“NOT!” I poured the liquid on her stomach first.
“AHHHHHH!” She screamed out as the acid burned through her stomach. I turned and the other chick had vomited.
“Go head Colby.” Lizzie’s eyes were rolling and she was barely hanging on. That acid is serious. He started up the chainsaw and went for her legs.
“NOOOOOOO!” Her leg fell off and blood was everywhere.
“Goodbye Lizzie. Your family is already in hell and Kerron will be joining you soon.” I poured the acid on her neck and watched as it ripped away at her flesh and soon the bones. When her head rolled on the floor, I finished pouring it to make sure none of her body was left.
“A’ight Colby. It’s clear her ass ain’t gonna make it.” Haven yelled. Colby was taking every limb off the other chick.
After he finished, the crew came in to clean up.
“How long y’all staying?” I asked throwing my gloves in the bag Bran takes outside to burn.
“We not leaving til we find him. What’s up?” Haven answered.
“My fiancé’s sister is having a birthday party and she thinks it’s gonna bring him out. My boy don’t want her involved but she insisted and you know a happy wife makes a happy life.” They laughed.
“Long story short, it’s at the club and he wants to make sure she’s protected. Besides Bran, Reg and my team, we can use y’all.”
“Once you said party, nothing else mattered. You mind if I bring my wife?” Jax asked.
“Nah. Bring your wives, they can mingle with our women and you know how we get down.” They all agreed to stay a little longer and bring their wives to the party. Kerron can show up all he wants but when he does, he will not make it out alive.
Nyana
“Kenji is not about to let you out the house wearing that.” Tashi said in the store.
We were shopping for Sade’s party. I didn’t think she should have one either, but I had to agree with Kenji when he said, it’s better we’re all around so if he does come, she’ll be safe and protected. Jai was not having it.
“What’s wrong with this?” I modeled the all black bondage dress that hugged my curves perfect. It was mid-length with spaghetti straps. I know for a fact Kenji would love me in it.
“One... it’s too tight and two... now that you’re pregnant, he’s gonna want you covered up more. What y’all think?” Rodney said walking out in some skin tight black leather pants with an off the shoulder shirt.
“Damnnnnnn.” Me, Tashi and Sade shouted.
“I’m glad my man strictly pussy because you damn sure would take him away in that. Your body look better than mine.” Tashi joked.
“I do look good right?” We all sucked our teeth.
“Can’t even give his stuck up as a compliment.”
“Whatever. I have to make sure I’m as fly as you bitches. You know all the men are gonna be watching out for Kerron and I like attention too.” All we could do is laugh.
“Well, the guys from Jersey brought their wives and they stopped by last night. I must say, not only are they beautiful and established but cool as hell. I can’t wait for y’all to meet them.” Kenji invited them over last night so we could meet beforehand. He didn’t want us showing up at the club and not really interacting. It’s all good though because like I said, they were fun.
“What guys from Jersey?” Tashi asked. Her man had been keeping her in the house as much as possible to avoid her passing out again. He was just as excited to have this baby as she is.
“The reaper as they call him and his cousins. They are fine as hell too but my man is all I see.” I smiled thinking of how sexy my man is.
“Mmm hmmm. He may be all you see but fine is fine.” Sade said twirling around in an all-white romper. Her legs were showing, and the shorts just covered her ass.
“Bitch, Jai is gonna blow a gasket.” Rodney told her.
“He’ll be alright. It’s my birthday.”
“The only thing he needs to worry about blowing on is in between my legs.” She winked and went in the dressing room to change.
“I’m getting this.” I turned to go change as well and I’m gonna make sure I hide it until the party in a few days. Once we all paid for our things, we went to lunch and I must say we had a ball there too.

“What can I do for you Mrs. Smith?” I asked after opening the door. Hell yea I got the locks changed. I don’t care about us having a moment. She still doesn’t need the key just in case I wanna walk around naked or fuck my man in the middle of the hallway.
“Why isn’t my key working?”
“Ugh, because I changed the locks.” She rolled her eyes and I stepped aside to let her in.
“Oh, you thought I’d assume we were friends because of our moment. Nah, we had something in common, got rid of the problem and now we’re back to oil and milk.”
“Must we do this? I stopped by to finish speaking about the reason I originally came for that day.” She took a seat on the couch.
“Mrs. Smith, I really don’t have the energy to argue and fight with you.”
“I know. Kenji told me I’m going to be a grandmother which is why I think we should try and start over.” I gave her the side eye.
“It’s going to be a little rough being we started off on the wrong foot.”
“We? No ma’am. It’s always been you.” She laughed shaking her head. I sat down on the loveseat across from her.
“I notice different furniture and did he paint again?”
“It’s different because when he kicked his ex out, you helped him redecorate. I wasn’t feeling it and he told me to do what I want since it’s my house.” I gave her the fake smile.
“You redid everything?” She questioned.
“Everything. What do I look like making love to my future husband in a bed his mama picked out?”
“Touché.”
“The pool is the only thing getting re done again and that’s because Robin was kind enough to explain the dirty deeds they indulged in, in it. Therefore, I wanted a new one and he’s letting me add a hot tub/ jacuzzi to it.” She nodded.
