My Love For a DrugLord: Love, Drugs, and Betrayal

Chapter 1: Nina

Money, money, money...Why couldn't it just fall from the sky onto the ground, well into my hands actually? I really hate this, money was so hard to earn; especially growing up as a child. My father Thomas Harris, was well known as a bus driver ever since he was 22 in college. It didn't work out for him as he thought, he wanted to be a constructor but he forgot to take that one class, which ended him up being a bus driver for the rest of his life. He then met my wonderful mother Marie Jones.

Marie Jones was a strong woman, she studied Psychology and passed it like that. She loved reading and writing and wanted to pursue more of her goals. She went out and sent out four of her works to six different companies but got rejected by all of them. At the end, she ended up pregnant by my father, so she became a housewife. But more and more problems occurred when my mom started being addicted to drugs: cocaine, weed, and other illegal drugs. My father and my aunt tried to stop her but she refused because she didn't receive her dreams. I was afraid that my father was going to leave us, but he stayed because he loved us dearly.

As for me, I had a huge responsibility for my family, to able graduate high school and complete college...Did I, though? Of course, well for the high school part. After high school, I went to two-year community college, I was going to transfer to Louisiana University, but their tuition was way too high and I wasn't able to afford it. I really wanted to go back and finish my last two years of college, open my own cosmetic products business, and help out my brother. Instead, I had to go become a bartender during the day and a stripper at night at a club called "The Sexy K.J's", but only private dances, I couldn't risk myself going up on stage and not know how to do any tricks on that tall, skinny pole.

I earned a few amount of money from the club, enough to pay the bills and give to my little brother every here and then. Was it enough to open my own business? Um, no. I don't know what else to do, if I go on stage, I know, I would be making twice the money than these private dances, but I don't know how to dance...At all. My boyfriend of three years, Kent Knight was a top drug dealer in Atlanta and he earned three times the money than me. He told me that I can go to him for money, but in the back of my mind, I just couldn't. I'll do whatever it takes to open my business and help out my brother.

I was in my apartment, cleaning to keep up my boredness until then I heard a knock on my door. I went to open it, saw short, light skin Leeyana, looking beautiful as ever with two bags from Denny's. "Hey bitch!" she walked in and showed those perfect straight teeth.

"Hey, what's up?" I closed the door.

"No, what was up with you doing tonight?" she asked me back.

"Uhh?" I looked up to see what the hell I am doing tonight...Oh right, nothing.

"Seriously girl?" she joked as she laughed. What's so funny? "Anyways, tonight was a big night for you and me, missy. You know "my man" birthday was today and he's having an all white birthday party tonight!" Lee explained and I went in surprised.

"Wait. Who was your man again?" I informed her.

"Oh my gosh, Nina. Ke'Jerome Knight the third? Seriously? The drug lord all over three states?" she tried to reminded me but I just shrugged. "Girl, he owns the strip club, "The Sexy K.J's"? Your job?" she reminded me more and I went shocked.

"Really?! He's in charge of the club?! I didn't know!" I screamed out.

"Yeah! He owns that whole entire club and strippers, plus you," Lee pointed to my chest and I shook my head.

"Wow, I am so late," I said as she nodded her head.

"No duh, anyways, so tonight we have to look the bomb...I mean bad bitches up in there because these sluts don't play...My fucking gosh, Nina...Why can't Ke'Jerome just be with me?" Lee asked me and I looked around.
