title: After The Reign
author: Renee, K.
description: Paths can cross at the best or the worst moments of someone's life. One can only hope that a person's entrance into their life is for reasons that aren't disingenuous. When Reign's life began taking a turn for the worst, she found herself at rock bottom, with no clear view of light at the end of the tunnel. A terrible mistake on Reign's part caused even more mayhem to fall down on her already hopeless situation. With only wanting the life she deserved and her daughter back in her arms, Reign finds herself fighting to climb out of a whole that seemed to only get deeper the harder she climbed. Cree was about his business, stacking his paper, and taking care of his wife, Chanel. Ruling the Philadelphia drug game, Cree's worries weren't on the small things. He's a boss... the one calling all of the shots. However, outside of the game, there were things Cree had no control over, leaving him feeling helpless. Cree tries not to become reckless, but emotions are high, and mistakes are made, leaving him in a dark place. Justice is a hothead, and Cree's right hand. There is no room for anyone to play with his emotions or his money. Any enemy that even thinks coming his way is a good idea, will be dealt with swift and quickly. And when it comes to matters of the heart, Justice isn't ready to settle down with just one woman. However, when it comes to Kiera, he can't seem to let go. Kiera is an independent, go getter. She's focused on making her way out of the hood and stacking money in the bank. What she isn't down for, is being someone's second. Kiera knows her worth and refuses to fawn over the scraps Justice manages to throw at her. Deciding their time is up, Kiera believes their paths no longer align, and is ready to move on from a dead-end situation. Four different paths somehow manage to intersect as each one of them are maneuvering through the unforgiving streets of Philly. However, when Reign, Cree, Justice, and Kiera find themselves connected, will they be able to survive the chaos that rains down on them? Find out in After the Reign.
