the only reason she's not pressing charges is because i don't have the attention span to write out a court case, so calm down 💀

MELO

"I just got word back from the hospital. Mariah's not pressing charges, thankfully. However, she wants a check of two hundred thousand dollars from you, for so called, emotional distress."

I'd been sitting in this fucking interrogation room for almost an hour. I was hungry, agitated, and tired. The last thing I wanted to hear was my lawyer telling me Mari wants money from me.

If anyone should be arrested, it's her not me. I was defending myself. Swear she hit me first.

Bad enough I'm down here, my dad flew all the way from California just for this. A waste of money I tell you.

Melo- I'm not bouta give that lil girl two hundred thousand dollars. Emotional distress my ass.

Jj leaned on the wall, folding his arms across his chest and looked dead at me.

Jermaine- You're right. Cause you're tripling it.

NOBODY

LaMelo looked at his manager like he lost his mind. There was just no way he'd pay Mariah six hundred thousand dollars. His last hope was his father.

Melo- You hear this?

He asked, looking up at Lavar who did nothing but glared at his youngest son.

Lavar- Yeah, and you're gonna quadruple that.

Melo did the mental math in his head, and the total amount made him angrier. Tripling the original two hundred thousand went up to six hundred thousand, and is he quadrupled that, it added up to a million dollars.

It hadn't even been five minutes since his lawyer told him about the two hundred thousand, and now he was expected to pay a million??

Melo- Absolutely fucking not. Ain't no way in hell she's getting a million dollars from me. Y'all lost your damn minds. Back me up here Dave.

Dave only looked at Melo with a "you're kinda screwed" look and l turned his eyes away.

Dave- You kinda don't have a choice, because she's threatening to release an audio of you admitting that you physically hurt her, as well as several pictures and screenshotted messages.

Lavar kept a small laugh to himself. He knew this would come to bite Melo in the ass. Good shit Mariah, he thought.

LaMelo on the other hand was appalled. He wanted to know how Mari had access to something of that caliber. He was literally fucked. There was no way he could get out of it now.

Melo- Fine. I'll pay her dumbass.
