It's Always Been Her: Standalone

Chauncey Benyeir built his empire on loyalty, lust, leverage, and strategic boss moves. In the streets, he's untouchable-a certified boss with bricks by the boatload, paper stacked to the ceiling, and women at his disposal. But outside the streets? His marriage is in shambles, and his judgment is slipping fast.
Rhyan Benyeir loved Chauncey more than she loved herself. She walked away without warning-left the mansion, the designer labels, and the luxury lifestyle-and took her silence, her pain, and her name with her. Not because she stopped loving him, but because love wasn't enough to save her from the man he refused to stop being.
Now, with Rhy gone, Chauncey's been spiraling-balling out of control, stacking millions, making mistakes he swore he would never make. One pull-up turns into the worst decision of his life. What starts as an intense argument with the wrong woman ends in a violent ambush, leaving Chauncey bleeding out, outnumbered, and questioning everything-including the legacy he built.
As the bullets fly and the streets flood with smoke, only one name rings in his head:
Rhyan.
Chauncey hopes he lives long enough to make things right with Rhyan. Peace doesn't last forever-not when his heart is still tied to the streets and chaos.
