She has a thriving career; close friendships; and a budding romance with Jauhn, a man who offers her the kind of love and security she's always longed for. As their relationship deepens, Amina finds herself pregnant and looking forward to a bright future with Jauhn by her side. Just as everything seems to fall into place, a hidden truth from Amina's past resurfaces, threatening to unravel the life she has carefully built. The weight of long-buried secrets becomes too heavy to bear, and Amina is forced to make an impossible decision that could destroy everything she holds dear. Set in the vibrant cities of Houston and California, 'Dear Jauhn' is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and the powerful consequences of past decisions.

Billy Lowe was born and raised in Dallas, Texas, where he grew up in a single-parent household, surrounded by a family rich in faith. His mother, a strong and resilient woman (may she rest in peace), raised Billy and his two brothers with unwavering love and guidance, instilling in them values of perseverance, faith, and hope. Though his upbringing was deeply rooted in faith, Billy faced his own struggles along the way, making several decisions in his youth that led him down a difficult and dark path. The series of bad choices shattered Billy's early life, sending him through a tunnel of darkness that he would struggle to navigate throughout much of his young adulthood. At times, life felt impossibly lonely, but even in those moments, Billy found a way to survive through the power of his imagination. When reality became too overwhelming, he would lose himself in the vivid worlds he created in his mind, where anything was possible. His imagination became his greatest escape, and it was there, in those imagined scenarios, that the seeds of his storytelling began to grow. Today, having survived and thrived through the challenges of his past, Billy's imagination remains as bright and vibrant as ever. As an author, he brings those same rich, creative worlds to life on the page. His books are a reflection of the tool he used to overcome the hardships of his life-stories and scenarios born from his own experiences, unlike anything ever told. Billy's work is fueled by his determination to tell unique stories, presenting narratives that stretch the boundaries of traditional storytelling and offer something truly original. His content aims to set a new standard in literature. Beyond writing, Billy is a successful business owner, understanding firsthand the concept of challenges and the perseverance required to overcome them. Just as he faced obstacles in his personal life, Billy faced hurdles in business, learning along the way that success comes from resilience and the ability to adapt. His writing, much like his business, reflects this understanding of life's difficulties and the determination it takes to overcome them. Billy's stories aren't just entertainment-they're a window into a mindset shaped by life's trials, where imagination becomes a tool for survival, growth, and transformation. Through his books, Billy hopes to inspire others to embrace their challenges, tap into their own creativity, and find the strength to move forward, no matter how difficult the road may seem. His work is a testament to the power of storytelling, not just as a form of escape, but as a means of healing and hope.

Textauszug

Chapter 1

Infatuation and Consequences

In 2000, Houston was an expansive city, a mingling pot of cultures, and a center of economic activity propelled by the aerospace, healthcare, and oil industries. The city was marked by its towering skyscrapers, congested freeways, and diverse neighborhoods. In this energetic city, the sharp divide between the wealthy and the working class was palpable. For many, like Talia Morgan and her daughter Amina, life was a daily grind marked by struggle and resilience.

The heat of the Texas sun was relentless, casting a haze over the city that made everything seem a bit slower, a bit harder. The air was thick with humidity, and the sound of cicadas provided a constant backdrop. In the midst of this, Talia Morgan worked tirelessly to provide for her daughter, Amina.

Talia Morgan was a woman of unyielding determination. In her early forties, she bore the marks of a life filled with challenges. Her hands were calloused from years of labor, and her eyes, though warm, often betrayed a deep-seated weariness. Talia worked two jobs: during the day, she was a receptionist at a local clinic, and at night, she worked part-time cleaning offices in the downtown district. Despite her grueling schedule, she always made time for Amina, doing her best to shield her from the harsh realities of their situation.

Talia’s mornings began before dawn. She would quietly slip out of bed, careful not to wake Amina, and prepare for her day. Her routine was meticulous: a quick shower, a simple breakfast of toast and coffee, and then she would don her uniform, a plain but neat outfit that signified her role at the clinic. Her commute was a test of patience, pressing through morning traffic. She wasn’t late today, which meant no coffee stains on her uniform as she sipped on some coffee, turning into the parking garage. Clearance, check; clock in, check; put lunch in refrigerator, check—it’s go time.

Talia greeted patients with a smile, managed appointments, answered phones, and handled paperwork. Her colleagues admired her work ethic but rarely saw the strain beneath her composed exterior. By the end of her shift, Talia would clock out, only to rush home, check on Amina and prepare dinner. On a normal evening, Talia had enough time to clean up and take a nap before heading to her part-time job.

Some nights were rough. Cleaning offices after hours was solitary and physically demanding work. Talia often found herself scrubbing floors, emptying trash bins, and wiping down surfaces well after midnight. Despite the fatigue that threatened to overwhelm her, she pushed through. She worked with a large crew that focused on speed, so they always managed to finish at a decent time.

Amina Morgan was a bright and determined young girl, standing on the cusp of adulthood. At sixteen, she was in her junior year of high school, with dreams that reached far beyond the confines of their modest apartment. Amina was tall and slender, with a warm brown complexion and eyes that sparkled with intelligence and curiosity. Her braided hair was often tied back, practical and neat, much like her approach to life.

