Heartbeat Don — Randy Cochran

David was young, innately intelligent, charming, well dressed, and filthy rich. He frequented posh clubs and hotels, owned posh houses, luxury cars, and everything anyone craved for. Women desired to be with him, and men wanted to be like him. He was the don of Hartford, Connecticut--a rogue but respected guy in streets who had the money and power. He sold drugs together with his most trusted men. He and his men were objects of fear because they have a resolve to kill without mercy to protect their own interests. The don was now a far cry from the boy who was a raised to be good and God-fearing in Atlanta, Georgia by his grandmother, together with his two sisters.

The gentle boy's life began to change abruptly when he, his sisters, and his mother moved to Hartford, Connecticut to reunite with his stepfather and other siblings. Not only was he living with a stepfather who was an alcoholic and wife-beater, he also lived in a town where crime and belligerence rule. Soon he surrounded himself with friends who, in one way or another, spent time in juvenile detention. He lived a fast life, quit school, and was lured to sell drugs. One time, he and his friends went to a club where the affluent chill, and there he met a don. The don supplied him with high quality cocaine, heroin, and marijuana, and his business in the streets of Stowe Village was booming. The boy later realized that he wanted to be a don, so he devised a scheme to get rid of the reigning don and take possession of a truckload of contraband worth millions of dollars of illegal drugs. David succeeded.

In no time, he became an object of vengeance and hatred from the under lords of New York. They took from him his most priceless possessions, and he dealt them a blow they never imagined would happen.
