Upon arriving in New York City, escaping her nightmarish hell, Aaliyah Victors reinvents herself after learning about her mysterious past to pursue her lifelong dream as a musical performer and take the entire world by storm. However, getting into the limelight is not as easy as she had first hoped.
Between having almost no money, no place to live, and no one to turn to in a brand new city, Aaliyah found herself basically stranded and hopeless until Malcolm Waters, a big-time producer for one of the biggest record labels in the world, Soul Fusion, took her in and gave her hope that maybe things won't turn out so bad.
Though nothing in this business comes easy, with the help and support of her newfound friends and her budding romance with her songwriting partner and multi-talented artist Xavier Adams, Aaliyah can fulfill her dream of becoming an adored performer that belongs in the limelight.

STORY ARE FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 𝗘𝗬𝗘𝗦 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝗢𝗡 𝗨𝗦... It's easy to love someone when things are perfect and everything's wonderful. But, to love someone when things are difficult, when they're not being perfect, when they're messing up, flaws are seen, mistakes are made...that's what really allow you to see how much love there is really. Anyone can love someone who doing and saying all the right things, being everything you want and need, when they're got it all together and it all figured it out. But, to love someone at their lowest, to love someone despite how broken they feel, when they're lost, when you're willing to stand by them no matter how challenging or difficult things may be, that kind of love is a lot more beautiful. That kind of love is a lot more meaningful. Thank you for loving me both times when things are good and bad, up and down. Thank you for taking in every aspect and part of me, accepting my flaws, forgiving my mistakes and helping me become the best version of me. 06/26/2021-02/19/2022 Rankings: #181 in black 9/16/2021 #2 in blackcharacters 9/16/2021 #570 in urban 9/16/2021 #20 in urbannovel 9/16/2021 #3 in blackstory 9/16/2021Complete
