Sixteen year old, Vanessa Diamond is attacked from behind and raped in the two bedroom apartment she shares with her mother and brother. Vanessa passes out and wakes up not knowing what happened to her but leaving her in excruciating pain and with horrible nightmares. Unbeknownst to Vanessa, two guardian angels come to her rescue during the attack, leaving her with a close family friend to heal and her attacker left to burn in flames. 

Fifteen years later, Tamia Huff receives a phone call turning her world upside down and informing her that she'll receive a package that'll shine light and reveal the truth behind Vanessa's attack, the apartment fire, and so many other family secrets.

As secrets are revealed and the truth is brought to the light, the lives of others are destroyed, debts are repaid, and one family will fight to regain control of their empire while trying to capture their enemy.

80 parts Complete Mature
Being alone? Check. Being afraid? Check. Being abused? Check times 3. Honestly, my life wasn't this bad before, not until I ended in foster care... SIKE! My life was always bad. From the moment I was born, I lived with an abusive father who blamed me for my mother's death, and even I couldn't disagree with him. Here are a few questions I am constantly asked: 'Do I do well in school?' No, are you kidding me? The only subject I'm good at is Visual Arts. 'Do I have a kind and caring family?' No, I don't think I do. 'Do I have anyone who cares about me?' No, I'm a loner and socially awkward. 'Do I have privileges?' No, if you haven't understood the message yet, I live in an abusive household. Now, you might ask if there are any questions the answer is yes. I'll give you some. 'Do I want to die?' Yes, I sometimes do. 'Do I feel alone in this world?' Yes, always. 'Do I get a beating every day?' Yes. *** This is Amara Williams, a 13 year-old with average grades and no friends. What happens when her only guardian, her dad, is dead? What happens when she finds out that she has five older brothers who are not only strict and demanding, but also protective assholes? More importantly, what happens when she finds out that she was taught lies from the moment she was born? Follow Amara as she digs deeper into her family history, uncovering the secrets and discovering the lies. ___ ⚠️ Trigger Warning ⚠️ There will be mentions of abuse, r@pe, self harm, death, and many other dark themes.
