Ace and Kayla grew up in a world of power , but for two years, they lived in their own light - together. Their love wasn't rushed or reckless. It was steady, real, the kind of love that builds slowly and wraps itself around every part of you.
They weren't enemies. Their families had no reason to hate each other. So for a while, they were safe - or at least, it felt that way. They dreamed of something more. Escaping it all. Starting fresh. Maybe even forever.
But then everything changed.
One moment, they were planning their future. The next, their families were at war - blood spilled, lines drawn, loyalty tested. Staying together wasn't just risky anymore. It was impossible.
They broke up because they had to, not because they stopped loving each other. The love was still there - raw, burning, impossible to bury. But survival meant distance.
And when Ace left the country, it wasn't just to escape danger. It was to protect everything he couldn't bear to lose - including her.
Kayla waited. She never stopped waiting. And when he came back, she tried. She reached for the boy she once knew.
But It was too late .

Jamie has been obsessed with Ife since the day he saw her from afar as a child, and when they eventually meet, Jamie knows that his feelings for her will never let him rest. A forbidden love story between two worlds that society deems incompatible. Ife was born into a world of wealth and privilege, raised in luxury and bombarded by rules she had to abide by, yet always wanting more than the small cage she was trapped in. She craved adventure and excitement, yearning for something that would make her life meaningful. Jamie had a completely different upbringing; one where danger lurked around every corner and criminal activity seemed like second nature. He had built up walls so thick that he couldn't get close to anyone without feeling like he was being suffocated. However, when the two finally reconnect after eight long years apart, their worlds finally intersect and collide. For Jamie it's like all his years of pining after Ife have finally come to fruition. And for Ife, it's like a dream come true; she finally gets to experience the excitement and thrill that comes with being so close to Jamie's world. However, while Jamie is blatantly aware of his feelings towards Ife, she was shockingly obtuse towards anything regarding romance-seems like he's destined for a one-sided love forever. or a sheltered mafia princess and a morally corrupt gang member who's been obsessed with her for pretty much his entire life.

BOOK 1 MATURE CONTENT 18+ Read at your own risk I slowly lifted the thin long sleeve over her head and she sat up a little in the process to help me. As if I wasn't hard enough her pierced hard brown nipples stood straight out begging to be touched. I brought my left hand up to rub and pull on one of her nipples making her release a low moan. I attached my lips to the other sucking on it and flicking my tongue at it getting a good shake out of her. My hand that wasn't busy made its way into the band of her shorts to find she wasn't wearing any panties underneath. "Traviesa." I say meeting her lips with mines again as I swiped two fingers along her soaking wet slit. "Fuck neonata, you're so wet." I say against her lips and she bit back a moan at my words that clearly affected her. I then dipped a finger into her tight hole and she attempted to clamp her legs shut only for me to push them back up so they were bent at her sides. I sent a harsh slap to her inner thigh close to her clothed pussy startling her but she moaned at the feeling. - A story in which a young naive girl gets affiliated with Mateo Ayala-Ricci with many skeletons in the closet RANKINGS ⭐️: #1 in Cartel #2 in Rich #3 in illegal #5 in Agegap #8 in submissive #7 in blackgirl #2 in mobster #9 in drug #13 in Don #25 in BWWM ©Copyright 2021.

Serena, a young woman with a murky past, is rescued from the depths of a dark alley by the infamous head of the Vargas crime family, Don Emilio Vargas. Taken to their heavily guarded compound, she is thrust into a life she never asked for, training in combat and firearms, learning to defend herself in a world where weakness is a death sentence.

REBORN ONLY FOR YOU!
She was born in a house that called itself noble - But behind those iron gates, she lived in a private hell. Tormented by her father, a tyrant cloaked in wealth and cruelty, she was imprisoned in silence while her mother withered in shadows. One night, they escaped - bloodied, broken, but alive. "All thanks to her uncle, whom she connected with during their desperate escape , the only man she ever truly respected, the only soul who reached out with love when the world had offered her nothing but chains." Under his protection, she rebuilt herself. Trained by devils. Hardened by trauma. She became a name the underworld feared: a devil draped in elegance, with eyes sharp as blades and a soul long frozen. But even devils can fall in love. It happened in an instant - a single photograph. Her uncle's son. A man she had never met, but whose eyes spoke of storms and softness. From that moment on, her heart belonged to him. Silently. Fiercely. Eternally. She watched over him from the shadows. Even as he married another, she remained hidden - protecting his world, never daring to intrude. She could have told her mother. She could have told her uncle - who would've welcomed her with open arms. But she chose silence, not because her love was weak... but because it was real. Then came the war. A war that tore their family apart - a war ignited by the same man who once tortured her. In a storm of blood and vengeance, she gave her life to save the very people she had once sworn to protect. But death was not the end. She was reborn - with every memory, every scar, and every beat of love still etched in her soul.Completa
