When we met Journal, she was just a quiet girl, working to make ends meet, and living with so much childhood trauma. She didn't know her worth, and she was so deserving of being loved. Now, here she is, over a year later since being in that dark place, and so much has changed. She's dating one of the biggest bosses out of Miami, and is about to enter motherhood. She has an amazing relationship with her big sister, Harmony, but it's been difficult to have that same relationship with Bryani.

Eighteen years have gone by since the separation, and now Journal is an adult. She's struggling out here in the real world, and in a very unhealthy relationship with her longtime boyfriend, Hakeem. Everything in her life changes the day that she meets Mr. Genesis Banks, better known as Slick.

Journal was separated from her brother and sister at the age of six. For years, she had this image of what she thought her oldest sister and oldest brother's lifestyle might have been like, moving past the day that they were both adopted. After a conversation with Harmony after all these years, she already knows that her life was nowhere near as perfect as Journal made it out to be.

Carmen Vasquez was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, a real Georgia peach. With a Mexican father and a black mother, she has such a spice to her, which forces people to either love or hate her. She grew up wealthy, but that didn't stop her from always finding interest in those bad boys from the other side. The other side is where she meets her baby's father, Ramonte.
