Cause you give me something familiar 🖤 • "Look, I ain't mean to wake you up. I was just getting my shit and leaving," he said, quickly reaching down to grab his shirt from off of the ground near a fallen lamp. I guess that was what caused the crash earlier. "We don't even have to talk about it, for real," he rushed out. "So, you was just gon' fuck and dip?" My words stopped him in his tracks. "Without sayin' nothin'?" I was lowkey hurt at the realization that he was tryna sneak out of my spot after what we did. "Kofi...we fucked," he whispered the last part guiltily, as if he was afraid to say it out loud. "You're straight. I-" "Obviously, not anymore...after the way I had you screaming last night." . *Spin-off from Waves

Four years after escaping Project 8111-and four years after the man he loved disappeared, Apollo Knight has built a quiet life with his three-year-old and his best friend, Jaysa. The nightmares still linger, but he's learned how to survive without hope. Until Red returns. Back from the shadows and determined to stay, Red is ready to fight through Apollo's heartbreak, doubt, and anger to prove one thing: He never stopped caring for him-and he's not leaving again. What Apollo doesn't know is that Red didn't leave without reason. He vanished to protect them both. And now that Red has shown his face, the danger he ran from has resurfaced-hungry, watching, and coming for them both.

8 prisoners. 1 remote island. 10 years later. Ten years have passed since the original Project 8110 inmates escaped captivity from the island they'd be imprisoned on. In those ten years, they'd moved on with their lives, but stayed on guard, especially after receiving a message a few years after their escape from the man who had taken them-Lincoln. Ten years after their escape, the children of the inmates go missing, waking up on a highly secure remote island. The children are collared and imprisoned, labeled as inmates despite committing no known crimes. Now face to face with the man that tormented their parents, the children are thrown into their own challenges. These "inmates" are given simple instructions for a chance to survive and escape-if they can survive a series of brutal games and survive until the end, they will earn their lives and their freedom. The rules were simple: Survive, don't quit, and earn your freedom one death at a time. But these children know that Lincoln is not a man who plays fair. They know that their freedom is not guaranteed, and that the games are all an attempt to end their lives and get back at their parents. Behind the cameras, SEASON TWO: DEATH ROW is a global broadcast-a violent, updated social experiment designed to entertain the dark web by pitting those who truly wish to survive against those who he feels shouldn't exist in the first place. The true goal? Death to the offspring of his mortal enemies.

8 prisoners. 1 remote island. 10 challenges. These prisoners believed they had a chance to cut down their life sentences-if they survived a series of brutal challenges, mind games, and moral sacrifices. The rules were simple: don't kill, don't quit, and earn your freedom one task at a time. However, nothing was real. Not the time off. Not the rules. Not even the mercy. Behind the cameras, SEASON ONE: DEATH SENTENCE is a global broadcast-a violent social experiment designed to entertain the dark web by pushing society's "worst" to kill each other. The true goal? Make murder inevitable and to film every second. Until a few of them start connecting the dots. When inmates uncover the truth, the game changes. The hunted become hunters. The guards become prey. And the audience? They're about to witness the one thing they never saw coming...

He slowly turned to me with the meanest look I've ever seen on his beautiful face. His long legs allowed him to take three short steps towards me until we were face to face. He leaned down to reach my height and then pushed me against the wall. "I don't do relationships," he said very coldly. My heart dropped but my pride fell before my heart could reach my stomach. He resumed packing my bag. "Why not?" I asked with an attitude to appear unbothered but I really am. "Because, they're-" his sentence was cut off by gunshots. "Fuck!" He yelled then grabbed me and threw me on the floor behind the bed. _________________________ Life was never easy for Grace whether it was growing up in her country or moving to New York for a better life.