From a young age, Amina understood the value of hard work, a lesson imparted by her mother’s tireless example. She was a model student who took part in extracurricular activities and always worked for the highest marks. Amina’s passion lay in business; she dreamed of attending college, earning a degree, and eventually starting her own company. The thought of creating something successful from scratch, much like her mother had done with their lives, fueled her ambition.

A typical day for Amina began with the sound of her alarm clock at 6:00 a.m. She would rise, stretch, and begin her morning routine. Breakfast was often a quick affair, a bowl of cereal or a piece of fruit, as she gathered her books and prepared for school. Talia always tried to see her off, offering a kiss on the cheek and a reminder to stay focused and be kind. “I love you, Amina.”

“I love you too, Mom,” the two would exchange.

At school, Amina excelled in her classes. Her favorite subject was economics where she eagerly absorbed lessons on market dynamics, supply and demand, and entrepreneurial strategies. Her teachers praised her for her diligence and insight, often remarking that she had the potential to achieve great things.

Outside of academics, Amina was involved in the school’s business club where she took on leadership roles and participated in competitions. She found joy in collaborating with her peers, brainstorming ideas, and presenting them with projects before presenting them to judges. These activities were not just an escape from her everyday struggles but a glimpse into the future she envisioned for herself.

Despite her schedule, Amina always made time for her mother. She understood the sacrifices Talia made and tried to lighten her load whenever possible. After school, Amina would hurry home to take care of household chores. Their evenings were spent together, sharing simple meals and talking about their days. Talia would listen to Amina’s stories with pride, offering advice and encouragement, before she would retreat to her room to catch a nap in preparation for her night-time gig.

The bond between Amina and Talia was unbreakable, forged through years of mutual support and understanding. They were a team, each striving to uplift the other in their own unique way. Talia’s stern but loving guidance had shaped Amina into a responsible and compassionate young woman. At the same time, Amina’s youthful optimism and determination inspired Talia to keep pushing forward despite the exhaustion that often threatened to overwhelm her.

However, their relationship was not without its tensions. Talia’s overprotectiveness sometimes clashed with Amina’s growing desire for independence. Amina longed for more freedom, to explore the world and make her own decisions. She was acutely aware of the sacrifices her mother made and felt a deep sense of responsibility to succeed, not just for herself but for Talia as well.

One Saturday evening, as they sat together on their worn but comfortable couch, Amina broached the subject of college applications. “Mom, I’ve been looking at some schools in California. They have great business programs, and I think it could be a good opportunity for me.”

Talia’s face clouded with worry. “California is so far away Amina. How will we manage? What if something happens and you need me?”

Amina reached for her mother’s hand, squeezing it gently. “I know it’s far, but this is something I really want. I’ll work hard, just like you taught me. And we’ll find a way to make it work together.”

Talia sighed, the lines on her face deepening with concern. “I just want what’s best for you, Amina. I don’t want you to spend your life barely getting by. Reach for the stars, Amina. You have what it takes to get ahead, and that’s what I want for you: to be independent and make good decisions.”

Amina’s eyes filled with determination. “I know, Mom. And that’s why I need to do this, to make a better life for the both of us.”

Their conversation ended with a silent agreement, an understanding that Amina’s aspirations were not just her own but a shared dream for a brighter future.

Living in Houston presented its own set of challenges. The city’s rapid growth had led to increased living costs, and their neighborhood, once quiet and safe, had become consumed by cars with loud music. Drugs contributed to a rise in crime. Kids were staying out later. And there were more vacant homes than ever in the neighborhood. Talia constantly worried about Amina’s safety, especially during the long hours she spent alone while she was at work. Despite these challenges, they found solace in their small but close-knit community. Neighbors looked out for one another, and there was a sense of camaraderie that provided a buffer against the harsh realities of their environment.

The church also played a big part in their life. Every Sunday, Talia and Amina attended services at a local Baptist church where they found comfort and a sense of belonging. The congregation was like an extended family, offering support and encouragement. Talia often volunteered at church events, and Amina participated in the youth group where she found friends who shared her values and aspirations.

As Amina stood on the brink of her future, she knew that her journey would not be easy. The path to achieving her dreams was fraught with obstacles, but she was prepared to face them head-on. Her mother’s dedication and the lessons she had learned growing up had instilled in her a resilience that would carry her through the toughest of times.

Amina was just beginning a tale of hope, determination, and the bond between a mother and daughter. As the sun set over the city, casting a golden glow over the area, Amina felt a surge of optimism. She was ready to take on the world, one step at a time, with her mother’s love and support guiding her way.

Amina’s Aspirations

Amina Morgan was not like most sixteen-year-olds. While many of her peers were consumed with the typical high school dramas and social hierarchies, Amina had her sights set firmly on the future. Her aspirations were shaped by the relentless drive to rise above her circumstances and make something of herself. She dreamed of becoming a successful businesswoman, of one day running her own company and creating opportunities not just for herself...
