Our Mother’s Sons by Natisha Raynor

** This is a Mother’s Day short story**

All Jeovanni and Jovani Bendetti ever knew growing up was that the woman that raised them, their paternal grandmother couldn’t stand their biological mother. She blamed Melissa Bendetti for the murder of her only son. When Melissa decides to show her face, she presents her sons with an offer they can’t refuse. An offer that cost Jeovanni the love of his life. Jeovanni has spent the last few years building a lucrative empire with his brother, and he has zero regrets. Until skeletons start to fall out of the closet and chaos begins to ensue. Circumstances begin to change how Jeovanni views the very game that made him filthy rich.
Events that took place when Rainah was a child shaped the way she views drug dealers. Not even the fact that she’d been crushing on Jeovanni Bendetti for most of her life changed the fact that she refused to date a drug dealer. Rainah walked away from Jeovanni with her head held high but five years later, she’s back in Ausnor Beach, Florida, and life is more complicated than ever. Rainah may soon realize that the very thing she ran from was the very thing she needed.
