WE WERE DESTINED
" I don't even like you like that." Her face scrunched up in disgust watching water drip from curls in his hair. " 'Cause you love me. Just like I love you." He retorted with a grin, disregarding the deflecting she was doing. --- They were two sides of the same city-until one move split them down the middle. Elijah and London were inseparable once, bonded by childhood summers, beat-up bikes, and secrets too deep for anyone else to know. Unfortunately, when Elijah's mom packed up and moved her family across Onyx to a rival neighborhood, everything changed. She always thought when she spoke to him again he would've changed like her. She was witty, sarcastic, and had a low tolerance, but he was still the same calm , sweet, cute boy with a heart the size of the sun. Some things haven't changed. Some things never change. The pull between them, the memories that still burn etched marks in their brain, and the words they never said out loud. In a world where loyalty can be life or death, and love isn't always enough to cross old lines, Elijah and London find themselves circling each other again. --- STARTED; MAY 26th, 2025 PUBLISHED JUNE 6th, 2025 FINISHED; SEPTEMBER 27th 2025Complete
H.E.R.
What happens when the grandchildren of the rival families fall in love with each other? Love, honor, and respect. The motto has maintained the Torres crime family for decades. It's why they were always ten steps ahead of their adversaries. It's also why they were the most-feared crime family in all of New York. It's also why there was such a brotherhood between Pablo Torres, and his right-hand man/best friend, Clyde Lewis. The two men formed a solid bond when their children became best friends, attending each other's birthday parties, graduations, and other celebrations in a twenty-five year time span. The sons grew up to become mafia dons in their own right, controlling all of Harlem. But all good things must end. When an associate of the Torres's mistakenly takes out a member of the Lewis family, all love, honor, and respect is thrown out of the window and is replaced with hate, disappointment, and revenge. H.E.R. is a series of small novellas dealing with revenge, true love, and if time really heals. It's a modern-day retelling of Romeo and Juliet.Complete
