They said vows. They built a life. But no one ever talks about what happens when love isn't enough to hold it all together. Duke and Aminata were supposed to be forever. A power couple wrapped in luxury, loyalty, and a love that once burned through everything in its path. But behind the designer clothes and Instagram-perfect smiles lies a marriage quietly breaking. For years, they've tried to start a family. Doctor visits, prayers, and silent tears have filled the spaces between them. And with every failed attempt, Duke drifted farther away-from home, from love, from her. He found comfort in the nightlife of Atlanta and women who weren't his wife. And even though Aminata knew, she never left. Not because she was weak, but because her love was louder than her pain. She believed in the man she married, even when he stopped believing in them. Now, as everything they built starts to crumble, Aminata has to decide: Can she save their marriage without losing herself? Or is love sometimes not enough when the person you chose stops choosing you? MR&MRS is a raw and emotional love story about commitment, betrayal, and the fight to hold on when life doesn't go as planned.
