Chapter 98Syncere's POV: Continued “What the hell does that have to do with me and my dinner? I didn't say anything to those young ladies, because I didn't think for a minute that they had anything to do with what happen to Jazz and Leah. I care about those young ladies as well, but I will not blame innocent girls of a crime that I don't feel like they had a part in. Especially after I saw the state they were in and the fact that they stayed behind and helped our girls. I will be saying thank you to them and not interfering with the police doing their jobs and I will expect you to stay out of it as well is that clear?” My dad said to my mother, he didn't pull any punches, especially when my mother cross the line. He usually allows her to speak freely, and because he didn't like to get into women business. But when mother questioned him, he would speak his mind bluntly, my mother knew it and cross the line. So when he made his decision clear, she simply bowed her he
Chapter 99Friday:Essence Kymoni, and family: “Momma why did you invite Syncere, Shawn, Unique, and Anthony to Sunday dinner? How do you know we have enough food to feed everybody, you always be inviting the entire world to eat at our house.” Essence said as they finally left the hospital. She was still reeling from everything that happened earlier, she was glad her brothers showed up and caught von and his friend. Her and Kiki said that they wanted to be adults and not have to call home to our family for help, but they had to admit that they needed it. They weren't rich well known like Syncere and his girlfriend and friends’ parents, but they weren't poor like Mrs. Taylor thought she was. She was in that college on scholarship, not because she was poor and couldn't pay, if need be, but why pay for college when I could go for free. Once they had finally settled everything and cleared their names. Syncere's father came in and apologized to them and thanked her an
Chapter 100Syncere's POV: Continued “Are you going with your dad tomorrow?” Shawn asked me while I was deep in thought. “Yea, I really want to eat some of that southern home cooking. You see what we have to eat around here, and you remember how Jazz’s food tasted. I hate to even say this but I am glad that we don't have to sit and eat none of that food she was going to ruin, burn, and not season.” I said, as Shawn grimace then laughed when I described all the ways my baby was going to ruin any food she tried to cook. “Well I am going to go and try to talk to Kymoni even though I don't think she will want anything to do with me. I am going to at least tell her how sorry I am about how I reacted to her, and how I fucked up. Essence was right I fucked up, I should have never thought Kymoni would do anything like that. The girls I use to fuck and dump were the type of girls that would do that, but she was different and I should have known that.” Shawn said, seriou
Chapter 101Sunday Morning: 9amEssence's PV: “Momma we been up all-night prepping all the food, baking pies and cakes. Did you even sleep last night?” I asked as me and Kiki groaned, crawling into the kitchen. Yall my momma had woke us up this morning with gospel music so loud, I wondered why my neighbors hadn't called the cops. Then I remembered that momma had introduced and hug every neighbor that spoke to me. To her that made them family automatically and she treated them as such.. By the time she walked away from them, they were calling her momma Nelson, that southern charm is lethal. “Yes, I had a good night sleep I don't know why yall needs ten hours of sleep. Back in my day.” My momma said and we groaned, rolling our eyes not wanting to hear another story about how my grandparents head them up at four a.m. every morning to do chores before school and then came home to go to the fields and pick fruits and vegetables for extra money and didn't get to sleep until two
Chapter 102Sunday: 1pm Sunday Dinner: Anthony's apartment: Anthony and Unique “What time are we heading over to Essence's house?” Unique asked as he tied his belt looking at his self in the mirror making sure his fit was straight. Anthony came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. “I told you we are going to head over there in about half an hour. I don't know why you're so in a rush, I told you that you're not going to date Essence she’s, my friend. I will not allow you to hurt her, I can tell you she will not be ok with dating you if she knows the truth.” Anthony said as he dropped his towel, his dick rested on his thigh as he sat down to lotion is body. Unique stared at his dick and his mouth watered. Unique wasn’t gay, he was enjoying is college years with no limits. Him and Anthony had been fooling around since their Sophomore year, it wasn't anything serious he has had girlfriends and things never got messy. Anthony knows the deal and he
