Ralph did exactly as Kai asked and made sure the letters got delivered to each intended person .

My Yaya, I gave you that nickname when I first met you when I was 8 years old in elementary school and it just stuck . You were then and still now my protector. You never played about me or let anyone play with me. We bumped heads a lot growing up but that never made me
love you any less. I love you and your craziness more then you will ever know. Yaya don't ever stop being you, underneath all of that craziness is the most caring, thoughtful beautifulest person I know. Please don't get mad that I've done this to y'all a second time. But I had to Yaya. I felt like I was losing myself in New York and I just couldn't have that. I promise you when the time is right, I'll reach out and we can talk all about it. I was so proud of you that night I came to your house to get my hair done. I saw the growth in you and I want you to keep pushing. I love you Ariyanna💜

Once we lost Nari you stepped up and took the role of big sister for me. You became my diary, my go too and my shoulder to lean on. You always knew exactly what to say to make any situation better for me. You were strong for me even when you couldn't be strong for yourself and for that I'll love you forever Des. Your the most understanding person I know so you want be mad at me for leaving the way that Yaya is. Des it's just going to be you two for awhile, as soon as i fully have everything together I'll reach out to you as well, but in the meantime just keep living your life and keep striving for greatness. Leaving y'all again was one the hardest things I ever had to do but I had to do it. This won't last forever, We'll be back together again. I love you Desiree 💜

East had got a phone call from one of the barbers at he and Rich's barbershop saying that his truck was parked outside. He damn near broke the pedal trying to get there. Once he did he opened his driver side door and got in. Nothing looked out of the ordinary until he noticed a white piece of paper folded up sitting on the dashboard. He grabbed it and immediately begin to read it.

I don't know if you meant everything that you said on the phone, but if you did I understand. East you left me with no choice. You weren't ready to walk away from the game even after knowing that the drug business has destroyed our lives the most. People have died behind this bullshit. You've been shot, I've been kidnapped. Nari was killed and the list goes on. What it is going to take for you to leave that life alone? There's only two places you'll end up if you don't stop while your ahead and I don't even have to say where those two places are because you already know. I love you, and I've never loved another man the way that I love you. But the problem is your aren't in love with me the way Im in love with you. I was always going to come second to your real true love, the streets. I just can't compete with that. I'm sorry for hurting you but I had to do what was best for me. I pray that one day we can get past this. If not, I can't even be mad. I love you David please stay safe.

East didn't even realize that he a tears running down his  cheeks. He quickly wiped them away. He couldn't be mad at Kai because everything she said was right. But it hurt him to his soul to know that she had killed his baby then took off like a thief in the night. He could never forgive her for that.

I was currently 9 months pregnant and my daughter was due any day now. Since I've been here I've experienced peace like I've never experienced it before. At times I got lonely and just wished I could be laid up in our bed with East and he would rub my feet and talk to our daughter while she would kick at him. I missed my sisters so much. But I missed East something so serious.

My dad told me that East had came to visit him a few times saying he knew that Ali knew where I was but he told me he never budged. But he could clearly tell that me leaving had taken a big toll on East. It made me cry at first but I knew what and who I was doing this for. Nothing or nobody mattered other then the well being of my daughter.

As I looked into the beautiful scene in front of me I thought about all the things that I previously went through. I didn't allow any of it to break me. I made it out the storm and I was being rewarded a precious baby girl. I didn't care how anybody felt about my decision to leave because I didn't do it for the approval of anyone else. I was about to be someone's mother. It was my job to protect my little girl and keep her safe. I now understand what my mom meant when she said when you have a child you'd do anything to make sure they are good. This baby was made out of pure Love, but for the Sake of Love I had to make better choices for her....
