"Opposites attract, often because they mirror each other in secret ways." Nayeli Travers has never had control. Forced to give away her mind and her body after being taken to New Mexico for child trafficking, she has never been able to live for herself. Raised by the system until the age of twelve every choice, action, and thought was never her own. That is until she reclaims her freedom at a deadly cost. With a new idenity, she now lives under high viligance, completely anxiety-ridden over the mere thought of ever being captured again. Her form of coping is drowning herself distractions and work. A mask to cover a false sense of something she still has yet to claim. Control. Everything shifts when her roomate convinces her to work alongside with her as a maid at The Donatello Manor. That's where she meets the notorious Taige Donatello. Brought up by his easy going grandparents and distant business parents that just threw money at him whenever he needed them, freedom was all he ever knew. Taige lived a life of street racing, reckless decisions, and non-stop partying, but beneath the flash and facade, Taige was fighting an internal battle with himself. Years of criticism from his pessimistic father left him constantly trying to prove himself, and earn his father's validation until he couldn't anymore. With no guidance or stability, he didn't know who he was. So he chased anything that made him feel alive to avoid the emptiness he couldn't face. As their worlds intertwine, Taige's fascination with Nayeli deepens. To him, her silence speaks in ways words never could but for her, it's both shield and scar. She aches to trust again, yet the echoes of her past hold her back. Still, his persistence softens her guarded edges and in him, she sees a familiar emptiness that doesn't seek to be fixed, but simply understood. Two restless souls, bound by the illusion of control find in each other the space to heal, to learn, and to gradually become whole together.

He's her brother's right hand. She's the peace he didn't know he needed. Jameria Cox stays out the way. Soft spoken and about her business, she co-owns one of the top salons in East Harlem and avoids the street life her twin brother Jamontae (aka JayMo) is deep in. Aycen "Ace" Monroe is JayMo's most trusted soldier. Quiet, loyal, and raised by the code, he keeps to himself until one night, he crosses paths with a girl too calm for a city this loud. She doesn't know who he really is. He doesn't realize she's off limits. What starts as a simple connection spirals into something deeper .

[ 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐄 ] " Roxine," she whispered breathily. I grinned softly, " Yes?, Do you have something to say, Miss Rhoades." I traced my nose up her jaw jawline. " You're too close," her hands rested on my cold chest. " First rule of caregiving, you must be closer to your patients, correct me if I'm wrong, Miss Rhoades" Lana Rhoades chose to work as caregiver in other to save money for college. When she's assigned her first job, at the luxurious Campbello Mansion, she expected a wrinkled up sweet old man, only to be welcomed to care for Roxine Campbello, a fifty years man whose temper penetrates the roof. It's not like Lana's runny mouth was gonna keep shut about it.

Would you save me if i was drowning?
