But when the world goes quiet, and the city falls asleep, a different side of her awakens.
In the shadows, she's known as Mysterious Ruby-a feared and respected figure in the underworld. A business tycoon by title, a queenpin by reputation. They call her La Sombra, the shadow that controls an empire built on secrets, power, and blood.
No one from her ordinary life knows who she really is.
But one day, Alexis stumbles upon something unexpected...
A marriage certificate-with her name on it. She's married.
But to who?
As she begins to search for answers, darker truths rise to the surface.
Secrets buried even from her.
And one shocking revelation will change everything she thought she knew.

📌 NEW & UPDATED VERSION [Written in English] LOVE KILLA In the crime-ridden city of Saint La Vella, hope comes with a deadly price. Years ago, rogue scientist Dr. Travis Raymundo attempted the unthinkable-turning humans into immortals. But when a catastrophic earthquake destroyed his lab, he vanished, leaving behind nothing but rumors and ashes. Now, ex-politician Volga Duerkson has built La Vella University-a beacon of free education and promise. But beneath its clean halls and golden reputation, shadows whisper of secrets darker than death. Killa, a mysterious spy from the North, is sent to infiltrate the university on a mission that could change everything. Born different and aware of her limits, Killa avoids what's bad for her-but curiosity pulls her toward something she's never truly understood: human emotion. Stubborn and strange in her own way, she starts to open up-not through love, but through friendship, guidance, and the rare comfort of someone who truly sees her. As crime and chaos rise around her, Killa must ask herself: Will exploring these unfamiliar feelings save her-or destroy her? But emotions come with a price. And in a place where truth kills faster than bullets, even love can be a weapon-or the noose that chokes her soul. Some hearts were never meant to beat. Some feelings were never meant to bloom.
