The Price of a Name In the quiet village of Nkerehi, history lived in the soil, in the songs of the elders, and in the names carved on age old shrine stones. But everything changed the day Obiajulu a wealthy son of the land who bore no royal name returned from abroad with money, power, and a single burning desire: To erase Nkerehi from existence... and rename it Umuchukwu. Backed by his silent uncle, the Igwe, and cheered on by his loyal siblings, Obiajulu showered the community with gifts, cars for the elders, motorcycles and cash for the youths. But what began as generosity quickly turned into oppression. Anyone who refused to accept the new name was beaten, dragged from meetings, and shamed in the village square. The battle deepened when elders were bribed, youth groups turned violent, and the sacred traditions of Nkerehi were mocked, even desecrated. The blood of history cried out. But no one listened. Soon, it wasn't just a fight about names it became war. Every man who dared answer "Nkerehi" was marked, hunted, and attacked. Entire families were driven from their homes. For two years, the original sons and daughters of Nkerehi lived in exile displaced by wealth, protected only by faith. But the truth, like roots, runs deep. When government forces finally stepped in, those exiled returned home. But peace didn't follow them. Even then, the village stood divided: one half still holding tight to Nkerehi, the other swearing allegiance to Umuchukwu. The scars of betrayal remained. The fight wasn't over. Because a name is not just what you are called... It is who you are. And some names refuse to die. The Price of a Name is a powerful tale of identity, betrayal, and the unbreakable bond between a people and their past. Inspired by true events, it asks the haunting question: what happens when money tries to rewrite memory?

Isla Hart has spent her entire life protected from the truth. Sheltered in the cold, opulent mansion her father built with wealth stained by secrets, she has never known the world outside the safety of her gilded cage. She's been raised in the comfort of ignorance-her innocence preserved like a precious gem, untouched by the horrors lurking just beneath the surface. But nothing lasts forever. Her father, a man with debts deeper than anyone knows, has been in the claws of a dangerous criminal syndicate for years. And now, with everything collapsing around him, he makes an unthinkable decision to save himself: he will auction off his daughter's virginity to the highest bidder. The price of her body is nothing compared to the price of her father's survival. At twenty-one, Isla is thrust into a world she never knew existed-one where power and corruption reign, and she is nothing more than a transaction, a pawn in a game she doesn't understand. An underground auction, hidden in the dark corners of New York's criminal elite, will determine her fate. But as the bidding begins, there's one man who stands out from the rest. Vincenzo "Vince" Moretti is not like the others. A mafia don who commands respect through bloodshed and fear, Vince is a man who has made his fortune off ruthlessness. At thirty-seven, he has built an empire that stretches across continents, feared by everyone who dares cross him. Cruel, cold, and indifferent, Vince has never allowed weakness to cloud his judgment. But when his eyes land on Isla, everything shifts. She is an innocent, untouched by the darkness of the world he controls. She's everything he shouldn't want, but something about her purity calls to him. Vince outbids every man in the room, securing Isla as his own. She is no longer just a piece of property for sale-she is now his possession. A contract signed in blood, a life bound by the chains of obligation, desire, and power. To Isla, the world as she knew it shatters. Her father's debts are wiped clean in exchange for her innocence, but in the cold, unyielding world of Vince's mafia empire, she is now nothing more than a beautiful hostage-trapped in a life of submission. But with Vince, things are different. He is cruel to everyone else, manipulative and tyrannical in his dealings. Yet, when it comes to Isla, there's a strange gentleness. A possessive tenderness. He keeps her close, under his watchful eye, as if she's a rare, delicate thing that no one else can touch. But his protection comes at a price. Vince will not let her go. He will mold her, shape her, and possess her in ways she never thought possible. With every passing day, the line between desire and control blurs. Vince isn't just taking her body-he wants her heart, her mind, her soul. And as the days turn to weeks, Isla finds herself torn between survival and submission. She is drawn to him in a way she cannot escape, yet terrified of what she's becoming. But a storm is coming. Luca Santoro-Vince's former ally, now his deadliest rival-has been waiting for a weakness. A crack in Vince's otherwise unbreakable armor. And he has found it in Isla. Luca knows that Vince's obsession with Isla is his greatest vulnerability. He will stop at nothing to break her spirit and use her to bring Vince to his knees. His plan is simple: destroy Vince's empire by destroying Isla. Luca doesn't just want to own Isla-he wants to destroy what she means to Vince, and he will stop at nothing to make her his. The clock is ticking. As the tension between Vince and Luca escalates, Isla's world becomes even more dangerous. The mafia's brutal games are no longer just about loyalty and power-they're about survival. But the deeper Isla falls into Vince's world, the more she realizes that the man who controls everything around her is also controlling her heart. She cannot leave him, yet she knows that staying might cost her everything. Is she willing to lose herself in a man who sees her as both a possession and a passion? In a world where love and pain collide, Isla must decide if she can find freedom in submission or if her innocence will be the very thing that destroys her
