Chapter 197 Essence's Apartment: “Lala, you didn't tell us how fine that man is, and he appreciates good cooking too.” Eula's sister said from in the kitchen as they watched Thomas eating his second plate of food. As soon as they got back her sisters had plates ready for all the boys, they wanted to make sure they were fed and rested so when they find out where Essence was, they would be ready to do what they need to do. “Why should I have told you, about how fine that married man is.” Eula said shaking her head. They all looked at her telling her, that him being married don't change the fact that that man was fine. “So how are you holding up?” her older sister Perlina asked sitting next to Eula at the table. Perlina was the oldest of the sisters, essentially like a mother to them all. “I don't know my mind and my heart are racing, she's my baby girl and she is out there all alone without any of us.” Eula said as she let her tears fall. “I know, but you have t
Chapter 198Essence's Apartment: He didn't want to cause her anymore stress the audio he heard had him wanting to kill the guy. So he knew how her brothers and momma were going to react. “Auntie I don't think it's a good idea to listen, just know she’s alive.” J. R. said hoping that him telling them that much would be enough. “Nephew, please don't make me go in my pocketbook. Now I want to hear my baby's voice to hear for myself that she is still…. just play the audio.” Eula said, sitting down next to him, her sons surrounding her eager to hear their sister’s voice. Syncere went to stand on the other side of J. R. wanting to hear Essence's voice just a bad as her brothers. Thomas stood behind his son and Shawn stood beside him with Kymoni standing in front of him, he had his arms wrapped around her tightly for support. Sighing, J. R. played the audio with Essence in it. The audio was from when she was confronted by Unique's second in command. They heard when
Chapter 199Essence's Apartment: He didn't have the patience to deal with his mother right now. “Me wanting you out of here is also because I don't want anything to happen to you. Why are you doing all this, you’re putting career and your life on the line for what Syncere? Why are you doing all this, none of this is your fault, you don't have to do this.” “Mom, please just stop! I’m doing this because….I'm doing this because I love her. I love her with everything in me, and I can't lose her.” Syncere said admitting it out loud for the very first time, and it felt good to finally admit it to everyone that mattered. “So you lied to me, I asked you if you were breaking up with me because of her and you said no. Why would you lie to me? You threw everything we had away for her.” Jazz said crying from the doorway. “Jazz it wasn't like that, we had decided to take it slow, so we could make sure of what we really wanted. I never wanted to hurt you in anyw
Chapter 200Essence's apartment: “Oh you just making all kinds of mistakes today, I am not my sister she is entirely too nice.” Shanda said removing her earrings. Panky was being booster cables, by holding her earrings excitedly, wanting Shanda to put that bitch on the floor. Perlina grabbed Shanda snatching her back, and pushing her into the kitchen. “I will advise you to leave this house, because you can't seem to stop writing checks your behind can't cash.” Perlina said, holding Shanda in a bear hug as she cursed like a sailor. “Fine we'll leave, and since I can't get my husband and son to come willingly, I will go directly to the police to press charges on you for attacking me at the luncheon earlier. Plus I will tell them what is going on here, if my husband doesn't want to protect his wife and her career then I will have to do it for the both of us. Syncere, I know you're angry, but what I am doing is not just protecting me and my career and yours. Pl
Chapter 201Essence's apartment: “HEY! UNIQUE’S SIGNAL JUST DROPPED THAT MEANS HE HAS ENTERED HIS TERRITORY!” Martrice, yelled as soon as his alerts went off. “Alright everybody, it's show time, call in the rest of the cousins.” Big C said to Reece. “So it's more people than this?” Syncere asked looking at all the people crowding in the apartment. Big C smiled nodding his head. “Yea a lot more, my granny had ten children and that's our momma's mom. Our daddy's dad had sixteen children, and they all had children. So yea there is a lot more, it only takes one call, this dude will realize he picked the wrong girl to fuck with.” Big C said as his smile turned into something that gave Syncere goosebumps. “So how far are we away from them? Do you have a satellite visual of the neighborhood, what about civilians? Do we need to send a team to clear the area out?” Kain asked as Martrice walked to the Kitchen to lay out the map of the city. “Hey, stop acting like
Chapter 102The not so unknown place: “Where the hell you been, we didn't sign up to baby sit your pets. Especially when your refuse to tell us what the hell your planning, and is someone going to be looking for a missing girl from a popular college. This could expose us if her family starts searching for her. If they get on any new station making it public, we could lose everything.” Unique's second Derrick said. “Don't worry about it, I handled her family. They think she was so humiliated being accused of drugging their star player that she probably ran away. In the next hour, someone will text Kymoni saying that she needed time to deal with everything and that she was ok.” Unique said, smiling at the thought of what he did while he was at the mall. After buying Essence a ring, clothes, and sexy lingerie, he went and brought a burner phone. He got some random kid and gave him instruction on what to text Kymoni. He paid a kid a hundred dollars, the kid eagerly took the
