requiem (noun) re·qui·em a mass (= a Christian ceremony) at which people honor and pray for a dead person.

"And I keep it by the dresser, Just in case a bitch ever try to break my heart, I won't let you. I still got blood on my denim, that was all the blood that was in her. No more love in a nigga." *ᵖʳᵉᵈᵉᶜᵉˢˢᵒʳ ᵗᵒ ᵗᵇˢ*

why do you deny yourself heaven? why do you consider yourself undeserving? why are you afraid of love?

For her & her son, she'll find the strength to let go, love again & rebuild.

"Beautiful things don't ask for attention." In a world that thrives on conformity, August is an anomaly. Raised in a secretive overbearing family, she was chosen to leave its hidden grounds-not for freedom, but for duty. Sent to college to become the strategic mind for her generation behind the family's growing empire, she tries to move through the world like a ghost, draped in gothic shadows with secrets too heavy to share but her style is just too much to go unnoticed by judging eyes unscathed. Then she meets Kason through his older brother. A rising rapper with a reckless charm and a hunger for something real, dealing with battles of his own, he's instantly drawn to August's eerie demeanor and the quiet storm that lingers behind her dark mysterious eyes. She's nothing like the women he's used to-unbothered by trends, and untouched by the need for validation. The more she resists, the deeper he falls, his infatuation turning into an obsession he can't shake. One he cant let go of. As their worlds collide, the slow burn of their connection threatens to ignite everything August has been taught to suppress. With her past closing in and expectations pressing down, she must decide if she's willing to defy everything she's ever known for the chance at something dangerously real. In a society that demands she fit a mold, August stands in defiance. Unfortunately, love has a way of making even the strongest question their silence.
