Chapter 154 Syncere and Shawn's apartment: Shawn and Syncere were pissed, they yanked their room doors open at the same time. “Are you expecting someone at the door?” Syncere asked as they both walked to the door to cuss out whoever decided to just pop up at their apartment. Syncere made it to the door first, he didn't even bother to look through the peep hole. “Who the fu..” Syncere was about to cuss whomever was at the door, but stopped himself just in time. His anger turned into shock and then surprise. “Mom, dad? What are you guys doing here? Why didn't you tell me you were coming down for a visit?” Syncere said, looking at his mother and father standing at his door smiling from ear to ear. "Do I need an invitation to visit my son?” “No I didn't say that, but a heads up letting me know you would be coming would have been nice.” Syncere said, still standing in the doorway. “Are you going to have all of us standing outside all night or are you going to
Chapter 155 Syncere and Shawn's apartment:A few minutes earlier:Essence and Kymoni: Syncere had gone to see who was at the door, he left Essence in his room promising that he would get rid of whoever it was and they were going to finish what he started. She thought to herself smiling at how mad he was when the door bell rung, but he has been gone for a hot minute. Essence wondered who could be out there. She went to the door and pressed her ear up to it to see if she could hear anything. She knew she was being nosey as hell, but oh well. A soft knock almost made Essence jump clean out of her skin, “Hey Essi are you in there alone?” Kymoni asked from the door. Snatching the door open, she pulled Kymoni into the room. “Bitch I damn near shitted myself, I was trying to be nosey, trying to hear what the hell is going on. Syncere said he was getting rid of whoever it was, but it's been a few minutes and he still isn't back yet.” “Shawn left too, I got tired
Chapter 155Syncere and Shawn's apartment:Syncere's Room: Syncere and Essence: “Hey, I'll book a pick up, when I get to Syncere's room.” Essence said as they walked back to the guys rooms. Essence could tell that her friend was hurting, and she didn't like it. She was tempted to go back and start checking them, but she held herself in check which took a lot of slow breathing. Essence sat down in Syncere's recliner tapping the screen of her phone so hard trying to schedule a car to pick them up, that Syncere thought it would crack. “What the hell are you doing, I am not letting you hop in a car with some stranger.” Syncere said as he took Essence's phone. “Syncere, you know we can't stay here, you already know your mom don’t like me and we can't let her know that we're together. You also know that I'm not letting Kymoni leave without me.” “Well I'll drop Kymoni off at her dorm room and we can go back to your place.” “Syncere, your parents are here as well as Shawn's paren
Chapter 156Shawn and Syncere's Living Room: Continued As soon as they entered the living room, everyone stopped talking to look at them. “Yea, our ride is a few minutes out, so we are just going to wait outside.” Essences said, making her way to the door, wanting to get out before Syncere's mom makes her cuss your out. Syncere hopped up blocking her way out. “What? No you’re not going to stand outside to wait for the car. You can wait in here until they get here, you have your notification on so you will get the alert when they are here.” Syncere said trying to guide her to a chair. "Syncere, son let them go if that's what they want to do. It's probably for the best, I'm sure they feel uncomfortable with Briana and Shawn's rekindling their relationship and talking about how you plan to get my future daughter-in-law back.” Syncere's mother said with a smirk. “See this is what we were trying to avoid, to say she's a politician she is way too invested in her
Chapter 157Essence's POV: Me and Kiki rode back to her dorm in silence, I know she needed the time to process her feelings. I wasn't worried, because I knew she would call me tomorrow and tell me everything that happened between her and Shawn. I was shocked myself, because I would have never thought that somebody would literally come back from the dead and be standing in Syncere and Shawn's door. That would have thrown my ass through a loop too, so I can get why Shawn was in a daze the whole time we were out there. From what I could gather was apparently Shawn and the dead girl grew up together and their parents thought they would be together and get married and start a family combining their families. I guess me being from the country I couldn't understand how all these mothers are in their kids’ lives to the point that they are literally controlling who their children is in a relationship with. I already know that Syncere's mother doesn't like me and she i
