romance

Alex Chen mops TechNova’s office’s polished floors in the busy heart of New York City. He is just another nameless janitor to the busy workers who are hurrying by, someone to be laughed at or ignored. They are unaware that a man of extraordinary power and influence lies beneath this simple guise. Alex was raised to be a leader because he was the heir to the old Phoenix Clan. In any case, a severe fight for control constrained him in banishment, abandoning all that he knew, including Elena, the lady he cherished. In the mountains of Tibet, Alex studied under a reclusive healer for years, becoming an expert in both martial arts and medicine. In the shadows, he fabricated the Shadow Circle, a secret network so huge and compelling that even New York's most remarkable figures murmur its name in wonder. Alex has since returned to take back what is his. Elena is involved in a relationship with Nicholas Vega, the ruthless heir of the Scorpion Syndicate, as the rival Syndicate's hold on Chinatown has grown. Covering his real character, Alex carries on with an apparently typical life as a janitor while plotting his vengeance.

In *Covenants of Chaos*, **Lucas Kane** is a young man fighting to survive in a world that seems determined to crush him. Overwhelmed by debt, working long hours at a dead-end delivery job, and caring for his ailing mother, Evelyn, Lucas’ life takes a dark and unexpected turn when he is hit by a speeding car. The accident should have killed him, but instead, it awakens something extraordinary within him: a **Covenant**, a supernatural ability that allows him to see glimpses of the future. --- The Awakening Lucas discovers that his newfound power isn’t just a blessing—it’s a curse. The visions of the future are disorienting and painful, and they come with no instruction manual. Worse, his awakening doesn’t go unnoticed. The Moretti crime family, to whom Lucas’ family owes a large debt, takes a sudden interest in him. **Silas Moretti**, the ruthless mafia don, sees Lucas as a valuable asset in his quest for power and control. To bind Lucas to him, Silas forces Lucas into a marriage with his daughter, **Aria Moretti**, promising that this union will erase the Kane family’s debt. --- The Marriage of Convenience Lucas and Aria’s relationship begins with hostility and mistrust. Lucas views Aria as a privileged, untouchable mafia princess, while Aria sees Lucas as weak and desperate. However, as Lucas is dragged deeper into the Moretti family's world of crime, betrayal, and violence, he begins to see that Aria is just as much a victim of her father’s ambition as he is. She despises her father’s empire and dreams of escaping his control. Their shared desire for freedom becomes the foundation for an unlikely partnership.
