A month when by, and Lucas was calling Xerxes just about every hour of the day complaining about Mexico's weather. It didn't make shit any better, not knowing if Juan was in Germany hiding or not. Either way, in the end, he would be the one that ended up dead, not one of them.

Today like always, they were all at the main house chilling in the game room. As always, Melody and Elijah were arguing about something stupid. Heaven was in Caleb's lap, making out like any of them wanted to see the shit. He and Riley were playing the game with Leon and My'esha.

"Yo, X. Why your ass be cheating all this fucking time. Ni--"

"WOAH! Rule number one no using the N-word in our parents' house. Our Dad hates that word and will beat the fuck out of your ass if he hears it," Neveah said, stopping Leon before the word slipped out again.

"Noted, but isn't your whole fucking family mix or some shit? I mean Xerxes, your ass just straight up white. What the fuck happened there?" Leon said, laughing, making X hit his ass with a pillow while My'esha and Riley laughed.

"Forreal, I was wondering the same thing X. Are you adopted of some shit?" My'esha asked, making Xerxes look at her like she was dumb or some shit.

"No. Adele is my Mom, just like she's theirs. You do know mixed children can come out either, or right? I just came out like my Dad."

"He's right in case y'all didn't know our Dad is mixed too and looks like a straight-up white man. It's them German genes and no fucking sunlight," Melody said, laughing, making the rest laugh as Xerxes and Riley shook their heads.

"Damn, I didn't know your Dad was mixed too. I thought that his Mom was like his stepmother or something, but now that you mention it, I see that he does look like her a little. I was just fucking with you, X. I know Mrs. Kohler is your mom hell. You and your siblings all look alike," Leon said, making Xerxes nod.

"Hey, have anyone seen Mariah?" Riley asked, making everyone look at Eli. "Why the fuck you all looking at me? I don't know where the fuck the bitch is," He said, making the twins sigh, and his twin slapped the back of his head.

"Naw, last I saw Riah was the first day we arrived after that she been M.I.A.," Caleb said, making Riley looked to Xerxes. He let out a sigh shaking his head. What was the fuck that girl was thinking? She was in fucking Germany, a place she knew shit about, and she decided to run off.

"It's Elijah's fault. I told you to leave that girl alone. Mariah wants what Riley has. She couldn't have Xerxes, and she knew it, so she went for the next best thing. His brother, I told you that shit, and you didn't listen. Now your hoe ass has broken the girl's heart," Heav said, shaking her head, but Xerxes knew that wasn't the reason she ran.

"Mariah's pregnant," Xerxes said, all nonchalant. Everyone in the room heads whipped to him and Riley. "WHAT! SAY YOU FUCKING LYING XERXES! YOU BETTER BE FUCKING LYING!" Melody yelled as he shook his head no.

"It's ain't mine," Elijah said with a straight face which Xerxes gave right back to him. "Trust me. It's yours. Riah and I had a long talk on the way to Germany. What's rule number one, Eli? Never let females you don't trust handle your condoms," Xerxes said, watching as the smirk on his brother's face faded. Swiftly Elijah stood doing something on his phone, walking towards the door.

"Elijah, don't do anything fucking stupid," Melody said as she tried to hand King off to Neveah to chase after him. "Mel let him go. Elijah's crazy ass is going to do what Eli wants, and you know it. Both are you are crazy, and you think he's not going to look for Riah? Probably beat her ass."

"Damn, your brother is like that?" My'esha asked, making them look at her. "You don't know the fucking half. Adriel, you didn't have to tell him like that," Riley said.
