Melanin. The pigmentation of skin and hair. The only thing ,no matter how hard you try, that you can't permanently scrub or bleach out of your system. What society frowns upon when you have too much of. A color that carries riches, history, beauty and royalty only fit for gods and goddesses. Melanin. The thing Ashanti despises the most. She was used to the hate by know but what she never saw coming was "Mr.Almond-brown" himself...from the way he looked at her to the way he always held her down. But when things start getting messy who's to blame? She always taught he was crazy. And he wanted her.
