Maliyah always had it rough. She could never say she had a good day, just good moments if you could even call them that.
With no love from her father that raised her, to an absent mother who loved her dearly but only when she was around which wasn’t a lot.
Her big sister Maiya was the family favorite and didn’t have much time for her little sister because she was doing her own thing living her life.
She was just simply here.
But when tragedy strikes everyone’s world is rocked and things go from bad to worse if that could even be possible, and then comes a ray of sunshine into Maliyah’s life.
Zaire didn’t even have a heart let him and his brother Khari tell it. They were just here for a good time when it came to these females.
Zaire and his brother were thrown away when they were babies but rescued by well to do family who thought could buy everything.
Zaire was attracted to Maliyah from the moment he laid eyes on her.
The more he resisted the more he was drawn to her, but he was a fighter so he was going to fight it as much as he could and that meant to the very end.
Maliyah had never been loved in life and not to mention this dope so she was beginning to feel like this had to be too good to be true, and maybe it was…..
