In the heart of the projects, five cousins-Leesa, Leslie, Jenn, Bianca, and Chasity-grew up as sisters in their grandmother's big house, a sanctuary in a neighborhood ruled by drugs, violence, and desperation. Each of their parents fell victim to the streets in one way or another-whether through addiction, incarceration, death, or abandonment-leaving their grandmother to raise them. She became their protector and the glue that held the family together.

When their grandmother passes away, the cousins discover she left behind a massive debt to a ruthless drug kingpin, Carlos "Los" Morales, who gives them three months to pay or lose the only home they've ever known. Desperate to save their family legacy, the cousins are drawn into a dangerous hustle to pay off the debt.

As they navigate the chaotic world of crime, romance, betrayal, and survival, old family secrets come to light, threatening to tear them apart. With rival gangs, personal conflicts, and their own pasts haunting them, the cousins must learn to trust one another or risk losing everything-not just the house, but the unbreakable bond they share.

This is a story of survival, ambition, and sisterhood, where love and loyalty are tested at every turn, and the fight for freedom comes with a cost.

The Cure For Boredom by WriterF0x13
36 parts Complete Mature
Jenna Myers starts out with the kind of life most girls would envy-sweet boyfriend, loving family, predictable routines in a quiet Florida town. It's so perfect it's boring. But boredom doesn't last. After her newborn brother dies from SIDS, Jenna's world collapses. Her grief pulls her straight into the orbit of her cousin Tessa-who drags her into cocaine, all-nighters, and eventually court-ordered rehab. Months later, Jenna gets caught and ends up in the same facility, stuck in the same destructive cycle. Rehab doesn't save them. It traps them together long enough to get pregnant. So they run. From Florida to California, the girls survive off prostitution, drugs, strangers, and whatever numbness they can find. They fall in with Parker and his crew, drifting from state to state until Jenna ends up married just to stay alive. But chaos doesn't slow down-Tessa loses her baby, the crew abandons them, and a car accident takes Tessa's life before Jenna can stop it. Then another crash kills Parker and leaves Jenna pregnant and alone, with nothing left but the one place she's been running from: Home. The cure for boredom turned out to be chaos-addictive, dangerous, and nearly deadly. ⚠️ Content Warnings: This story contains: drug use & addiction cocaine use teen pregnancy prostitution homelessnes death (including infant loss, car accidents) grief & trauma graphic emotional distress unsafe situations involving minors Reader discretion is strongly advised.

(OLD ONE!!) A Dangerous Gift

6 parts Complete Mature

Jada Morales's life was supposed to be simple. She was meant to follow her family's rules, keep her head down, and stay out of trouble. But all that changed when she caught her boyfriend of six years cheating-with her sister. Desperate to forget, she walked into the wrong club-and into Ryder Marconi's arms. What began as a one-night escape spirals into something neither of them can control when Jada discovers she's pregnant. Ryder insists on doing the right thing, but love was never part of the plan. Jada wants more-more than the heat of his touch or the promise of his protection. She wants someone who won't let her down, someone who won't leave her fighting for their future alone. But Ryder knows getting too close to him could destroy her. Keeping Jada safe means keeping his distance. His world is dangerous, and the deeper she's pulled into it, the greater the risk becomes. But walking away from her may be the hardest battle he's ever fought. In a relationship built on secrets and desire, can Jada hold on to the hope of love, or will Ryder push her away for good before it's too late? (THIS HAS MOVED TO REAM STORIES!! ONLY THE FIRST FIVE CHAPTERS ARE AVAILABLE ON WATTPAD!!)
