My works #12 //. Part One : All I've ever wanted was to be Accepted, rather by others close to me or even just my mom. Part Two : It's just some things in life that you have to learn to accept, whether it's disapproval from ones close to you, a person you thought you loved or a person you used to call a friend. • • • DiaTheLit™ ©2016 all copyrights reserved

"This was suppose to be easy, nobody was suppose to get hurt". Twenty year old Ivory Santana was what most people would call friendly and caring. She'd be the person you'd least expect to have a father running one of the biggest drug trafficking industry's in America. Ivory has went through great measures keeping that part of her life private while attending college at NYU, that is until she's taken. Twenty two year old Jade and his older brother Ohaji are 2 completely different types of people that you wouldn't expect to even associate with each other if they weren't related. With dreams of one day being as legendary as their father once was. The two brothers were given the task of kidnapping their boss, big Al's enemy's daughter until he agrees to compromise. Sounds simple enough right? WRONG. What happens when Ivory teams up with the brothers and this turns into a cat and mouse game between bonds and blood?

With a career reaching its peak, Tavi should be the most excited person, but she's not. She's having trouble disciplining Addison, dealing with everyone else's happiness, and maintaining a healthy relationship with her mother. Not only that but it seems that her relationship isn't all what it seems, she knows theirs a thin line between love and respect and she trying to decipher which side of the line her relationship is on.   Misunderstood and misjudged, Trina has always had her fair share of enemies, but one enemy won't stop until Trina screws her head on straight or they blow her head off themselves. Unlike most, Trina could care less. She's trying to give her son the life she's never had while at the same time remaining the same sneaky, conniving, and spiteful person people like to label her as. She's just trying to make it in the cold world by being the coldest, despite who she has to run over to get to the end of the road. ...things will never be the same.
