Life has never been worth living for Charisse before her father died. After three attempts to kill herself were unsuccessful, she makes a deal for release from hell on earth, with one of the people who made her life what it was.
It wasn't until Chyna finds out that
her husband, Parker Mills, was having an affair with her twin sister, Cheyenne,
that she realizes she's losing the best thing she's ever had. Feeling the
ultimate betrayal by her own sibling, Chyna knows she has to do whatever it
takes to keep her husband and give him what he longs for - a baby. Knowing that
she's unable to have children and Cheyenne is afflicted with the same
condition, she decides to go to the only person that can help her save her
marriage - her younger sister, Charisse.
In the end, one sister will die,
another will lose everything and one will get everything that she wants.
“Spending
fifty thousand dollars to produce off spring is crazy. Do you know what I could
have done with that money? By this time, I’d have hundred college funds set up
for you to donate to some third world child you could have adopted.”
Frustrated,
Parker sunk down in the chair in front of Jaelen’s desk. “Yeah, but it’s not
the same and you know it, Jae. Look at you. Five kids. Five damn kids.”
“Two are
from my wife’s first dead husband.”
“But you’re still a family. You have off spring. You have someone to carry on your bloodline and you’re sharing these moments with the woman you first fell in love with and married. I want that. I want to be you… well not all ornery and mean, but you know what I mean. I’ve been married ten years to Chyna and you weren’t even married to Kim before you were bopping out twins.”
“Well,
she raped me to get mine.”
“Let’s
not even go into that. I think you just harbor that over her just so you can
take advantage of her.”
Jaelen
smirked wickedly. “It does make the mundane marriage very exciting when you can
tie up your wife and make her beg for you. You should try it sometime.”
“Chyna
says it might mess up her hair and hands.”
“If you
can spend fifty on a baby, you can spend a couple of hundred– “
“Let’s
not go into this.” Parker really didn’t want to expand upon his wife’s shallow
behavior.
Jaelen
took the hint, understanding in advance this was a sore subject for Parker.
“So, this crazy sister-in-law, what’s her story?”
“Nothing
I haven’t already told you. Chyna says her sister is so pathetic she can’t even
kill herself.”
“How many
times has she tried?”
“This
last time makes three.”
Jaelen
stopped what he was doing and frowned. “I’m not religious and all that, but she
ever thought that it just wasn’t her time, and that she had a purpose in life.”
“You ever
thought you’re just saying that shit because you’re an ass and you’re trying to
find some hilarity out of a bad situation?” He stood up.
“So I
take it you haven’t told Chyna about the boat?”
Parker
didn’t answer because he knew Jaelen already knew the answer. He was saving it
for the moment when Chyna announced that they were going to have a baby.
Knowing that they were going to dedicate eighteen more years together deserved
an award and “the boat” was the key.
Yet that moment hadn’t come and he was starting to think it never would. The majority of Parker’s friends were married and those that were had children, vibrant healthy off spring. Their blood running through small versions of themselves.
Sylvia Hubbard
knew she’d wanted to be a writer of romance long before she knew there were
black writers in the world. Weaving stories magically as a summer past time to
writing stories to get through the humdrum of school, she was able to create

“I’m no
superwoman,” she states with a smile that seems infinite on her lips. “I’m just
being an asset in the world instead of a liability.”

addicted blogger by HoneyTechblog.com, nominated and recognized for her
literary work in the Metro Detroit area, referred to as “A Literary Diva” by
