Prologue

        We were born and raised in Harlem New York just regular girls with Big Dreams to get out the hood to live good. But everybody knows that's not how things how go. So, here's a little look into our story. Born on July 10,1994 at 4:34pm and 4:36pm we were born Amiyah Jessica Wilson & Amira Tiffany Wilson. We weren't born in the hospital though, we  were born right in the back room of our apartment. My mother always said since it was the hottest day we were going to be trouble. She called us double trouble ever since we were babies. Our family was great we had a mom that work to make sure we were good and a dad who made sure we wanted for nothing. We were our parents only kids so we always had everything and more. Our mother was RN and my father Vise President of a Wall Street company but he always has his little side hustle. He was one of those undercover drug lords or as the street would say he was a King Pin. But of course, this came with problems everybody hated him because he was book and street smart ,he also had the baddest bitch on the block, beautiful daughters and the money. Until one-day competition got real it was people trying to take our father life. They were doing anything it took to get his spot. Then it got real as somebody shooting him. I can remember it like it was yesterday it was our 7th Birthday Dinner July 10th, 2001. We were at Delfrisco's on 1221 6th Avenue with our close family. We were having a good and then it all happened these men came in the restaurant and shot our father and we thought it was all over. Police everywhere , ambulance took our father. Mom was talking to the police officers telling them what had happened. Ambulance took our dad away fast so knew nobody what was going on with him. Mom just finished with the officers and it was time to go. Driving to the hospital in silence none us of knew what to think. We pulled up to Mount Sinai and our mom told our grandma to keep us in the car until she can find out what's going on. We waited in the car for what seemed like forever. Finally, our mom came out and got us we walked until we got to a room with all these machines hooked to our dad. One nurse come in and said that everything looked fine and the doctor will be right back to tell her what are the options are, ten minutes later a doctor came in said that he is in a coma and he don't know how long it will be to he wakes up. Mom just started crying grandma was holding her saying that he is a strong man and will wake up very soon. Grandma took us to get some snacks and to sit us down in the waiting room. While we are waiting Amiyah, overheard mommy telling grandma that she is thinking about sending us away. We immediately started crying we didn't want to be away and most of all we didn't want to get separated. A few weeks gone by and they removed him off the machines. He has been doing much better and he is up and talking. Mom have been screaming for us to get ready for about 20 min now, so finally me and Miyah walked down the stairs. Grandma is in the kitchen packing lunch and mom is on the phone with dad saying that we are on our way. We are finally getting to see dad after that night everything went wrong. We get in the car to pull off mom tells us that dad has been doing much better and so happy to be seeing us. Walking down the hall but this time to a different room with big ass guards standing in front the door. Dad is there sitting on the bed as we walked in he gets up to us, mom yells at him to sit down he brushes her off. He gives us one of the biggest hugs and tell us how beautiful we are, but we get interrupted by his cell phone ringing. But of course, he has been down for a few weeks he got to get back in business as usual. As we are sitting there I'm (Amira) is listening and he is trying to find out who set up that hit to have him killed in front his family, of course he had his right-hand man Black on the case. Dad hang up the phone and told us to come here but this time he had a serious look on his face, but we never seen this look before. He said," Sit down I have something serious to talk about. "
