It only takes one second to change the entire course of your life. For Maeve, it was a perpetual hope for love that converged together to finally give her that one second. 
Meet Maeve Carter, a realist whose only unique ideology was that love trumped all. Hailing from a well-to-do family, she has been groomed for success and follows a carefully planned life trajectory. Behind closed doors, finding that person, the other half of her soul, meant more to her than anything else. 
After years of waiting for fate to turn her in the right direction Maeve stumbles upon Roman. 
Roman Torres was a dreamer in a world that only slept. He imagined what he wanted and let nothing stop him from taking it. He could have never imagined the women he would meet on his journey for fame, fortune, and glory. 
When their paths unexpectedly cross, sparks fly, and they find themselves irresistibly drawn to each other despite their contrasting personalities. As their love story unfolds, Maeve and Roman must confront a series of hardships that put their relationship to the ultimate test.
Cultural differences, family expectations, and personal insecurities threaten to tear them apart at every turn. Their journey is a rollercoaster of emotions, as they grapple with their own identities, confront prejudices, and learn to appreciate the beauty in their differences.

109 parts Complete Mature

Sometimes, not every love story can be as idyllic as it should be. Dean Winchester, bred and raised in the mafia, carried a heart that yearned desperately for love, just like any ordinary person. While the essence of a criminal coursed through his veins, his heart wept for every inhumane act he committed. No matter how hard he strived to become a better man, he couldn't wash away the thick blood of an outlaw. In the end, he never expected anyone to care for him. All he ever longed for in his life was to experience the tender embrace of a mother's love, like everyone else. Sadly, even his own mother chose to abandon him to the clutches of his ruthless father, the Cobra mafia boss. Every twist of fate was fueled by the mere fact that he carried the blood of a killer, leaving him branded as a monster without a chance to prove his worth. Dean grew weary of trying to change people's perceptions of him. Until one fateful day, he crossed paths with the daughter of his sworn enemy, and his world turned upside down. In her presence, he discovered acceptance for who he truly was. For the first time in his life, he experienced genuine love. Every emotion, from tenderness to heartbreak, washed over him, gradually numbing his senses. ***WARNING*** Strong Adult Content & Explicit Language 18+. The story contains brutal acts of violence.
