Lorenzo, a man with a reputation that sends shivers down the spines of those who know him, is known for his stoic demeanor and brutal efficiency. He commands respect within the criminal underworld, his name whispered in hushed tones. Deep down, however, there lies a heart burdened by the weight of his choices.

Victoria, on the other hand, exudes an infectious zest for life despite her troubling circumstances. Her spirit remains unbroken despite the emotional and physical abuse she endures from her current partner, a powerful and controlling figure within the city's criminal hierarchy. She dreams of breaking free from the suffocating clutches of her oppressor, yearning for a life bathed in the warmth of sunlight.

Their paths converge on a fateful night when Lorenzo finds himself reluctantly tasked with eliminating a rival gang member, unaware that Victoria is unwittingly caught up in the dangerous world he inhabits. Their first encounter is fraught with tension and misunderstanding, as Lorenzo's gruff exterior clashes with Victoria's resilient spirit.

My right hand met his left cheek brutally, stopping all that he had to say. "How dare you?" I hissed, landing another smack on the same spot. "How could you do this to me?" I raised my hand up again to place another one, but he caught my wrist before I could do so. "Plan your next move very carefully," he spoke in a low, belligerent tone tightening his grip on my wrist, daring me to slap him again. Pain jolted from the area, forcing tears to sting at the corner of my eyes. "Or what?" I scowled at him. "You don't want to find out." He took a step closer, staring into my eyes. "And don't tempt me!" * Today was the day it all started. Everything began to fall apart. It twisted me, threw me against the wall, and ripped my sanity and innocence to shreds.
