"One misstep can lead to a violent love-triangle" In the year 2050, Planet Earth is under alien occupation. The Terils had taken control over the planet after humans were on the cusp of destroying all life due to their love for violence. The Terils were adamant in saving Earth and chose to preserve the planet by creating a unique marketing strategy that would involve a species of super humans known as the androids. The androids were humans with technology improvements. This created a new caste system where androids enjoyed the luxuries of life while humans fought and begged for any scrap left. Among the chaos stood syndicates: crime groups led by androids that stole and started wars among each other for ownership of the city. Some humans took advantage of this opportunity and delved into a life of crime. Lara Doe, a twisted Robin Hood, has success in robbing from androids homes and syndicate bosses until she finds herself caught up with the possessive Weston Syndicate Boss-Noe Weston. Noe claims her as his and forces her into marriage. Lara soon finds herself involved in a turf war between two android bosses and reunited with a long-lost friend who has been in love with her. A deadly love triangle forms and Lara must decide if she wants to be seduced by the handsome and ruthless Noe Weston or her sweet childhood friend Adrian Dolan?

The Weston Syndicate Chapter 17
"Welcome, to my humble abode." Adrian throws open the door to his small flat with flair. I scan my surroundings. Adrian's flat had scarce furnishings. A couch pulled against the wall, with a small tv on the floor. A kitchen with one smart cooking device lit the dim room. A tiny Formica table was pushed against the sink and down the hall a door led into a sparse bedroom, complete with a queen-sized bed. I whistled at Adrian's space. Despite my luxurious accommodations in the past week, I had not been spoiled to experience the harsh world outside of the android's gated neighborhood. Adrian's home was what many of us Saratoga residents considered luxury living. Only a few could afford their own kitchen, their own smart cooking device, and a bedroom complete with a bed. "Wow, you did amazing for yourself." Adrian leans against the doorway, gauging my reaction. "Thanks. It is all mine." A prideful look falls on his rugged features as he crosses the room toward the kitchen." I think this

The man in front of me-my childhood best friend freezes when he opens the driver's door. "Lara?" He laughs and scoops me up, spinning me around. "Where the hell have you been? But, more importantly, why did you bring a bulletproof car here? I can't have this type of trouble, not anymore."Wow. Adrian had filled really...grown. He was no longer the dirty blonde, lanky kid that ran jobs with me. Standing in front of me was a tall, toned physique. His voice came out like honey, smooth and deep. I could get lost in those dark blue eyes, kiss those plump lips. "Lara!" Adrian's angry snap pulls me out of my lust. "Oh, sorry. It's a long story, one that I'm not going to share. How much for scrap? I'm sure you have some of your old contacts in the black market who would pay a premium for a piece of a Weston SUV."Adrian hisses and grabs his gray news cap from
The Weston Syndicate Chapter 15
"Leave us!" Noe is blocking my way out. The guards and Evander quickly jump while Therese and Nula give me a sympathetic look. Noe jumps in the truck, slamming the door shut. He faces me-his eyes flashing rage. Gulping, I back up to the other side of the car. Noe darkly chuckles, caging me in. "I had an interesting call today. Want to guess?"I lower my eyes, my hair falling around my face. I feel rough fingertips yank my chin up. "Let me refresh your memory. Darla. You. hiding in a corner." His brown eyes burn through my skin. I bite my bottom lip. "I ran into her at the store. She just wanted to chat, Noe!." Noe's nose runs along my neck, sending shivers down my body. He roughly grabs my jaw and shoves it to the side.Pain shoots through my neck as he squeezes on my throat. "Ow." I groan. "Let me make myself crystal, babe- you are mine. T

"Lara! What a joy to see you." Darla greets me when I stop next to her. "Darla," I nod. "Is there somewhere more private?" Darla keeps her dazzling smile plastered on as she looks around. "Yes. There is an area for employees we can use. They won't mind my using it- I do supply their merchandise after all." I look behind, making sure Therese and Nula are not searching for me. I see the woman in the corner cooing over a dress. They wouldn't notice me missing, but going into an employee room would be risky with all the possible outcomes. Finally, I decided on a plan of action. "Evander is watching me. I shouldn't disappear right now. Maybe a quiet corner in the back where I can keep an eye on my friends?" I nod to Therese and Nula. Darla raises a perfect eyebrow but leads the way to a hidden corner. It was perfect; I could watch anyone coming into the store and keep an eye on my new friends.

