Love & Residue
Arielle thought being Dre's girl meant security. Designer bags, nights out, the illusion of safety. But behind the Instagram smiles was a different truth: late nights bagging up, hiding money in floorboards, and hands that never came clean no matter how hard she scrubbed. She wasn't a partner in Dre's world-just another piece of property.
When her best friend Mya plants the seed that she could make her own moves, Arielle dares to imagine life outside of Dre's shadow. One small flip turns into a taste of power she can't shake. But with power comes enemies, temptation, and choices that stain deeper than powder on her skin.
As Arielle builds her own lane, she finds herself caught between love and survival. Dre won't let go without a fight. Kane, a rival dealer, sees in her more than Dre ever did-but his loyalty might be just another hustle. Friendships get tested, hearts get broken, and the streets remind her that freedom always comes at a cost.
Love & Residue is a gritty urban tale of ambition, betrayal, and desire. It's about a woman who learns the hardest truth of the game: you can wash the money, hide the evidence, and bury the bodies, but some stains never fade.
