Tragedy Mafia Web Novels & Age Gap Stories

In a world ruled by power and betrayal, Atticus Escoban, the younger daughter of the influential Escoban family, has always lived away from the dangerous chaos of their criminal empire. For 21 years, she was sheltered, hidden, and protected. But her life changes forever when Alijax Costaloña, the cold and calculating heir of the Costaloña dynasty, violently confronts her father, leaving him gravely wounded. Atticus never expected to be caught in the crossfire of her family’s schemes. Worse, Alijax discovers her existence and shocks everyone by choosing her—over her older sister Anneth—to be his fiancée. The engagement is a sham, a dangerous ploy to secure alliances, but Alijax has plans no one can predict. Determined to protect her family at any cost, Atticus agrees to the engagement, kahit na lumalaban ang puso niya sa ideya. Behind her composed exterior, she plots her way out, refusing to let the Costaloñas dictate her future. But the closer she gets to Alijax, the harder it becomes to distinguish between the man who ruined her family and the one who seems capable of understanding her like no one else. “Do you think you can escape this, Atticus?” he said, his voice dangerously low as he cornered her in the dimly lit study. “You’re mine now. Whether you like it or not.” Her fists clenched, and she met his cold, unreadable gaze with defiance. “You can own the world, Alijax Costaloña, pero ako? Hindi mo ako makukuha.” In a game of power, deception, and forbidden emotions, Atticus must make the ultimate choice. Will she sacrifice her freedom to protect her family, or will she risk it all to claim the life she truly deserves? Love and survival collide in a story where nothing is what it seems, and every decision could be deadly.

“How much?” Isang tanong na hindi ko dapat sinagot—kasi mula sa sandaling iyon, parang hindi na ako tao sa paningin niya. Nakatayo ako sa gitna ng dilim, suot ang damit na hindi ko naman pinili, habang ang lalaking nasa loob ng kotse ay parang hindi lang ako tinitingnan… kundi inaangkin na ako sa isip niya. Hindi ko siya kilala. Hindi ko siya gusto. Pero sa paraan ng pagtingin niya sa akin— Parang wala na akong choice pa kung saan ako pupunta. “Get in the car.” At sa gabing iyon… nagsimula ang pagkakagapos ko sa lalaking hindi marunong tumanggap ng “hindi.”
