ADONIS: What the fuck you mean I cheated on you? I ain’t had eyes for another bitch since I been with you. You better stop fucking playing with me. I don’t know what the fuck happening down there but I’m on my way back now and you better be home when I get there too or I’m fucking you up Briana.
I rolled my eyes and shut my phone off. How did Kenya get a picture of him with his shirt off if he was telling the truth? He didn’t do social media at all so there was no other way. I walked up to Persia and hugged her.
“Persia go ahead and go home before Ramses finds out what we are doing. Whatever you do don’t tell him where I’m at or who I’m with. I don’t want Adonis finding me. I love you and I’ll call you. I hugged her and she began to cry. I didn’t want to start crying because I wanted to remain strong. I promise as soon as I get the address I’ll text it to you so that you can come see me.” I said as I wiped the tears from her face.
“I love you Briana and please be safe,” she pleaded.
“I will, now get out of here. I’ll call you.”
Persia immediately got into her car and pulled off. Now it was just Nino and I. His phone started going off and by the look on his face, I’m sure it was Adonis. He pressed reject and stared at me.
“Just wait down here while I go pack real quick. I’ll be back in like five minutes,” I said as I rushed up the front steps and into the house.
NINO
I was so fucking happy when Briana said she wanted to leave; my plan was working. I was going to have her to myself, she was now mine. We could now spend time together and not have to worry about Adonis. My dick started getting hard just thinking about it. Adonis was blowing my phone up but I kept sending him to voice mail. I didn’t give a fuck because right now I felt invincible. I felt as if I won and had the trophy. As Briana packed her clothes in the house, I decided to call Kenya up. Briana had beat, her ass pretty bad so I decided to see how she was doing.
“Hello,” she answered.
“How’s your face doing?” I asked bluntly.
“Nino, Shalia fucked up. She said my name aloud and Alicia was in there, we’re caught,” she yelled.
The high I was just on quickly faded as I heard Alicia’s name. I’m sure she was already gossiping to everybody about what just happened. If Adonis and Ramses came to her she would sing like a fucking bird. I immediately got angry because Kenya fucked up everything. I was as good as dead now because I know if Adonis caught up to her she would snitch on me.
“Why the fuck you go through with it if you saw Alicia in there? The fuck is wrong with you bitch,” I boomed.
“It’s done now Nino and I’m sure he'll be paying both of us a visit. I suggest you go into hiding because that’s exactly what I’m about to do. Deuces,” she hung up.
After I dropped Briana off, I was immediately going to lay low for a while. My fat ass was fucking petrified. I was starting to have second thoughts about helping Briana hide.
“I’m about to tell her ass that I’m not doing this shit no more, she gone have to hide somewhere else,” I thought.
“I’m ready Nino,” I heard her say from the top of the steps.
“I’ll follow you to your condo. Let’s hurry up and leave,” she said.
Seeing her made all those second thoughts fly out the window.
“Aight let’s do this shit,” I said as we both got into our cars. We both pulled out of the driveway and was now on the run.
THREE WEEKS LATER.
Three weeks had passed since I’ve been on the run from Adonis and I missed him so much. I felt as if I was torching myself by not seeing him. He called me faithfully every day and texted me asking me where I was. It sucked because I needed him the most right now; I was now four weeks pregnant with our child. I didn’t want to keep it from him so I texted him and seconds later he texted back going off on my ass.
BRIANA: I took a pregnancy test today and it came out positive. Just thought I should let you know.
ADONIS: You’re pregnant with my fucking seed and you still haven’t brought yo ass home. I swear when I find you I’m fucking you up. You don’t know how much fucking stress this has brought on me. You listened to a bitch that wanted your place but you to fucking dumb to see that shit. You’re coming home sooner than you fucking think. You can’t hide forever.
I sat my phone on my nightstand and contemplated if I should go home or not. Persia had been sneaking and coming to see me when she could. She was eight weeks and was glowing more than ever. Whenever Ramses left with his crew she would drop by so that we could catch up.
