Hoe. Slut. Skank. Those were all words that Ms. Dreka Hendrix has been called over the past few months ever since she landed her a job at Sin City.

June and Free were introduced to us, and they both played their part in why the relationship had so many shortcomings. So many opportunities presented themselves for both of them to walk away, but through it all, they stayed, and they were finally in a place where they could possibly get it right. Free already knows what it feels like to lose a sister, and she's hoping that she doesn't have to experience that hurt again with Dionne.

Rudy Rae is her name. She also goes by Minnie. She's a Southern girl, born and raised in Albany, Georgia.

In her teenage years, Rudy wasn't interested in these teachings.

They could be good for each other, but for some reason, they just can't get it right.

The title of this series is Free Me from You, but does Free really want to be freed from June?

The two of them have history. A bunch of ups and downs and tears, and everyone can agree that a lot of toxicity has taken place as well.

Since part one of this series, this has been one crazy rollercoaster of a ride.

One of the biggest jaw-droppers from part one was Korporate finding out about his seventeen-year-old son. Korporate has always been a stand-up guy, never the one to run away from his responsibilities, so he has every intention of stepping up to raise his son.

The Strong family. A family filled with hustlers, breadwinners, and stone-cold killers. They run one of the biggest drug operations to ever come out of Miami, Florida.

So here we are, well over 80 years later, and the business is now in the hands of Korporate Strong, the great-grandson of Kamil Strong. Alongside Korporate is his mother, Shadae Strong, wife of the late Kato Strong, who felt compelled to leave the business to his wife and oldest son.

We've witnessed Carmen and Insane through all the drama, the highs and lows, to the beautiful moment that led them here. With just a couple of weeks until they stand before each other at the altar, this short story will take us through everything to get to the perfect happily ever after that they both deserve.

With the amount of lows that happened back to back in this series, you would think that the worst is now over, but it's honestly just begun. One of the biggest lows of this series has to be Emilia's and Ramonte's betrayal of Carmen. We all know that Carmen is very short-tempered, and it doesn't take much for her to lash out. To know that a cousin of hers, who's also her best friend, is pregnant by Carmen's baby's father is a situation where Carmen will be well within her rights to handle it however she wants to.
