Love, After

He said she meant everything.
Then left like she meant nothing.

Arianna gave Akeem her heart in Missouri - deep talks, late nights, and a connection too real to fake. But the moment things got serious, he vanished... straight back to the ex he claimed he was done with.

Two years later, he's a rising NFL star in LA. And guess who ends up living in the same luxury complex? Yeah. Her. And as much as she tries to act unbothered, their history still simmers beneath every look, every silence, every what if.

So when he spins the block again, she lets him - only for him to fold all over again and run back to Naomi.

That was supposed to be the last time.
Until tragedy shatters everything.

Another year. Another city. Another chance? Maybe. But between broken trust, unfinished trauma, and timing that's never quite right... some love stories feel more like war zones.

And this one? Might leave them both in ruins.
