The Metropolis. A place where waking up is a luxury, but only to those who have money. Anyone else is treated like dirt, and are left to fend for themselves . For some people in The Metropolis, they would rather not wake up at all, as dreams are crushed faster than they came be dreamt.
Jayce Thrill is one of those people, born into a gang who live in the Underbelly of society. He learnt very early on that life is finite, and can end at any point no matter who you are or what you've done. He learnt this when his family, his gang, died. He was the only survivor. At just 15, he was alone, and all he knew he needed to do was survive.
So now, at 27, after becoming a very well known mercenary, he is approached by the heir of one of the most successful corporations in The Metropolis, what will he do?
Aiming to post at least one chapter a week! Stay tuned :)

He shakes his head but doesn't say anything, I watch as He places his hand over my heart, I'm sure he can feel how fast it's beating.

My breath hitched as Jayce's hand wrapped around my throat, his touch firm but not tight, just enough to send a pulse of heat through my veins. He leaned in close, his body a wall of heat, his dark eyes burning into mine with a fury I couldn't look away from. "You keep pushing me, Ford," he growled, his voice low and rough, vibrating through me. "One of us is going to snap." I forced myself to meet his gaze, smirking even as my pulse quickened, trying to ignore the way his hand made everything feel too close. "Maybe I'm not the one who should be careful." His thumb brushed my skin, sending a shiver down my spine, and I could feel his restraint slipping, his focus flickering to my lips. I held my breath, my body thrumming with anticipation. "Careful," he murmured, his voice low and deadly, sending a warning I could practically taste. "I don't stop once I start." I lifted my chin slightly, locking my eyes with his. "Then don't." _ _ _ Zoe Ford, the sharp-tongued daughter of LA's top police chief, has always lived under the weight of her family's legacy.
