“Alexis or Erica, whichever character you’re in right now,” fat boy chuckled as Houser began his negotiations, “this is your only chance to help yourself. You know what’s going on over there is against the law. All I have to do is say the word and the feds’ll be all over that place. And not only will you go down for money laundering, conspiracy and fraud, you also have a murder hanging over your head.”
Parker finally decided to put his two cents in.
“Look, Alexis. The company is going down whether you help yourself or not. If I was—”
“Look,” Alexis sighed as she stepped back into the office and shut the door. “If y’all had something then you wouldn’t need me.”
Alexis snatched open the door and then slammed it shut behind her.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
After serving a nine-and-a-half-year prison sentence, WAHIDA CLARK was released to a halfway house on June 13, 2007, from the federal prison camp in Alderson, West Virginia.
She was crowned The Queen of Thug Love Fiction by Nikki Turner, the Queen of Hip-Hop Fiction. Wahida’s style of writing is the “template” for urban literature. When you read her novels, they are so real you are convinced of one of three things: you know the characters; you want to know the characters; or you are one of the characters. Her Essence and Black Issues Book Reviews bestselling novels include Thugs and the Women Who Love Them, Every Thug Needs a Lady, Payback Is a Mutha, Payback with Ya Life, and her latest anthology with Kiki Swinson titled Sleeping with the Enemy. She has just completed part 4 of her Thug Series, the highly anticipated Thug Lovin’.
She is vice president of the nonprofit organization Prodigal Sons and Daughters Redirection Services, a reentry program for convicts and ex-convicts, based out of East Orange, New Jersey. She has given motivational speeches and shared her story at high schools in New York and halfway houses such as Bo Robinson and Tully House in New Jersey.
She is also vice president of Phoenix Academy Inc., an organization that also provides support groups and mentors for at-risk youth. The ultimate goal is to establish a charter and vocational training schools.
She also has had several appearances on BET’s My Two Cents.
Today, Wahida operates her publishing company, Wahida Clark Presents Publishing, out of East Orange, New Jersey. Her first releases include Trust No Man by Cash, Thirsty by Mike Sanders and Cheetah by Missy Jackson.
