Gen walked into the meeting room, seeing Riley, Xerxes, Rodney, Paris, Luca, Adele, and a man in the room.

"What I do? If this is about Pey—"

"No, it's not Gen. Your father had left a will, and he will be reading it, or you can. We didn't want the others in here because—well, it's basically your shit," Riley said, making her chuckle a bit with a nod.

"Okay, Genesis. Your father left a note for you, and he also mentioned Rodney in to."

"Me?"

"Yeah. Genesis, do you want me to read it out loud, or do you want to read it yourself?"

"You can read it out loud," She said, and he nodded. The man cleared his throat then began reading.

"Genesis, my heart, my pride and joy, I love you with everything I had in me. Despite everything that happened with me and your mother, you never failed to make me happy. I gave you my name cause I knew you were gonna be just like me. And turns out I was right. You picked up my crazy hacking skills, along with my gun skills, and not to mention my big heart I didn't share with anyone but you. Gen, I knew once I passed you were gonna leave Washington DC since it was nothing keeping you there due to Riley and X becoming King and Queen soon. I know you're very antisocial and don't like people at all, so I've been speaking to Rodney and Paris for a while. I set you up a house in Germany Gen. It's big but not too big. It's perfect for you. Don't worry. I didn't move you from your cousins. That's why I spoke to Luca and Adele as well, so I could get you a good spot. I also am leaving all of the money I have. You're set, so if you wanted to sit on your ass all day, you could. But I know that's not like you, so use the money for your new home and college tuition. I love you, Genesis Tayla Jones, and always will, no matter what part of fucked up hell I'm in. And to Rodney, my brother, my partner in crime, with your big-headed ass, since Gen isn't 18 yet, I have given over all my parental rights, so once you sign the papers and my lawyer finalize it. You will be her legal guardian until she turns 18 in a couple months. To all my nephews, and nieces I loved you funny mufuckas too. Peyton, treat my baby right,"

"That last line didn't age well," Xerxes said, making Riley his arm with a chuckle.

"H-He gave me an h-house?" Gen asked, holding in her tears as Paris, Adele, Luca, and Rodney nodded.

"I-I don't know what to say, thank you." Gen sighed.

"You welcome Gen. He was gonna gift it to you if he was here or not," Paris told her, making her nod.

Later that day, Mariah had wanted Ri to do a shoot for her. And she remembered that Riley wanted to do a shoot for X anyway since her and X's anniversary was coming up soon.

"Ri, could you tilt ya head slightly to the right for me?" Mariah asked as she looked at the photos that Jeff was capturing.

"I gotchu," Riley said and did as told.

"Remember Ri, this a black and white photoshoot, so the only thing they would be focusing on is you," Mariah reminded as the lights flashed.

"Ok," Riley simply responded. She wasn't mad or upset because she knew Mariah was still trying to prove herself to Adele.

Why? She didn't know.

"This looks so good. Jeff, can we take a break?" Mariah asked, and he nodded. He put his camera on his shoulder, leaving.

"This looks amazing," Riley said, and Mariah nodded.

"Obviously because you're the model,"

"Oh, stop," Riley waved her off, blushing a bit. They continued to look at the pictures then Mariah spoke up.
