Chapter 31

Beyoncé's POV
Farmhouse
July 1

I was sat in my farmhouse office, as Wayne counted bands next to me.

"They thinking they got me, I'm 10 steps ahead." I chuckled, whilst flipping through surveillance around New York.

"What you thinking, bumble?" Wayne asked, when he'd finished counting.

"From what I heard, his niece coming here to get close to me. I got something for her." I looked over at him then back at the cameras.

"What you doing when you done with her?"

"What I always do. Get her gone." I shrugged.

"Her kids?" Wayne asked, counting a new stack.

"What about them?"

"Bey, you can't do that."

I wasn't about to hurt no damn kids, no matter what their parent or relatives did.

"She did it to herself. What about my kid, Wayne? Huh?" I leaned back in my chair. "Did anyone care about my girl and my kid? No."

"Cool. I'll be right here to bring you back down when you're done." He expressed, I smiled.

"What would I do without you, Wayne?"

"Nothing."

We sat there for a few more hours before I left.

"You want me to buy you more clothes, mama?" I asked.

"Giselle, I have enough clothes. You don't like my clothes?" She sighed, adjusting her reading glasses.

"You dress like an old woman." I jested, slightly backing away.

"I should whoop your ass." My mama looked over at me and gritted her teeth.

"You can buy me clothes!" Destiny shouted from across the house.

I rolled my eyes. She could sniff a shopping spree from a mile away. I was still going to take her shopping though. I liked spending my riches on people.

"Come on, Des." I walked towards her room. I knocked before walking in. She was putting on her shoes and jacket.

I chuckled, she was actually ready.

"You just love spending my money. You don't even love me." I fake sobbed. She smiled and patted my shoulder.

"Let's talk about this when we get to the mall."

She rushed out and headed to my car. I walked downstairs, towards the living room. My mama was still on the couch. I kissed her cheek before exiting the house.

I unlocked my white Bentley for her. She hopped in and I got in after.

The drive to the mall was short, so we didn't speak much. She started a conversation about her boyfriend which I completely ignored.

When I got to the mall, we got out and went in. She guided me to a shoe store and I bought her 2 pairs of Jordan's. Then I bought her another pair of dunks.

"Let's go to ZARA." She got a hold of my hand and dragged me out of FootLocker. I held all of her bags as we entered the next store.

I sat outside the store and handed her $300. I didn't want to give her my card because I knew she'd spent thousands.

As I sat outside, I recognised a certain voice. When I looked up, there was Onika and Kelly laughing and walking. The kids weren't with them, so I was wondering where they were.
