Life's too short to not forgive those who hurt us. I trust you to do what's right. Right by your own heart....Forgiveness sets you free...
Jigz read over Eli's, Elijah's father obituary. It's been almost a year since he passed...almost a year since he saw Elijah and Jada. He loved them to death, but had to separate himself. Shit was getting too hectic, and lines where being crossed. Jada has overstepped her boundaries numerous of times when it came to Amaza and Liah. Jigz expressed his feelings to Jada about the situation on numerous occasions, but Jada still went behind his back. Just because Jada forgave and forgot about all the fucked up shit Liah has done, doesn't mean Jigz was gonna do the same. Jigz got fed up and felt like he couldn't trust Jada with Amaza anymore, so he stopped letting Jada watch her and eventually moved 1 hour away from the city to New Jersey. They settled in a quiet well establish neighborhood in the Hamilton Park area of Jersey City, New Jersey. It was safe and quite area that they knew would be best for not only Amaza but also best for their growing family.
"Hey, dinners done. I'm gonna go get Amaza" Nessa said as she wobbled away. She was 7 months pregnant, but was carrying heavy. They prayed it was a boy, but was gonna be happy regardless.
They all sat at the table eating. Jigz watched as Amaza and Nessa giggled within each other as they held a conversation. Jigz just sat there as his mind wondered. It was secret that Jigz was that nigga a few months ago. He was bringing in thousands of dollars a day by doing what he did best, selling drugs. He knew how to turn $100 into $5,000. He called that lifestyle quits when he moved away, but money was running low, and it wasn't coming in quick enough with this trucking company he started.
"You ok baby?" Nessa asked as she touched his hand. He gave a forced smile. "Yea I'm ok...have a headache...I'll be out back" he said as he kissed her forehead. He playful pulled at Amaza's ponytail. She laughed. Nessa watched him as he went towards the back door. "So can I get knotless braids" Amaza asked. Nessa brought her attention back to Amaza. Nessa smiled. "Yea, that would look cute on you. Hurry up and eat so we can look online for someone" Nessa said as they ate and continued talking.

It was a little passed 7pm and Amaza was off in her room doing her on thing. Jigz was in the shower and Nessa was seated on the bed folding the last of their laundry. She heard the shower turn off and a few minutes later heard the bathroom door creek open. "You wanna watch the Squid Game tv show? It's just like the movie but it's real life people competing for...you're leaving?" Nessa didn't have time to finish her sentence as she noticing his hoodie in his hand. He walked over to the night stand taking his phone off the charger.
"Yea, gotta go to Harlem real quick...I'll be back, but don't wait up for me" he said. He leaned in for a kiss, but Nessa moved her head. "Don't do this please" he said. "No, you don't do this please" she said. "I'm not doing anything....I gotta go talk to Elijah....thats all" he said. "That's all?" She questioned. He lied and nodded knowing that wasn't all. "I'll be back ok, I'll call you when I get out there and when I'm on my way back ok." He assured her. She just nodded as he kissed her lips. "I love you" he told her. "I love you too" she said with a small smile. And with that he was gone.

His adrenaline pumped as he did 80mph through the Holland Tunnel. Money was calling, and everybody knew Jigz didn't play when it came to money. His phone rung and he answered. "Yoooo" Jigz said. Elijah chuckled through the phone. "I'm like 20 mins away" Elijah said. "Iight nigga. I'm a lil further out, but I'll be there in 30." Jigz said before hanging up. They were meeting up with a Baltimore connect that went by P. The've been doing business with P for over 10 years. He had the good shit and was about making money and staying low.
