CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO || IMANI

"Did you kill my mother?" I cry.

His face turns pale and the words that were about to come out his mouth seem to dissapear.

"What are you talking about?" he says sternly but also calmly.

"You fucking heard what I said!" I scream standing up on the bed throwing something at him.

He dodges it and walks slowly closer to me, "baby you must be drunk Rio told me you had a little outburst during dinner." he holds his hands out.

"I FUCKING HEARD LORI, DON'T LIE TELL ME THE TRUTH YOU ASSHOLE!!" I yell again and the sweetness is wiped off his face. Anger and hatred washes over.

*flashback*
Gabriel's POV

I walk with my brothers on the street still dressed in black from my mother's funeral. We didn't wanna go home and see my dad broken and all my family there trying to comfort us.

They found her body two weeks after she was taken. Well after her head was shipped to our house. I'll never be able to get that out my head.

So we just walked the streets of Reim. Until the tears stopped streaming down there faces.

"I think we're gonna go home now." Gio pitches up and Rio nods in agreement. "okay call me when you both get there." I pat them on the backs as they head back in the direction we cane from.

I just keep walking my mother was my pride and joy and now I just feel empty. "Luther!" I hear a joyful voice say.

A Indian woman is standing outside a expensive store. A long baby-blue dress flows in the wind and her brown curls bounce with every movement she makes.

"Luther Devant, hurry up!" she says. Bags are held in her hands.

I don't remeber what happens next. A gun is in my hand and shots are rang out. That beautiful woman falls to the ground with blood pooling on the bricked streets. I shot her in her heart.

"Victoria!" a raspy voice crys as Mr. Devant runs out the store and drops to his knees craddling his dead wife.

A dark skinned girl runs out the store. She seems a little bit younger than me. I was frozen I couldn't move I tucked the gun back into my pants. Her eyes shift up the me as I see tears run down her cheeks.

"Mama!" she screams burying her head into the crook of her neck. I feel hands pull me by my shoulders as they rush me away. "run Gabriel."

*back to present*

"I just wanted revenge-." Gabriel's voice says cupping my cheeks. He was now sitting on the bed his voice was now soft and not ragging.

"That was me." I pitch up as he quickly removes his hands from my face. "rot in hell." I say hitting him across his face. He screams out in pain as I jump up from the bed and start throwing things into a suitcase.

"IMANI!" he screams his voice angrier than it was before. "your not fucking leaving!" he rushes up behind me as I pack my skincare products into a bag.

I tune him out until hands wrap around my neck, picking me up pinning me against the glass shower wall.

I have flashbacks about how Max used to treat me. And I kick and scream with the little air he's giving me. He lets go and my body falls to the ground causing my knees to get stratched a bit.

Between his yelling and the many other tears coming out my eyes I ditch my skincare bag and grab my suitcase fleeing out the bedroom door.

"Imani, wait please hear me out.. fuck im sorry." he says he throws his hand over his face rubbing his scruff.

I run down the stairs and twist the doorknob, i stare ahead at the door as I hear more of his pleads.

"Im sorry Imani." "I didn't mean too." "Don't go your gonna be back anyways." the same things Max would tell me.

"don't look for me." I cry and run out the door. "IMANI!!" he screams. His dress shoes make loud thuds as he chases after me.

I run across the cul-de-sac and into my car and lock the door. "Imani can I explain please," he bangs on the glass.

I start the car driving off. Goodbye Gabriel.

Forever.

༺ ৎ୭ ༻

I have no money. Well atleast no money to where Gabriel wouldn't be able to track my cards. So I just drive.

Until I see a bright yellow M.

"Yes!" I exclaim. I look through my glove compartment and find a 5$ bill. I park my car and run into the restaurant .

Walking up to the counter I try and hide my face because I don't know how many people Gabriel has sent out looking for me but I never wanna know.

"One McDouble please, extra onions, lettuce and tomato." I say passing the bill on the counter. "you don't have enough do you have anything else we can use?" the cashier says.

"Uh-" I say looking through my purse. Im just hungry..

"no-"

"here." a person slips a dollar bill from behind me and the cashier rings it up. "32 cents for change." she hands me the recipet and the coins.

"thank you-" I say turning around but the words are taken outta my mouth.

A tall black man stands infront of me. His black dreads sit as shoulder length and his smile is perfect. Not a crooked tooth. Im even sure it twinkled. He wore white ripped jeans and a royal blue sweatshirt that reads "MONEY" in white drip letters.

Hot.

"Hot." I say staring up at his 7'0 foot figure. He chuckles. His voice was deep.

"You too." He winks at me and the waiter calls my number.

Fuck the burger.
