That Bag

Denisha couldn't believe how quickly things had changed. Just a few months ago, she was barely keeping her head above water, working her shifts at the Sheriff's Department and damn near living paycheck to paycheck. But now? Things were different. She had a whole new hustle, thanks to Dwayne.

Running errands for him wasn't just about picking up prepaid phones or dropping off packages anymore. It had turned into something bigger. Denisha had become his go-to for handling money, managing his little empire while he was locked up. And the benefits? They were starting to roll in.

Denisha had always been smart, but now she was learning the game from the inside. Dwayne had connections everywhere, and she was the one holding it down on the outside. Trips to Georgia were becoming a regular thing-she'd drop off packages through FedEx, UPS, whatever was the safest route. The payoffs were getting bigger, and she was seeing a side of the hustle she never thought she'd be involved in.

With Dwayne's money flowing in, Denisha finally had the confidence to enroll in school. She figured if she was going to be handling stacks like this, she needed to know how to invest it right. Between her paydays from the Sheriff's Department and the side money Dwayne was sending her way, Denisha was making more than she ever had in her life. The streets were quiet, her pockets were heavy, and for the first time in a long time, she felt like she was in control.

But it wasn't just about the money-it was the power. Knowing she was the one Dwayne trusted to handle everything made her feel important, like she had a purpose beyond the daily grind of work. She was making moves, building something for herself, and she wasn't just a correctional officer anymore. She was his partner.

On one of her trips to Georgia, she couldn't help but smile as she drove back, thinking about how far she'd come. She had a bag full of cash in the trunk and a plan. She was using some of it to invest, flipping Dwayne's money between shipments, and keeping the rest stashed away for when she really needed it. She had even started saving up for a home, something nice, far from the chaos of her old neighborhood.

Denisha knew this was risky, but the rush was addicting. The thrill of making moves behind the scenes, of being Dwayne's go-to, had her feeling like she was on top of the world. She wasn't just some chic running errands-she was managing money, handling business, and making a name for herself.

And with each trip, each delivery, that bag got heavier, and so did her confidence. Denisha was leveling up, and she wasn't about to slow down anytime soon.
