This was my first book as I started and ended this book sometime in 2023-24. I edited a little, but not much so read at your own risk... Brianna takes Aiden hoodie off before going back to kissing him as he slides his hands under her tank top, cupping her breast making her kiss him harder. She then abruptly stops making Aiden snap his eyes open. "What?" He ask her as she cups his face looking him directly in his eyes. "I love you Aiden. Like seriously I really do." She says making him chuckle at how random she said it but when he looked back at her she seemed so very serious. "Come on Brianna, you know I'll love you always and forever," he said while kissing all over her face which made her laugh. "You're so corny." She playfully pushes his face away from hers making him laugh. "I'm serious. Like forever and ever and ever-" but she cuts him off as she rolls her eyes and kisses him again.

He gave her the world - then made her pay for it with her peace. Zariah Monroe came to Atlanta for a fresh start. New city. New salon. No love. After losing too much back in New York, all she wanted was quiet - just her, her little brother Dre, and her dream business, The Crown Room. But peace don't last long when your heart beats for chaos. Messiah Carter - or Mace Tha Don to the world - walked into her life with that New Orleans drawl, diamond chains, and the kind of energy that made every woman stare. He wasn't just a rapper; he was a storm. Passionate, jealous, and possessive - the type of man who'd buy you a car just to control where you go. What started as love turned into a power struggle - two souls too prideful to let go, too attached to walk away. Between Kendra's messy games, Mace's fame, and Zee's buried pain, their love became a battlefield where both kept losing pieces of themselves. And when betrayal, a secret pregnancy, and public humiliation push Zee past her breaking point, she learns that love might be free - but healing will cost everything.
