What starts as a dangerous encounter turns into an obsession. He wants her. Not just by his side… but under his control. But loving a man like him comes at a price. Enemies are watching. Betrayal lurks in the shadows. And the deeper she falls for him, the more she risks losing everything—including herself.

Chapter 1 - KING OF THE STREETS, QUEEN OF HIS HEART

KING OF THE STREETS, QUEEN OF HIS HEART

A Dark Mafia Romance

BLURB

He didn't ask for her.

He took her.

Zane controls the city. Money. Power. Fear.

Nothing surprises him—until Nia.

She's not afraid of him.

She doesn't obey him.

And that makes him want her even more.

So he gives her a choice…

365 days in his world.

Or walk away and regret it forever.

But what starts as control becomes obsession.

And obsession?

Turns into something neither of them can survive.

CHAPTER 1: HE SAW HER

The moment Zane saw her…

He stopped breathing.

Not literally.

Men like him didn't lose control like that.

But something shifted.

Something dangerous.

She wasn't like the others.

No fake smile.

No desperate attention.

No fear.

Just attitude.

And that?

That was a problem.

Because Zane didn't like problems.

He owned them.

CHAPTER 2: THE MOMENT

"You."

That's all he said.

But it was enough.

Nia turned slowly.

Her eyes met his.

And for a second—

The entire room disappeared.

"Are you talking to me?" she asked.

Zane leaned back, calm, powerful.

"Come here."

It wasn't a request.

Nia didn't move.

"I don't take orders from strangers."

A pause.

Then—

Zane smiled.

Dark. Dangerous.

"Good," he said.

"I hate boring women."

CHAPTER 3: THE DECISION

"I'm leaving," Nia said, grabbing her bag.

Zane stood up.

Now he was close.

Too close.

"You can leave," he said quietly.

Her heart raced.

"Then move."

He didn't.

Instead—

He leaned in.

"You'll come back."

Her breath caught.

"No, I won't."

Zane's voice dropped.

"Everyone comes back."

CHAPTER 4: THE KIDNAP (BUT MAKE IT OBSESSION)

She should've gone home.

She didn't.

And that was her first mistake.

Because when the black car stopped beside her—

It was already too late.

The door opened.

Strong hands.

Dark silence.

And then—

Nothing.

CHAPTER 5: HIS HOUSE

When she woke up…

She knew.

This wasn't normal.

Luxury.

Security.

Power.

Zane stood by the window.

Like he owned the world.

"You're awake," he said.

Nia sat up fast.

"What did you do?!"

He turned slowly.

"I brought you here."

"That's kidnapping!"

A pause.

Then—

"Yes."

CHAPTER 6: 365 DAYS

"You're staying," Zane said.

Nia laughed.

"You're insane."

"Maybe."

He walked closer.

"But you're still here."

Her heart pounded.

"For how long?"

Zane looked straight into her eyes.

"365 days."

Silence.

"And if I refuse?"

His answer?

Cold.

"You won't."

CHAPTER 7: THE RULE

"There's one thing you need to understand," Zane said.

Nia crossed her arms.

"I understand that you're crazy."

He ignored that.

"You're mine while you're here."

Her stomach flipped.

"I don't belong to anyone."

Zane stepped closer.

So close she couldn't breathe.

"Say that again," he whispered.

She did.

But softer.

CHAPTER 8: THE TENSION

Days passed.

Nothing happened.

And that was worse.

Because every look lasted too long.

Every silence felt loud.

Every moment—

Too close.

Too intense.

"You're staring," she said.

Zane didn't look away.

"I know."

CHAPTER 9: THE TOUCH

It started with her wrist.

He grabbed it gently.

But firmly.

Like he wasn't asking.

Like he already knew.

Nia froze.

"You should let go," she whispered.

Zane's voice dropped.

"Or what?"

She didn't answer.

Because she didn't want him to.

CHAPTER 10: THE BREAKING POINT

"I hate you," she said.

Zane nodded.

"I know."

"But I don't want to leave."

That was the truth.

And it scared her more than him.

Zane stepped closer.

"Say it again."

She didn't.

So he did.

"For you."

CHAPTER 11: THE ENEMY

The message came at midnight.

"She's your weakness."

Zane stared at the screen.

Jaw tight.

Eyes cold.

No.

She wasn't a weakness.

She was worse.

She was everything.

CHAPTER 12: TAKEN AGAIN

This time—

It wasn't him.

Nia was dragged.

Screaming.

Fighting.

"Zane!" she cried.

But he wasn't there.

And that?

That was their biggest mistake.

CHAPTER 13: WAR

Zane didn't shout.

Didn't panic.

Didn't hesitate.

He became something else.

Something darker.

"Burn it all," he said.

And they did.

CHAPTER 14: THE RESCUE

When he found her—

Everything stopped.

She looked broken.

Scared.

Alive.

Zane walked to her slowly.

Like she might disappear.

"I'm here," he said.

And for the first time—

He sounded human.

CHAPTER 15: THE TRUTH

"You had 365 days," she whispered.

Zane shook his head.

"No."

Her heart dropped.

"No?"

He stepped closer.

"Now it's forever."

FINAL LINE

He took her for 365 days…

But she became the only thing he could never let go.