Chapter 203 Give me my child: “Hello family, what brings you all the way over here? You should have called first I could have offered a warmer welcome.” Unique said smiling calmly. “Sister, is he really talking that dumb shit thinking we're stupid enough to fall for it" Panky said looking Unique in the eyes so he know ain't no scare bitches over their way. “I don't think we had the pleasure of meeting earlier.” Unique said, looking at Panky. “I can assure you pleasure will be the last thing you will think when you have to deal with me, lil boy.” Panky said, staring at him with no fear at all. “Listen, young man I know you have my daughter, all I’m asking is for you to give me my child. If you do that then we’ll leave without causing you trouble or burning everything you seem to have worked very hard to accomplish.” Eula said, calmly, she wanted to find out if she could get him to let Essence go without bloodshed. Unique laughed out loud shaking his
Chapter 204 Give me my child: Continued “We need to send someone to get Essence out of the house.” Kain said as they heard bullets flying. “OH GOD! I think Kiki snuck away when she where they were taking Essence.” Perlina said, afraid for the little girl that they thought of as their gamily too. “WHAT! WHICH WAY DID SHE GO!?” Kain yelled angrily. Perlina pointed to the back of the house. “I AM GOING TO KILL HER MYSELF!” Shawn said angrily, as he jumped out of the van before Syncere's father could catch him to stop him. This isn't the first time he had seen gun fire in the street he was New Jersey and not the rich part either. “GOD DAMNIT SHAWN GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE!” Thomas said as he fired his weapon at a man who up high tracking Shawn's movement. “Don't worry I got him.” Briana said, as she grabbed an AR-fifteen and ran behind Shawn. Big C was taking cover behind their SUV. “ALRIGHT ENOUGH OF THIS SHIT TAKEM OUT NOW!” Big C yelled into his ear piece, as s
Chapter 243 Essence's hospital room: Continued Everyone turned to see Jazz screaming dropping to her knees. “Now why the fuck is she screaming.” Kymoni said barely able to hold in her excitement. She was shock to say the least, she had no idea that her best friend was pregnant. Essence didn't have any symptoms, she played all the games from homecoming. “See Syncere, I told you we should have left, now you can forget about all of this and focus on your baby with Jazz. All this explains why that Unique fellow is doing all of this, she was obviously sleeping with him.” Sharon said, and Jazz's eyes widen in shock and her tears dried up hearing Syn's mother tell everyone that Unique was the father. “Yea, that has to be it, she was seeing him during the competition and they seem really close. Anyone could tell that they were sleeping together.” Jazz said, getting up, standing next to Sharon. “See, I'm starting to think these two have the mind of goldfish becau
Chapter 242 Essence's hospital room: “Now that everyone is settle, I just finish surgery on Miss Nelson, and she is alive….but…” was all Dr. Angelic said before the door slammed open and armed men stormed inside. The brothers and uncles had their guns drawn at the men, and the sisters all pulled wooden paddles from some where no one knew where and really didn't want to know. “Guns down now; I am Gina Waters the director of the Federal Bureau of investigation. I am looking for the head of the Nelson family!” The woman said with authority. Oh shit, we about to go to the big jail not the little one.” Kymoni whispered as her heart race, because she knew she couldn't do jail without Essence. “I am the head of the Nelson family, why can I help you with?” Big C stepped up making his momma proud, ever since her husband died she had to be the head of the family. Her oldest son always said he will be glad when he was old enough to take away some of her burd
Chapter 241Destine for Jail: Continued “I’m pregnant and you just attacked me, you're trying to kill my baby because Syncere is the father. You can be mad at us all you want but don't try to hurt our baby, he's innocent.” Jazz said crying trying to bury herself in Syncere's arms but he blocked her. “You filthy fat bitch, how dare you put your fat ass hands on my daughter and grandbaby.” Judge Taylor said walking over to Kymoni intending to return the slap, but Eula and her sister stepped up block her path. “Oh we not doing that, take your ass right on out of my baby's room. Control you daughter then maybe she won't get the Mario coins slapped outta her. We always say your face ain't pregnant.” Eula said, crossing her arms over her chest, waiting for a reason to get rid of the feelings she had built up. “Don't worry I will be pressing charges, you have no idea I am, I make sure you spend the maximum number of years behind bars.” Judge Taylor said pul