Chapter 103Sunday Dinner begins: 2pm The food was laid out across the kitchen counter all in serving dishes to be passed around. My brothers and cousins were leaving once they got their plates, so it would only be me, my momma, Kiki and her daddy, Mr. Jamison, Syncere, Shawn, Unique, and Anthony eating at the table. In my house my table was small because it was only me, but of course my brother found a folding table big enough to seat everyone, but it would be put in my living room which I didn't like not one bit. “HEY WE BROUGHT THE TABLE AND WE FOUND SOME STRANGERS WHO WERE BEGGING FOR FOOD OUTSIDE SO WE INVITED THEM TO EAT WITH US!” I Heard Big C yell as he walked in. “I know you fu…I know you lying I'm telling you C if I will punch you in the face if you bring more peop.” Essence was saying as she came down the hall towards the door but stopped dead in her tracks when she came face to face with Syncere. Her words got caught in her throat, he was so fucking
Chapter 104Sunday Dinner:Essence's Bedroom:Syncere and Essence: He had only seen the bruises on her face when they were at the hospital. “I didn't say anything because I didn't want my mother and brothers to worry, and it's none of your business. You made it clear where your concerns lie, so stick with that and leave me alone.” Essence said, knocking Syncere's hand away from her, his touch made her skin burn and her body crave him. Syncere looked at Essence as she headed back into her closet. If she thought she would get away with what she said just now, she made a big fucking mistake. He thought as he went to her door and locked it, before storming into the closet to confront Essence. Syncere stormed into the closet as Essence was on her tip toes trying to reach the top shelf. She hissed again when she tried to do a little jump to reach it. Syncere reached above her easily and grabbed the tablecloth, and walked out of the closet. Essence followed with an atti
Chapter 105Sunday Dinner: The Living room: “Before we eat, I want to welcome all our guest, I am so glad to have met everyone of yall even though it started off on the wrong foot for some of us. Mr. Jamison, I heard it is your birthday and this feast is in honor of you and the fact that you have never had Southern food before, which is a crying shame. But we are about to fix your problem, I must tell you that I am not responsible for any addiction that my food may cause you.” Momma Nelson said with a smile that made Syncere’s mother frown and had Kiki and Essence looking at each other oddly. “Please call me Thomas, and I would like to thank you for this wonderful meal. This is by far the best gift I have ever gotten, and I will walk into this addiction happily with no regrets.” Mr. Jamison said smiling like a fool. “Uh, how about let's say grace so we can eat because I don't know what is happening.” Essence said as Kiki's father said a prayer. Essence and her mother
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
Chapter 235 The VIP Floor Getting to Essence: “TEAR GAS EVERYBODY COVER YOURSELVES!” Kain yelled being the first to recognize what it was. They were all force to cover their entire face walking blind. The brothers had all been tested with tear gas in training and although they handled it better than anyone it still left them blind. “GET TO MY BABY, OH GOD WHERE IS SHE I CAN'T LEAVE UNTIL I KNOW SHE'S OK!” The all heard Eula scream, as someone tried to get them into one of the room where the gas wasn't. “MOMMA JUST GO WE WILL GET ESSENCE!” Kristian said, not knowing if he was lying to his mother or not. Big C pushed his mother and aunts into the closest room closing the door. He ripped his shirt off exposing nothing but pure muscles. He was a big man with not an ounce of fat, he was all muscle. People thought he was a gym rat, but he never stepped foot in a gym. No one could explain how he got a body like The Rock, when he doesn't even have a membershi
Chapter 233 The Hospital Showdown Continued: “Yall go ahead and stop coming this way, so just back the fuck up. Don't make me put a bullet through her chest and not her back this time. Please don't test me, because you already know what I'm capable of.” Unique said shoving Debra who cried out in shock. “Shut the fuck up bitch!” Unique said hitting her in the back of the head with his gun. Debra screamed but kept pushing the bed, she was trying not to make any sudden moves. “Please, just let my baby go, I will not try to come after you, just leave her here. She is too fragile to be going through this, I promise my family won't come after you if you just leave her here.” Eula said with her hands stretched out towards Essence praying that this man just let her go. She couldn’t bare it if he took her while they were all standing there. “Well Mother-n-law I'm afraid I might not be able to do that, because I am sure someone has called the cops and your family have
