Serenity ran into the kitchen and chased after her dad while he chased after Asia. The trio laughed and screamed as they had fun. Asia was originally supposed to come over and have a tea party with Serenity, but the plan changed once she showed up.
The doorbell rang, interrupting their fun for the moment.
“Saved by the bell,” Asia said as she tried to catch her breath.
Knowledge laughed as he went to the door to see who it was. He was surprised to see Courtney standing there when he opened the door.
“Hey, Courtney. What’s up?” Knowledge asked.
“I called you like three times, but you didn’t answer,” she said just as Wysdom started crying.
“Yea, I’m a little busy,” he said as he looked behind him, just as Asia walked past the door to go check on Wysdom.
Courtney was shocked to see Asia, especially in Knowledge’s house. The last time she had seen her was at the hospital and the two of them weren’t even on good terms. Remembering the conversation that she and Knowledge had back in Fiji, she started to feel a certain way about her being around.
“Hey, um…what was your name?” Asia asked as she walked over to the door.
“Courtney,” Courtney said dryly.
Asia chuckled. “Lose the attitude, lil mama. I’m not threatened by you, so you damn sure shouldn’t feel threatened by me.”
“Excuse me?” Courtney asked.
“Chill, A. Go see what Serenity done got herself into,” Knowledge said.
“No, how about we go see what Serenity has gotten herself into,” Asia said.
“Asia,” Knowledge said sternly.
Asia just rolled her eyes as she walked away. She had to remember that she and Knowledge weren’t even like that, but Courtney had rubbed her wrong since day one when she was staring and smirking at her at the hospital. Her phone vibrated, letting her know she had a text message. Looking down at her phone she saw that it was her brother.
Symir: My house in twenty.
She texted him back, letting him know that she was on her way before she started packing Wysdom’s diaper bag. She had just turned down the hall to go to the den when she was pulled back by her arm and lightly thrown against the wall.
“Why you gotta be so jealous? I thought you were cool?” Knowledge asked.
Asia couldn’t answer him even if she wanted. His body was pressed against hers and his face was so close to hers that if she even tried to talk, her lips would end up touching his. She tried to push him back, but she couldn’t because he was stronger and he pressed his body into her even more. Asia rolled her eyes as he smirked devilishly at her.
“What, cat got your tongue?” he smiled.
Sighing, she said to hell with it. “Move, Omari…” before she could finish, he lightly kissed her lips. “I have to goooo,” she said in a moan even though she didn’t mean to.
“Where you going? We were having fun. Let’s have some more fun, Asia,” Knowledge said as he trailed kisses down her neck, moving his hand up her shirt.
Asia was confused. She didn’t know if she should stop him or not. It had been too long since he had touched her like that. Or any man, for that matter, she thought as she felt his hand grab her right breast. Knowledge smiled as he sucked on her neck when he felt her shudder and let out a low moan. He used his hand to slide under her bra and play with her nipple.
Unconsciously, Asia let her head go to the side which gave him better access to her neck. Knowledge took a break from sucking on her neck to look at her. Her eyes were closed and her mouth was slightly open. He used his thumb and pointer finger to pinch and play with her nipple.
“I miss you, Asia. Tell me you miss me,” he said before biting her neck.
When Asia felt his dick through his shorts, her eyes sprang open and realization of what was going on snapped her out of the trance he had her in.
“No, Omari, stop!” she said as she pushed him back and fixed her bra. “You’ll never learn, will you?” she shook her head.
“What the hell are you talking about, Asia?” Knowledge asked, frustrated.
“This,” she pointed between the two of them. “That shit you just pulled was foul and you know it. I guess I’m going to have to stop coming over because it’s always some shit with you. I played your number two once. But I’m not about to do it again willingly,” she spat.
“Asia, this is totally different and you know it!” Knowledge yelled. “How the fuck are we supposed to move on from that shit if you keep bringing it up?”
