It's a dangerous way to live when the ones smiling beside you are often the first to twist the knife. After all, the underworld doesn't reward kind hearts. It devours them. 𝐒𝐈𝐋𝐀𝐒 𝐋𝐔𝐃𝐎𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐎 doesn't believe in good people. Feared across the crime world for his ruthlessness, he's spent years building a reputation no one dares question. Violence has always come easier than trust, and mercy has never earned anyone a throne. Years ago, a chance meeting with a girl whose smile didn't belong in his world should've been forgettable. Instead, she became the one face he couldn't ignore. He was taught everyone had a weakness. He never imagined she'd become his. εꨄ︎з STARTED: DECEMBER 18, 2021 ENDED: AUGUST 6, 2022 Book by; @SabrinaA_writesComplete
