Chapter ThirtyThree
Omniscient
FIVE YEARS LATER

It was the week of Christmas and everyone was arriving in Miami to celebrate. It's been a while since they've all been together. Once Royalty started college, Mya and Chris headed to Atlanta. A year after that Mariah and Travis decided to go to Houston, and Kayla and Hoody went back home to Miami.

Tim eventually ended up in Houston as well. He opened a very successful resell shop called Slick's Sneakers. He has multiple locations now. He and Amber got married last year and welcomed another baby girl two years ago. Shockingly, Syren and Amber get along. Syren finally decided to move on with her life and recently got engaged. She and Mya even made amends and talk from time to time. Mya even dropped her lawsuit.

Brian stayed in LA. Still unhappy and bitter. His life revolves around Sam's Bar and Grill. He tries to date but his personality ruins that.

Makayla found her way to Atlanta. She ended up moving in the smaller house that was built for Royalty. Even though Royalty appreciated what her parents did, she felt like she had no freedom.

Joyce spends most of her time in Virginia with her new man that Chris enjoys bullying.

"Boy you drive like a damn maniac!" Mya yelled, while snatching off her seat belt.

A 17 year old Landon, laughed while putting the Lamborghini his dad let him drive from the airport, in park. "You always crying lady." Landon, who was now a senior in hight school and on track to be the next biggest MLB player, was the spitting image of his father beside his curly hair that he let grow out. It was currently in four stitches braids and his favorite fitted cap sat on top and he was basically covered with tattoos that his dad allowed him to get. He was a hot commodity back in Atlanta. Girls swooned over him and their moms were in love with his dad.

"Don't make me pop you."

They climbed out the car and Chris and the other kids climbed out the truck behind him.

"You was tripping on that expressway Bam." Chris said as he approached his son and wife.

"How else am I supposed to drive a fast car other than really fast?" Landon asked. 

"Be careful next time or you'll never have to worry about driving a fast car until you're able to pay for it. Got it?"

"Yeah, yeah."

Chris turned to his wife and shook his head. "Nigga still don't listen."

"I don't know why I offered to even get in the car." Mya said as they walked inside the house.

"Yeah, you see I didn't argue with you."

"That's sad."

Chris laughed while pulling her into his arms. "Did everybody else make it yet?"

"Well you know Kayla and Hoody are already here but I think everybody else is here and settling in. You talked to Ro?"

"Earlier. I don't get why she couldn't fly with us though."

Mya made a face that she thought her husband didn't see, but he did. "Yep, don't know." She tried to walk away but he pulled her back.