“How is it different, Omari? Your bitch just left here not even five minutes ago, but you’re in here trying to fuck me?” she asked with a raised eyebrow. When he didn’t say anything, she chuckled and shook her head. “Exactly. It’s a never ending cycle with you.”
Knowledge was about to say something, but Serenity running out of the den stopped him. He had forgotten all about her being there in the first place.
“Daddy, sister stinky,” Serenity said as she fanned her nose.
“I got it. We have to go anyways.” Asia said as she walked to the den.
“Where the hell are you going? We’re not done having this conversation.”
Asia rolled her eyes as she continued to walk. “Obviously, we are,” she said.
Knowledge stood there glaring at Asia as she changed Wysdom. This was the second time she’d gotten his dick hard to just leave him hanging. He didn’t see what the problem with her was. He and Courtney weren’t even in a relationship. He wasn’t committed to anybody this time around, so he couldn’t understand why Asia was tripping.
After Asia got done changing Wysdom, she propped her up on her hip before walking over to Knowledge and telling Wysdom to give him a kiss. Knowledge took his daughter out of her arms but continued to glare at her.
Asia ignored him and went to the kitchen to throw the diaper away. Serenity and Knowledge followed her into the living room where she took Wysdom from her dad and strapped her in her car seat.
“Bye, Serenity,” Asia said as she kissed her cheeks as she giggled.
“Bye, Asia. Bye, sister,” Serenity said as she kissed her sister.
Asia got up to walk to the front door but Knowledge stopped her.
“So I don’t get a bye?” he asked.
Asia sighed. “Bye, Knowledge,” she said before walking to the door.
Knowledge laughed. He knew Asia only called him Knowledge when she was mad at him. He knew like hell she wasn’t going to let her attitude put them back at square one because he wasn’t having that this time around.

Asia pulled up to her brother’s house and grabbed Wysdom’s car seat of the car. She half-expected her to be asleep, but not this time. She was looking at her wide-eyed as she sucked on her pacifier.
“Hey, mommy baby. Let’s go see what your big head uncle wants.”
Wysdom gave a little smile like she knew what Asia was saying. Before Asia could even knock on the door, Anika was swinging it open.
“Give me my baby,” she said as she took Wysdom from her.
“Well, dang. I’m good. How are you?” Asia joked.
“Whatever,” Anika laughed. “Your brother is in his office.”
Asia smiled as she walked up the stairs to her brother’s office. She was happy that he and Nika were back to the loving couple that they used to be. She would be having her baby in the next two months and she needed to have her ass home. Now all that was left to do was have that serious talk they needed to have.
“Shut the door. You’re late,” Symir said without looking up from the papers he was looking at.
“I’m sorry, I got a little caught up,” Asia said as she sat in the chair in front of his desk.
Symir looked up at his sister and shook his head. “Does it have something to do with that hickey on your neck?” he asked with a smirk.
“What?” Asia yelled as her hand flew to the spot on her neck that Knowledge had been kissing, biting and sucking on.
/> She got up and rushed to the mirror that was hanging on the wall. Sure enough, there was a big red and purple hickey on her neck. “I’m going to kill him,” she mumbled.
“So I take it you and Knowledge are back sleeping together?” Symir asked with a raised eyebrow.
“Not at all, brother. He caught me off guard and wouldn’t let me up,” she told him truthfully.
“Not that you put up that big of a fight, huh?” he guessed.
“Mir,” Asia whined. She felt weird talking to her brother about her sex life. Even if they were both grown and super close, she still didn’t feel right talking to her brother about stuff like that. Symir on the other hand, he held nothing back when he talked to Asia.
“Okay, I’ll chill.” Symir laughed before turning back serious. “But I called you over here because I’ve been doing some thinking and there’s a few things that I want to run by you,” he said as he grabbed one of the papers and gave it to her.
Asia read over the papers and her eyes damn near bucked out of her head when she read what the paper was. “Five million dollars?” she yelled.
