Victoria Laurent

Victoria Laurent is feared throughout the underground world — cold, untouchable, and dangerously powerful. Behind black dresses, razor-sharp words, and emotionless eyes stands the queen of a criminal empire built on blood, fear, and absolute control. After losing her family at a young age and being raised inside violence, Victoria learned one rule above all else: Never love anyone enough to lose them. Then she meets Leo Valentino. Warm, stubborn, and impossibly kind, Leo crashes into Victoria’s carefully controlled world and slowly becomes the one person capable of making her laugh, breathe, and feel human again. What begins with tension and sarcasm slowly transforms into a dangerous love neither of them expected. But loving Victoria Laurent comes with consequences. As Leo falls for the girl hidden beneath the darkness, powerful enemies begin closing in. Gang wars erupt across the city, betrayals spread through the empire, and Lucien Devereux — the obsessive king raised beside Victoria — refuses to let her go without destruction. With bullets flying, kingdoms collapsing, and loyalty turning deadly, Victoria must choose between the empire she was born to rule… or the boy who became her peace. In a world where love is seen as weakness and power demands sacrifice, one question remains: Can the queen of the underworld survive becoming human again? — VENOM
