I’d been gone too long, it was time for me to remind these people why the streets called me GOD. – Atif
After a near death experience, Atif finds himself incapacitated, leaving his second in command in charge. While in recovery, the wife he left behind reappears in his life to stake her claim. Does he make it work with the woman he vowed to love and co-parent? Or does he make the ultimate sacrifice to protect his sanity?
She needed to go somewhere and get her mind right quick because I wasn’t gonna play those games with her that her husband did. Tanji needed to understand that I moved WAY different. – Prince
As the acting King of Chicago, Prince has his hands full with the cutthroat streets of the Chi. Tasked with balancing thug life with his changing personal life, Tanji’s problems only added more to his already full plate. When the opportunity to get revenge on the one person who started their current debacle presents itself, Prince hops on it immediately. But does it end in his favor? Or do the streets lay claim to yet another statistic?
Had Aram kept his word in the old country, me and his son could’ve lived happily ever after. Certainly we wouldn’t be here. – Free
Honor. Loyalty. Allegiance. These words used to mean something in the small village of Ararat where Atif Hermes’ family was from. Free was promised to Atif in exchange for her father’s loyalty and reneged on that promise as soon as the opportunity presented itself. Ever since that day, Free swore to get revenge on the most powerful family in Armenia one way or the other. And if fate saw it fit to bring about Atif’s extinction in the process, then so be it.
They say everything’s fair in love and war. My brother was about to find out how true that statement was. – Dash
The only acting King of Chicago was Dash, in his eyes. Atif was incapacitated, and Prince wouldn’t dare cross him. With the stars finally aligned for him to step into his birthright, Dash suited up and prepared for his hood coronation. There was only one small problem. How would Shantel react when she found out about Kapri?.
Betrayal, treachery deceit…will Chicago’s most well-respected trap God make it out of the trenches? Or will another step in and take his rightful place at the throne?
From the Publisher
The beginning…
“CODE BLUE! CODE BLUE!”
I pulled away from Tanji and tried to follow the crowd as they rushed down the hall with machines rolling behind them. Atif was the only person in the I.C.U. when I peeked in earlier…
“Prince?” Kapri fought through the sea of medical professionals to ask me the one question that was on all our minds. The one question I wasn’t in a position to answer her with a straight face. “Is that Atif?”
“Kapri—”
Atif’s little brother stood off to the side still coughing and wiping his face, trying to catch his breath and be noticed. Kapri finally tore her eyes away from the doctors to focus on what was going on around her. “Dash? Why are you here?”
“Kapri, you know him?” I looked back and forth between them both. What was going on up here?
“Yea,” Dash grinned eerily. “I know her. You said this Atif’s girl, right?”
In the thick of it…
“That’ll never happen with us.”
“Hmph. I bet Free thought the same thing.” She wiped tears from her eyes as she turned to look out the window. “Tell him—” her voice dropped to barely above a whisper.
“Tell him what?”
“Tell him I’m dead. That little boy looks just like you, Atif. I can’t look him in his face and not see you, not think about how you basically treated me like you loved me, yet I wasn’t important enough for you to tell the truth. Tell him I’m dead.”
“Is that what you want, Kapri?”
“Let’s not do this—”
“Nah, is that what you want?”
She wiped the tears streaming down her face…that pretty face I used to love waking up to That pretty face that was crying real tears. “Atif, please go.”
And from the time I walked out of that hospital room to this one, I hadn’t been able to get her out of my mind since…
How it all ends…
“ATIF! I LOVE THIS!” she screamed, her voice echoing off the high ceilings. “Is that an infinity pool?” she yelled, running through the house like a kid in a candy shop.
“Did I do good, Rebel?”
“Yes, my love.” She ran back to where I stood in the foyer, cuffing my ears and pulling me toward her puckered lips. Suddenly my mind flooded with memories; I remembered the night she got pregnant. “Mmmm, you did real good, baby.”
I threw her over my shoulder and carried her upstairs so we could christen the house. “Where we going, Atif?”
“To the bathroom. You don’t want Daddy to shave you?”
“Oouu God…I’ve been a bad, bad girl,” she purred.
