A New Me

There are a few things you should know about Aniyah Williams:

One is that she's a prostitute.

Two is that her parents died when she was 16 and her older brother left her afterward

And three, she isn't a believer. After all, how can she believe in a God who took everything she cared about away from her?

Little did she know that her life was all about to change.

Excerpt:
"I WANT YOU TO MOVE IN WITH ME AND JADA," CHARLES ANNOUNCED as soon as I had taken a seat in his home office. It was a bit on the small side but still huge with bookcases that were ceiling to floor and a big brown desk, Macbook on top of it. I raise my eyebrows at him. That boy best be playing.

"I'm sorry what now?"

He gives me a look. "Niyah you know I only want the best for you right? I want you to move in."

"Charles I've only been here for a week and a half. I have my own home and my own job. I don't need to move in with you," I reply.

"What job Aniyah? We both know it's not even close to a job. And your home is in one of the worst areas ever. I don't want you there."

"Fine then, I'll get a new home. And as far as I'm concerned as long as it makes money, it's a job. You can't just come into my life and order me around," I say, raising my voice a bit.

"What about your dreams you had? To go to college and get your degree? To make clothes and be a famous brand and start your own business. "

I snort. "Well, it's not so easy to follow your dreams when your brother leaves you after your parents die. Did you forget that part?"

I see him cringe but he straightens himself up so quickly you would hardly believe he did. "I want to make it up to you. I know I was dumb and stupid and it wasn't easy for you at all to leave you like that. But can you at least forgive me for that?"