“I know I’m late, but happy twenty-first birthday from pops,” Symir laughed.
“Wait, how the hell is this even possible?” she asked.
“Dad had some money saved up for both of us. Everything he had went to us and our mothers. They have their cut already but we weren’t allowed to get ours until out twenty-first birthdays. When them niggas took you and I thought you were dead, I was prepared to give it all to Symare and Wysdom. You caught me off guard when you showed up on your birthday, so I forgot to give it to you,” Symir explained.
Asia didn’t even attempt to fight back the tears that were falling. She was overcome with emotions. Even from the grave, her daddy was looking out for her. She didn’t know what she was going to do with all this money.
“Aw, stop crying, you big baby.” Symir smiled.
“You’re right, you’re right,” Asia laughed as she wiped her tears.
“There’s something else I wanted to talk to you about,” he said.
“Talk to me,” Asia said as she got herself together.
“I think…no, I know, I want to pass the throne down. I’m about to be a married man, about to have my second child, and on top of that, I’m sitting on more than enough money.”
“Wow, Mir. Are you serious?” Asia asked, astonished.
“Yea, so serious that I even talked to Vinny about it. He said he trusts us, so whoever we pick, he’ll be happy to do business with.”
Asia nodded her head. “So who do you pick?” she asked.
“Mickey. I asked Khy and he said he didn’t want it. Knowledge said he wouldn’t feel right taking over something I worked hard to build and he’s only been down for a year, so the next best person is Mickey,” Symir told her.
“I agree, Mickey has been down and loyal since day one so I have no doubts that he’ll do right by it. So when are you going to take him to meet with Vinny?” she asked.
“Actually, Vinny’s already here in The States. He said he wanted me to talk with you first, then meet up with him.”
Asia smiled. “So this is really it, huh? Your passing down the throne?” she asked.
“Hell yea, I’m good. I’m not a greedy nigga, so I’m content with the money I have. But you know Mickey’s going to be just as hard on you as I was if you ever feel like you want to get your hands dirty?” he asked.
“Oh, no worries. I vowed to leave that life alone when I found out I was pregnant with Wysdom,” Asia assured him.
“Good, just wanted to make sure. Now that that’s out of the way, do you have some time to kick it with your brother? I mean, you’ve been back a month now and have spent time with everyone but me.” Symir faked an attitude.
“Awww, brother, you know I’ll always have time for you. You’re the number one man in my life besides my son,” Asia said as she got up and kissed her brother on his cheek.
Symir was happy. It seemed as if everything in his life was going well. In two months, he would have his junior he always wanted, then after that he could marry the love of his life and be completely out of the game.
Chapter Twenty Six
Mickey pulled up a Symir’s house ten minutes earlier than he was expected. He didn’t know what was going on besides the fact that Symir asked him to ride with him to a meeting he was having.
“Hey, Mickey,” Anika said as she opened the door for him.
“Hey, Nika. How are you?” Mickey asked as the two hugged.
“I would be fine if this little boy didn’t feel like he had to move so much,” she said, rubbing her bed belly.
“Ah, the joys of being a mother,” Mickey joked.
“Yea, I guess so,” she laughed. “Mir is in the den. Go ahead on in.”
When Mickey reached the den, Symir was in what looked like an intense conversation with Sasha. She was rumbling off something real fast and all Symir could do was nod his head up and down.
“Okay, daddy?” she asked.
“Yea, anything for you, baby girl,” Symir said.
“Hey, Uncle Mickey!” Sasha said excitedly.
“Hey, lil mama. What’s up?”
“Oh, yes. Saved by the uncle. Come on man,” Symir said as he jumped up.
“Don’t forget, daddy,” Sasha warned him.
“Of course not,” Symir sighed. “That girl just gave me a list as long as the constitution on what she wanted for her birthday.”
“It is about that time of the year, huh?” Mickey laughed.
“Hell yea, and I have three months to make it happen. You know what baby girl wants, baby girl gets.” Symir smiled.
