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...
Mason examined the bullet holes on the paper in front of him. "I guess you're okay...
Talia looked at him and laughed. "I'm sorry, does it dent your male chauvinistic ego... that I can shoot..."
"Not at all...
"Good, cos you taught me all that I know so just remember that..." she said standing on tip toe and kissing his lips.
He looked down at her and kissed her again. "Have you spoken to Theo yet... you need to keep that mother fucker away from you... so you have to tell him..."
"I will... I umm.. have a scan soon... do you wanna come?."

He frowned. "What makes you think that I won't.. I'll be there..."
"I'm so nervous." She said to him.
"You've got nothing to be nervous about, you are gonna be great... and you're not on yo own, you've got me...and I'm not blowing my own trumpet but I do have some experience in babies.." he told her.
"I'm surprised that Harley hasn't come back... I don't trust Cassius with him either... I don't think he has any good intentions especially towards me, but I don't expect that and I don't want anything to do with him... But I do not want to lose another one of my siblings because of a motherfucker like him... Harley is slightly off the chain as you probably can tell, but he's a good man and he's my brother..."
"Slightly off the chain isn't the fucking word... Yo brother sleeps with older wealthy women for money and to be a kept man... I've never seen the roles reversed in such a way before, but I gotta give him props, he's securing the bag, what ever he's doing.." he laughed. " but I do understand what you're saying about Cassius, but my priority right now is to make sure that you are safe... Cassius is a dirty motherfucker and he will, try to do something to eliminate issues that may arise in his life, that may disrupt his peace...."
"Me you mean...
He nodded but kissed her lips. " all I need you to concentrate on is keeping my baby healthy, keeping yourself out of trouble and making sure that I know where you are all of the time...
"Hold up a second as he threatened to do something?." She asked. "is that why I'm here at the gun range?"
Mason went quiet for a second. "Yeah.. and I'm trying to alleviate any stress from you because you don't need this while you're pregnant. So I'm asking you to lean on me, trust me... And understand that I've only got yours and the baby's best interests at heart right now and I will handle Cassius.."
She put her gun down and looked at him. " I want you to know that just because I'm having this baby, it doesn't mean that I'm out of the game... Of course I'm gonna take care of myself during the pregnancy, but as soon as the baby is here we have enough money to hire a Nanny and you are gonna need a second in command...And that is gonna be me... Just like you've always promised... we can be the dream team Mason, my brains and beauty, and your" she paused and looked him ups and down "... Thuggish ways...
