Summary

Ximena has only known one rule since she was a little girl: survive or get eaten alive. Weakness gets you killed. Love gets you buried. Raised inside a cartel empire, she learned early that affection doesn’t exist in her world. Only power. Violence, and more importantly, survival. Every scar carved into her skin reminds her exactly what happens when you let your guard down. Then Leonardo Macini walks into her life. Heir to the Yakuza and the Italian mafia, Leonardo is dangerous, obsessive, and used to getting whatever he wants. And the moment he sees Ximena? He wants her. No matter the cost. But while their worlds collide, secrets that have been buried deep threaten to destroy everything, and the closer Leo gets to her, the more dangerous she becomes, not only to everyone around her… but to herself.

Welcome

Welcome to Project X.

Yes, this is the Ximena Guerrero you all fell in love with from the series, but let’s leave that version behind. This Ximena? She’s different. This Ximena is the version that's more broken, that more shattered. Hit after hit, loss after loss, she’s been trying to hold it together with a grin and duct tape.

And in this version... she doesn’t hide it.

While you might catch glimpses of scenes you remember, this story is not a repeat. It’s rawer. Darker. More honest. You’ll ride a wave of emotion with her, rage, grief, love, andfear. The kind of chaos that makes you pause and say, “What the actual fuck.”

But most importantly... I hope you fall in love with her not for her strength, but for her brokenness. For the girl who keeps going, even when the world keeps telling her to quit.

So sit back, grab your favourite poison, and buckle up.

Welcome to Project X.

Love always, Naomi

jo987_123: The story could be longer, the ending feels like you've missed the last episode of a series that is never going to be shown again and no recording of it exists anywhere. A lot of continuity errors, she leaves her car in town/at college and then it's at home the next morning.She helped him out of his...
