In a dark underworld where two powerful factions vie for dominance, the Serpent Mafia and the Crow Empire are locked in a deadly rivalry. The Crows reign supreme in the open air, their reputation built on skill, influence, and near-mythic power commanding loyalty and respect. To the world, they are heroes-legends who guard the city from above. Led by the enigmatic Roland Russell, they are known for ruthless precision and a seemingly unbreakable hold on the streets.

But beneath the surface, there's a secret alliance that few would suspect. Roland, despite his celebrated reputation, has relied on the Serpent Mafia's lethal assistance to maintain his power. Whenever a threat rises or a rival grows too ambitious, he covertly contacts Amara Walker, the Serpent Mafia's shrewd and ruthless leader. Her organization, viewed as criminals and monsters, takes care of his dirty work-eliminating threats and silencing enemies without a trace. This arrangement has allowed the Crow Empire to remain untarnished, maintaining its noble reputation while keeping Roland's hands clean.

Yet, Roland has underestimated Amara's cunning. Aware of the power these secrets hold, she has kept a record of every order he's given, knowing that one day, her leverage could tilt the balance. She's been biding her time, waiting for the perfect opportunity to reveal the truth and dismantle the Crow Empire's carefully crafted image. Amara knows that exposing Roland would not only bring his empire crashing down but also elevate her own, finally giving the Serpent Mafia the respect and fear they crave.

Now, as whispers of betrayal ripple through the ranks of both factions, Roland and Amara are locked in a dangerous game of power and deceit. Roland faces an impossible choice: risk exposure by continuing his reliance on Amara or cut ties and face the consequences of her wrath. Meanwhile, Amara stands ready to strike, her hold on him tightening with every move he makes.

My Ex - Crush by thefadedwhite
75 parts Ongoing
"I wish I had never met you!" Deepika's voice echoed across the classroom, each word a dagger to my heart. "Excellent! At least we finally agree on something!" I fired back, even as a tear betrayed the storm of emotions within me. With those final, stinging words, Deepika stormed out, leaving a heavy silence in her wake. The classroom felt like a graveyard, and I stood there, rooted to the spot, desperately wishing I could chase after her and demand the truth. Maybe letting her go was the right choice. Perhaps this is meant to be my unfinished love story, a tale of what-ifs and almosts... ✨ No Deepika. This can't be his bike. Not Arjun's. But I couldn't deny what I saw-the familiar brown Royal Enfield, now twisted and crushed. My heart hammered as I circled around, hoping, praying it wasn't true, until my gaze landed on the number plate: TN56 0809. Arjun's bike. Deepika! Stop imagining things! Arjun would be fine! I felt the world shift, the noise around me blurring into a single, deafening hum. Ambulance and police sirens echoed, and a stranger's voice broke through: "Two boys. Spot dead. College students." I clutched my chest, gasping for air as reality slammed into me. "Arjun..." I whispered, barely holding myself together. Tears stung my face as I sank beside the wreck. "No, Please, No!" My voice cracked as the weight of regret settled in, suffocating me. ✨ Ex-Crush: More than just a crush, but a little less than love. ✨ Arjun and Deepika were hopelessly in love-only they never realized it. Will they find their way to each other, or will their love story remain forever unfinished? ✨ Join Arjun and Deepika on a journey back to those dreamy college days-days where every moment felt eternal, love was unspoken yet ever present, where friendship bloomed like wildflowers, offering a sanctuary from the harsh winds of reality. Come, wander with them through the corridors of college days, where the echoes of laughter still linger.
