When Ellara was five years old, her mother died in childbirth. Her unfaithful father not only seized her mother’s inheritance but abandoned Ellara, leaving her to fend for herself in exile. On a stormy night, she stood in the pouring rain, accepting the blade handed to her by the man across from her. That moment marked her entry into MOON—a powerful yet enigmatic organization. The man claimed to be a friend of her mother, but Ellara didn’t care. The only thing that mattered to her was whether, one day, she could wield the blade of revenge against her father. Seraphina, too, once had a happy and loving family. But a devastating fire consumed everything she held dear. She knew that behind the flames lay a tangled web of power and conspiracy. From that day, she swore to uncover the truth. Ellara and Seraphina crossed paths on their journeys of vengeance, forging a deep bond as they supported each other. Together, they shattered layer upon layer of deceit, only to unveil an even greater conspiracy lurking in the shadows. One day, an official of the International Federation was assassinated, throwing the organization into chaos. Days later, the headquarters of a notorious arms dealer exploded, and its leader was found dead. The Federation was in an uproar again. Amid the growing turmoil, Ellara leaned against the wall, twirling a knife lazily between her fingers. “Can’t they give me something more interesting next time?” Without missing a beat, Seraphina tossed a file at her. “Sure. Here’s a task for you—babysit.” Ellara glanced skeptically at the subject of this so-called task: a high school girl standing smugly atop a pile of defeated thugs, her foot pressing down on someone’s head with unapologetic arrogance. “You sure this one needs me to babysit?” Ellara asked dryly. Seraphina smirked. “Have fun.”

In order to sustain it, we must both strive to please one another," he declared. "I fail to comprehend," she admitted. "I desire Bella to be removed from your life, and I request that you tender your resignation from your position at RX hotels..." "Ethan, Bella and I have been inseparable since childhood. I cannot sever ties with her just because you believe it is in the best interest of the child," she asserted. "I believe we have an appointment scheduled at the courthouse tomorrow," he stated. "For what purpose?" she inquired. "To sign our divorce papers," he responded. "You must be joking," she questioned. "If you cannot adhere to my conditions, then our marriage is not sustainable," he replied. "Ethan, please reconsider," she implored. "I have nothing left to consider. All I want to know is if you're in or out", he inquired with a cold look "I'm in.........."

Excerpt: Ethan's eyes gleamed with amusement as he whispered in Ava's ear, "You know, wife, you're adorable when you're trying to be stern." He was leaning against the wall, his arms crossed, his gaze fixed on her with an intensity that made her heart race. Ava's eyes flashed with irritation, her cheeks flushing. "Ethan, stop teasing me. We need to focus on our plan." She tried to sound firm, but her voice trembled slightly, betraying her frustration. Ethan's grin only grew wider. "Oh, come on, Ava. You know I'm just trying to lighten the mood. You're so serious all the time." He pushed off the wall, his movements fluid and graceful, and took a step closer to her. Ava's hands clenched into fists, her voice firm. "This isn't a game, Ethan. Our lives are at stake. We can't afford to make mistakes." She tried to sound convincing, but her eyes kept drifting to his, and she couldn't help but notice the way his eyes crinkled at the corners when he smiled. Ethan's expression turned innocent, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Who says I'm not taking it seriously? Maybe I'm just trying to distract you from the tension between us." He raised an eyebrow, his gaze fixed on hers, and Ava felt her heart skip a beat. "There's no tension, Ethan. We're just allies in this marriage pact," she lied, trying to sound convincing. But her voice was barely above a whisper, and Ethan's knowing gaze made her feel like he could see right through her. Ethan's chuckle was low and husky. "Keep telling yourself that, Ava. But I see the way you look at me sometimes... like you're trying to resist a temptation." He took another step closer, his eyes locked onto hers, and Ava felt her pulse race. "I don't know what you're talking about," she lied again, trying to sound convincing. But her eyes darted away, betraying her. Ethan's whisper was soft, his breath caressing her ear. "Oh, but I think you do, Ava. And soon, you'll have to admit it." His words sent shivers down her spine, and Ava knew she was in danger of falling for her husband's charms, even though she refused to admit it. The air was charged with tension, their banter a delicate dance of denial and attraction. And in that moment, Ava knew she was walking a thin line between resistance and surrender.

In 1984, America's streets were already a powder keg of crime and chaos. Then came Sean Rockefeller – and he brought matches to the party. But calling him just another troublemaker would be missing the point entirely. Sean wasn't your typical player in America's underworld. While others fought over street corners, he was building an empire that would touch everything from Hollywood to Wall Street. This wasn't just another crime story. This was about transformation: From a pizza shop worker to legal mastermind From street survivor to entertainment mogul From nobody to somebody who made Hollywood executives sweat From target to the head of an elite security operation From hustler to legitimate businessman One bullet to the head should have ended his story. Instead, it was just the beginning. Sean didn't just survive in America's underworld – he rewrote the rules. His empire would stretch from the courtrooms to the movie studios, from private security to legitimate business ventures. Some called him a thug who got lucky. Others said he was a genius who gamed the system. But everyone agreed on one thing: Once Sean Rockefeller entered the game, nothing in America's criminal landscape would ever be the same. They say America is the land of reinvention. Sean Rockefeller took that idea and ran with it – all the way to the bank.