Chapter 158Thursday Morning: 8 am Syncere and Shawn's apartment: “Mother why are you at my house so earlier, we just got back from our five-a.m. practice, we are just trying to get some sleep before our first class at eleven.” Syncere groaned answering the phone, to his mother telling him that everyone was at their apartment waiting for them to come down so they could all go to breakfast. “Oh please son when we were your age, we could work a full day party until dawn and take a two-hour nap and repeat it all again the next day. Now you and Shawn hurry so we can get the rest of our day started, we have a lot of things we have to get done for Sunday’s Luncheon for Briana and Shawn.” His mother said before hanging up. Syncere groaned and rolled his eyes, he looked at his phone to check the time and groan when he saw that it was eight o’clock. Shawn knocked on his door and stuck his head in. “I take it your mother called you to, I swear I am regretting even answeri
Chapter 159The Pitt: Continued: “Son, what are you doing, we found a table for all of us over there. Why are you disturbing these people’s breakfast, don't be rude.” Syncere's mother said shattering the moment. Syncere rolled his eyes, in anger. He already didn't want to do this breakfast and now his mom is making it worse. “I was speaking to my…my friends, yall can go ahead to the table and I will be over in a few.” Syncere said getting comfortable in the booth moving closer to Essence. “What's up Kymoni?” Shawn said, looking like he was sick, from wanting to be with Kymoni. Kymoni had her head down so low, Essence was sure she could count the grains in her grits. “I'm good, just trying to have breakfast and get to my next class.” Kymoni responded not even looking up. “Oh, I wanted to talk to you about something, after my eleven o’clock class.” “Shawn you can't meet anyone after class, you promised Briana that you would show her around campus. I'm sure that
Chapter 160The Pitt: Syncere and Shawn's table:“Hey mother Jamison, I am so sorry I'm late my criminal justice class ran over today I hope you guys haven't ordered yet.” Jazz said smiling, not noticing the tension at the table. Syncere looked up at a smiling Jazz then turned to the left of him finally noticing the empty seat, then turned to his guilty looking mother. He glanced over at the table Essence and Kymoni was sitting hoping that they had left, but as soon as he looked over her way their eyes locked on each other. “Fuck!” he said to himself. “No sweetie we haven't ordered yet, you're just in time, there is an empty seat over there right next to Syncere.” Sharon said, with a smile. She had invited Jazz hoping that they would all be able to talk to find a way to fix this mess her son had made. She didn't know what Thomas's problem was, he had never talked to her in that way. He knew how important becoming Mayor was for her, she had put her career on hold at first
Chapter 250Still at the Hospital:A empty Office: Continued “I swear if you hurt my daughter, I will make sure you lose your job and never work in any state ever again.” Judge Taylor said as they were both pushed into the office with the door slamming behind them. “DADDY!” Jazz said running over to hug her dad as she cried. Doctor Taylor hugged his daughter and looked at his wife confused. He wanted to know why they were still at the hospital and not on a plane. “What are you two still doing here, you were supposed to be on a plane right now.” Doctor Taylor said, looking at his wife for answers. “I know but once they took you, they told us we couldn't leave. We have been waiting there ever since they took you away.” Judge Taylor said looking at her husband. Doctor Taylor frowned and turned back to Big C and Martrice. “Why do you have my daughter and wife here, I told you everything. I said I would fully cooperate with you, so you don't have to drag them in
Unique's New Command Center: Unique stared at the text with shaking hands, he couldn't believe what he read. How can his wife be pregnant with another mans’ baby. It couldn't be true it had to be a mistake, Unique thought as he walked out of the doc's room and into his office. He wasted no time dialing the number that sent the text. “What the hell do you mean she's pregnant, I saw her earlier and she was beaten badly and shot in the back. There is no way a pregnancy would survive that kind of trauma.” Unique yelled at the phone. “Would you calm down, you have to get control of your fucking emotions, if this is how you work then I'm out. I can't have you expose me because you're in your feelings. Having feelings causes the person to make mistakes, and in this kind of situation it could cost us our lives or we end up in jail. So get yourself together, now the doctors are saying that it was a miracle that the fetus survived. They were able to get the bone
Chapter 248Still at The Hospital Conference : That man is actively trying to take our sister away from us. He’s obviously having a psychotic break from all rational thought and reality. You know that makes him deadly, not dangerous, we’re way pass that director and you know it. And just so we're clear, if you had the go ahead to arrest any of us you would have done so instead of putting us through story time. Your goal and our goals do not align because at the end of all this you're wanting to take them to jail, when we plan on putting foot to ass ending with him in a body bag.” Big C said sliding the picture back to director Waters. “Are you openly admitting that you plan to commit murder?” Director Waters said with her brow raised. “Of course not, I was telling you about a dream I head. It's not against the law to tell anyone about my dreams.” Big C said sarcastically. “You understand if we find the body of Santiago, you and your family will be the p
