A Virgin by Contract to a Wealthy Hood Bully 2

His name carries influence. His presence bends rooms. With him, the rules are supposed to change. But power doesn't erase danger—it draws it closer. For the first time in her life, Imani finds peace beside Grey. The calm feels real, almost deserved. Grey doesn't trust it. In their world, silence isn't safety—it's the breath held right before everything collapses. Des thought going home was the smart move. Familiar streets. Familiar walls. A place the past wouldn't think to follow. She was wrong. Home doesn't bury history—it puts you right back in its line of sight. Gavin's life being spared should've felt like mercy. Instead, it was strategy—the opening move in a game he never agreed to play. Survival, he learns, is sometimes just another form of control. As threats move quietly and alliances shift in the dark, one truth becomes impossible to ignore... In a city built on power, patience, and bloodlines, no one truly walks away. They don't escape the game. They only realize the rules when it's already too late.
