The Unexpected  by abasarchie
7 parts Ongoing
Tanya never believed in fate until the night her world was shattered by blood and betrayal. A simple act of kindness pulled her into Darryl's path - a man with haunting eyes, a hidden past, and scars that told a story darker than midnight. What began as a spark of attraction soon spiraled into something far more dangerous: a love born in chaos, tested by lies, and hunted by enemies who would kill to keep the truth buried. He saved her life once. She exposed his secret twice. Now, both are trapped in a web of deceit that neither of them wove - yet both must escape. Darryl is not the man he claims to be. Beneath the calm charm lies a criminal past tied to a powerful syndicate that has marked him for death. But Tanya is no ordinary woman either. Her brother's mysterious disappearance years ago is connected to the same people Darryl once worked for. As bullets fly and bodies fall, Tanya is forced to choose between the man she loves and the justice she swore to find. Every step closer to the truth uncovers another lie, another betrayal, and another reason to run. When love and danger collide, loyalty is tested, trust becomes a weapon, and survival demands more than courage - it demands sacrifice. In the shadows of crime and passion, Tanya and Darryl will discover that destiny is not written in stars, but in blood, secrets, and choices. And when the final truth comes to light, it will shake everything they thought they knew - because what binds them together is more than love or guilt. It is The Unexpected - a story of love that defies logic, danger that never sleeps, and two hearts that refuse to surrender even when the world turns against them.
