A young man is called to fight in a war in a place he's never heard of.

“I only want you, Maximus. I already told my parents that I love you and I'm going to marry you. No one else.” Aurora indignantly exclaimed. Max was shaking his head from what he heard. “No. No. You’re not being fair, Aurora.” He felt himself losing his strength as well as any chance to change her mind. Max leaned his body at the back of the single chair, almost sitting on it. He tugged on his necktie, needing some more air. His gaze fell on the ground. He’s powerless against his father. He won’t be able to protect his girlfriend from his family. He didn’t notice that Aurora was already in front of him. He just felt her palm on his cheeks, caressing it gently. He looked up to her. “You’re not fair.” He mumbled weakly. Like a defeated child. She’s rubbing her thumb against his cheeks. “The world’s not fair, Max.” Shaking her head. “It’s never fair.” She commented breathlessly. “You get everything you want.” He ignored her actions. He’d gone numb all over. This girl was too much of everything. Too selfish to even understand how he felt. “No. I don’t have your heart.” Max swatted her hand away and stood up straight. He chuckled at her response and halted. He shook his head as he looked at her straight in the eyes. “You won’t. You don’t even have one.” ************** Aurora Fontalva got everything except the heart of a certain man. She only wants Max. But how can she make him fall for her when he already had someone? He loves his girlfriend. Maximus D’Arco can’t escape his family’s wish for him to marry the only Fontalva heiress. Worse, Aurora even blackmailed him, or his girlfriend would suffer. Why would he fall for someone who doesn’t even care about his feelings? Only his girlfriend does. Is there really a thin line between love and hate? What if the thread breaks? **************** AN: Be warned!!! This is not your typical romance. As the story progresses, it tackles family, career, toxic relationships, twisted attraction, love, hate, lust, and heavy drama. And there are cases in which you can be sensitive. Lastly, this is not for the weak of heart. Please read the FOREWORD. Thank you.

"Flower Blooms Under the Moonlight": _Prologue: The Moon's Promise_ Lunarhaven, 1850 Under the full moon's silvery gaze, two lovers stood before the ancient tree, their hearts entwined like the branches above. María, with skin as pale as moonlight, and Carlos, with eyes as dark as the night sky, vowed to protect the town's hidden magic.

His life has been defined by suffering, each hardship traced back to a single, elusive figure who shattered his world. Consumed by vengeance, Lobo sets out to find this person, willing to risk everything to confront them. His search leads him to Arcadia, a sprawling city ruled by five powerful mafia syndicates, each more dangerous than the last. These criminal empires control not only the city’s underworld but also its most prized asset: mastery over one of the nine elemental powers. In this world, every human is born with the ability to control one element—fire, water, earth, wind, lightning, ice, metal, shadow, or light—but no one can wield more than one. Arcadia's Big Five use their elemental abilities to maintain control over the city, turning it into a dangerous battleground for anyone daring to oppose them. For Lobo, Arcadia is the final step in his journey for revenge.

Lobo's mastery over his own element is the key to his survival, but in a city full of elemental powerhouses, it might not be enough. As he infiltrates the underworld, he must form alliances with those who may betray him and fight enemies far stronger than himself. Arcadia is a city of chaos, where the wrong move could end his life, but Lobo knows that the only way to find his target is to dive headfirst into this deadly game. His revenge may come at the cost of his life, but for Lobo Dhib, that’s a price worth paying.
