The Champagne Estate started crumbling after Draya’s speech, and I wanted to get as far away from it as I could.

Percy was in rage—stomping his office floor like it was his most hated enemy, and shouting at the top of his lungs while on the phone with somebody from his office.

If I knew him as well as I thought I did, he was trying to get ahead of the curve; get a statement out before the press did first.

I didn’t waste my time trying to find Brielle to clear anything up because I already knew where we stood.

Besides, I had bigger shit to worry about.

“Aunt Judy. What's up?”

I checked the surroundings before letting her into the pool house.

For all I knew, Percy probably gave her a gun and sent her over to kill me for fucking up his campaign party.

“I hope you happy with what your actions caused tonight,” she said. “From the first day I saw you, I knew you was trouble.”

I plopped down on the couch and hung my head.

I knew I was trouble too.

Trouble was my middle name.

  • Engagement Party From Hell   Brielle | Don't Say a Word

    Sitting in the hospital waiting room felt like I was doing a life sentence.Doctors, nurses, and enraged patients scattered the halls like patrons of a chaotic high school.Telephones, intercoms, and room lights rang and chimed, but it was all a blur to me. Every voice I heard, every question I was asked, it all sounded like the teacher from Charlie Brown.Womp. Womp. Womp.I was too worried that Monty wouldn’t make it out of surgery to pay attention to anything. Not even Detective Morris and his lapdog asking me fifty million questions.“What’s your relation to Montclair? Are you two married, friends with benefits? Or just hanging out?”“I’ve known him since college. We’re good friends,” I replied numbly.“Does he have any enemies, or do you have any enemies that would have done this?”“I know who shot him.”Detective Morris looked surprised by my answer; like he expected me to lie or make him jump through hoops to pull the truth out of me.Remembering how he reacted when he found ou

  • Engagement Party From Hell   Draya | Love'll Get You Killed

    “Why did you shoot him! He wasn’t supposed to die!”“I thought he was gonna kill you! He went for a gun! You didn’t see it because you were too focused on scaring Brielle.”“Fuck! Shit! Fuck!”I paced back and forth with my hand on my head, trying to figure out what to do next.It was by pure luck that Kannon and I got out of Monty’s house before the police came, but none of that mattered to me if he was dead.Not freedom, not luck, not Brielle’s heartache.I wanted to be with him in the end. To show Brielle that two could play the game she mastered so long ago. But if he was dead, that meant we both lost.And if we both lost, then everything was for nothing.“You think anybody saw us?” Kannon asked, peeping through his blinds like a peeping Tom.“Yeah. Brielle,” I replied smugly.“Besides her.”“No, Kannon. I don’t know. Why were you there anyway? Did you follow me?”For a minute, I thought he might’ve been jealous that I was going to see another man in the middle of the night. But n

  • Engagement Party From Hell   Brielle | His Blood on My Hands

    A death as quiet as a whisper and as gentle as a feather.Brielle and Monty, always and forever...The ringing in my ears silenced the world around me.I couldn’t hear anything except the poem he wrote me years ago.I didn’t hear Draya screaming and panicking. I didn’t hear the blurry figure that rushed in to drag her out of the room before the cops came. I didn’t even hear the sirens.That poem was the only thing I heard while auto-piloting what I remembered from a CPR class I took as a freshman.Blood soaked my hands while putting pressure on his wound, and I felt like my lifesaving measures were useless.But just when I was about to give up and die right next to him from a broken heart, the paramedics rushed through the bedroom door to take over.“Ma’am, we got a call about gunshots. Are you hurt?”“Do you know who did this?”“Is the person still in the house?”“Is this drug or gang related?”“Where’s the gun?”“Did he make you do this?”Their questions fogged my brain like a car t

  • Engagement Party From Hell   Monty | Ride or Die

    It was an awkward time, but I couldn’t ignore how sexy Brielle was sitting in my passenger seat.She asked me to take her home after talking to her mama and Draya, and I was happy to. Even though the family was in a state of emergency.A lot went down that night.Some things came out that I would’ve never guessed went on under Percy’s roof, but I didn’t speculate what was true and what wasn’t.I just wanted to be there for Brielle.“How yuh feeling?”I put my hand on her leg and gave her a quick glance.She moved my hand closer to her inner thigh and let her head rest against the seat.I took it as a sexual gesture, but Brielle was all about the comfort of having something strong in her power.“I feel bad for Draya,” she said. “That’s all I can feel right now.”"Wah she seh when yuh talk to her?"Brielle rolled her eyes and let out a heavy sigh.I got the hint—she didn’t want to talk about her family drama.I was curious, though.There were a lot of things said that night; a lot of in

  • Engagement Party From Hell   Draya | The Last Supper

    I expected my mama to finally stand up for me when she heard the truth.Instead, she stood still with her mouth open like she was shocked. Not saying anything.I always suspected she knew what was going on in the middle of the night when my dad got out of bed and didn’t come back for a long time.She had to know.But even if she didn't, she never cared to check.“What’s wrong, Ma? You don’t believe me?” I winced when she turned away. “Or did you already know and now you feel like shit because everyone else does too?”“Andraya!” Mama hissed sharply. “You stop this nonsense! I don’t know why you’re so rotten inside, but I'm sick of it!”Her words cut me like a knife.I wanted to use the cake cutter to slice her the same way, but I couldn’t.She was still my mama, and for whatever reason, I felt like I still needed her love.“Tell her the truth, Daddy!” I cried. “You know what you did! You know what you did to me!”My dad stood aside, huffing and puffing like the hellraiser he was.I didn