Chapter 247The hospital's Conference room: “You say you care about family, then when I tell you to stand down and leave it to us to bring down Santiago you should listen. Because if you keep going after him, you will risk the life of our undercover man, how are you going to explain to the young lady who is risking her life for your daughter that you got her father killed. The Director said as she grab the paper and slid it across the table. Big C caught it and turned the paper over, revealing Doctor Makil Richards Kymoni's dad. “Damn!” They all said under their breaths. “This can't be real, there is no way Kiki's dad is working undercover with the FBI. Plus Unique and him have been around us before when we had dinner at our sister’s house and they acted like they didn't know each other.” Big C said as he looked at Kiki's dad on the paper in front of him. “As I said we have been keeping up with Santiago for a long time, we are trying to catch the bigger p
Chapter 246The Hospital: Conference Room: Continued “Martrice Nelson, United States Army, aka the Tech Guru, a Cyber Specialist, Cyber operations officer, Cyber and Electronic Warfare Officer, just to name a few.” The said looking at Martrice. “Uh you made one mistake, you said was and not is.” Martrice said, looking at the woman with a smile. “Yea I know what I said, and my comment still stands. I also held those same positions, once we're done you can check my resume.” Director Water said confidently. The brother's Eyes widen when the Director implied that she was better than Martrice “Dddaaammnn, I’m in love, somebody was bold enough to say they were better than you and put your ass on mute.” Kain said laughing. “Gentlemen, please I am not done yet. Last but not least Recce Nelson aka the Ghost, United States Army Delta force, he was in tasked with the most complex highly classified, and the more dangerous soldier in all military branches. He and his team
Chapter 245Unique's New Command Center: “How's the shoulder Doc?” Unique asked, laying on the medical bed, getting his arm checked. He was in his new space his contacts found for him. His contact also sent him new men and women who were highly trained and efficient. He must say his contact came through quite nicely. They followed orders and were getting all his new equipment up and running. He was more than fifty percent complete, all he needed now was a team of medical personnel that would be able to take care of Essence once he got her back. His heart ached thinking of the last time he saw her. He hated having to use her as a shield to get out of the hospital, but he had no choice. He would make it up to her when they were both safe and away from this place. Unique looked at the new faces who he didn't Know and couldn't trust completely. Thoughts of Derrick's lifeless body flashed in his mind, his heart ached, then it turned into pain and vengeance. He co
Chapter 245Still in Essence's Room: “Syn, we have to talk about this, you need to tell everyone that you made a mistake and that baby isn't yours.” Jazz said grabbing Syncere's arm. “God damnit Jazz, I'm not stupid I know how this goes. I know it's my baby because I had sex with Essence during that time and I was her first.” Syncere said, angrily wishing that they all would just go and leave him and Essence alone. Jazz staggered back in shock, her mother catching her as her legs gave out. Jazz tears flowed freely as she looked at Syncere. “So you cheated on me with her? You lied to me and told me I was crazy while all along you were cheating on me. You even had unprotected sex with her without any thoughts to your actual girlfriend. You could have caught some kind of sexually transmitted disease. Oh God I need to get tested, I need to make sure our baby is safe.” Jazz said to herself. “Would you stop it Jazz, I don’t have anything, I told you I was her fi
Chapter 244Still in Essence’s Room: Syncere's dad caught his wife before she hit the ground. He knew she would freak out when their son claimed Essence's baby. Thomas knew the moment the doctor said that Essence was pregnant that it was his son's baby; his grandbaby. He also knew that his wife would not accept it right away. He needed to get her out of there and allow her to cool off before she said something to offend the Nelson family. The FBI agent came back into the room, “I saw that Doctor Angelic left the room, so if you all will follow me, we can't wait any longer. We have very important things to discuss, the quicker we get this over, the quicker we will be out of your hair. So can all of you follow me to the conference room down the hall. I have two guys guarding this room, so you don't have to worry about anyone getting near Miss Nelson.” Director Waters said as she walked out of the door nodding to her men. “Oh, and please give my men all y
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
