The day had gone slow for everyone after the new findings of Raja. No one had seen Adonis since, and his phone was constantly going straight to voicemail. The entire day was spent trying to find her motives. For all they could have known, Raja was probably sent to spy on them the entire time, get some information, and send for the kill. Well, at least that's what was on everybody's mind.

Quez stared at the black screen of his phone. "What if Tiffany was playing me too?" He spoke up suddenly. "Like, what if.." he trailed off and took a deep breath. "I mean, like, I ain't never really felt like this about a bitch before." He rubbed his face.

"But what I'm trying to understand is why the actual fuck would she give the nigga her last name? I mean, if you and your family out to kill somebody, and you undercover, why would you give them your full, real name?" Jonas questioned. "I'on think she even knows what's going on."

"What makes you say that?" Quez asked.

"You just not gone tell him your last name. Get real, babygirl is probably clueless. Probably don't know about Don or what her daddy do for a living." He shrugged his shoulders. "She just know she rich and well protected."

Everyone sat back and soaked in what Jonas was saying. It all made sense. If she was out to do something, she wouldn't have told him who she really was. The room fell silent.

"Look, y'all probably gone kill my ass, but I kinda knew who she was." Everyone's jaws dropped as they all turned to face Trey. "Back at the hospital, I overheard Raja talking to the dude that thought he killed me. She had no idea that it was me he tried to kill. She just knew that her father got his man. She was talking about how she met Adonis and how much she liked him, and all that other lovey dovey shit. Luckily dude didn't know our names at the time." He shook his head. "It completely slipped my mind. I was supposed to tell Adonis the day I got out." Everybody shook their heads. "Man, I feel so shitty, y'all."

"It's going to be okay," Crystal assured.

"I have an idea, but Adonis is definitely not going to like it." Quez said. "Jonas!" he shouted.

"Why the fuck you so loud?" Jonas scrunched his eyebrows.

"Shut up! Go round up some men. A hundred at the least. Trey, weapons. I want everybody strapped. And Crystal," he took another deep breath. "Call Adonis. Tell him to meet us under the Triborough Bridge where we met with Thomas at 12 on the dot."

"What are you doing to do?" Crystal questioned.

"You'll find out." He shut his eyes. "Just be prepared for anything tonight."

His hands were wrapped tight around my hair as he continued pulling. My head was slammed against the wall. He held a cold glock 40 to my jaw. My eyes were closed, lips slightly parted, and a warm tear rolled down my cheek.

"Let me know why I shouldn't let this shit blow ya' fucking brains out right now," his lips brushed against my ear while he towered over me. My entire body was shaking due to fear and the chilly wind coming from my open apartment window. I was in nothing but lace underwear. He caught me as soon as I got out the shower. I curled my cold toes, and another tear slid down my cheek. I opened my eyes and searched for his. The only light was coming from outside. The city lights shone on his face. I was breathing really heavily, and my chest was moving up and down in a rhythmic pattern.

"Adonis, I-" he cut me off by slamming my head back against the wall. He gripped my hair in his hands even tighter. I squeezed my eyes in pain.

"You played me. I stopped fucking around for you. I let my whole fucking guard down, which was fucking stupid, and you introduced me to your fucking kid." He let out a deep breath and chuckled. At this point I was scared out of my fucking mind.
