Xai Joaquín was born into blood. The only daughter of Alejandro Joaquín, head of one of Spain's most feared mafia families, she grew up with knives in her hands and four overprotective brothers at her side. Badass, sharp-tongued, and scarred - both inside and out - she's no stranger to violence. But Mexico left her with more than a wound across her eye. It left her with holes in her memory.

Now, back in Spain, her name is whispered in the shadows: la princesa de la mafia. She is untouchable... until the Italians arrive.

Xander Acroyed - the ruthless heir to the Italian mafia - remembers the girl who once laughed beside him in orchards. The girl who was promised to him. The girl who now looks at him with cold eyes and no recognition.

What begins as betrayal and blood soon tangles into something darker: an arranged marriage neither asked for, a dangerous game of power, and the slow unraveling of a bond both of them are afraid to claim.

Because Xai may have forgotten their past... but Xander never did.



......................................................................................

Xai: "Step closer, and I'll cut you."

"Sempre con il coltello... You always did hide behind steel."
(Always with the steel)

   "¿Siempre tan arrogante? You think knowing my name gives you power over me?"

 "No, princesa. What gives me power is knowing the things you've forgotten."

"Then remind me... before I bury this knife where it hurts."

 "Careful, Xai. Some memories draw blood."

The air between them is fire and ice - a thin line between hatred and something neither of them wants to name.

The Faded Vows by lynk992925

He was waiting outside the OP, there for his student who had been injured during a fight over a phone. As he sat, casually glancing at his own phone, he suddenly heard the faint sound of a baby crying. Curious, he turned toward the sound-and froze. There, outside the pediatric care unit, sat his wife with their son crying in her arms. His heart ached-it had been months since he last saw his son. His gaze shifted to his wife, gently consoling the child. Her face looked tired, pale, and completely drained. Without a second thought, he stood, tears welling in his eyes. Each step he took felt heavy, his chest tightening with every cry from his son. As he neared, he saw her clothes were faded and worn. Her feet were bare, hardened from walking-clearly straight from the farm. His heart clenched. His eyes moved to his son-he had grown so much. She was so focused on calming the baby that she didn't notice him at first. Tears filled her eyes as she held their feverish child close. He softly called her name. Startled, she looked up-and froze. Then she quickly lowered her gaze and tried to get up. He gently placed a hand on her shoulder, stopping her. She sat back down, turning her face away, quietly wiping her tears. He reached out to take their son. The moment he held him, he felt the heat-his little body was burning with fever. A chill ran through him. After all these months, seeing his child like this was unbearable. He loved his wife and son deeply, but his loyalty to his mother-and obedience to her word-always came first. Between a mother who owned his soul and a wife who held his heart, he was a man torn in a cruel war of love and loyalty. And she-she had given her all to a promise whispered beneath the sacred fire... never knowing that one day, she'd be holding her child, with nothing but a faded vow.
