"What the hell are you doing here?" he pressed out with a strained voice. Olivia couldn't remember hearing him sound like this, ever. Cassandra, the smile melting off her face, stepped back again and straightened her back.
"I represent Dylan Cooper."
Rafael's lips twitched and Olivia grew more and more confused by the second.
"You don't practice in New York," Rafael argued, his expression growing from whatever shock he had lived through to...angry? Yes, Olivia decided, questionably, snippily, angry. Highly unlike Rafael Barba angry.
A case with almost no evidence, an ex-girlfriend he hadn't seen in ten years, and the overwhelming feeling the universe was out to get him. Will he be able to solve the case and save his heart, or will the old pain destroy him?

Echoes of Us
He's the storm. She's the spark. Together, they're fire waiting to catch. FBI profiler Isabella Vega has seen monsters up close, but nothing prepared her for working alongside Manhattan's sharpest-and most insufferable-ADA, Rafael Barba. He's arrogant, cold, and way too smug for his own good. She's bright, stubborn, and refuses to let him have the last word. From the moment she's assigned to SVU, sparks fly-and not the good kind. Every case throws them together, every argument cuts deeper, and every stolen glance burns hotter than either of them will admit. Enemies? Definitely. Partners? Reluctantly. Something more? They'd rather die than say it out loud. But in a world where justice is fragile and secrets are deadly, Rafael and Isabella are about to learn the hardest truth: sometimes the person you swear you can't stand... is the one you can't let go. 💼⚖️ A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers, grumpy x sunshine Law & Order: SVU story.

"Say something, Beatrice," he said, an edge to his voice. I could tell he was growing impatient. I took in a long, shakey breath, trying to prepare myself for what was coming next. "Do it," I said.

But a new bad boy is something she didn't expect to have to deal with. ******************** I held his gaze, returning it with the same intensity. "You will not challenge me again." he drew each word slowly, almost hissing and we were so close that they caressed my neck and made my skin crawl. "And from now on you will listen to me. Do I make myself clear?" "Screw you, Walker." I pushed his chest again, recovering part of my personal space. " You think you scare me? You are nothing but a bully. I've dealt with kids like you all my life. So you're not going to impress me with your threats." He froze me with a dark half smile. "Oh, but I don't threaten, sweetheart. I just give warnings."
