You Still Messin’ With What’s His Name?

Jelissa thought Caleb was her forever, but love with him came at a steep price. Holding him down through his cheating, drama with other women, and obsession with power has left her broken. When his blatant disrespect shatters her heart one last time, Jelissa walks away—determined to reclaim her life. But before she can truly move on, she discovers she’s carrying his child.

Determined not to become just another baby mama to a so-called unhinged street boss, Jelissa crosses paths with Iyon, a man who offers everything Caleb couldn’t. Wealthy, attentive, and deeply passionate, Iyon promises her the love and stability she deserves. But his devotion hides a darker side, one that blurs the line between protection and possession. Is Iyon the blessing Jelissa prayed for, or just another storm in disguise?

Meanwhile, Caleb refuses to let go. Torn between his street life and the family he’s losing, he’s drawn into an unexpected connection with Maliyah Hayes, a project developer with ties that could solidify his empire—or destroy it. When Maliyah ends up pregnant, loyalties are tested, and every choice becomes a gamble.

As love, betrayal, and second chances collide, Jelissa must decide: will she rewrite her story, or let the men in her life dictate her future?
