Chapter 1 - PROLOGUE

A secret war among the strongest in the Underground Society.

A battle in a place where only the mafia have the right to interfere.

The government isn’t involved and anyone who tries to get in the way, dies.

“If only I knew… that he would be the one I’d have to face in the middle of the war.”

Under the gloomy, rainy sky, I stood at the gates of our secret hideout.

Many have already fallen. Many of my father’s men have lost their lives.

And now, standing before me is the man I once thought would be my partner for life.

Tyler Clyde Shrewdly.

Surrounded by his armed men, he now has us completely cornered.

"To kill or to die."

Only one can rule the underground.

There’s no room for two kings one must fall, either Mr. Shrewdly or my father.

I can't surrender my father to a greedy man who only wants power.

With my gun in hand, I aimed at Tyler’s father.

In response, Tyler raised his weapon aimed directly at me.

He doesn’t know…

He doesn’t know that I carry his child in my womb.

And I have no plans of telling him now.

“If I had known you’d be the one standing in front of me today, I would’ve killed you back then.”

he said coldly, each word stabbing straight through my heart.

It hurt. But I had to pretend he was right.

That I deserved this.

The real war hadn’t even started…

But already, I could feel something trickling down my legs.

The pain in my stomach was unbearable.

My knees felt weak.

“You can’t give up now, Khoeznie… Get up.”

I told myself, even though I knew… I no longer had the strength to fight.

Moments later, a deafening gunshot rang out in front of me.

The bullet was heading straight toward my father.

With all the strength I had left, I closed my eyes, clutched my belly, and threw myself forward to shield him.

“I’m pregnant,”

I whispered . just before my body collapsed onto the ground.

I heard my father scream.

“We surrender! I won’t fight for the throne anymore. But please please, save my daughter !”

“Take everything! My life, my businesses, my empire . I’ll give it all to you. Just please… Let her live and baby in her belly!”

I felt his tears fall onto my face as he held me tightly, begging.

Then, someone else carried me urgently rushing me into a car.

I couldn’t see clearly...

But I knew the scent. I knew him.

Tyler.

“If anything happens to that child, I’m dragging you with him to the grave,”

he muttered coldly.

A twisted love. A deadly game.

Welcome to the world where love meets bloodline loyalty.
