    About this series

    "Trust. Can't live with it. Can't live without it. Trust is something that is gained over time. It is something that we rely on. We expect people to be truthful, so that we can trust them. But, when that trust is broken-it's hard as hell to get back."

    Coco is done battling her demons. All she wants is to forget her childhood, but how will she be able to do that if she hasn't gotten to the root of the problem-her mother. She knows it'll take Jesus himself to come down here and fix that problem. So, she decides to finally take a chance on Damien, but when her sister goes missing, it's an awakening that she-nor he, saw coming.

    Imani doesn't realize she must change her ways for Kane to take her serious. She feels he should want her regardless, but a relationship takes full commitment from both parties. Are they willing to put in the work? When she gets what she asked for, is it too much to handle? Is Kane the love of her life? Can he fully satisfy her in every way?

    Asha and Samson finally get it together. Or do they? Time is of the essence, and Asha doesn't play with her time. Hell, she hates waiting even a second for her friends. What makes Samson so special? Asha gives Samson an ultimatum. The question is-what does Samson want?

    The last time we saw Gia, she was looking up at Malikhi's fist. Will Gia survive the wrath of Malikhi? Or will everyone-including Achelous, say goodbye to Gia forever.

    Read and find out as these ladies learn and teach each other how to overcome an Awakening Tragedy.

      Asha is just a regular woman with many talents. Whether it be in the bedroom or on the dance stage, she was guaranteed to make it worth your while. She finally comes to the realization that a relationship is what she wants most, but as she learned from a young age, everyone doesn't deserve her love or trust. Coco is too busy raising her little sister and focusing on her career to enjoy the fruits of her labor. Her friends try to get her to enjoy life more, but she's carrying a secret that leaves her guarded...until "HE" bumps into her. Enter Damien Dynasty, he's everything she needs to stay away from, but shouldn't. Imani lives to be a spoiled rich princess. She has no job, just her dead daddy's money. She expects every man in her life to take care of her, but will they? When her mom gives her an ultimatum she has no choice but to get herself together. Gia had a tough childhood and even tougher adulthood. From foster homes to bandages and rubbing alcohol she definitely knows the struggle of life. Gia just wanted to be loved by the wrong man for the right reasons. Love is definitely blind in this case. Come along and follow these four friends as they deal with family secrets, love, and tragedy. The Pain of Love never felt so good. **CLIFF HANGER**

      Coco, Asha, Gia, and Imani are back!!   Coco Is still battling her own secrets, along with fighting feelings she's starting to develop for Damien. On top of that, she's struggling with the fact that Isis has left her to be with their neglectful mama. Will she hold on to her sanity or are the nightmares too much.   Meet Isis, she's a little firecracker. She's been under her big sister's wings way too long and she's finally ready to spread her own. Her sister hates the fact that their mama leaves her alone most of the time, but she loves the freedom, and when you're young and naïve your eyes aren't open to the danger lurking.   Asha has worked so hard to get where she is today. To the outside looking in, she has it all. Beauty, brains, talent, and health. Little do they know, she's missing the one thing she always wanted but letting her pride be the reason she doesn't have it.   Imani is still the same promiscuous woman that has no boundaries. She's in for a rude awakening when she doesn't get what she wants. Control is something she feeds off of, but when you lose it, what do you have.   Gia, the woman we all fell in love with has secrets of her own. Just when things are going great for her they get worse. Will she triumph or will her secrets be too much to handle.   These four friends aren't going to know what hit them when secrets are unleashed.