“I’m not saying this to be smart.” I sucked my teeth because it meant she was.
“He never let Robin have any say so in what he did with the house. Sure, she may have purchased a new comforter set or curtains, but he’s given you free range to do whatever.”
“That’s what good pussy does.”
“I agree with that. My husband will let me change and redecorate every month if I want.” I laughed because Kenji said his father was strung. If he ever cheated on his mom they never found out. He was too scared she kill or leave him.
“Look. I’m not trying to be your best friend or take the place of your mother or even foster mother.”
“You couldn’t because my real mother got high and you don’t do drugs. And my foster mother allowed her husband to violate me so he wouldn’t disclose her addiction to pain pills.” She turned her face up.
“Exactly! I go from a street drug user as a real mom to an addicted to pain pills one. I’m good on mothers.” I shrugged my shoulders and tucked my feet underneath as I watched her try and find the right words to say.
“Anything else?”
“Yea. I brought this as a gift to call it a truce and starting over.” She pulled this small black jewelry looking box out her big ass Celine tote pocketbook.
“You didn’t have to buy me anything.”
“I didn’t.” She handed it to me.
“WOW! I can’t accept this.” I closed it up and handed it back. It was a diamond necklace with matching earrings and a bracelet. I mean it had to cost well over 100k at least.
“You can and you will.” She put it back on my lap.
“It was my mother’s and she wanted me to pass it on to my sons’ wife. Since we know there’s no way in hell Rodney is marrying a woman, it belongs to you.”
“What about your daughter?”
“Chile please. That g
irl is spoiled beyond spoiled. My mother has given her so much jewelry we had to buy a safe just for those pieces alone.”
“Mrs. Smith isn’t this a little overboard?”
“Not at all. It’s a set and it’ll go nice with the outfit you’re wearing to your sisters party.” I looked up at her.
“Rodney went online and showed me the dress.”
“He knows about this?” I pointed to the jewelry.
“Of course he does. He’s the one who reminded me that I had to do it.”
“Wait a minute. Robin was engaged to Kenji at one point. Did you offer this to her?”
“HELL NO!” I was shocked she shouted.
“I may have given you a hard time about her but she was never marriage material. Shit, the day Kenji proposed, and the stupid bitch told me I could plan the entire wedding, I knew she wasn’t right for him. She did anything I said and showed her weakness any chance she got.”
“Umm ok.”
“You’re like me.” I looked at her.
“Not bougie but you’re definitely a woman who demands respect and won’t let my son run all over you. You embraced Kenji during a break up and not once forced him to put a title on what you had going on. You were his before he said it and I think it’s why he fell even harder for you. There was no pressure and when he needed peace, you gave it to him.” I felt my eyes becoming glassy.
“He’s in love with you Nyana and I apologize for making your relationship harder than it had to be. I also appreciate how you were going to back away just to make sure he didn’t disassociate himself from family. It takes a strong woman to let go of someone she really loves to keep his family in his life.”
“I don’t know what to say.” I used the knuckles of my index fingers to stop the tears from actually falling.
“Just say I can plan the baby shower.”
“I wasn’t going to have one but be my guest. But you won’t be planning my wedding. That’s for me and me only.”
“Fine.” She started pouting which made me laugh.
“At least I let you do the baby shower.”
“What about the bridal shower?”
“My sisters are doing it.” She sucked her teeth.
“Don’t worry. You’ll have more than enough time to handle your daughters’ proms, graduations and wedding. Plus, Rodney’s going to want a baby shower when the adoption goes through. Trust me, you’ll have a lot to do.” She smiled and reached over to hug me. It lingered for a minute like she didn’t wanna let go. When she did, I saw the sincerity in her face and I needed that. I had to know she wasn’t just tryna save face and be cool to appease Kenji.
“I’m going to go. I have to start preparing for the baby shower.” I shook my head laughing.
“Ma what you doing here?” Kenji asked coming through the door.
“I had to drop something off to Nyana.” He glanced over at me and I lifted the box.
“Is that what I think it is?” His mom smiled and hugged him.
“Thanks ma. It means a lot that you gave it to her.” She ran her hand down his face.
“I know. I love you son.” They embraced one more time before she left.
“You know she’s gonna try and plan something now that y’all on a speaking level.” He said.
“I told her she could do the baby shower but the wedding is all me.”
“How did I get so lucky in finding you?” He said and lifted me in his arms.
“I feel like the lucky one.” He took me in the room and made love to me all night. Thank you God for sending him to me.
Kerron
“Where the fuck are those two bitches?” I tossed my phone on the bed.
I was staying with this new bitch I started fucking because somehow Kenji found out about me at the motel and the car I was driving. I swore the cops were gonna catch me. I ran my ass off and ended up on the other side of the highway from the woods. I threw my shirt on the ground and walked down the street with just my jeans and shoes. If the cops had a description of my clothes when I ran out the car, they wouldn’t think twice about a shirtless man.
