CHAPTER I

Growing up , Kalani and her 6 brothers and sisters always had the best of everything. With her dad being Micheal " Big Mike " Womack , the head of one of the largest cartels in Brooklyn , there was nothing in this world she couldn't have. At just 17 , there was just one month before her senior year of highschool and she had hopes of maintaining her 4.2 gpa and getting into John Jay , one if the best law schools around. Will she continue to live the high life or will all good things come to a terrible end ?

BEEP!

BEEP!

BEEP!

Letting out a loud sigh of frustration, Kalani quickly slammed the button on her alarm clock. Looking at the clock she realized the time read 11:05. " Another day , another dollar " she says while getting up from her king sized bed.

Even though she didn't need to , she began working at 15 at a Foot Locker in a mall not far from her best friend Matikaah's house. With an hour and a half left before get shift started , she layed her uniform on her bed and took her shower. As she finished getting dressed she decided to let her naturally curly hair run wild for the day as she slipped into her Jordan Taxi's. with 45 minutes to spare.

"Hey ma" she said as she walked into her kitchen grabbing her breakfast.

"Where's dad"

" Living room , meeting with the guys" her mom said pointed towards the walkway.

She let out a sigh as she finished her food and grabbed the keys to her 2013 white and silver Range Rover she received as a Sweet 16 gift last year.

" I'm out dad !" she yelled walking past her living room, which she thought was extremely over sized , seeing as the had two of them.

"Bye baby girl , have a good day " he yelled

"mhhmmm" she replied

She started her car , backed out of her drive way and was on her way.

Since there was only a month before school started , Roosevelt Feild Mall , where she worked was flooded with people from Long Island and the Burroughs trying to prepare their wardrobes for the upcoming school year.

" Hey , welcome to Foot Locker, do you need any help ?"

She said as a customer entered the store. Of course , Kalani thought this was just another customer . But her co-worker and one of her closest friends , Taja , thought he would be a perfect match for Kae. He was tall --about 6'4 --light skinned , tattoos covered his arms , and his hazel eyes had caught her attention as she stared at him , making her way up to his face.

" uhhh Hello" he said snapping his fingers.

"ohh-- uhm-- I uh "

She stumbled over her words as her cheeks got red with embarrassment . She didn't even notice she was staring.

" size 12 " he said while smirking and handing her the sneaker.

As she walked to the back of the store she gave her self a light tap on the face and Taja gave her a sarcastic thumbs up. As she returned , he gave her a huge smile , showing his perfect teeth and said " Thanks beautiful , but you should probably work on that staring problem "

They shared a laugh. " Thanks , I know -- uhm , wait -- I didn't mean .."

" It's okay baby girl , I know what you meant "

His words and his deep , raspy voice made her swoon.

After 20 minutes and 6 boxes of shoes later , her arrived at the checkout.

"959.70 is your total "

As she said that he pulled out a large wad of cash from his pocket , and began sitting 10 , 100 dollar bills on the counter . She looked at his hands , noticing his tattoo of Roman numerals on one of his fingers.

" You doing that staring thing again ma"

"oh shit" she thought to her self .

"oh uh -- sorry -- I was-- I uhh -- I zone out a lot " she said blushing.

" it's okay , I'm King " he said smirking once again.

She assumed he had given her his street name. With that being said, she knew what he did for a living.

" You gonna give me ya name or do I have to work for it ? "

" work for it " she replied with a smile " 40.30 is your change , have a nice day " she said as she handed him his bags

Just like that , exited the store, but not before flashing her a smile and a wink of course.

" This is gonna be a long day " she said only for her ears to hear.
