"Tell me you don't feel it. Tell me I'm imagining this, and I'll never bring it up again." He looked at her for a long moment, and she could see him fighting himself. "I can't tell you that," he said finally. "Why not?" "Because it would be a lie." -- Naomi "Nay" Shields is a 24-year-old lifestyle YouTuber with over a million followers, known for her beauty, travel vlogs, and "perfect" relationship with longtime boyfriend Messiah "Si" Banks. On camera, they're couple goals. Off camera, she's just surviving him. Messiah is a flashy, manipulative drug dealer in Atlanta-respected in the streets, but emotionally abusive behind closed doors. After cheating multiple times, he traps Nay further with a viral public proposal in Tulum. Now, she feels stuck-scared to leave the brand they built and scared of him. But everything shifts when Messiah's older half-brother, Zyair "Zy" Banks, returns home from a four-year federal bid. He's the opposite of Messiah-quiet, gritty, observant. And he sees right through Nay's pain. When Messiah gets shot in a setup and ends up bedridden, Zy moves in to "keep things in order." As tension brews and the house grows quiet, stolen glances turn into whispers... into touches... into something neither of them planned. What happens when love grows in the shadow of abuse? When the one man who sees you is the one you should never want? And what happens when Messiah finds out? 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝- 06.28.25 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝- 07.09.25 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝- 08.20.25

***UNDERGOING RECONSTRUCTION*** WILL BE ON HOLD UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!!!! Empress Black shell was hard and well built while her heart was quite the opposite. She never celebrated her birthdays since her mother's death. Intentionally on that day, she overworks herself but what happens when a certain lawyer pops up at her work on her twenty-first birthday.

Will she run and hide? Or will she allow for her walls to be broken down? Sneak Peek...... Seeing how bright it was it hadn't taken her long to notice that it was a full moon out tonight. Tempted to go on her balcony...That she did, curious to see the moon and possibly to peak at King's house. She hesitantly made her way over to the balcony. It was quiet now, with no sound of music and no sign of persons in his yard. Seems as though he had ended his party. Looking up at the moon with her dark brown eyes she couldn't help but feel a pair of eyes on her. Empress turned herself to where King's house was before spotting a man figure on the balcony. Narrowing her eyes to focus her vision she gulped as her dark brown eyes took in the glory. There he was Jong-Woo butt-ass naked standing on his balcony drinking a glass of scotch. "Holy shi-" She mouthed as her eyes met with Jong-Woo's lower half. Is that a fucking third leg?! Jong-Woo smiled raising his glass towards Empress as his eyes stared at her chest in desire. To involved in King's nudeness, Empress hadn't noticed that her robe had gotten loose. Leaving her plump breasts out on display. And damn, were her nipples hard.

I wanted her the first moment I saw her. I was only eight, but my heart's been set on her ever since. I don't know what to call my fixation on her, I don't know if it's just lust. I don't know if it's pure infatuation, or even love. But whatever it is, it's strong. It's unconditional...it's unrefined...but it's unrequited... It's unlawful. And still, no one could convince me that she isn't the one. She is the one. She's the only one. I wanted Aubree. I had to have her, but I had to wait. There's always been a wedge between us. A thick line that's never meant to be crossed. But sometime after my eighteenth birthday I took the first step over it. Nothing between us now-except for the guilt over seducing my best friend's mom. *This book contains some taboo elements, sex, and strong language and is intended for mature readers*