“Y’all gone?” Anika asked as she waddled out of the kitchen.
“Yea, I’ll be back later,” Symir said before kissing her lips then bending down to kiss her stomach.
Thirty minutes later, the guys pulled up the Italian restaurant Ristorante Fratelli Milano. Just like Vinny to wanna meet at an Italian restaurant, Symir thought as he parked his truck. Mickey looked at Symir with a questioning look, but still didn’t speak on it.
Realization of what was going on finally hit Mickey when they walked into the restaurant and he saw Vinny seated at one of the tables eating. He shoot Symir a knowing look and Symir just smirked in return.
“You just couldn’t wait for us, huh Vinnito?” Symir asked as he walked to the table where Vinny’s guards stood posted up.
“Ah, my favorite American people. Please excuse my manners,” Vinny said as he got up and embraced both men.
“It’s cool, Vinny. I’m just messing with you,” Symir said.
“So Symir, I know we have talked about this before, but I just want to make sure this is really what you want to do,” Vinny said.
“I’m sure, Vinny. As a matter of fact, I’m so sure that I brought Mekal with me since he’s going to be the one taking over when I’m done,” Symir smiled proudly.
Mickey tried hard to hold back the smile that was threatening to appear on his face. He couldn’t believe it. Symir had been throwing hints around lately that he wanted to get out of the game and settle down, but he didn’t think he was serious. But to know that he was in fact serious and he was giving him his family’s business actually meant a lot to him.
The three men discussed business and how things were going to go when Symir officially stepped down. Mickey left that meeting looking forward to what was to come in his near future.
Chapter Twenty Seven
Two months later
Everyone was congregating over at Symir’s house so they could head out to the club. Today Symir had officially stepped down and handed everything over to Mickey. As bad as Anika wanted to go, she couldn’t. She was nine months pregnant and two weeks away from her due date.
“What are we waiting on?” Cole asked.
“Asia,” Symir answered.
“I thought she wasn’t going? You know she don’t do the club thing,” Knowledge said.<
br />
“She wasn’t going to, but changed her mind at the last minute,” Symir said.
“Aye, Nika, you sure you don’t mind us leaving the kids here? That’s four kids you have to look after while being nine months pregnant,” Khyree asked.
“It’s cool, Khy. Plus, Mama is on her way with Sasha. So I won’t be by myself. They’ll be here to help me out,” Anika assured him just as Symare ran into the living room.
“What I tell you about that running, Symare?” they heard Asia yelling after him.
“Hey, pops!” Symare said as he gave his dad some dap.
“Khyree, please get your son before I beat him,” Asia said as she walked into the room.
When she looked up from her phone, she realized that all eyes were on her, literally. She looked around at everybody trying to figure out what the hell they were staring at.
“What?” she asked.
“Bitch, you showing out tonight, huh?” Patience asked as she observed Asia.
Asia had on some thigh high peep toe boots, a red shirt that stopped just above her boots, black lipstick and her hair was curled into a cute style.
“Where the fuck is your clothes?” Symir barked.
“What?” Asia looked down at her outfit. “I have clothes on, Mir. My shirt is just covering my shorts,” Asia said as she lifted her shirt, showing off some little black shorts that looked more like some boyshort panties.
“Nah, see, you’re not going anywhere with me like that. You’re going to make me have to body a nigga tonight,” Symir huffed.
He hated the fact that his baby sister was grown now. He knew he didn’t have the right to tell her how to dress, but that didn’t stop him from doing it. No matter how old she got, she would always be his baby sister to him. The fact that she was beautiful as fuck and had a nice figure made everything even worse.
Even though Courtney was sitting there with him, Knowledge couldn’t keep his eyes off Asia. She had always been sexy to him, but this new look she was rocking just did something to him. She was the true definition of grown and sexy.
“Well, since Knowledge can’t knock you up, it looks like I’m putting one in your ass tonight,” Khyree joked.
