Synopsis:
Sometimes life hands us a bat and a uniform and then drop us in the bottom of the ninth inning with two outs and two strikes. Losing by one you have no choice but to score.
Wayne was fresh out of prison with the mindset to do right; live a law-abiding life. But circumstances were forcing him back onto the road he had sworn to never again travel.
Not one to give up, he mustered up the courage and decided to give the streets one last try. This time he vowed to go hard or go home. And true to his word, he went hard, using the backs of any and all as a ladder to climb up; not caring who, what, when, where, or why. He was all in.
He had learned in prison that only the heartless survived, and circumstances had hardened his heart. Now anger and bitterness were pushing him toward becoming heartless. And if being heartless was what it would take to make it, then so be it.
But karma is a motherfucker when you're playing against the odds.

The American Dream 2: THE URBAN NOVEL
Hey guyss! Alright so,..this is the official The American Dream: The NOVEL. I consider "An Urban Story: The American Dream" more like the prologue to this all. It's a short story so it introduced you to the character's and sort of gave the back drop of how they even got to this point...so if you haven't ready that...I highly recommend that you do because it'll give you a better understanding (link below). I've been trying so hard to perfect it, but I don't wanna keep y'all waiting so I just posted a simple chapter and i'll try to update this everyday if I can.. I look forward to seeing your feedback and opinions. I hope you enjoy this..it will be long..keep in mind that this is a marathon now and not a sprint so give it a chance :) Part 1 http://www.wattpad.com/story/6521374-an-urban-story-the-american-dream Happy Reading! - Tee Da BossConcluida
Love, Dad | THE AMBYS 2025 Grand Favorite ✔️
|CROSSROADS x LEAP YEAR | Eighteen-year-old April Lewis flees her troubled home, desperate to escape her emotionally distant, controlling mom, and seek out her dad. Little does she know a chance encounter with her classmate will take her on a cross-country ride: a journey that will change April's life forever. A venture that will lead her down a path of self-discovery and unexpected love. *** When eighteen-year-old April Lewis' mom walks around like a zombie, evades all attempts to talk and controls her every move, April decides she's had enough. She leaves home one warm summer evening with nothing but a yellow backpack filled with her coveted dad's letters he's been sending her for the past months, and some bare necessities. She's determined to seek him out and go live with him down on the West Coast, where he has a temporary job. The last thing April expects is almost being hit by a car. The owner of the vehicle? Her classmate, Dave Rivera, a troubled boy whom she almost never talked to before, and who can't be more different than her. After making sure April is just a little banged-up, Dave strikes a deal with her: he'll help her get to the West Coast free of charge, as long as she doesn't report him to the cops. The two embark upon a road trip from NY to LA, navigating through stunning landscapes and meeting a colorful cast of characters. While sharing life stories and exchanging experiences, armed with the wisdom from her Dad's letters, April and Dave discover that they are a lot more alike than they originally thought. The journey slowly becomes more important than the destination, and their path takes an unexpected turn when a shocking secret comes to light. © 2024 EvelynHail Exclusively on Wattpad Based on prompt 4!

Between The Flames ⚜️Il Paradosso Book Two⚜️
I dreamed of him again last night. He came to me in his riveting form, dressed in the liturgical signature black attire. His dark hair slicked back, accentuating the alluring frame of his chiseled jaw, with the figure of a sculpted deity, just as I'd remembered him. His invigorating smile was seducing me, taunting me, reigniting the sparks that had been scuffled by the lingering absence of his affinity. His daunting eyes consumed me, staring, burning with the intensity of a thousand flames. His beguiling features were enticing, drawing me in, and I was falling deeper, further into his arms until he was drifting and faded away in the shadows. Mornings after were imbued with feverish yearning that waned throughout the day, leaving me to a dreadful emptiness, a void that failed to dissipate during the two years apart. It had been the longest winter without him. All Adriana wanted was to be free. But it came with a cost, one that she hadn't expected to so deeply regret. The very life that she had once tremendously despised was now what she craved the most. But things are different after being away, for she is no longer the helpless, vulnerable girl taken nearly two years ago by the man who now holds her heart on a thread. The man who made a promise. A promise that he couldn't keep. She remembers everything from the moment she was rescued from the claws of one evil to the nightmarish events that transpired in the hands of another. As her dark past collides with the present and her love for the ruthless Mob Boss is put to a test, Adriana has to confront the demons that were responsible for her ruin and make an irreversible decision that will seal her ultimate fate. This is the second book to Il Paradosso Mafia Series. #1 omerta #2 crimefictionConcluida
C.R.I.P ( Cash Rules In Power)
"See, the thing about the streets? They don't love nobody. You either make it out or you get buried in it. Ain't no in-between." In the heart of Compton, where gang wars and fast money run the block, a young hustler gets caught between survival and ambition. He never wanted this life-he had dreams, plans, a way out. But when bills pile up and the streets start whispering his name, the choice ain't his no more. At first, it's just about the money. A couple of deals to keep the lights on, to put food on the table. But the streets? They don't let you dabble. One move turns into another. One favor leads to a debt. And before he knows it, he's in too deep. A name. A rep. A body on the pavement. Now, he ain't just another kid trying to make it. Now, he's a player. And in this game, you either rise to the top or get put six feet under. C.R.I.P. (Cash Rules in Power) is the untold story of a young hustler's rise from the trenches to the throne. The money, the power, the love, and the loss-it all comes with a price. The only question is, will he make it out before the streets take everything from him?