“Girl Adonis is going crazy over your ass. When he stopped by a couple days ago, he looked so damn angry, I was afraid to speak. Just go home Briana, especially since your pregnant. You both need each other,” she said. She even told me that the girl went into hiding and was nowhere to be found. Persia also told me that Adonis put a bounty on her head and that Nino was nowhere to be found as well. I found that odd because he periodically checked on me to make sure that I was okay. He had been bringing me groceries and buying me clothes. He even slept in the living room a couple of times.
He was being a gentleman in my eyes. Once he found out I was pregnant he even started buying baby clothes. The only thing I could complain about is the fact that my panties kept going missing. Which was odd because I was the only one here majority of the time. I couldn’t even lie though, this little bitty ass condo was nothing like my six story house I shared with Adonis. I missed being home so much, and on days that I felt sick I needed Adonis to comfort me. Persia told me that he was killing people left and right just because he was upset that I left. I was going to go home eventually, I just didn’t know when.
As I watched “Love and Hip Hop” Nino came into my room.
“Aye Bri, I’m going to this meeting with Adonis. I’ll be back later, do you need anything?” he asked.
“No I’m fine, thanks for being such a good cousin-in-law. I really appreciate it,” I said.
“No problem, I’ll be back.”
He left out of my room and afterwards I soon fell asleep.
ADONIS
“I’m calling this meeting today because shit is not getting done the way I want it done. We still haven’t found my fucking girl. I don’t know if y’all niggas not looking hard enough or if you just don’t give a fuck. But I tell you niggas what, if you don’t find Briana by today all your paychecks are getting cut. I got a bounty on this bitch Kenya’s head for 250,000 fucking dollars. That’s half a mill and mothafuckas still haven’t found her. Am I missing something? Tell me what the fuck is up niggas,” I said as I leaned back in my chair. I was angry and exhausted. How the fuck could someone just disappear without a fucking trace. Then to find out that she is pregnant with my child that shit set the fuckin tone.
“I got some information for your boss,” Brandon mentioned.
“Speak that shit nigga,” I yelled.
“Word out on the street is Kenya and Nino set this whole thing up. Shalia this broad I been fucking is supposed to be Kenya’s friend. After I was done giving her the pipe, she said that Nino wanted to break y’all up because he wanted Briana. He promised Kenya that you would go back to her if she was able to split y’all apart. They planned everything. Once the fight broke out in the nail shop Shalia saw Nino take Persia and Briana to the back then minutes later they all left with each other in separate cars.
Nino went missing for a while after everything went down right? I’m thinking he knows exactly where Briana is. He probably knows that we know now. That could be the sole reason why he hasn’t shown his face. He knows where Bri is boss, flat out,” Brandon explained.
What he said was making sense. I looked around the room at all my soldiers and saw that Nino was nowhere in sight and my blood began to boil. All of a sudden, the doors flew open and this bitch ass nigga had the audacity to show his fucking face after three fucking weeks. I reached for my pistol in my waist but I felt Ramses hand on my shoulder.
&n
bsp; “Don’t do it yet bruh, wait it out,” he said.
“Where the fuck you been at Nino?” I questioned.
He tried not to make eye contact with me. That right there led me to believe that he was guilty of everything.
“I was out of town with my girl, we went to Mississippi for her family reunion. I didn’t want to be bothered with anybody so I turned my phone off. I’m back now and I’m ready to work cuzzo,” he said.
"Bitch you work for me, you don’t take no fucking trips and not tell yo boss. My fucking girl is missing and you’re nowhere to be found. I should dead yo muthafuckin ass.” I said as I loosened my tie and rolled up my sleeves. Fuck what Ramses just said. This nigga could have killed Briana or hurt her. I knew he was obsessed with her, that’s why I was uncomfortable with him being around her.
I pulled my gun out of my waist and pointed it in his direction. “BITCH NIGGA WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU, I’VE BEEN IN THIS GAME TOO FUCKING LONG TO BELIEVE A DUMB ASS LIE LIKE THAT,” I boomed. Just the sight of this bitch nigga filled me with pure rage.
“Adonis, man I’m telling the truth. I was with my bitch in Mississippi man. I promise I’m not lying,” he pleaded.
I wasn’t gone kill his ass just yet, even though I knew he was lying, I still needed him so that he could lead me to Briana. With my gun still pointed in his direction, I ended the meeting. “I feel like I’m gone kill a nigga if I stay in this bitch. Everybody get the fuck out my office,” I yelled.
