Angie arrives in L...
"I guess I'm okay daddy..." Samira said to Cassius as he called in to the house check on her. He looked at her, as she poured him a coffee from the coffee machine. He knew he would need to tell her about Harley at some point. But he didn't want to have to tell her a thing about Talia, he wanted her dead and gone before it became known that she was his daughter.
"Have you hard from Mason?..."
She shook her head. "No... of course not.. he doesn't care about us now that he has a new baby on the way with her!.." she said with venom. "How could he do this to me dad... yes, I screwed up with Coach... once... just once... and that was because I felt like my man was slipping away from me... I saw this bitch that he has gotten pregnant at the court the day he got sentenced... I just thought she worked for him... I had no idea she was a stripper and he was fucking her... I bet he even had her go to the jail like he did me..."
"Yes he did!..."
She stared at her father with wide, hurt eyes. She was taken back by her father's admission of that. "You knew everything didn't you..."
"And you weren't going to stop him.. no one was... but as long as he came home to you and took care of you and the kids I let it slide Sami and I am sorry for that... she has been his side piece for a long time... plus she is well involved in his businesses." he told her.
"I'm better off out of it then aren't I... it's not worth fighting for...
He shook his head. "There is something else I need to tell you... and I want you to just hear me out..." he paused. "You have a brother... a younger brother..."
"What?.."
"I umm... I met a woman when me and yo mama weren't doing so good... she was my sanctuary, I spent time with her because she helped me through the low times ... I knew that she had had my kids....
"Wait!... KIDS!..."
"No, I said kid...
"You said kids!..."

"I have a son with her Sami.. just listen!.." he snapped. She calmed down. "I want you to meet him.."
She shook her head. "Does mom know...because you said you did?..."
"no... but I will be talking to her about it, he's 18 years old and it was a long time ago... I will be talking to her..."
"Why do you men think it's okay to step out on your wives... you don't even spare a thought for my feelings or mom's feelings... just like Mason doesn't care about mine or the kids feelings..."
"Sometimes things just happen..
"Oh so you're condoning his actions now..."
He sighed. "I'm sorry that I can't make your pain go away Samira... that bitch he got pregnant won't be around for long and that you can count on..." he told her and pulled her to him for a hug. "But I really want you to meet your brother... please..."