In any case, I haven’t spoken to Robin or Lizzie in a long time, which leads me to believe either they bounced or met their demise like everyone else I knew. Can you believe Kenji killed damn near my entire family? Sade isn’t even his bitch but I guess since Nyana and her are sisters, he had to do something. The shit doesn’t make any kind of sense to me. Whatever the reason, I’m gonna make sure Sade suffers before I take my last breath.
“You ok babe?” Laura asked coming out the bathroom. Yup the mayor’s daughter.
When she initially came on to me, I wasn’t interested because I was working. I had no idea if she wanted me or trying to take me under. With all the shit Sade started and the murder of Monique, my ass had to be extremely cautious. Everyone was suspect.
The day I was suspended she called me a few times and I ignored her. Robin was with me that night and honestly, I didn’t need sympathy. She called again the next day and I answered. The invite to her house was accepted because I knew fucking her could be useful with her father if needed. He’d never want his daughter with someone like me, nor did he need his name attached to mine. It was a win, win situation for me.
“I’m ok. You know what I want.” She dropped the towel and walked over to me. I’m not into white women but I don’t discriminate either. Surprisingly, her sex and head are pretty good and she allows me to do whatever.
“What the fuck?” I grabbed her up by the hair and stared in her face.
“You pregnant?” Soon as the tears fell, I knew she was.
“I thought you were on birth control.” I barked.
“I stopped taking them. Kerron, I want a baby and...”
“And you know people are looking for me so why would I want a kid out here who can’t be raised by me?” I fell back on the bed and used my arm to cover my eyes.
“Don’t worry. My father knows and he brought me a house in the boondocks. That way no one will ever find us and we can live freely. Don’t you wanna stop being cooped up in the house?” I turned my head toward her and smiled.
“I do but...”
“But nothing Kerron. Let me finish making you happy and we can pack up and leave this place forever.”
“What about your job?”
“Daddy only gave me the job because he wanted me to work.”
“So you’ll walk away with no money?” She smirked.
“I have a trust fund Kerron and my dad can’t wait to have grandkids. He’ll do whatever to keep me happy.” She hopped on top and finished making me happy like she said.
I thought about Sade in the midst of us having sex and started fucking Laura harder. She enjoyed it and gave it right back to me. Maybe being with her won’t be so bad and I can pop back up in a few months to get Sade when things die down.
***********************
“Two shots of Henny.” I told the bartender.
After Laura and I had sex, we did like she said and packed up. She called her father and told him if he wanted to see her, he’d have to drive because she wasn’t returning. At first, he tried to make her stay but eventually, gave in.
The house was in a secluded area and even though houses were around, it was pretty quiet. Laura and I had sex all over the house and even on the back porch once. It made me feel like I could be a father and raise a child out here. Nobody bothering us and living freely like she said but then the thought of Sade being happy doesn’t sit right with me either. I think that once I kill her, I’ll be fine.
“Sure.” The lady smiled and winked.
“Let me get two shots of patron and one shot of Henny.” Some guy asked standing next to me. His whole appearance reeked drug dealer or someone who did illegal shit.
“What up?” He spoke, waited for his drinks and went back to where his people were. I have to admit; the women were gorgeous sitting with them. One kept her attention on me, and I had no problem entertaining her ba
ck.
“Excuse me.” The same woman bumped into me at the bar.
“Never a need to excuse someone as beautiful as you.” She blushed.
“You have a man?” I asked and pointed to the table of people she moved away from. None of them paid her any mind.
“No. You have a woman?”
“I’m fucking if that’s what you wanna know.” I never asked Laura to be my woman so I’m as single as a dollar bill.
“Can we go outside to talk? It’s very loud in here.” I paid my tab at the bar and walked behind her. The way her ass moved in then jeans had me grabbing my dick. Laura didn’t have a big ass at all and I missed smacking one and watching it jiggle.
“What’s your name?” She asked leaning on the wall.
“Kerron is my name.”
“Just the man we’ve been looking for.” I heard someone say behind me and noticed the same guy who ordered from the bar not too long ago. His friends were standing next to him.
“Why you looking for me?” I asked backing away from the chick who now had a grin on her face.
“You’ve been a hard man to find but pussy always has a way to distract a man. The crazy part about that is, you’ll never touch this one.” The chick leaned up and he tongued her down.
“A’ight y’all damn.” Some guy said and walked over to me.
“You wanna walk or do we have to drag you?”
“Who are you and what do you want?” The other guy laughed.
“You may have heard of us. Were the Banks family from Jersey.” The guy said tying my hands together.
“The Banks family?” I repeated what he said.
“Yea but I’m the one they call the reaper.” My eyes grew when he said that. Every law enforcement in the country has heard of this man but why is he here for me?
“So you like to beat on women, huh?”
“Sade.” I said to myself and went to accept my fate. How the hell did she even know these people and then it dawned on me. Kenji is behind all of this.
Kenji
“Where the fuck you think you’re going in that shit?” I barked at Nyana when she walked down the steps.
The black dressed hugged every curve and at two and a half months pregnant, I saw a small pouch and smiled. It didn’t stop me from staring at the rest of the outfit. The stilettos and jewelry my mom gave her went well together, but the way her hair flowed down her back and the smile on her face made it all worth it. My fiancé was beautiful.
