74 parts Complete Mature
#TheMelaninMovement What does it mean to be 'Too Far Gone'? It means 'too late to change'. 'No more hope'. Somebody has not only turned the power off, but they pulled the plug. However, for Chenelle Hampton, just because someone pulled the plug didn't mean it was all over for her. After a period of mental and emotional distress, she decides that she no longer wants to sit on the sidelines and watch her life pass her by. As means of revamping herself, Chenelle powered herself on, overcoming the havoc and the mental and emotional misery that came with consorting with notorious criminals. Of saints and sinners, she chose the Third Street Saints. "It's an easy way to make money," they said, but she quickly realizes that she's into something far deeper than get-rich-quick schemes and a side hustle. Secrets about her family are buried and resurfacing to the light, and life as she knows it is changing right before her eyes.

I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan.

"You know this person?" She asked to you. My heart clenched as my gaze never left your beautiful caramel brown eyes, anxiously waiting for you to reply her question. My head flooding with nothing other than the images of how I have touched your skin, kissed your lips, sipped your tongue, marked your body, owned your soul and made you mine several several times. The image of our naked body blending and molding with one another still fresh in every single fibre of my brain. "Do you?" She repeated. "No." You answered with a dead tone. Eyes blank.
