Aftershock

✨"Just when you thought shit was sweet." - Khalil Hassan Banks✨

Jaleia thought she had finally left her painful past behind. She thought that she was finally stepping into the life she had always wanted-a fresh start, a growing family, and a future she could build on her own terms.

But peace doesn't last long always.

As Kane works to leave his old life in the streets behind and build a legitimate future through real estate, old enemies and unfinished business threaten to pull him back in.

With secrets being kept, old enemies possibly resurfacing, and someone seemingly watching Jaleia and her growing family, Kane and Jaleia are forced to question whether their new life is truly safe-or if their past is catching up with them.
