"I made the decision to cheat on my wife because I liked the way you made me feel vulnerable and comfortable enough to open up to you the night before it happened. I ain't never did shit like that before and that's what made it easy for me to choose to risk everything I got for you." "That shit probably not a big deal to you but a nigga like me ain't never opened up to nobody but my best friend-and still..that's rare. I hate even talking about her with you but I don't even feel comfortable talking to Ariana about my feelings 'cause I know she gon' judge me. You don't make me feel like that."

Revision of 2017 version When a business man with a troubled past and player ways meets a model, they're lives take a dramatic turn. Will these strangers be able to work together?

K'Ari is forced to move back to New York with her grandma after being kicked out by her mother and step father. She soon meets her neighbor, Dave.

She thought she understood love-until it destroyed her once and taught her never to trust easily again. After an eight-year relationship built on lies, she promised herself she would never ignore the signs, never ignore her instincts, and never let someone get close enough to break her the same way twice. Then he came into her life. A friend first. Familiar. Safe. The kind of connection that didn't feel like danger... until it did. When things between them begin to shift, feelings grow faster than she's ready for, and suddenly she's standing in unfamiliar territory-choosing between what her heart wants and what her past has taught her to fear. But when betrayal surfaces again-wrapped in confusion, alcohol, and accusations she doesn't fully believe-everything she thought was real starts to fracture. He says he was set up. She doesn't know what to believe. Now she's stuck between holding on to the only person who made her feel seen... or walking away before history repeats itself for the second time. Because this time, love doesn't feel like healing. It feels like something she should've never let herself fall into again. Gently Ruined is a story of trust, trauma, and the painful line between intuition and fear-where love feels real, but nothing feels safe enough to stay

DRAMA 😁

" Who are you? " he asks. Looking around the smoke filled room I answer as honestly as I could. " I don't know. " he smiles his sideways smirk and leans forward and whispers in my ear " Let me help you find out. "

A Dave East Love Story ❤️

It's just us, like it's always been.
