Little does she know, Jamal has been secretly stalking and observing her every move, with a hidden agenda to corrupt and possess her. She doesnt know that Jamal's aloofness is a carefully constructed facade. He is obsessed with her. He knows everything: her work schedule, her favorite color, even the brand of lotion she keeps on her nightstand. His knowledge isn't innocent admiration; it's the product of meticulous, unsettling stalking. Jamal doesn't want Raya for a conventional relationship. His desires are far more twisted. He sees her perceived vulnerability as an opportunity. He wants to corrupt her, to push her boundaries, to strip away her independence and remake her in his own image. He wants to possess her, body and soul. (This story has been edited and is now completed.)

Many people think I'm dumb, scary, or grimy. But I don't care what yall think. Yall witnessed what I went through with my babydaddy, Massiah, as a single mom only trying to keep my daughter out of danger. Yall saw how he somewhat tried to control my life. Same as he always came for me when I needed saving, even if I hated depending on him to save me. It was hard for me, but eventually he gave me no choice but to be okay with that and to be able to stand on my own two feet without needing someone to save me all the time. Not only that, but he soon managed to get me tied into his game. Everything you're about to witness is what happened two years after I gave birth to Ermes.

Massiah Ira Gray- I always had my eyes on one female. I just hate that I got locked up right after I crushed. Aoki Dream Gates- A one-night stand changed my life forever. He just had to disappear when I found out I was pregnant.
