He was chaos in the shape of a man. And she was the only peace he ever wanted to keep. Kingston "Kash" Vaughn isn't just misunderstood-he's unmedicated, unhinged, and unforgiven. Diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia after witnessing his mother's murder, Kash walks the line between genius and madness, street legend and broken boy. He doesn't trust people. Doesn't believe in peace. And he damn sure doesn't believe in love. Until her. Rai'Lynn "Rai" Tate is used to saving everybody but herself. As a crisis center worker, she's been trained to handle the darkest minds-but nothing prepares her for Kash. Their connection is magnetic, twisted, and immediate. He sees her, obsesses over her, needs her like air. And the scariest part? She needs him right back. What starts as therapy turns into obsession. Passion turns into control. And love? Love becomes a war. Because when the voices in his head grow louder... She's the only one he'll listen to. But what happens when the thing you love most is the same thing that might destroy you?

Ex lovers sometimes find their way back to each other, not out of habit, but because time has softened the edges that once pushed them apart. They return wiser, carrying lessons etched into their hearts, craving a familiar warmth they struggled to replace. What once caused pain now offers clarity, and together they discover that peace of mind isn't the absence of conflict, but the presence of a love they finally know how to hold.

"I love yall both" KV x KG x Fem OC

In the chaotic streets of Chicago, where trust is rare and loyalty is everything, lives intertwine in ways that blur the lines between love, friendship, and betrayal. Melie, a fiercely independent young woman, finds herself at the center of a storm she never saw coming. But what happens when King Von, a man who live in the shadows of the streets, can't stay away from her? It all starts with tension Melie and Von clash from the moment they meet. From explosive confrontations to secret studio sessions and wild nights at the club, tensions rise, and alliances are tested... In a world where love is dangerous and trust is a luxury, will these characters find a way to make it or will the streets claim them all?
