The sequel to Fragility.
A sense of loss darkens Talia. She returns to LA a different woman.
Her business mind goes into overdrive and before long, she is running high. This brings her close to Theo in a battle of power and money.
Angie arrives in L...
".... I don't think you should let him stay." Mason said as he took Talia down to the kitchen so that they could talk.
"Why?." She asked with her brow furrowed. "he is my brother...
"Do you trust him... like really... how much do you really know about him now.... how long ha it been since you last saw him...And if he is marrying Nola.." he shook his head. "We need to be wary as hell..."
"Who is she?."
"She is no banker put it that way...I've come across her so many times in the game... and she will slit a mother fuckers throat, for the slightest wrong doing...
"What the hell would she be doing with Harley?" Talia said and sighed heavily.
"She sees men as prey... so as he likes to be kept that suits her, he does as she says, when she says and he gets the benefits of that...but if he crosses her jus' once, trust me, she won't hesitate..."
Talia closed her eyes and shook her head. "She will hurt him over my dead body... I am not going to lose anyone else close to me"

"Guess that means over my dead body too... as you're carrying my seed...
"So, you're gonna protect me and love me forever?" she said to him with a hint of sarcasm, and her eyebrows raised as if she didn't believe it.
"yes I am, as soon as you tell Theo that it ain't ever goin' anywhere with him" He told her straight. "The mother fucker needs to know and he needs to know from you"
"What am I going to do about this sperm donor situation... can I jus' kill him and then it solves all the problems" she shrugged, diverting from what he had just said about Theo.
"Girl you're crazy... but I also know that that is exactly what is on yo mind... and you can't... you are gonna meet him, we are gonna watch him choke when he sees that it is you... and you can tell him that you don't want anything to do with him and walk away... and I will be right by yo side" he told her.
They walked back into the lounge to see Harley going through the drawers in her cabinet. "What the fuck are you doing?" Talia snapped, staring at him.
"Nothin bad sis..." he sighed. "I just... well, I need some money"
Mason frowned. "Why would you need money from yo sister, aren't you a kept man by yo own recognition?"
He lowered his head. "umm... yeah about me and Nola... We have fallen out...
"What do yo mean?" Talia asked him.
"She caught me slipping... I mean I can't resist a pretty girl you know that... so I took some of her money, spent it on some wears and getting back here and I had to ditch my cell, cos I know she is not happy and she is going to come looking for me"
"So once again you fed me nothing but bullshit!" Talia said
Mason shook his head. "Do you even know who you are dealing with when it comes to her?"
