At only 22, Ka'Maiya Gilyard had everything ahead of her. She was enrolled in UCLA double majoring in dance and psychology. Not only that, she was married to the man of her dreams. They'd been best friends since grade school, dating since middle school, and he proposed at their high school graduation - in front of everyone - even the principal was in on it. It was what she thought was the best day of her life until they had their June wedding in the Dominican Republic - her parents nor his parents paid for anything - it was all Treyvian.

Treyvian was a simple man, his life revolved around money, power, respect, family, and Maiya. Everything he did, he made sure his family and Maiya's family was good. He'd graduate high school for his mom and Maiya, but school wasn't his strong suit - he knew that. Which is why he accepted his dad's offer to run the cartel when he was 16, of course he told Maiya and they almost broke up for it. He'd convinced her she wouldn't lose him to the streets, she convinced him to teach her how to be what he needed her to be; they'd convince each other that their bond wouldn't be broken.

So what happens when 3 years into their marriage, Treyvian goes down for a 5 to 10 bid? What happens when Ta'Miya is expected to run her husband's empire, keep up with school and hold her man down through the slander? Read to find out.
