Loving Jasiah had been like standing too close to a fire-warm at first, until the flames started to reach for her throat. When the law finally took him, she mourned him like someone dead, convinced that whatever they once shared was too dangerous to ever be resurrected. To save herself, she didn't just leave him behind-she buried the love entirely, believing some things had to be killed before they killed you. In the years that followed, Iris rebuilt. She built a life that was quiet, more structured, & way more safe with her husband & two growing children. A life where Jasiah Syncere Brown existed only in court records & steel bars. Prison was supposed to be a long sentence, guaranteed that the past would stay where it belonged. But the past didn't stay buried. Jasiah returned home years earlier than anyone expected, his arrival shattering the order Iris painstakingly built. But he didn't come back kind-he came back ruthless, upending everything in his path. Old wounds ripped open, & the man she once loved, the man she hated, the man she never truly escaped, was suddenly real again, standing back in the same city, back breathing the same air.

𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐃 : Haile and Kaiden's love story was one that would often appeared in her nightmares, it was one that allowed love and hatred to coexist, where resentment seemed to become routine until there was no escaping but it was also something that Haile couldn't stir away from. She was only twenty years old when she was forced to leave Kaiden behind but after five years and a trip granted from the universe, she slipped into his grasp and fell victim to love once more; attempting to give their relationship another try. "Growing up.. I've heard that grief is the final act of love. If I have to grieve you for the rest of my life, Haile, I'm prepared."

Elijah Langley never expected life to feel like this. The emptiness. The pressure to stay afloat. The kind of exhaustion that sinks into your bones. He's fading quietly, privately. And lately, letting go feels like the only breath of relief he might ever get. Until something intervenes. Not luck. Not coincidence. A presence. Unseen, but impossibly precise. It redirects him at the exact second he's about to break. It protects him from disasters he never even notices forming. It whispers in ways he can feel, but could never explain. Whatever this presence is, it refuses to let him disappear. It has been sent for him. And it is leading him-slowly, forcefully-back toward Grace. Started: 11/11/25 Ended:

It's wrong, but it's right and I love it.
