The Art Of Redemption 

In the heart of Clyde, where the clash of power and passion creates a symphony of intrigue, Kimani and Dallas stand as stark opposites, destined to clash. She's an independent artist with dreams that stretch beyond the canvas, fueling her desire to make it big. He's the unyielding capo of a ruthless gang, his power felt across the city, and his reputation as a formidable art collector known worldwide.

Their worlds collide with an intensity that sets the pages ablaze. A single disagreement ignites a fiery rivalry, leaving both Kimani and Dallas locked in a battle of wills. As they navigate the complexities of power and passion, Dallas's disdain for Kimani's art fans the flames of animosity, and Kimani's defiance only fuels the fire.

Yet beneath the surface, a magnetic pull draws them together, challenging the boundaries of their mutual enmity. As their lives entwine in a dance of conflict and attraction, they find themselves caught in a web of fate that neither can escape. From the pulsating energy of their disagreements to the unspoken desires that simmer beneath.

The Three Rule Deal by No-one-cares123

It was a tragic love. A beautiful, sad, misleading tragedy. Her and him, bathing in an ocean of anger for the other. But once they couldn't fight the attraction for each other they started to mess around. Fury became lust, lust became love, and love, love became loneliness, depression and gloom. Why would he leave her? Why would he brake up with her without an explanation? Why would hurt too when he was the one to make the choice? What was he trying to protect her from? But the sadness changed into something else when he came back. It brought back buried feelings. Feelings that were supposed to be dead. Yet they were more alive than ever. He hadn't forgotten her after four years and neither had she. There was something else going on, something bigger. Something that revealed why he had left. Something that put them both back in danger, but therefore back together. And closer than ever. All physically, emotionally and marital status wise. *****

But even as she blossoms under his affection, her past refuses to let go. Nightmares, panic attacks, and a chance encounter with one of her former tormentors trigger a breakdown, and Serenity finally reveals the horrors of her childhood.
