Ariana Fletcher & Dave East ....

Before the crowds screamed his name, before the league talks and the magazine covers, he met her. Calista Marchand. Not the kind of girl you run game on. She was sharp where it counted, soft only when she wanted to be. Real Brooklyn - pretty in the face, slick with the mouth, and solid with her hands if you stepped wrong. She kept her circle small, her loyalty tighter. The kind of woman who knew how to turn silence into safety and side-eyes into shut-ups. Men feared her. Girls tried to be her. She didn't chase, didn't fold, didn't need nobody. Until Ibrahim Montaigne walked into her life like he had all the time in the world. He didn't come with sweet nothings or flashy promises - just steady presence. Intent in his eyes, patience in his chest, and something rare behind the way he looked at her. Like he saw through the polish and the fire, like he knew the woman behind the defense. He didn't try to tame her. He studied her. Let her be exactly who she was. The shift was slow. She still fought when needed, still had a rep in the streets and in the salon chair. But somewhere between nursing exams and late-night block parties, she started saving parts of herself just for him. The quiet parts. The delicate ones. The ones nobody else got close to. And when she crossed that graduation stage, RN-BSN stitched behind her name and her grandmother crying in the crowd - he bragged harder than anyone. Didn't care who was listening. Forget MVP, forget the championship rings. She was the win. She was the headline. The girl from Brooklyn with spitfire in her lungs, gold in her smile, and a softness only he ever got to see. This isn't a story about being chosen. It's about choosing each other. No fairytales. Just Brooklyn grit and a love that never let go.

When Lena meets with her father during a big business meeting, things take a turn when her new job position turns into something....different.

Two people. Same struggle. Same streets. When their worlds collide, survival comes down to one question - do you save yourself, or the person standing next to you? In a place where morals get tested and loyalty's never guaranteed, what really defines you - your past, or your heart?

In Harlem, his name is etched into sidewalk whispers and alleyway legends-Pablo, the ghost who rose from fire. Once a forgotten foster kid bouncing between shelters and cells, Zachariah Mulatto forged his name in smoke and strategy. With a diamond-tipped smile and ice-cold eyes, Pablo doesn't just run blocks-he manipulates whole boroughs like a chessboard. But power this pure always comes with a curse. Behind the muscle cars, penthouse parties, and bulletproof bravado lies Zachariah-a man whose trauma speaks louder than his reputation. Years ago, a betrayal inside a Harlem group home left him for dead and erased the only family he ever knew. Now, he rules the city not for wealth, but for revenge... slowly, methodically, beautifully orchestrated. Then enters Neveah Brown-a Harlem-born artist and activist fresh from Paris, back home to heal her roots. She's all paint-stained fingers, political poetry, and defiant softness. She sees through Pablo's armor from day one-and calls him by his real name. She doesn't fear his ghosts. She just wants to know who they are. But Neveah's return isn't coincidence-it's part of a secret buried in Pablo's past. A secret tied to the night that made him a monster, and the truth about who really betrayed him. As enemies close in and Harlem's streets boil with blood and ambition, Zachariah finds himself at a brutal crossroads: protect his empire and finally take his revenge... or burn it all down for a chance at the love and peace he never thought he'd deserve. PABLO is a lyrical, high-stakes urban tragedy steeped in survival, romance, and identity-a love story tangled in hood politics, street justice, and the cost of healing when your past is the thing hunting you.

Nayeli is a 30-year-old single mother raising her spirited 7-year-old son, in her hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina. After enduring heartbreak from failed relationships, including the painful fallout with her son's father, Nayeli has sworn off the idea of romance. Instead, she pours herself into her career and focuses on being the best mom she can be. But life has a way of shifting even the most carefully laid plans. When news spreads that a mutual friend from Nayeli's close-knit circle has tragically passed away, old bonds are rekindled. Among those returning to town for the memorial is Shai Smith, a 36-year-old successful sports trainer who has spent years traveling for his career. Nayeli and Shai have known each other for over a decade, always sharing playful banter and harmless flirtation.

In the wake of loss, Shai stays in town longer than planned, reconnecting with old friends and reflecting on the fragility of life. As he and Nayeli cross paths more often, their once lighthearted interactions deepen. Despite the spark between them, both Shai and Nayeli carry the weight of past heartbreak.

"I'm a Nymphomaniac. I'm a sex addict.
