THE PHONE CALL THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING Arianna Fletcher's iPhone buzzed violently against the marble nightstand. Bleary-eyed, she grabbed it, expecting another business email. Instead, an unknown number flashed with a Harlem area code. *"Answer it,"* a voice in her head whispered. She swiped right. *"Ari, it's me."* Dave's voice was ragged, like he'd been running. *"Listen-I fucked up. They're coming. You gotta get out."* Arianna sat up, heart pounding. *"Who's coming? Dave, what the hell did you do?"* A gunshot exploded through the phone. Then silence.

You bring out feelings in me I never show Nobody has made me feel this way before I'm a good girl, but I wanna be bad for you I wanna be bad for you I wanna be bad-ad-ad I wanna be bad for you

Too young, too grown, one trip, one glance-Now they stuck.

"You'll always be my boo." In which, Genesis Renee Jackson returns home to New York City after spending years away. After graduating at the age of 18, she heads off to college in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Years later, she returns home, now at the age of 24, and unexpectedly runs into her ex-boyfriend and ex-best friend, Denzel Monroe, her first love. Denzel "Ace" Monroe Jr. An ex-basketball player turned Drug Kingpin, whose dreams were shattered by the death of his father, Denzel Sr. A former police officer, who had been killed on duty at the hands of his fellow officers. He'd been assigned to take down the dirty cops in his precinct known as "The Tribe." A group of dirty cops who'd worked for plenty of the city's biggest criminals. The Tribe committed countless robberies, sexual assaults, and murders including plenty of their own. The crime-based police group's resilience and dedication to the underworld had been underestimated. The crime ring had no plans of going down without a fight, a shootout with the members led to the death of Denzel Sr and his partner. With nowhere else to turn, Denzel stepped up as the man of the house at the age of 15 years old and turned to the streets to provide for his family. During this time, he and Genesis fell in love, going through the trials and tribulations of a relationship. What happens when the two of them see each other again after all these years? Will the two be able to try again or will the past and time apart shatter their chances?

She learned early how to seal things away. Emotion filed down, expression kept neutral, desire folded so neatly it almost disappears. She gives nothing unless it's earned, and even then, only in pieces. Control isn't armor to her - it's instinct. He is cut from the same discipline. Composed, unreadable, careful with what he reveals and even more careful with what he wants. His restraint isn't coldness; it's calibration. He knows exactly how much to show and exactly when to stop. Between them, nothing rushes. It pulls. What lives here is not loud. It's contained. Pressurized. Waiting. Eclipsed moves in shadows - where longing is disciplined, connection is measured, and the most powerful moments happen in what's withheld. In a world that rewards exposure, they choose control, even as the gravity between them threatens to close the distance they've both sworn to keep. Some connections don't demand attention. They draw it in.

Yeah I know what you're thinking..and to answer your question..yes it's really me. I have brought the back the series formerly known as SEED is now Yours Truly.

Love that was supposed to be forbidden , boundaries crossed that wasn't supposed to . How do you fall in love on DEATH ROW ?

Reentry Case 007: Male, 37, assault with intent to kill, parole conditions strict. Not to be left alone with female staff.

August Smith has survived by following orders and trusting procedure. As a decorated intelligence operative, she understands that discipline is the difference between control and chaos, life and death. Her world is built on classified files, sealed missions, and emotional distance. Fraternization is forbidden. Curiosity is dangerous. Feelings are a liability she cannot afford. Carter Bernard is power wrapped in uniform-high-ranking, precise, and untouchable. His authority extends beyond rank into operations that never reach official reports. When August is placed under his command as a protected asset, the rules become harder to define. He is not supposed to look at her twice. She is not supposed to react when he does. But every briefing tightens the space between command and compromise. As missions escalate and secrets stack higher, the line between handler and asset fractures. What begins as controlled proximity turns volatile, threatening careers, clearances, and lives. In a system built to eliminate emotional risk, August and Carter must decide what's more dangerous: breaking protocol, or obeying it. Because in this chain of command, love isn't just forbidden. It's disqualifying.
