Ashanti thought life would finally calm down once Aurora was born and love sealed her bond with Chris. But marriage doesn't come with a fairytale filter-especially when the spotlight never dims. Between tours, tabloids, and whispers from the past, their picture-perfect world starts to crack.
When a devastating mistake threatens to shatter their trust, Ashanti finds herself standing at a crossroads: fight for the man she loves, or protect her heart at all costs. Meanwhile, Chris is forced to face his demons and prove that his love isn't just words-it's action, sacrifice, and everything in between.
As storms rage around them, secrets unravel, temptations test their limits, and family becomes their anchor. Can Ashanti and Chris weather the chaos together, or will this be the battle that finally breaks them apart?
Love gave them Aurora. Now, love has to carry them through the storm.
In a city where love gets you killed, he chose her anyway.
Silas rules the South Bronx-feared, untouchable, and built from pain. No one crosses him. No one gets close. That is, until Leilani.
She's soft where he's sharp. Quiet where he's loud. Light in the middle of everything he's tried to bury. She wasn't supposed to matter. But when the streets pull her into the dark, Silas finds himself breaking his own rules to keep her close.
They say he don't save nobody.
But for her? He just might start a war.
A short story about loyalty, trauma, survival, and a love that defies the city it was born in.
