Dangerously in Love

Money, power, and respect seemed to make I.E. and Truth pretty much untouchable to most for years. Growing up in the streets of Newark, NJ, they made a pact at an early age to become two of the biggest and richest drug dealers around. By the age of 24, they had successfully accomplished their goal. Young, black, and paid, life was good in their eyes and they had no complaints. The ladies loved them, and the streets respected them. With his height and the chiseled body to go along with brown eyes that fit perfectly against his golden caramel skin, I.E. was gorgeous, and he knew it. Let his aunt tell it, "that baby boy was born perfect." Every female in the hood was pretty much willing to do anything to be his girl, or at least one of them, but he prided himself on being unattached. He'd never been in love or had a woman he called his own. And he loved it. Truth loved his lifestyle just as much as IE loved his. Dark-skinned with dreadlocks, he was built solid and strong. The women flocked to Truth everywhere he went but they also knew that he was only concerned with getting money and his long-time girlfriend, Shafequah. She was his world, and everyone knew it. And there was no way he was going to replace her, ever. One night at the club changes everything when Truth and I.E. meet the breathtakingly beautiful Tina, and her equally as beautiful God-sister, Ka'mirah. It's in that meeting that everything in their world begins to change in the blink of an eye. When I.E. and Tina decide to give in to their feelings for each other, it sends both I.E. and Truth into a street war with their rival and Tina's ex, Raheem. Determined not to back down from his empire or the woman he wants in his life, I.E. is ready to defend his territory by any means necessary. Stuck in a street battle with I.E., Truth is also waging war at home when he finds himself caught up with two women he can't choose between. Whatever he eventually decides, he knows for sure that life as he knew it will never be the same.

Join us in part two of A Hustler's Weakness as we'll follow I.E. and Tina's road to living happily ever after in the dangerous world of money, power, respect, and murder that they live in. In part one of this series we introduced you to the handsome I.E., and his greedy best friend Truth. The two found themselves in a world of trouble after meeting the beautiful Tina and her God-sister Ka'mirah one night at Club Joe's. Neither knew how their chance encounter would change the lives of all four of them. Truth is still having a hard time juggling his relationship with his long time girlfriend Fequah, and his new interest Ka'mirah. For some reason he is completely draw to Ka'mirah in a way that he only thought Fequah could do. Fearing that if he breaks things off with Fequah he would lose her forever, he continues to hold on to her with denials and promises that he can't seem to keep. All this while he continues to pursue another relationship with Ka'mirah on the side. Just when Truth thinks that things have settled down and he has figured out a way to have his cake and eat it too, the pressure rise, and his life becomes even more complicated. Tina and I.E. have fallen head over heels in love. And at this point I.E. would stop at nothing to keep her in his life, and far away from the drug enterprise that he and Truth dominate together. He's still learning the ins and outs of how a relationship works so he's been running solely on what he feels in his heart. I.E.'s has no plan of losing Tina to anything, and especially not at the hands of his lifestyle. The only problem with that is Rakeem, I.E.'s long time rival, and Tina's old fling doesn't have any plans of letting them live their happily ever after. With Rakeem promising to do any and everything he can to destroy I.E. and Truth, he doesn't hold anything back on the means he's willing to go to accomplish his own goals. Throwing any and every one that I.E. and Truth have ties to or love into this war, he feels that he has the advantage and will come out on top.
