The Malika Heir

Reina Malika did not spend decades building the most feared mafia empire in the country just to watch her father hand it to her useless younger brother , Theo Malika.

The empire exists because of her. Every alliance, every fortune, every ounce of blood spilled bears her name. But in the Malika family, being a daughter is still her greatest crime. If she wants the throne she earned, she will have to take it by force.

Then fate deals her an even crueler blow.

Five years after her only son disappeared to escape the mafia life, Reina finds Lorenzo on the opposite side of a gold-heist battlefield wearing a Military Intelligence uniform.

At eighteen, Lorenzo walked away from his family’s empire, determined to build an honest life. He left behind his mother, his name, and Elara the daughter of the Malika family’s deadliest rival the girl he planned to escape with until she vanished from their future.

Now, after a failed operation against the Malika empire, Lorenzo is ordered to return home as an undercover officer. One successful mission could earn him the promotion he’s fought for. One mistake could expose him to the family he’s sworn to destroy.

While Reina fights to claim the throne stolen from her, she’s determined to make her son inherit it beside her.

But when blood loyalty collides with duty, buried love resurfaces, and betrayal lurks inside both families, Lorenzo must choose.

Will he become the soldier who destroys the Malika empire or the heir destined to rule it?
