leaving a trace. However, with her father's sudden passing she and her family are now left extremely susceptible to the dangers of the male dominated world that would rather burn than to see a woman, her mother, lead the mafia. Unwilling to back down, Kaya's family do their best to put on a brave face by attending the annual gala of peace between all mafias, where she is reunited with Dakari Adisa, a childhood friend.. Dakari Adisa is a well respected and connected man who built his empire with his own two hands, drugs being its strong foundation. He isn't close to his family due to issues with his parents, so in his world are only a small circle of friends who replace them. When all hell breaks loose at the gala of peace and Kaya is at the center of it. Unable to set herself free, Dakari gives her a hand per her mother's request, but this hand comes with the proposal of marriage, something Kaya didn't think she would involve herself in, though with her life on the line she has no choice but to accept. And unsurprisingly being married to Dakari not only saves her life but reawakens feelings she can't understand and doesn't want to because ironically in a world as deadly as this one she fears nothing but emotions.
