[Very Slow Update]
Zyulla Serenity-efficient, scornful, and impartial-is no stranger to adversity, given her tormented past.
Born and raised in a prosperous family within a major village, she enjoyed a carefree existence until the age of 21, when circumstances took a dark turn.
Joining a guild to pursue a career as a bounty hunter, she finds herself thrust into a dire situation: warned of imminent danger and the onset of war, with enemy forces already encroaching upon a nearby coastal town. Suspicious yet somewhat trusting of the guild's motives, Zyulla hastily agrees to the proposal-a decision made with haste, perhaps too much haste, but one necessitated by the urgency of the circumstances.
Yet doubts linger: Can this guild be trusted? Or is the opposite true? How could someone like Zyulla be integral to such a crisis? Regardless, the die is cast; the choice is made.

Leading up to her second year of college, she sets goals to do nothing but study, try to party a little more, and not get attached to any boys. Because the last thing she wanted was to be heartbroken. Only when heartless and stunningly beautiful Silver Ceraso enters her life, she can't help but watch all of her morals crumble to her feet 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘪𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘴 When Mafia families unite, Serenity and Silver become closer - and so, will Serenity be able to keep her love intact and away from Silver?