I walked out and everybody followed, I didn’t stay afterwards to talk to anybody. I had one agenda and it was to follow Nino’s bitch ass and see where he was staying. I had Turk drive by his condo downtown and the shit was completely empty, meaning he was now laying his head somewhere else. I ended up taking one of my soldier’s cars instead of mine because he wouldn’t notice me and the windows were tinted. I lit a blunt and waited in the parking lot until I saw him come out of the building and get into his car. I started the car immediately, I didn’t want to lose sight of him. He drove out of the parking lot and I was right on his tail.
********
I had been following him for about thirty minutes now. He made a sudden right into this random ass apartment complex. I slowed down trying not to make myself too noticeable. Once he parked his car and turned his engine off I quickly turned into a parking spot a couple of spaces down from his. I looked around observing the place. I soon came across a car that looked exactly like Briana’s Maserati Gran Turismo I had gotten her. It was the same exact color and everything. I reached for both of my pistols in my waist.
One was loaded and the other wasn’t. I didn’t think I would need both of them but I brought the other just in case. I walked up to the Maserati and confirmed my suspicions; it was in fact Briana’s car , which means she had to be in that apartment. Why the fuck was they in an apartment together? I walked up the steps and up to the apartment door. My adrenaline was on over drive. Before I made my grand entrance, I placed my ear to the door to see if I could hear anything.
“I bought the baby some clothes,” I heard Nino say.
“Nino, you don’t even know what I’m having yet and you’re up here buying this baby everything.”
Once I heard Briana's voice, I instantly kicked the door open.
“SIT THE FUCK DOWN AND PUT BOTH OF Y’ALL FUCKING HANDS UP,” I said startling them both. I placed a chair up against the door so that neither one of them could escape easily.
I studied both of them, were they secretly fucking? Was this baby mine? Why the fuck was he buying clothes for it already? I thought. “Y’ALL MUST THINK I’M FUCKING STUPID,” I said laughing as I picked up the baby outfits.
“IS THAT MY SEED IN YOUR STOMACH BRIANA? OR IS IT HIS? I DON’T KNOW A NIGGA THAT EAGER ENOUGH TO BUY SOME CLOTHES FOR A BABY THAT AIN’T HIS,” I yelled.
She didn’t answer me, which was stupid on her part because that only angered me more. I let off two rounds into the ceiling; I didn’t give a fuck who lived upstairs. As soon as Briana heard the gunshots she immediately took off running into the back area of the apartment. It was now just Nino and I. I just stared at this bitch nigga contemplating if I should blow his fucking brains out or play with him.
“YOU DID ALL THIS SHIT JUST BECAUSE YOU WANTED MY WOMAN FOR YOURSELF. DO YOU NOT KNOW WHO THE FUCK I AM? NIGGA, I GOT EYES EVERYWHERE. DID YOU THINK YOU WERE GONE LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER?” I said laughing.
“I was just helping her out cuzzo, I didn’t do anything. I been loyal from jump,” he stuttered. I cocked my gun and shot him in the leg. As he screamed in pain, I walked over and stepped on the wound. Did this bitch think I was fucking dumb? He had the audacity to lie to my face.
“WRONG ANSWER NIGGA, YOU’RE LYING. YOU NEED TO CONFESS IF YOU WANT TO LIVE,” I teased as I checked myself out in the mirror. His blood splattered on my collared shirt, fucking it up. That made me want to fuck his big ass up some more.
“It was all my fucking fault cuzzo, I’m the one that set you up, it was all my idea. I’m sorry and I regret it, I should have never met with Kenya nor should I have never met with Ivan. I helped him that night when he tried to steal from your dad. That day we killed all them dudes at in the vacant house I saw Ivan but I let him get away. I’m fucking sorry, I’m only a teenager let me live so I can enjoy life. Come on man we family. I fucked up and I’ll never do it again,” he pleaded.
As I sat here and watched him beg for his life, I felt no sympathy. He was a snake and had been a snake for the longest and snakes didn’t deserve to live in my eyes.
“Adonis I’m sorry, please just spare my life,” he pleaded once again.
