Southside Hearts
Dayvon always told himself he'd never let anyone get close enough to break him-until Joni. As the mother of his child, she knows every version of him: the man the streets respect, the father trying to do right, and the one who still can't hide how deeply her lies cut. No matter how much money he makes or how successful he becomes, nothing compares to the pain of watching the woman he loves push him away.
She thinks he's hard enough to handle it, but every broken promise leaves another scar. Still, when life knocks her down, he's the first one ready to pick her back up. Whether it's paying a bill, protecting her, or showing up when no one else will, he'll always make sure she's okay-even if she no longer chooses him.
Now they're stuck between love, resentment, and the family they created together, trying to figure out if some relationships are worth saving... or if some wounds are too deep to heal.
