FADING ECHOES OF US
Alexander Villaventura is a rich teenage boy whose life took a drastic turn after the death of his mother. His world shattered, and so did the way his father treated him. Despite trying his best to live up to his family's expectations, Alexander was always treated like the black sheep of the family. No matter how hard he worked, his efforts were never enough, and he was constantly blamed for things beyond his control. This created a growing distance between him and his father, leaving him to navigate a life filled with emotional turmoil and isolation. William Timothy Montenegro, on the other hand, is a young and successful businessman who was exposed to the world of business and money from an early age. He grew up in the business world, learning from his grandfather, and eventually became the heir to his family's fortune. Though wealthy and well-established, William's life lacked something-something real and personal that went beyond just success and material gain. The fates of these two young men collided when their paths crossed unexpectedly. Though their backgrounds were worlds apart, their shared pain and struggles connected them in ways they never imagined. The moment they met, their lives began to change in ways neither of them expected. For Alexander, William was a strange yet comforting presence-someone who understood the weight of carrying family expectations and the deep loneliness that came with it. Meanwhile, William found himself drawn to Alexander's vulnerability and strength, admiring how the younger man silently carried the burden of his family's expectations. What started as a chance encounter soon evolved into something more. A bond formed between them, a connection neither could deny. As the days went on, both began to realize they were no longer the same people they were before meeting each other.Complete

And she vowed to live a normal life, no matter what her brothers get up to. Her normality consisted of being a soccer player and getting through the last two years of high school. But inside of her house, all of those things seem to disappear and she's forced to listen to what happens within the underground of the city. The Vipers are the most feared mob in the Los Angeles underground. They trick and attack their enemies without any mercy, but someone is targeting them. They need the help of the Carter hitmen. Kaleb Reed was raised to be a Viper. To be patient, and to strike when the enemy least expects it. His reputation is tainted with fear and viciousness, his skill unmatched. Kaleb has walls built higher than heaven, or hell, in Kaleb's case. It's solid and locked tighter than a prison, but the walls begin to shake and the ice begins to melt upon meeting the youngest Carter. Easton, in Kaleb's eyes, is no more than a naïve, young kid. Everything rainbows and puppies within her world. But he couldn't have been more wrong. Kaleb wants nothing to do with Easton, putting his sole focus on his job. But with one glance from Easton, Kaleb was hooked.Complete
