Starting new
Xayden Miles was seventeen, a senior with a perfect life that never felt like his own. Handsome, brilliant, admired—he was raised on South Harper Avenue by parents who treated excellence as law and choice as rebellion. His future was decided: medicine or law. No debate.

Beautiful, guarded, and worn down by life, Sanaa lived on South Cottage Grove Avenue, carrying the weight of abandonment, addiction, and a six-year-old brother she refused to leave behind. Fashion was her dream. Xayden was her refuge. When Sanaa became pregnant, Xayden’s parents issued an ultimatum: abortion and obedience—or exile. He chose love. Quietly, carefully, he prepared.
