Something called love... Ayanna never asked for attention. She's quiet, focused, and just trying to heal from the grief that never really left her. Working late nights at a tattoo shop is how she copes, alone, unbothered, and uninterested in drama. Then Hunxho walks in. A rising rapper with eyes that hold too many secrets and a name that carries weight in more places than just music charts. He's used to women falling over him, used to fast love and fake loyalty. But Ayanna's different. She doesn't flinch. Doesn't chase. Doesn't care who he is. At least, that's what she tells herself. What starts as a late-night walk in turns into a slow-burning connection neither of them expected. But when pain runs deep and loyalty gets tested, love anit always enough. Sometimes the heart wants what it fears the most.

can you find real connection within a power imbalance? true love? in a strip club, in the deep depths of the world where the average person would cringe and flee away from? can you find it when you're balancing between two worlds? teetering between two identities? fighting to keep them separate, safe from the other? what about when you have already written it off? already decided that it was a fairytale? something people tell their daughters so they eventually settle for other people's flaws out of fear from being alone. can you find real connection, true love.. in an industry designed to make it impossible? you can try. #1 in kwn sept&oct&nov '25🤭😻😻 #2 in womanxwoman oct '25🧎🏽‍♀️
