The Mistress

Kairi never wanted to be a wife.
She wanted to be chosen....over and over again.

Behind the gates of luxury estates, private jets, and hush money silence lives Kairi, the woman Kentrell runs to when the fame gets heavy and the marriage feels empty. She's sharp, tongued, unapologetically toxic, and dangerously addictive, everything his polished image and perfect wife aren't allowed to be. With Kairi, Kentrell breathes. With Jazlyn, he performs.

Jazlyn has the ring, the children, the last name, and the unspoken understanding that her husband will never be faithful. She plays her role flawlessly, maintaining the image of a loyal wife beside one of the most famous rappers in the world. In return, she gets security, status, and silence.

Kairi gets everything else.

Designer bags dropped off without questions. Late, night calls that never go unanswered. Hotel keys, overseas trips, and the kind of love that exists only in the shadows. She knows she'll never be Mrs. Gaulden and she doesn't want to be. She loves the lifestyle, the chaos, and the version of him that only shows up for her.

But lines blur when feelings deepen, jealousy creeps in, and power starts to shift. As Kentrell's career grows and the pressure tightens, the balance between wife and mistress becomes fragile. Secrets pile up, emotions turn reckless, and one wrong move could cost everyone everything.

Because in this game, nobody's innocent....and being the mistress doesn't mean you're the one with the least to lose
