4 parts Ongoing Mature2003 - the year power still hid behind silk and champagne. The Millers and the Castros have long moved in quiet alliance: two families bound by old debts, silent promises, and a mutual understanding that some things are better left unspoken. They are not enemies, not friends - just two shadows that protect each other when the world turns violent.
Alena Miller was raised to play her part - graceful, obedient, untouched by the blood beneath her family's fortune. But perfection is a fragile disguise, and the night she meets Victor Castro, it starts to crack.
Victor lives in the dark she was born from. A hitman molded by loyalty, sharpened by loss, and chained to a name that will never let him go. He isn't supposed to look at her the way he does, and she isn't supposed to want him - but wanting has never been the problem. It's surviving it that becomes the test.
What begins as fascination turns into something dangerous - not forbidden, but consuming. Their connection is quiet, magnetic, and impossible to name. Yet as their world starts to crumble, Alena begins to see what he refuses to: that darkness doesn't keep you safe. It buries you.
And when the time comes to choose - to run or to stay - the question isn't whether Victor will follow her.
It's whether he can.
Run With Me, Victor is a dark, intoxicating romance about legacy, power, and the pull of two souls bound by the same bloodstained world - one desperate to escape it, the other made to survive it.
