Zadie wasn't built for the streets, she was built to escape them. At 19, she leaves Philly behind and moves to Baltimore with her father, enrolling at Morgan University and focusing on her books, her business, and her future. Known for her flawless lashes and growing TikTok fame, Zadie keeps her circle small and her life even smaller. Because she knows exactly what the streets can do..she's seen it through her own family. Dakota, better known as Koda, is everything she's been taught to avoid. Over East, his name carries weight. He moves how he wants, makes his money how he knows, and stays connected to a world Zadie refuses to be part of. School was never his path but Morgan is still his territory through the people he calls family. When Zadie and Koda cross paths, it was never supposed to be anything serious. But in a city like Baltimore, nothing stays simple for long. The more Zadie tries to stay in her lane, the deeper she gets pulled into Koda's world and the harder it becomes to tell the difference between love and danger. Because in the 410... love don't come without consequences.

They were never supposed to be anything more than content. Ray and Madi built their audience on late-night streams, chaotic energy, and jokes that blurred the line between friendship and something more. The chat loved it. The clips went viral. And everything was always "just for the stream." Until it wasn't... When feelings start slipping through the cracks and a new streamer enters the picture, the line between real and fake begins to disappear. And suddenly, the biggest question isn't what the chat thinks- ...it's what they mean to each other when the cameras are off. ALL COPY RIGHT CLAIMS !!! ONLY FICTION !!! NOT TRYING TO HARM ANYONE IN THIS BOOK !!! (Discontinued)

"Maybe you got what I'm missin... would you keep it real and..." His voice cracks a little but he don't stop. He close his eyes like he feeling it deep in his chest. "My heart belong to you, baby would you act right... could you be the one on my side... or would you run and hide..." He draw harder when he say that last part. Pencil pressing into the page like he mad at it. Like he mad at himself.

❛𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝒎𝒆?❜ he asked, voice low like it wasn't meant for nobody but her. 𝒛𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐡 didn't speak, just tilted her head a little and stepped in close. she traced one of the tattoos on his arm, finger light like a whisper...when she finally looked up, slow and lazy, doe eyes glinting beneath her lashes--she kissed the corner of his mouth. once, twice--then pulled back. 𝒐𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢 smirked. ❛𝒅𝒊𝒅𝒏'𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝒔𝒐.❜ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ She doesn't speak-not out loud, not anymore. Zariah Hart's been quiet since the night she lost everything, and moving to The Palisade at Skyview Apartments was supposed to give her a fresh start. No expectations. No questions. Just peace. But peace gets complicated when a man like Omarion Jordan starts showing up in it. He's nothing like she expected. Tatted, quiet, with eyes that read people better than they speak. A mechanic with a past he doesn't explain-and a presence that says more than his mouth does. He doesn't ask about her silence. She doesn't flinch at his reputation. Somehow, that's enough. What starts as simple glances turns into shared space. What feels like comfort turns to something neither of them planned for. But Atlanta doesn't forget what people try to bury. And sometimes, the loudest truth is the one you never say out loud. 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐃: 𝐉𝐔𝐍𝐄 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓
