To the world, Sariyah Love Gaulden lives a life women dream of. Married to global rap icon Kentrell Gaulden, wrapped in luxury, fame, and flashing cameras-her smile is plastered across blogs and headlines as proof of a perfect marriage. Together, they share a daughter, the one light in a life carefully controlled.
But behind closed doors, Sariyah's reality is far from perfect.
Trapped in a marriage built on fear, silence, and power, she learns how to survive quietly-how to hide bruises beneath designer sleeves and pain behind practiced smiles. No one knows. No one suspects. And no one would believe her if she spoke.
Until Amazi Sekani Bennett.
Homeless, guarded, and carrying scars of his own, Amazi lives unseen by the same world that worships Sariyah's husband. When their paths cross by chance, neither knows who the other truly is-only that something familiar lives in the hurt they both carry. What begins as brief conversations turns into something dangerous: understanding.
In a world where love is monitored, truth is forbidden, and escape feels impossible, Sariyah must choose between the life she's trapped in and the one she never thought she deserved.
Because sometimes the most life-changing love comes from the place you least expect-and costs you everything.
