Veronica Chandler

I finished making breakfast for Leona and Lorenzo when I felt Renzo's chest against my back. He placed his hands on my waist.

Veronica - baby move before you make me drop this plate.

He moved  and I  sat Leona's plate in front of her

Renzo -  that looks good babe

Veronica - thank you

He grabbed my neck making me kiss him.  I pulled away.  This man better stop , we have a child present.

Renzo  made himself a plate and sat at the island next to Leona.

Vivian Chandler

I walked past Veronica's room and saw Gabriel standing in the middle of the room.

Vivian - Gabe why are you in here.

Gabe - we need to get her back.

Vivian - for what? She wanted to leave.

Gabe - she's our daughter and she needs to be home.

Vivian - Gabriel I know about what you've been doing to her.

Gabe - shut up I was taking care of her while you were drugged up.

Vivian - molesting your daughter isn't taking care of her and you gave me the drugs.

Gabe - I didn't force you to do coke. You remember when we met you were a drug addict, so don't blame me for your habit. I stayed with you so long because I loved you and knew you needed somebody. You don't have family , I'm all you have. Nobody loves you but me Viv and you know that .

He walked out.

I sighed and walked out of the apartment and knocked on Lorenzo's door. Veronica answered the door.

Veronica - hey

Vivian - hey

Veronica - what can I help you with mama

Vivian - when are you coming home?

Veronica - I'm not coming home. I'm happy with Renzo. Dad can't get to me and you need to work on yourself.

Vivian - you choose that man over me, your own mother.

Veronica - you chose dad and your addiction over me so I guess we're even.

I punched her.

Vivian - I am your mother Veronica. You will not speak to me this way.

Lorenzo came to the door , and stood between me and Veronica

Renzo - keep your hands to yourself

Vivian - this is your fault. She abandoned us for you and knows you will eventually do her wrong.

Renzo - damn cocaine is a hell of a drug. Go get checked into rehab and get rid of your husband and maybe she'd want a relationship with you.

Lorenzo White

Vivian walked off. I shut the door and grabbed Bambi's face. She kissed me.

Lorenzo - stop I'm trying see if she left a bruise.

Bambi - there's no bruise.

Lorenzo - I just wanna make sure.

Bambi - is Leona asleep?

Lorenzo - why ? You tryna do something.

Bambi - nobody wants yo dick boy. I asked because she hasn't had a nap yet.

Lorenzo - you're lying. But yeah she's asleep.

Bambi smirked.

Lorenzo - so are we-

Bambi - come on but don't get too crazy

She grabbed my hand and we went into our room.

Scarlett Demarko

I walked into my apartment and saw my brother , Sean  in the living room.

Sean - where you been?

Scarlett - out.

Sean - what happened to your neck?

Scarlett - Renzo choked me

Sean - for what?

Scarlett - because he's fucking crazy.  He fired me over some bullshit

Sean -  I'll handle it.

Scarlett - thank you. Actually ima need you to go after his girlfriend.  I want him to suffer.

Sean - alright

I will make that man's life worse than it already is.
