“Oh my… ang aking Kapitan! Mabuti naman naalala mo ako! Hmp malapit ng magtampo sa’yo si Lola. Ilan taon na din ang nakalipas.” Sabi ni lola ng may pagtatampo sa kaniyang tinig. “Magagawa ba naman kitang tiisin, ikaw ata ang pinaka-mamahal kong Lola!” nakangiti kong sagot kay Lola sabay yakap sa kaniya. Habang masaya akong bumabati kay Lola ay isang pigura ng babaeng nakatalikod ang unti-unting tumayo at nakangiting humarap sa amin. Si Yvette. Hindi ko inaasahan na dadating siya ngayong araw. Nakangiti siya pero makikita sa kaniyang mata ang kakaibang lungkot, isang damdamin na kahit anong tago ang gawin ay hindi niya maitatanggi. Si Yvette ang dati kong karelasyon at muntik ko ng mahalin matapos kong aliwin ang aking sarili ng malaman kong naging boyfriend ni Karmela si Andrew. Tumaas ang kilay ko ng makita ko siya. Wala naman akong pakielam sa kaniya pero knowing Yvette? Paniguradong gagawa siya ng eksena at ayokong matakot si Karmela dahil sa kaniya. Lumapit siya sa akin at nag beso. Nakangiti niya akong binati ngunit may halong pait sa kaniyang boses “My Captain Xian Herrera… its nice to see you again. Ang tagal na din ng huli nating pagkikila” may panunuya siyang tumingin kay Karmela at mapait ng ngumiti sa kaniya “siya ba? Siya ba ang dahilan kung bakit hindi mo ako sinuyo? Kaya naman pala bigla kang nawala sa picture. May bago ka na palang pinagkaka-abalahan!” Nang marinig ko ang sinabing iyon ni Yvette ay alam kong hindi lang iyon simpleng pagpuna. Naramdaman ko sa kaniyang boses ang matinding hinanakit. Kinapitan ko ng mahigpit ang kamay ni Karmela at tinignan siya na parang sinasabing “ huwag kang mag-alala hindi kita pababayaan.”

The 99th time my fiancé, Draven, hung up on me, I dragged myself to the family's church, my diagnosis of end-stage renal disease clutched in my hand. "Father, I wish to renounce the Rocci family and break off my engagement to Draven Frost." The words had barely left my lips when my parents burst in with my adopted sister, Bianca. My father, the family's Consigliere, didn't hesitate. He slapped me across the face, right there in front of the priest. "Your fiancé is a respected Capo in our world, and you choose to insult him like this!" "You're dragging our family's name through the mud in front of the whole organization!" My mother snatched the diagnosis from my hand, sneering after a brief glance. "Playing sick for attention again, are you? What is it you want this time?" My adopted sister, Bianca, clung to our parents' arms, her voice choked with tears. "I'm so sorry, sister. You can have my place at the gala. Please, just stop making trouble for Mom and Dad!" I wiped the blood trickling from my nose and calmly repeated my words to the priest. "I am no longer a daughter of the Rocci family. I am not worthy of an alliance with the Frosts." "I will be dead in three days. I want this engagement broken before then."

This book contains four interconnected stories, each filled with forbidden desires, age gap, dangerous secrets, and the raw intensity of love in the MC world. 🔥 Book 1: King, the son of an MC president, transfers to a university closer to the club, drawn to something he can’t explain—the quiet, innocent professor, Maz. But Maz’s life is anything but simple. Trapped in a loveless marriage and haunted by a dark past, she’s resigned herself to the cycle—until King steps in. He’s more than just her student. He’s the chaos that could set her free… and the man ready to claim her as his own. 🔥 Book 2: Big King, the ruthless MC leader and King’s father, made a promise to get his best friend’s daughter out of a bad situation. But he never expected to fall for her himself. She’s off-limits, the daughter of his locked-up brother, Joker. But when desire ignites, lines blur, and the only thing left is to face the fallout. And Joker? He’s not the kind of man to take betrayal lightly. 🔥 Book 3: Joker is out of prison, back on the road, and checking in on Big King’s daughter—until he crosses paths with the woman who consumes him. Unhinged and unapologetic, he becomes obsessed with her, dubbing her his little demon. But Joker’s love comes with a price—a thirst for Kirsty and the blood of anyone who stands in his way. 🔥 Book 4: The cycle comes full circle. King and Maz’s love story isn’t over. But being a twin means there’s one more piece to their puzzle, turning their duo into an unexpected trio. Some bonds are meant to be broken—others are meant to be shared.
