Power is a dangerous thing. The more we have, the more we crave.
Aliya Speights clawed her way out of the projects, though everything from loyalty to her daughter’s father to his lavish dirty money kept pulling her back in.
Shemar, or “Capone” as she refused to call him, ran the largest drug operation in the Bronx. Only one man in all of New York held more power.
