In a house filled with empty bottles and louder silence, she's learned how to survive-balancing school, exhaustion, and the responsibility of raising her two-year-old sister, Love. Her parents are present in body but absent in every way that matters, leaving Essence to grow up faster than she ever should have. Sincere Amazi Banks comes from a world that taught him love is earned through pain. Older, guarded, and shaped by the streets, he's spent his life believing survival is the only thing promised to people like him. Dreams were a luxury he couldn't afford-until Essence. When their lives collide, what begins as quiet understanding turns into something dangerous: hope. But loving each other comes with consequences, and in a world where everything has a cost, they must decide how much they're willing to lose to hold on to each other. Because some love stories don't ask for your heart. They ask for everything.

Kairi never wanted to be a wife. She wanted to be chosen....over and over again. Behind the gates of luxury estates, private jets, and hush money silence lives Kairi, the woman Kentrell runs to when the fame gets heavy and the marriage feels empty. She's sharp, tongued, unapologetically toxic, and dangerously addictive, everything his polished image and perfect wife aren't allowed to be. With Kairi, Kentrell breathes. With Jazlyn, he performs. Jazlyn has the ring, the children, the last name, and the unspoken understanding that her husband will never be faithful. She plays her role flawlessly, maintaining the image of a loyal wife beside one of the most famous rappers in the world. In return, she gets security, status, and silence. Kairi gets everything else. Designer bags dropped off without questions. Late, night calls that never go unanswered. Hotel keys, overseas trips, and the kind of love that exists only in the shadows. She knows she'll never be Mrs. Gaulden and she doesn't want to be. She loves the lifestyle, the chaos, and the version of him that only shows up for her. But lines blur when feelings deepen, jealousy creeps in, and power starts to shift. As Kentrell's career grows and the pressure tightens, the balance between wife and mistress becomes fragile. Secrets pile up, emotions turn reckless, and one wrong move could cost everyone everything. Because in this game, nobody's innocent....and being the mistress doesn't mean you're the one with the least to lose Cover by @JaiinovelsX0

Bad girls ain't no good, and the good girls ain't no fun..

Kerria Love Banks has built her life around faith. Church is her sanctuary, prayer is her language, and God is the constant she trusts when the world feels uncertain. Loving deeply and believing fiercely has always come naturally to her. Kesani Amari Bennett doesn't believe in God-not after a childhood where religion was used to excuse pain, and not after losing the one person who ever made him feel safe. Raised by survival and hardened by loss, Kesani trusts actions over promises and keeps his heart guarded behind a life he knows is dangerous. When their worlds collide, faith and skepticism meet in the most unexpected way. Drawn to each other despite their differences, Kerria and Kesani fall into a love that challenges everything they thought they knew-about God, about healing, and about what it means to truly be seen. But love doesn't erase trauma, and belief doesn't come without questions. As their relationship deepens, the tension between faith and pain threatens to pull them apart, forcing them to confront whether love can exist where belief does not.

I love you." but he also loved her and he can't have both so what he pose to do. HIS MISSES, HIS MISTRESS.
