14 parts Ongoing He didn't ask for her heart. He studied it... then took it like it already belonged to him😈😈....
Ziya Foyce doesn't chase men. She paints, she hides, and she protects her peace like it's sacred. In a town full of loud cousins, nosy neighbors, and old drama that refuses to die, she minds her business and lets the world spin without her.
Then Nahlej Cordeaux steps in.
He isn't ordinary. He's pressure in human form-a hood philosopher with a past carved into his skin and a stare that makes you forget every promise you made to yourself. From the moment he sees Ziya, it's done. He doesn't flirt; he studies. He circles. He claims. And once he locks in, he doesn't let go.
Ziya promised herself she'd never fall for a man who could break her.
Nahlej promised that if he touched her once, she'd never leave.
What starts as a glance turns into a pull she can't shake. Between sharp-tongued best friends, family chaos, and chemistry that refuses to quiet down, their story unfolds reckless, obsessive, and addictive.
He isn't the villain. He's just unhinged enough to make love feel dangerous in all the right ways.
This isn't a fairytale. It's grown, messy, Southern hood love.
The kind that lingers. The kind that claims. The kind you don't forget.
🔥 Only If You Stay is a Southern Black romance about a love that doesn't ask-it takes.
