This story is about a woman named Ema Baker who lives in Mahogany Town, who is the first woman detective in her town working for MTPD (Mahogany Town Police Department).

So that’s what she does (for his sake), she marries another guy who is also marrying (because of his parents), Officer Renato Gonzales. And hey, they hate each other.
Ema is a nightowl, not a kitchen-princess, not the sophisticated one, but clever, sharp-eyed and an amazing detective. Renato does the cooking, sweeps the house and is an early bird. Also does he still see Hailey Fisherman (his fiance of five years before he married Ema) everyday at 12 o’clock for coffee which Ema knows and is totally okay with.
Detective Ema is not interested in a relationship and is the best detective in the department. Detective Yopin thinks otherwise though and tries to get her transferred.
Everyone who doesn't know Ema, thinks Renato is the detective. Because of this a lot of assassinations, burglaries and assaults are taken by Renato for Ema. This’ll eventually lead to them coming close.

💎Diamonds in the Rough💎: 100/100% draft

Spoiler
This story is about a woman named Carla Sanchez who ran away from her father at the age of thirteen, because he was dealing with drugs and smuggling diamonds. He is known as King Sanchez, king of the drug-world.
As her father lies on his deathbed, he wishes to see Carla once again. Despite everything, she believes he could change and takes the bus and goes to see him. As she arrives there, before she can give her father a hug, she gets kidnapped by two thieves.
Reggie Carter (funny, annoying ignorant idiot) and his sister Sia Carter (smart, short, sixteen-year old and loving sister) kidnapped Carla for her knowledge of diamonds. They are diamond dealers and wish to become rich with it. They steal stuff, sell it and move to another town, that’s how they live.
Carla, annoyed by this, has to listen to what they say. She's cooking up a plan to escape, but when Reggie holds a knife up her throat, she’s too afraid to do something. Eventually, she finds herself falling for Reggie and starts to grow close with them.
Later on Sia tells Carla that Reggie was in prison for killing their father. Reggie accidentally killed their father when he was stopping him from abusing their mother. So he went to juvie where he met Wilko Silver, later on DA Palma Winters and Daniel Anderson helped him out.
After the flashback, Reggie gives Carla back to her father, and this makes Carla angry for some reason. When she goes back, the two catch up and she finds out her father is still in the mob business and hasn’t changed a bit. He tells her about a diamond which can cure any illness only if all of the family members are dead.
Suddenly Carla starts choking on her paella and her father apologises. She asks if he would really let her die, he says her kidnapping only postponed his plan, with that she stops choking and says it was an old trick she learned from a friend.
She says she swapped the food, knowing he would poison her (as Reggie told her that was the way he killed her mother also). She steals the diamond from him and leaves him to die as she walks out of the mansion and Reggie and Sia are waiting for her there with a pickup (uhm.. A stolen one).
The three of them drive away together and steal loads more diamonds. With Carla and Reggie as a couple and Sia as their secretary (they can get in wherever they want).