Hospital parking garage: Chapter 240 “Where is your phone what number did, he call you from?” Martrice asked checking Thomas's coat. “You won't find anything in it, because he didn't contact me directly. He contacted my daughter, and you can't get to her because her and my wife are long gone. They left hours ago, I don't know where, because I told my wife to pick a place and wait for me. I was supposed to meet them at the airport. I told them if I don't show up by the time the plane is set to leave, they are to leave without me.” Doctor Thomas said, with confidence. “Well I can tell you, that sucks for you, because if you can't give us anything then we can hand you over to the police.” Kain, said as the docs eyes widen, in fear. “Wait a minute, I think he could still be of some use to us. He has several miss calls, I bet this is his wife and daughter. I can heck their phones now and get a trace on where they are heading.” Martrice, said as he pulled his laptop o
Chapter 239Meanwhile at the airport: “Shouldn’t dad be here by now? Our flight leaves in thirty minutes.” Jazz said looking around hoping to see her father in the crowd. “I don't know, he should have at least called, maybe I should call him.” Judge Taylor said turning on her phone, before she could make a call and alert flashed cross her phone. “Breaking News, there has been a deadly mass shooting at Florida General hospital. The police have not confirmed how many are dead but, sources are saying that it was a complete blood bath.” The news woman said her face looking sad, as people were running around behind her trying to escape from the hospital. “Oh God, please no. no, no, no, come on Raymond please pick up.” Judge Taylor said as she tried to dial her husband's number with shaking hands. Her worry tripled when it went to voicemail. “Mom please tell me daddy's ok, this is all my fault. Oh God Syn is there too, he could be dead. I have to call him, please
Chapter 238 In the Van: “Yes, I have the asset, but there has been a problem, there were casualties. The men we hired are assumed dead, the police are involved. I don't think it's a good idea to continue to provide services. It’s getting too close to becoming public. If they connect us to this situation, it could ruin everything.” The masked person said. As the van they were in made hard turns trying to make sure they weren't followed. Unique sat in the back of the van holding a lifeless Derrick. He didn't know that his death would affect him in this way. They had been together since he first got to Florida, but once he had hurt Essence, he had planned to kill him, especially after learning he was the reason she was fighting for her life. “You cheated me out of killing you myself for what you did to Essence. I wanted to be the one to take you out, and they robbed me of that. I will kill them for what they've done. This is signed that me and Essence need to sta
Chapter 237Back inside the hospital: “Where is she? Where is my baby?” Eula, asked her sons as they filed into Essence's room. Once the air was cleared, the nurses came and escorted them back to Essence's room. They didn't have any answers to give her about her daughter. They were all trying to grasp what had happened, the janitors were cleaning up the mess and patching up the window Big C shot. “Momma by the time we got to her, she…. She wasn't… She wasn't breathing. We don't know for how long, we don't know anything at this point, all we know is that we weren't prepared for this kind of open attack. Once we got to her, we carried her down to the ICU floor and Doctor Angelic took her into surgery.” Kain said, as tears fell down his face. Shawn and Kymoni came through the door, Kymoni was looking lost like she didn't know where she was, she was silent, but her tears were flowing unchecked down her face, as Shawn guided her to a chair in the corner
Chapter 236The Hospital Enterance “Unk, there are two heading to the parking garage, leaving from the access elevator. Can you guys try and cut them off. Be prepared one of them has tear gas, more than one canister, it looks like that have an unlimited amount. There could be more men lying in wait, so keep an eye out.” Big C said in his ear piece. “Don't worry about these old fools, we have endured shit more lethal than tear gas.” Uncle Bubba said. “Just because we have endured it don't mean we liked it. Tear gas ain't fun, our eyes were red for a month when those cops sprayed us down with tear gas at that protest.” Uncle Ron said to his brother. “Would yall be quiet what’s the use of trying to sneak up on them and not letting them know we're coming, if yall going to run your mouth the entire time.” Their Uncle Junior whispered yell as he checked his guns making sure the safety were off his guns. “Just, cover your faces if they have tear gas let's expect them to toss them
Chapter 235Getting to Essence: Continued The pain instantly grew, causing Syncere to pause and try to cover his eyes. Then the first shot echoed in the air giving everyone pause. Big C and his brother all pulled their weapon immediately and took cover. Big C knew they had to find a way to even the playing field. He pointed at the windows in the hospital and fired six rounds, breaking the windows. The instant the windows broke the fog was sucked out almost immediately. As soon as he looked at the sprinklers, Martrice had already turned them on, he was behind the nurse’s station using his Hi-tech watch. He loved that his family knew what to do without him saying a word. When he looked again, he was able to see the armed men moving as a unit trying to block their path to Unique. He also saw Shawn running towards them with Kymoni covering Essence protectively. He knew he had to get his sister help, they didn't have time to fight this battle. Essence wasn't brea