This mothafucka wasn’t worthy of life he was shiesty and betrayed me. You only had one time to fuck me over, so his time was up. I let off two rounds into his head. I stared at his lifeless body and chuckled. Bitch ass nigga, I thought. I was now on the hunt for Bri. I walked to the back of the apartment and started kicking every door in, when I didn’t see her on the other side that only enraged me.
BOOM! I kicked the bathroom door open and to my surprise, she wasn’t there.
“IM GONE FIND YOU, I TOLD YOU, YOU CANT RUN FROM ME.”
BOOM! I kicked another door open with so much force it fell off the hinges. I wasn’t lucky though because she still wasn’t there.
There was only one door left and I knew she had to be in there. Instead of kicking it open I was gone give her the opportunity to open it. I knocked on the door with the butt of my gun about four times but she didn’t say anything.
“DON’T MAKE THIS HARDER MA, JUST COME OUT SO WE CAN GO HOME. I’M TRYING TO BE NICE BUT YOU MAKING THIS SHIT DIFFICULT,” I yelled. She still said nothing. I lost it and kicked the door repeatedly with so much force that I was convinced my leg was gone come off. The door flew open and there she was in the corner with her knees to her chest crying. I admit, I probably looked like the big bad Wolf right now but she made me do it. I tried to be nice the first time right?
I walked over to her breathing heavily with my gun still in my hand.
“GET THE FUCK UP,” I yelled as I pointed the gun at her.
“Adonis please, you’re scaring me,” she sobbed.
“YOU BEEN FUCKING THAT NIGGA?" I grabbed her neck, and backed her up against the wall. There was no way she was escaping.
“No Adonis, I haven’t! This is your baby!” she yelled.
“WHAT DID I TELL YOU WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU EVER TRIED TO LEAVE ME BRI?”
She didn’t answer.
I looked down at her stomach and placed my hand on it as I kissed her lips. “WHY YOU LEAVE WITHOUT COMING TO ME FIRST? DID YOU HEAR THAT NIGGA CONFESS ABOUT WHAT HE DID IN THERE? I TOLD YOU MOTHAFUCKAS WAS GONE TRY TO BREAK US UP AND YOU ALMOST LET THEM. YOU GOTTA BE FUCKIN STRONGER THAN THIS FUCKING WITH A NIGGA LIKE ME BRI,” I yelled.
“I’m sorry Adonis, the sheer thought of you fucking with someone just fucked my head up. Then she had a picture of you in her phone with your shirt off in our home. I totally lost it
without thinking about it all and I’m sorry. It will never happen again. I want to come home Adonis I want to be with you again,” she sobbed.
My anger was no longer present as I imagined my seed in her stomach. I didn’t like seeing her cry but that was some fucked up shit she did. I was no longer mad at her; I was ready for her to come home too. I needed her. She was my life, my everything.
“You ever pull some shit like this again I’m killing you,” I pulled my shirt up revealing her name tattooed on my chest and the symbolic words we got engraved in our skin.
“Now and forever, always and forever Bri. That means you’re not going anywhere and neither am I.” As I let her neck go I stepped back and looked around the room.
“Grab all yo’ shit so we can go, you have five minutes. If you take longer than that I’m coming back in here and dragging you the fuck out. I’ll be waiting in the car.”
BRIANA
As I watched Adonis leave out of the room, I immediately started packing my things. Seeing that side of him terrified me. Was that the Wolf everyone was afraid of? Shit, if so I could see why because I didn’t recognize the person that stood in front of me moments ago. I heard him honk the horn outside as I stuffed the rest of my clothes in my duffle bag. I was now ready to leave. On my way out the bedroom door, I passed a mirror. I took a couple steps back and examined myself. I stared at my reflection as I placed my hand on my stomach. No, I didn’t have a baby bump but this this wonderful being that was now growing inside of me made me look forward to better days. I loved this child so much and I haven’t even met it yet.
Tears filled my eyes as I realized that I wasn’t the Briana that I was months ago. As he honked the horn again startling me, I decided to pull my hair into a quick bun. As I lifted my hair, I stared at the words that meant so much to me on my wrist. “Now and Forever, Always and Forever,” I repeated in my head. Those words, those exact words had completely changed my life. I was stuck with this man for life. He was mine and I was his, I loved him with every bone in my body.