Loud footsteps wake me from my blissful sleep. I crank an eye open, watching as Noe sneaks around. His bare back is turned as he riffles through a drawer, looking for something. My eyes unashamedly take in his muscular back. Being fit and gorgeous must be one of the perks of being an android. Never would any human have time for things such as self-care; our entire days are spent earning a scrap just to keep the lights and food on the table. It's why I play into whatever charade Noe, Darla, Evander, and Theta want. The power of information is at a premium. If I play my cards right, I should have enough gold to comfortably retire and get intel to help Darla keep her human employees off the radar. "Hey, baby."Soft lips interrupt my thoughts. "Sleep well?"I muster an innocent smile. " Why are you up?" I feign concern, slipping my arms around his neck and pulling him down. "I have business to attend to." Noe presses the implant on his wrist and is clothed in one of his

His room is full of red and black furnishings. Everything was gaudy and extravagant, reminding me of those old mafia movies I used to watch in the store display windows. Fitting for the head of the Weston Syndicate. My eyes land on a large wooden desk tucked in the corner. Papers were scattered around, the owner not caring for a disorganized state. I step off the bed, creeping closer, my eyes drifting to the door. I pick up the first document I see and am surprised such a document is left in plain sight. The first line reads City of Saratoga Zoning, and the paper describes city zoning laws and sections. It seems that Noe was interested in the dock and beach area. I look around once more and drop the report like it's a lump of hot coal. What if this is a trap? Noe was testing me, seeing if I would leak any information to Darla. What exactly he needed the city zoning maps for is something I'm determined to discover. I move away from the desk, noticing a bar full of alcohol on the othe

"Are you ready, Lara?" Odessa's voice calls from the other side of the bathroom door. I stand in the bathroom, staring at my reflection. I pinch the delicate fabric underneath my fingertips and scoff at how it feels. Is this what humans wear for entertainment? How was this functional? I stare at myself, admiring the girl looking back. The gown is beautiful, an iridescent silver knee-length gown with an open back. Odessa showed me how to make a simple braid and wrap it around my crown to create a style for my hair. I suppose it's nice to look elegant. I rely on my uniform of black shirts and khakis and a ponytail when I need clothes, but I doubt it would be appropriate for what Noe has planned. I open the door, where the android female waits. "Ready."A small smile curl on the corner of Odessa's lips as her gaze sweeps over me. "Fantastic. You look beautiful. I suppose you clean up well."
The Weston Syndicate Chapter 10
Three days. Three days of being shut down in this mansion, and I'm done. I've never been one to stay still. It's why I make a great thief. I have gotten excellent at running. This place...was no better than the white lab I grew up in. I was one of the human children that were not born naturally. I was conceived in a test tube, a result of Terils mixing DNA for the "ultimate human." Guess they failed, considering I didn't pass the android assessment.The difference between my two prisons was the aesthetic. The Weston Mansion had amusements that distracted me, but it was still not better than being confined in a white room. In both chambers, I was an asset to be used as they saw fit. I hear the familiar heavy footsteps of the guards outside my door. Ever since Abigail was dragged into my room, Noe has kept guards around my room 24/7. Proof that my fiancee didn't trust me at all. I wouldn't expect any less, considering I was making secret alliances with Darla and Theta behind hi

When Evander greets the car escort at the front of the Weston Mansion, Noe's tender gaze disappears. "Get out of me!" he growls, pushing me roughly into the footwell. "OW!" What is his deal? He was the definition of hot and cold! I glare at him as he opens the back door. "Get her to Theta! I can't have her broken." He commands Evander as he pushes past him and answers a call. Evander's eyes snap to my disheveled state. "What happened to you?" His smirk turns to a sneer. Guess I'm not getting any sympathy from the younger Weston. "Nothing much, explosion, rubble fell down on me broke my leg, no biggie. How was your day?" I scoot across the bench, reaching the door Evander is blocking. "Could you..." I wave my arm in a shoo gesture. He curses at me, bending down and scooping me up. I let out a startled grunt, wrapping my arms around his neck. "Try to keep the noise down. I don't want anyone to s
