After leaving an abusive and mentally draining relationship Brittany decides to dedicate her life to her and her daughter Aria, but what she didn't expect was to meet Jazmine Johnson a self-made billionaire who has spent her life rebuilding her community despite the many challenges that were set in place to restrict her. When they meet Brittany decides to dodge Jazmine like any other person, but Jazmine's persistent nature makes it hard to do so leaving them to build something that would change their lives forever. . . . "It's you" She announced softly "So I did do something?" I asked thinking back, trying to figure out what exactly. "You're doing everything right" She confessed leaving realization to stand in my mind. "And that scares you?" I asked but it sounded more like a statement, nonetheless, she still gave me a small nod to confirm my words. "What's your fear when it comes to us?" I asked softly. "That you'll hurt me, lie, cheat, change" She replied her voice small and I could tell each word she said held a memory. "I won't, and I know that's hard for you to believe because of past experiences but I'll prove it, we can move at whatever pace you want to,"

Prologue

Jazmine's POVSirens sounded and I shook my head knowing it was the sign of another lost life as I walked into the store, sad as it was, it was reality, men died every day by the very object they praised, the gun.The same thing that granted them power left them weak and in need of breath. Many of them got too caught up in the lifestyle, bragging and waving their egos around too blind to see that someone would stomp it to prove their own power and dominance one day.I sighed as I grabbed a can of Arizona before moving over to the shelf that held the snacks, scanning it for a bag of Cheetos frowning when I came up empty."Devin are you out of Cheetos?" I asked speaking to the cashier.

Jazmine's POVI turned on Crimson street slowing down as I got closer to the store, I quickly parked the car beside Spain getting out. Loyalty was rare so I really appreciated the friendship we had, we've been friends since Middle School building a bond that was more solid than blood. He was my right hand in everything, the only one I could actually trust, I would give my life for him and he would do the same.I closed the door going around the car sitting on the hood as he moved over to me, we actually started everything together and the moment I left he did too."What's up Ice?" he greeted and I smile hating and loving that his dumbass nickname stuck."Anythi

I asked "Another body was found, same Vipers, gang shit, but this one is in your neighbourhood a drive-by, close to your crib so the cops are swarming I recommend you staying somewhere else in the meantime" he explained and I frowned the information irritating me slightly. It wasn't that I was doing anything illegal, I just didn't really feel comfortable or safe driving around my neighbourhood when it is flooded with cops."Alright

Jazmine's POVI pulled over allowing him to get into the car, scanning the area as he closed the door."Dragos were on our block last night" Spain announced as we drove off and I frowned glancing over to him."How many of them?""About six, seven, they were on 23rd" he informed me and shook my head, not liking that shit since my sister was going to be there tomorrow and they were in war with the Vipers over some dumb shit."Now Antonio knows better than that" I mumbled referring to their Don."Seems he forgot" Spain replied the hard look on his face clueing me into his thoughts.

Jazmine's POVI sat in the car waiting in the parking lot of the hospital for him, scrolling through Instagram as I did, a yawn leaving me. I had stayed at the club last night until everything was over and I was slowly regretting it now.I turned off my phone putting it away, my gaze going to the entrance as I grew impatient, I was about to call him when a similar face had me pausing, I blew my horn twice and I watched as she looked over to my car. I sent down the window gazing as she walked over to me."I'm surprised you remember me" I announced and she smiled."Listen before this goes any further you should know I have a three-year-old daughter" She pointed out and I smiled my eyes running over her.

Four Days LaterJazmine's POVI walked down the hall, knocking on the door waiting for seconds before it was finally pulled open by a female I assumed to be Terrell's girlfriend, the sound of the baby crying in the background."Good morning is Terrell here?" I asked as her eyes ran over me."No, he's on his morning jog" She replied and I checked my watch, the tenseness of her figure letting me know that she knew who I was."Do you mind if I wait here until he comes back?"

Jasmine's POVI sat around the bar watching as she moved towards me gracefully."On time," she stated and I smiled."You came," I fired back and she laughed, a sound so sweet it had me smiling."You ready?" I asked referring to heading inside and she nodded wordlessly saying yes resulting in me standing.My eyes ran over her as I led her to the dining area of the restaurant, the navy blue dress she wore making it hard to look away, I pulled out her chair and she sat down saying a small thank you as I moved over to my own seat doing the same facing her."You look beautiful," I complimented earning the same look of di
