Just as Ayleen was about to head to the register, she remembered the novel she’d wanted to buy earlier. She hurried over to the novel section where the book was located. Unfortunately, when she looked for it again, it was no longer there. “Ah, but I really wanted to buy it,” Ayleen lamented. She sighed in disappointment. She remembered that the book she wanted to buy was one of the most popular ones. It sold out quickly and was often out of stock.

It was not long before Derick and Jasmine were locked away. With the White family's 'special care,' their time in the slammer was a living nightmare. By the time Ayden turned 10 years old, the worn-out pair was released. Derick's first move as a free man was to divorce Jasmine and try to track down Ayden and me. Little did he know that I had taken Ayden and left for foreign shores a decade ago, back to the stronghold of our family.

“My guys aren’t as good, but I found enough. That little site you run? My men and I might be interested in doing business.
