What's The Endgame (Book 1)

You Want The Last Name I Have

" What did you say?" Jada questions
" Oh you heard me."  Nikki replies
"  Mom isn't like you. She doesn't fuck married men to fund her shopping sprees" Joey says
" So you say" Nikki replies
" Yeah." Joey says
" She hasn't said that it isn't true. So like I said , Mom , well Jada . You know a thing or two about fucking married men. Why are you so hard on me about it. Didn't you do the same thing" Nikki replies
" You shouldn't brought that up Nicole." Logan says seldomly
" Why not Daddy? Why not? " Nikki questions
" Dad . What is Nikki talking about it" Joey says with tears in his eyes
" Oh you didn't know. Yeah Mom cheated on Dad 4 years ago. With an man that she loved. More than Dad. You don't remember the time when Mom was wearing new jewelry. Smiling more , wearing new clothes. Yeah Josiah you were starting your freshman year of college so you were gone. That's when Jada found her new groove. Oh yeah sorry Jada and sorry Daddy. He didn't know didn't he" Nikki replies
" Tell me that she is lying , tell me Mom" Joey says now crying
" Tell her Mom. '' Nikki chuckles " Calling me an whore. And Jada , our mother was fucking Dad's old boss. Like mother , like daughter"  Nikki replies
" She isn't lying isn't she? " Joey says while still sniffing
" This was a nice dinner and you ruin it. " Jada says while crying
" Take some responsibility Jada." Nikki replies
" Yeah Josiah it's true. Me and your father were having problems. So I stepped out of our marriage. And it's something that I regret every day. Me and your father got counseling and we moved on. It's an lot of things in my life that I regret doing , including having you as an daughter Nicole. It's something about you that is so damn evil. "Jada replies
" Jada!" Logan yells
" She doesn't mean that princess" Logan reassures her
" No Daddy , she does. I was at the diner paying off Daddy's debt. The one that he got from paying your hospital bills. To this day I still think that he should have divorced your ass and let you die. You had a chance Mom , you loved him. And you gave up your chance of happiness, to do what. Don't get mad at me because you settled for a life that you knew deep down that you didn't want. " Nikki replies
Jada takes a deep breath, the weight of her daughter's words settling heavily on her shoulders. Her voice is a mix of sorrow and resolve as she begins to speak.
"Nikki, I know it's hard for you to understand the choices I made. Life has a way of throwing curveballs, and sometimes, we swing and miss. I was lost, and I hurt the people I loved most, including you. I can't change the past, but every day I wake up trying to make amends for it. Your father... he's a good man, and he saw something in me worth saving, even when I couldn't see. Baby I know you hate me and I deserve it. I wasn't the best mother to you. But you deserve more than sharing a married man. That's only gonna lead you to a world of hurt. Be better than me please. "
" I'm gonna enjoy the ride Jada, dinner was fun. Love you Daddy and see ya Josiah. "  Nikki says while quicking wiping a tear and leaving
" I'll be leaving too" Joey says with a hint of angerness
" Do you need a ride honey?" Jada questions
" No thanks , I'll walk" Joey stays before leaving

" Woah Woah , Woah". Nikki says before she opens her door " What are you mad about?"  Nikki questions and laughs.

" Nothing." Joey replies bluntly
" Aww you find out that Mommy Dearest isn't mommy dearest after all. I hope you don't judge me so harshly for now on. You would have to judge Mom too. " Nikki chuckled.
" Can I get a ride?" Joey questions with sadness.
" Doesn't Mom usually take you back to your place?" Nikki questions now starting her car
" Yeah but I don't wanna be near her right now" Joey replies
" Oh that's too bad. I don't think that you want an whore to take you home. Have an good night" Nikki says before driving off
" Shit" Joey yells

Switching to the Gomez home

The gravel crunched beneath the tires as Pat and her son pulled into the driveway simultaneously.
" hey , baby. what are you doing  Hello Renee as well" Pat says to Alejandro
" Mom. Not in front of Renee " Alejandro says feeling a little embarrassed but laughing it off
" No it's cute" Renee says getting out of the car
" Renee , I thought you weren't feeling so well" Pat inquires
" I'm not but this life has no sick days. As we all know. I'll lay down properly after we get this business done."  Renee replies
"  I have to get something back from Dad , then me and Renee will be on our way."  Alejandro says
" I fixed your favorite last night. Do you want some to go? Renee I have more than plenty. Would y'all like some?" Pat questions
" Yes we wou-"  Alejandro says before being interrupted by a rhythmic hammer banging from inside the house.
