The Pact That Waited (on Wattpad) https://www.wattpad.com/story/411909425-the-pact-that-waited?utm_source=web&utm_medium=tumblr&utm_content=share_myworks&wp_uname=SophW1455 At 26, Lilith Beaumont cuts a striking figure-5ft10, with fiery cherry-red hair and piercing blue eyes-heir apparent to the Beaumont's, the most feared and powerful gang across the North West. Her world is one of loyalty, power, and unyielding control. Everything shifts when Francis Blackwood who is 31 years old and is 5ft11 and his green/grey eyes reappears. Once inseparable childhood friends, they drifted apart as they grew, walking opposite paths: she into the shadows of her family's empire, he into the light as a detective. Yet blood and history bind them-their fathers, Vincent and Arthur, forged an unbreakable bond decades ago when Vincent protected Arthur at school. Generations later, that pact still stands: the Beaumont's and Blackwood's protect each other, no matter what. Now, reunited, old sparks clash with new tensions. Duty pulls them apart, but their families' legacy-and a hidden, lingering connection-threatens to blur the line between justice and loyalty.
