I stay for a reason

Seventeen-year-old Elena Romano has spent her life staying out of trouble. Growing up in the shadows of a powerful mafia family, she knows the rules: keep your head down, don't ask questions, and never get involved. But when she accidentally overhears a secret she was never meant to know, she becomes a target. Luca DeLuca is the heir to one of the most feared crime families in the city. Cold, untouchable, and dangerous, he doesn't believe in love-only loyalty and power. But when Elena's life is put in jeopardy, he makes a risky choice: to protect her. Thrown into a world she swore to avoid, Elena doesn't know who to trust-especially not Luca, whose reputation is built on deception. Yet, the more time she spends with him, the more she realizes that beneath his icy exterior, there's something even more dangerous than his enemies... his heart. But in a world where alliances shift like shadows and betrayal is just a heartbeat away, Elena will have to decide: walk away before it's too late, or risk everything for the boy she was never supposed to love.

In the heart of the African savannah lies the village of Ndomo, where Amina, a young girl with a mysterious heritage, discovers an ancient artifact linked to her ancestors' forgotten power. The artifact, long buried in the earth, holds immense energy capable of shaping the future of her people and the land itself. As Amina comes to understand her connection to this force, she is torn between embracing its power to protect her village or resisting its dangerous influence, knowing that the same power led to the fall of her ancestors. Amina's journey is fraught with internal and external conflicts, as rival clans seek the artifact to control the land, and Amina grapples with the temptation to wield its strength. Betrayal, self-doubt, and the weight of legacy shadow her every step. The artifact's power, a force that once corrupted and destroyed her ancestors, now seeks to possess her, forcing Amina to make choices that will define her future-and the future of Ndomo. As the darkness returns, Amina must confront not only the external threats that endanger her people but also the dangerous pull of the artifact within her. The line between good and evil blurs as she faces the ultimate question: can she control the artifact's power, or will it consume her like it did those before her? With a suspenseful cliffhanger, the novel explores themes of identity, the burden of legacy, the corrupting influence of power, and the courage to make difficult choices for the greater good.
