From His Partner to His Prey

When she announced what she was doing to the rest of her family and friends, they were immediately on board. It felt so good to speak out about what she’d gone through. Keisha was so grateful for her survival and her sanity. She was amazed at how easy it was to get others involved with her vision. Before she knew it, Keisha was more than she ever dreamed of being. Her success was measured in moments of happiness. Being an author, mom, businesswoman, and non-profit founder made Keisha very happy and thus very successful. During one of her community events, Keisha was introduced to Edmond Jones. He was a well-known figure in the community and he had heard a lot about what Keisha was doing and decided to get involved.
This was a major game changer for Keisha. She was suddenly at events with people she only imagined being around. Edmond was able to open doors for Keisha that she didn’t even know she wanted to walk through. It was so refreshing to meet someone with a similar passion and drive for helping others. They developed an amazing friendship while working with one another. Soon, it became the norm to see them together. Neither of them expected it but it was the beautiful surprise that they both needed. Edmond was very supportive of Keisha’s writing and always encouraged her to write more. He was fascinated by her skills and wanted to be involved in her future projects. He saw something special in Keisha and wanted to do whatever he could to ensure her continued success.
Over the course of the next year, Keisha wrote another book and started another business. Everything was falling into place. Keisha watched her children grow from small little babies into wonderfully awesome teenagers. They were so inspired by everything their mom accomplished that they decided to take more active roles in her non-profit. It was wonderful to see them as strong, young adults despite all that they went through. Keisha knew she deserved more and as a result, so did her children. When she decided to step out and live life against the grain, it was a major challenge. She made it to the other side with style and poise. She was twisted, bent, and pulled in all directions and forced to overcome some crazy obstacles, but she made it! Keisha did not stay down, and she didn’t give up. She kept going and created the life she always knew she deserved. For Keisha this wasn’t a happy ending, but it was one dope ass new beginning!
