Haste Makes Waste

They say opposites attract. Yet, Raffaele and Edwina avoid each other like the plague. Physically present, but lost in separate dimensions—two forces resisting, yet desperately needing each other to survive. They are each other’s equilibrium, just as fire needs air, just as heat demands the cold. They know it, but they fight it. Raffaele Marcello is the undisputed King of the Italian Mafia. A ghost in the underworld, ruthless and untouchable. One look in his eyes, and you’re as good as dead. He is a killer who has carved away parts of himself just to survive. Blood stains his hands—someone, somewhere had to die for him to live. He is his own law, the embodiment of power itself. Edwina Gemstone is fire wrapped in elegance, a force to be reckoned with. Sassy, sharp-tongued, and unapologetically fierce, she never bows to anyone. Success drapes around her like the finest diamonds, and she wears it with the confidence of a queen. But to touch her is to invite scars—she burns, and she does not regret it. Different paths. Twisted fate. A collision inevitable.

Zaki Delrama was known as a successful businessman at a young age. All his business is legal, so he has nothing to worry about like the business of his childhood friend and beloved Ian Mercado, who is a smuggler. Even though he loves Ian, he still gave him to Nate because Nate is what Ian really wants (must read the story It's Just I Love You.) He would have decided to leave Crown University to forget his childhood love, because that was the only thing he went to CU, but when he and his group were leaving CU, when Sharian Roden's group ambushed them. He overcame Roden's audacity but when he found out that Roden had set fire to his three establishments, he was there to find a way to punish the girl, for her audacity and her fearlessness towards him. Will he tame her, or he will kneel down to ruthless gangster chic? Sharian Roden Indelcio, a woman known for being stubborn, arrogant and ruthless. Just because she is the sister of Stygian Beast lord Stan Elthen Indelcio, she has the courage to hurt, steal and trample others. Stygian's habit of collecting money at any business in Cordova City. Every end of the month Roden travels throughout Cordova City to collect money and property from establishments, bars, clubs, restaurants, hotels and other businesses in the City. If the owners of the establishment do not give money, she destroys or burns the building or establishment that does not pay or give properly ... She is a tyrant and proud, no one can tame her until Zaki Delrama came to punish her!
