Nightlife Series - (Short Story) Mia's a stripper trying to make rent and outrun her past. Justice is a divorced bank manager who stopped believing in second chances. A lap dance turns into late-night talks, and suddenly they're in deeper than either of them planned. But when pressure hits and one lie cracks the trust between them, both women have to choose: heal for real... or let it all burn.

From strangers to soulmates, their love story was never planned-it unfolded naturally, like destiny on autopilot. They started as friends, no pressure, no expectations... just two hearts slowly learning each other's rhythm. What began as casual turned cosmic, pulling them into a bond so deep, not even time could shake it. Years later, they're building a life with beautiful children and a love that's still unbreakable. This wasn't a fairytale. It was real. Messy. Magical. And worth every moment.

Toni's marriage is crumbling under the weight of her one-sided effort. While her husband disappears on endless business trips, she's left to hold the relationship together - alone. Overwhelmed and emotionally exhausted, she finds an unexpected distraction in Janet, a captivating and persistent new presence in her life. Janet seems to have it all - a thriving career, two loving girlfriends, and a life that looks perfect on the surface. But something is missing. And when she meets Toni, she realizes it's not just a spark - it's everything she's been searching for. Choosing Toni means rewriting the rules of her carefully balanced world, and that decision comes with consequences neither of them saw coming. In a world where love, loyalty, and secrets collide, everyone's fate is resting in someone else's hands.
