All Chapters of BEAUTY & THE GANGSTER : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

MIA "Shiiiiit," I jumped, turning around and I saw an unfamiliar tall black man at the entrance door, bald, shirtless, and wearing a pair of jeans that were loose and seemed to be falling off his waist, showing off his navy blue briefs. He is very muscular and has a scar on his face. My heart pounded as he approached me while rubbing his palms together like he had just seen something delicious and weirdly grinning at me. I pressed myself against the counter behind me, hoping to break into it and hide from this strange person approaching me slowly. He could be one of the boss's men. I don't know.I have.....I have not seen him before."Your sum fuckin' gorgeous white shorty," he said, staring at my body like a hungry predator. I placed my sweaty hands on the counter, still pinning myself against it. "The name's Malik, baby," he said, smirking. My heart pounded. "Big Kai finna fill up his bunker with them white chicks, huh?" "I....I wanted.....to boil some water for Jay....L

BIG KAI "The damn nanny. You trust her so much already that you were so eager to kill your own cousin to protect the bitch," "She is my son's nanny." She scoffed, looking away. "I should have chopped his head off instead," I added, making her face twitch as she looked at me. "And I don't give a damn if the fucker was ma fucking cousin. I'mma kill any motherfucker who bends my fucking rules or betrays my fucking trust" She kept staring at me. "Any motherfucker, Imani. Whoever the fuck it may be." She unfolded her hands, staring at me in a way. "Even my sister," Her face twitched. "You ain't an exception." She lowered her gaze and looked at me. I tilted my head, staring at her. "But you ain't finna betray me, are you, Imani?" She gulped slightly, staring at me like a dummy. "Are you?!" She raised her chin boldly. "No. I am not." "Good. Now get your ass back to bed." I ordered, moving my gaze to the screen. "But I am going to make you see who that white girl really is

BIG KAI "Imani," I called, returning my gaze to my screen as she approached without leaving out the sounds from her heels. "The clients are ready to meet you, Mr Kincaid," she said. "About time," I said, shutting down my computer before getting on my feet. I walked around my desk as my eyes rested on the white girl. Her nervous eyes moved to me. "Let's go," I said. She got on her feet with Lil Kai in her hands. "She and Jamal can stay at the garden till the meeting is over," Imani suggested, making me look at her as I put my hand into my pocket. "You know you can see her from the meeting hall." She added with a low tone. I moved my gaze to the white girl. Her gaze is down. "A little fresh is important for Lil Kai, you know," Imani said, making me look at her. She gave me a nod. "Let's go," I said, walking towards the doors. ***************AN HOUR LATER.........THE MEETING HALL......."Another land available is in LA." Jordan, one of the heads of my team explained. I

MIA She nodded. "Yes. Take it and run. Now is the perfect opportunity to do so. But you have to wait till I go back inside." I looked at the money. It is a lot of money. I can use it and leave the city. Maybe go to my paternal grandparents' villa. "Okay. Hurry up and leave right after I walk back into the building." She said, attempting to leave. "Wait, what about....." "Go straight to the highway." She gestured at the road behind me. "Board a bus or taxi and run. Leave this city entirely. Go somewhere the boss will never find you. Go now no one is looking." She said, getting on her feet. I held her hand. "What's wrong?" She asked. "Um....take Jay....I mean Lil Kai. Take Lil Kai with you into the building." She let out a scoff, sitting back down. "I can't, Mia. It will be risky for me. I told you I can only help you to the best I can and that is me giving you the money" She gestured at the money in my hand. I looked at it. "Take it and leave now. I can't take Lil Kai in

MIA I need to fix him some cereal and also get hot water for later in the night. It is past eleven and thankfully, this little friend of mine is still awake. It feels safe going out of my room with him. I believe no one will try anything with me once they see Jay Jay in my arms. It has been hours since the company where I almost gained my freedom. I don't regret giving it up for my little friend but what April said kept repeating in my head. What if the boss wakes up one day and decides to kill me? What if that one day is tomorrow? I let out a sigh, descending the stairs. I will take it. If tomorrow is my last day, I will take it. At least I spent my last days with my little friend. I got to the kitchen and walked towards the counter. I saw the kettle on the stove and I picked it up. There was enough water. I opened it and looked inside. I can't tell if it is clean. I moved towards the sink and disposed of all the water. I filled in new water and placed it on the sto
