King's Hart

Chapter ♡ 16

Monae's POV

As I began waking up, the sound of persons talking caught my attention.

What the hell happened?

I remember talking to Nasir then everything went black.

Did I pass out or some- oh God Isla is his ex-wife!!

The sudden memory sobered me up as the voices got clearer and I sat up.

"- tell Monae" was that Mama D?

"Tell me what?" I asked groggily as I rubbed at my eyes focusing on her and Nasir who had a guilty expression on his face. Raising my brows in question, I looked between the two of them.

"Mo, sweetie how are you feeling? You had a panic attack and passed out" she spoke approaching me.

"I'm feeling ok mama, sorry for worrying you guys but Nasir didn't have to call you" I said glancing at him, but he wouldn't meet my eye.

"Nonsense hon, and besides I was already on my way here" she smiled softly before a serious expression took over. "Honey, we need to talk to you about something" she looked back at Nasir before returning her gaze on me.

"Ok" I mumbled sitting up fully as they both sat on the bed.

"Monae, I just want you to know that if I had known what Amir did, I wouldn't have helped him" he said looking down however, my heart sped up at the mention of His name and my eyes flew to Mama D.

"Y-you t-told h-him?" I stuttered out.

"Breathe, Monae" she stated calmly taking my hands in hers and I resisted the urge to pull away. "I just told him how he was, the full story is yours to tell whenever you're ready" I nodded at her words as I calmed do some.

"Nas, go head" she urged him to continue.

"I-I" clearing his throat he continued "A little after Isla and I got married Am-"

"-Please don't say his name!!" I pleaded and he nodded before continuing.

"A little after Isla and I got married he showed up to the house covered in blood" he sighed out with a distant look on his face.

Nasir's POV

FLASHBACK

The doorbell going off took my attention away from the game I was watching as the person continued ringing.

"Yo who the f**k is that?" I asked getting up but stopped as Isla came rushing out the kitchen and went to open it.

Approaching the door, Amir stood on the doorstep covered in blood looking out of it.

Is this n***a high? I thought to myself as she pulled him inside before shutting the door.

"Oh my God, Mir what happened?" she asked frantically pulling him to the chair.

"What the hell are you doing Isla? He should go to the hospital or the cops" I told her. I was not about to get involve in whatever bullshit he had going on.

"It's not my blood" he mumbled with his head down.

The fuck this nigga say.

"Mir, what happened? Did you get into a fight or some?" she asked calmly like this man didn't just say it ain't his blood.

"Nae" was all he said, the f**k is Nae, is that some Spanish shit?

"Yo, Isla-"

"Elijah, please!!" she exclaimed before sighing "Can you just give us a couple minutes baby? I promise I'll tell you everything" she pleaded, and I stared at her before walking away.

Isla's POV

Watching Elijah leave the room, I turned back to my idiotic brother.

"What the f**k did you do Mir?"

"She wanted to leave" he said after a few seconds of being silent "she wanted to leave me, and I couldn't let that happen so I-I. There was so much blood Ro" he turned to look at me with tears in his eyes, "I didn't mean to hurt her, she got me so angry, and I shot her"

"F**k, Amir!!" I exclaimed getting up "What the hell is wrong with you? You just know to f**k shit up. How do you expect us to fix this?"

"I need to lay low for a while Ro, I need some money and I'll be gone" he pleaded.

"What am I supposed to tell Nas huh? Hi babe my a**hole brother just killed his girl and I need some money for him to disappear" I ran my hand through my hair gripping it.

"Just tell him I got into some shit and need to lay low, you're smart Ro and you obviously have the n***a eating out of your hands" he rolled his eyes getting up.

"Fine, just wait here"

FLASHBACK OVER

"She came and said he got into some gang shit and needed some money to lay low and I gave her it, after that I never saw him back" I glanced up at Monae who was sitting there quietly staring at the wall.

"Mo?" mom called out shaking her gently "Are you ok?"

"Huh? Yea I'm ok" she said focusing back on us "I understand Nasir, you didn't know what he had done and was just trying to help at the time."

I was shocked, I honestly thought she was going to be angry, but she took it really well.

"Monae-"

"U-um, I think I should go" she quickly got up off the bed "Where are my keys" she looked around the room. Getting up I walked to the drawer and took out her keys handing it to her.

"I'm ok Mama D, I just need some time to think. Thank you for telling me" she said before walking out, sighing I sat down on the bed.

"It's ok Nas, she just need time to wrap her head around it" ma said patting my back and I nodded.
