First Lady [Ruthless Records]

lost

short chapter but will have little forms of foreshadowing

"Karma and Eric breaking up was crazy to me. Because not only did she break up with him but it was like she just break up with Ruthless altogether." - DJ Yella 1998

If you would've asked an sixteen year old Karma where would she be at right now. She'd probably say dead or in jail , But now her answer would be completely different.

Karma was a double platinum artist with four Grammys , 6 MTV Awards and 4 AMA's. She had number one records and even performed with her idol. She lived a lavish life that caused her to be loved and adored by many. Men would literally die to be with her , All types of A-List men wanted to be in her presence everyday. Right about now she pictured her self with a child with Eric but unfortunately things didn't work out. So she was in a place of hurt.

That hurt led her to be in Cancun for two weeks with Suge without letting anyone know , Not even Vivian or Andre.

Suge had been a safe space for a while. He took her in at a time where she was vulnerable and he planned to take advantage. Like the night of her breakup with Eric , He got her so high that she could barely function. They slept together which surprised Karma because it wasn't her.

In her mind she knew she wasn't herself. Karma wasn't like a background character , She was the main show. But she knew she was changing , She had gotten slimmer from all of the weed , She always wore red and black which wasn't very Crip of her and she'd been quieter. Maybe it was her shaping her self for Suge's approval.

"You good ?" He asked her as she stared in the mirror looking at herself looking at her face

"Yeah I'm fine." She said to him with a soft smile

"It's so beautiful out here." He said as she looked outside with a smile

It was truly paradise in Cancun , It was a whole different reality from California. But it felt wrong being there.

"We're about to go out on the boat soon." He told her as she nodded

"Okay I'm just going to go the bathroom." She said to him as he nodded and she walked to the bathroom closing and locking the door

Karma again looked at her self in the mirror and looked at her neck seeing slight passion marks. She touched it softly sighing to her self.

The door jiggling taken her out of her thoughts as she quickly unlocked it as Suge smiled at her.

"You all ready to go ?" Suge asks as she smiles and nods her head before he puts his hand out taking it

"She never said where she was going to anybody." Vivian stressed as she looked at Andre

"Man she probably somewhere with Suge."

"You aren't worried about your sister it's been two fucking weeks ?" She asks as he shrugged

"Look I stopped asking Karma questions cause she likes to be all secretive." He says to Vivian who simply looked stressed. "What we need to be worried about is these contracts."

"What contracts ?"

"Eric won't let us out of contracts and now we can't release no music yet."

"I don't see why Jerry just couldn't get fired and y'all could've stayed on Ruthless." Vivian says with an eye roll

"Man fuck Eric and Jerry." Andre says as sips from his drink. "Plus I got something for his ass."

"Like what ?" She asks folding her arms as Andre taps a button on his soundboard before music plays as Andre raps

Used to be my homie, used to be my ace
Now I wanna slap the taste out ya mouth
Make ya bow down to the Row
Fuckin' me, now I'm fuckin' you, lil' ho
Oh, don't think I forgot, let you slide
Let me ride, just another homicide
Yeah, it's me so I'ma talk on
Stomping on the easiest streets that you can walk on
So strap on your Compton hat, your locs
And watch your back 'cause you might get smoked, loc
And pass the bud and stay low-key
B.G., 'cause you lost all your homie's love
Now call it what you want to
You fucked with me, now it's a must that I fuck with you

"Your making a fucking diss record ?" Vivian says as irritation and annoyance laced through her voice

"Yeah , Got to make him feel like I felt." Andre said nonchalantly with a shrug

"You and your sister are going to give me migraines." Vivian says as she walks out of the studio

Meanwhile Eric sat in his home looking at pictures of him and Karma as he sipped from a bottle of Hennessy. He even had her music playing.

It felt weird to him that they were really over. How they used to wake up next to each-other day and now they haven't even spoken in months. Plus he had so much hope for the future.

Eric hoped to see Karma with a swole belly walking around and feeling her stomach as he would whisper to their unborn child and profess all the love he had. He wanted to give her a big diamond ring and propose with rose petals surrounding them. He wanted to cater to her every need and make feel like she was on top of the world.

He felt like it was too late , As much as he wanted to go to Karma and beg on his knees and tell her how much she cared. It was too late and she was already too deep with Suge. He was slowly changing her from who he once knew as Karma to someone completely different.

He wanted to understand but he couldn't. It was like all the hurt finally took it's course.

But he would feel it deeply soon and the world would soon know why.
