"This street shit ain't no joke, calling it "fast life" is an understatement. One day you up, next day you scraping for change.
My problem was I been playing this game the wrong way, one foot in one foot out at all times. It wasn't a time before this, that I wasn't trying to find a way out this shit. My brother Mac once told me "this the devil's game, ain't no being halfway in this shit, you gotta sell yo soul to the streets."
I finally understand what he mean, you gone do alotta shit you don't wanna do but that just what come with the game. Instead of one foot in and one foot out. I gotta be standing ten toes down for whatever come with this shit."

You better get over as fast as you fucking can or so help me! I will beat your ass! . . . What? Who? . . . Okay." He hangs up and glares daggers at me. My eyes widen and I gulp. "One of you god damn gang members, hit my daughter with their fucking car!" He yells. My blood runs cold. His phone dings and he shows me the video of Dean full on hitting Dazy.

If they do turn up, they're completely bloody, bones popping out of their skin, eyes stabbed or popped out of their sockets, face skinned off, and dead.

Sinner (Completed)
"Mama, I can't just leave Abir." I admitted, telling her exactly why I couldn't do this. Not only would she be snatching me away from my family and friends but she was taking me away from the person I'd loved for five going on six years. I couldn't just walk away from him. "Baby.." She trailed off, sighing deeply. "I know you love Abir." She stood to her feet to stop packing for a moment and pulled me into her. "But I promise you, there will be other boys. Right now you have to do what's best for you and that's coming with your daddy and I to give you a better life." "Better life for who? You?!" I screamed out, becoming even more angry at her choice of words. As if my feelings were robotic and I could just turn them on and off for any and every person. "My feelings just don't matter to y'all at all, huh?" I asked, crying harder than before now. "Speak to your mother with some respect, Giselle." My father spat to me and I shook my head, watching as they stood there looking at me like some dumb teenager. This wasn't puppy love for me. I didn't spend 5 years building something, just to walk away from it for their dreams. I couldn't do it. Sinner. Book #1Complete

My dad was a drug lord, biggest drug lord there was. His name was Carlos Cortez but in the streets they called him Lucien, why? I don't know and I don't care.
