Royal (Ma)ai

In the heart of a sprawling city where crime runs through the veins of the streets, the Royal Family isn't a dynasty of kings or queens-it's the most feared mafia family in the underworld. The Royal family, led by the calculating and ruthless Don, has controlled everything for decades-drugs, money, power. They are untouchable, feared, and respected by all, their name synonymous with the absolute law of the land. But when the Don's only daughter, Alessandra "Alex" Royal, comes of age, everything begins to shift. Raised in the shadows of her family's empire, Alex has always been told that her place is beside her father, learning the ways of the business and eventually inheriting control of the criminal empire. However, unlike her father, she is more than just ruthless. She is cunning, calculating, and unafraid to make brutal decisions-but she is also fiercely protective of those she loves, a trait that makes her both a liability and an asset in the world she inhabits. Her world is turned upside down when she meets Dominic "Domi" Moretti, the son of a rival mafia family. He's suave, charming, and dangerously ambitious. When their paths cross under tense circumstances, Alex expects to hate him-after all, the Morettis and the Royals have been enemies for generations. But as the two are forced into an uneasy alliance, a dangerous chemistry sparks between them, one that neither can ignore. As the city becomes a battleground for control, and a war between mafia families escalates, Alex finds herself torn between her loyalty to her family and her growing feelings for Domi. With every move, the stakes get higher. Trust is a fragile thing in this world, and love is both a weapon and a curse. As alliances shift, betrayals unfold, and enemies close in, Alex must navigate the treacherous waters of power, loyalty, and passion while confronting the harsh truth: in the mafia, love can be more dangerous than any gun. Royal (Mafia) is a thrilling, dark romance about power, loyalty, and the price of love in a world ruled by fear and violence. As Alex and Domi's relationship deepens, they realize that in the mafia, there is no such thing as a clean slate-only the constant struggle to stay on top... or risk losing everything. In this game of survival, the Royals aren't just fighting for control of the streets-they are fighting for their lives.
