Since

• 20 •

"Happy birthday to you! happy birthday to you! happy 20th birthday my dear Sainty" Alana sung through FaceTime to her son. She watched as he blew out his candles. His employees in the shop dapped him up in celebration.

It had been two years since Saint's drug addiction. That day Alana kicked him out he went to his grandma's house where she welcomed him in and offered him a place to stay. Ms Anisha called Alana and got on her daughter's ass for abandoning her son in such a vulnerable state.

Alana came to her senses and realised in order for her son to get better she needed to be there for him by his side, so that's what she did. Alana, Grandma Nini, Aunt Mic, Uncle Slim and Uncle Ant all helped to get Saint back on his feet. It took eight months for him to stay clean, he eventually went back to smoking weed but he now avoids all other drugs at all cost, he was honestly doing great.

He managed to go back to school, graduated under a year and opened up barber shop with the money Sincere kept for him.

Sincere apologised straight up to Lana days after the whole incident, so did Alana. Saint always valued that in his parents, no matter their differences, even if Sincere was right or wrong, he always apologised for whatever first. He valued the love he saw his father carry for his mom. He wanted that but to him that was years away.

He currently wasn't repeating history in terms of finding young love like his parents and grandparents. He was a ladies man, but his head hadn't been swayed. He was all about his business and making money, a trait his father undeniably passed down onto him.

Alana just wanted a daughter in law to girl spend time with, Sincere assured its Saint's timing not hers. Neither of them would've thought Saint's timing would come sooner than anticipated.

In a story full of disaster, misfortune and bloodshed! there is blindfolded, everlasting, limitless love at its centre.

Neither of the two in love knew it'd get this deep; but with all their misfortune, they were fortunate to have one another, read along...Book 2 out now!
