Diana saw the car pull into the drive and she immediately went out to greet him, she saw his face and knew that something wasn't right.
"Is everything okay, you look awful" Diana said as she watched him get out of the car.

He looked at her. "She's dead...

"What?"

"We found out yesterday... some mother fucker from Atlanta beat her, raped her and then killed her" he said barely able to say the words.

Diana looked back at her father who was standing in the doorway to the lounge. "Oh my god" she said. "Come in... you look like you need a strong coffee" she added.

Devon looked at Reece as he entered. "The girl is dead?" he said with a false sadness in his voice.

He nodded. "Yeah, killed because she didn't fulfill a promise to work as pole dancer in a club in Atlanta... who the fuck does that...

"Well at least you have closure now" Devon said. "You can make plans for Cassius's future and move on... with Diana!.." he added.

Reece looked at him with his brow furrowed. "Move on?... and just how the fuck am I supposed to do that... whether you liked it or not I loved that girl... and Diana knew that too.."

They both looked to Diana as she walked back in with a coffee for him. She handed it to him and picked up Cassius carrying him out to see the twins in the playroom. Devon looked back at Reece and narrowed his eyes. "Right there is a good woman! She would do anything for you, even watch your illegitimate son... That girl was trouble and this proves it... she was young, sexy, flaunting it on a plate for you... and we as men dabble... we have all been there... but all she would ever be worth is being nothing more than a side piece to you... the real woman, taking care of home and the kids is Diana... and deep down you know that... your dick got caught up with this stripper, but you let it rule your head.." he sighed and sat down. "I am offering you half of my business, come in as a partner 50-50, if you get back with Diana and raise your family" he told him.

Reece stared at him. "I don't love her I don't want to be with her... and Sera, she was different, she wasn't anything like you say... speak ill of her name again and I will shove yo head up yo own ass!" he told him straight. "Now if you don't mind, I have a business all of my own to run"

As he turned to walk out Devon stopped him. "Be careful Reece, I know some people in some very high places, if they were to find out about the man behind his business-like persona... you could end up in jail for a very long time" he smiled. "I would think about my offer if I were you"

 "I would think about my offer if I were you"

Reece walked out. He got in his car, and he looked back at the house. "Not if I kill you first mother fucker" he said to himself as he pulled out of the drive.

Gerrard handed Sera a coffee. "Did you manage to get some sleep?"

"Not really, everything just turns and turns in my head... I just want to remember my life, who I was and why this happened to me"
