32 Kapitel Laufend ErwachseneninhaltIn The heart of a bustling city, five lifelong friends share an unbreakable bond. They laugh together, celebrate together, and protect each other at all costs. But beneath the surface, each of them hides a deadly secret-each one is a rising force within rival mafia factions, unknowingly sworn enemies in a ruthless underworld war. Despite their loyalty to one another, they're all part of the same deadly game. Years ago, they made a pact: No matter what, their friendship comes first. They agreed never to let the bloodstained world they inherited define their relationships. But as tensions rise between their families, that pact is tested in ways they never imagined. At the center of it all is Lena and Nathan , two members of the group whose connection has always been undeniable. They've been dancing around their feelings for years, but with war brewing between their families, love seems impossible. As they finally give in, they realize the truth-Lena's father has placed a bounty on Nathan's head, and Nathan's gang has targeted Lena's older brother for assassination. As blood is spilled and lines blur, they're faced with the ultimate question: Can friendship and love survive in a world where loyalty is a death sentence? With a final confrontation looming, Lena and Nathan make a desperate plan to escape the city together, leaving the mafia life behind. But when betrayals are revealed and bullets fly, only some of them will make it out alive. Will love conquer their fate, or will the mafia's grip prove stronger than the bonds they swore to protect?
