Never expressing what he felt, yet was so angry at everyone for not noticing. Angry at himself for not expressing anything. Angry about the circumstances he was forced into. Then he meets her. Aaliyah, the girl whose eyes sparkled with adoration when he came around. The girl whose actions were never malicious, radiating kindness everywhere she went. When he loses her, he stays quiet, packaging himself into a persona that's easier for people to digest. Until Isaac sees Aaliyah again. Until he has a chance to make things right. Until Isaac gets the person who never once made him feel small or misunderstood. The person whom he thinks he could be with for 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲.

In a city where loyalty is rare and danger is currency, two women live on opposite sides of survival. A soft-spoken tattoo artist with a steady hand and a guarded heart spends her nights turning pain into art. Her shop is her sanctuary no drama, no trouble, no attachments. Then there's the other woman a feared drug dealer with a reputation that makes people cross the street. She moves fast, thinks faster, and trusts no one. Their worlds collide over something small... a tattoo appointment that wasn't supposed to mean anything. But nothing stays simple when secrets run deep, enemies get closer, and feelings start to blur the lines between survival and surrender. Because in a city like this, love isn't just risky... it's dangerous.

Kairo "Kai" Bennett doesn't believe in being chosen anymore. She's the one girls talk to when they're bored. The one they like in secret but never in public. The one they say "you're different" to-right before they leave. She's tired of being the almost. Then Talia Monroe walks into her life - not loud, not flashy, not playing games. Just steady. Soft in places Kai never got to be soft. Strong in places she's still learning to stand. They both carry heavy minds. Overthinking. Old wounds. Nights where everything feels too loud inside their heads. But instead of running from the hard conversations, they sit in them. Sometimes they argue. Sometimes they cry. Sometimes they go quiet. But they always come back and say: "Talk to me. Don't shut me out." This isn't a love that avoids the storm. It's the kind that holds hands in the rain. For the first time, Kai isn't chasing. She's chosen.

Soul Maurielle is quiet, introverted and to herself. She's been spoiled her whole life and has had everything handed to her, whether it was from her father, a respected drug kingpin who passed when she was 18, or her twin brother Shilo who followed in the footsteps of his father. Soul isn't new to the 'street life' she hates it and all that it brings. That life did nothing but take from her family. Her brother on the other hand loved the fast life and the quick money that came with, so he followed in the footsteps of their father bringing drama to her door when and wherever. Trap has never been one for many words, he allowed his actions to speak through all that he did. And boy did his actions speak. Trap is a popular loner, so many have been around him but not many knows who he his. Even those closest to Trap barely get more than 5 words from him at a time. He handles his business and goes about his day. Trap is deep in the life, had been since he was 15. Virgil, the father figure Trap never had, was the man who took him in and introduced him to the life. His mom had been struggling with bills, his sister, who was on her school cheer team, had no way to get her gear and he had one option. Turn to the streets, one of his boys had been bragging about the fast money he was getting and Trap needed that, his boy introduced him to Virgil and it was off from there. The 2 are one and the same, both quiet, reserved and to themselves. But Soul isn't looking for love, let alone a man that's in the same life she lost her dad to. She hates the life and everything that comes with it, so why can't she just leave this man alone? Started: February 12, 2026 Finished...
