BOOK I: RUTHLESSLY FAMOUS

Hi!

Welcome to Ruthlessly Famous, the first book in my Till Death Becomes Ruthless series. ♡

This story has been sitting in my head for a while, and I’m finally letting it out. Expect chaos, secrets, questionable decisions, six very different men, and Elias being... well, Elias.

This is a BL poly story with mafia, romance, fame, family bloodlines, and a lot of things that aren’t what they seem. Not interested in BL? You may leave. Kindly, please.

Also, please keep in mind that this is fiction, and some things may not be realistic or accurate to real-world cultures, careers, or organizations.

There will be some mentions of abuse, sexual assault, self harm, and some other TW’s. But worry not, there will only be mentions or conversations of the following heavy topics. Except for revenge killing because well, some characters will definitely deserve it.

There will be no detailed, graphic, or written sexual assault scenes nor self harm because I’d rather not make this book too focused on heavy and dark scenes.

No raping or SA will happen between the main characters. Because honestly? We’ve had more than enough of that in other books here. I would prefer not to trouble you all and myself any further with complicated, wrong situations...heh.

This book will have no smut scenes because I want this to be for ages 13 and above. Hey, don’t curse me just yet. I’m not finished!

Even though kissing, making out, and fade to black smut scenes would only be included here without the whole scene, I will be uploading a book which features the life of the main characters after this book along with ALOT of smut. Stay tuned for that!

But if you only came here for the smut, then I suggest you leave this book right here because you are sure to be smut deprived if you continued reading with the thought of “I want smut.”

Trust me, you’d want to choose another book instead because my smut scenes would appear much more later.

But if you just can’t bear to leave and is invested in the plot, then that is completely fine! Read and stay as long as you wish, my darlings, and thank you for the support.

I apologize in advance if there are any typos or grammar mistakes in any of the chapters. Please comment if there are because your corrective suggestions are all totally welcome!

Please avoid any rude comments that can harm others! Constructive criticism is allowed along with your own thoughts to the scenes and actions our beloved characters make.

“Give respect, and respect shall be given.”

Do not forget to follow, vote, and comment for more updates and I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing it.

Now, let’s see what Elias just got himself into.
