NY 🔜 VA

It was one thirty am and only the adults were up enjoying their selves, Layonna and Sinah sat at the table drinking wine and talking about any and everything.

" I'm telling you girl he has a whole list of things he wants to do and he's going to make sure we do it too" Sinah Confessed with a small chuckle " Chile I believe you, I know Xavier is happy to be here he literally wouldn't stop begging me until I just gave in." Layonna also confessed with a soft smile on her face.

" kids I tell you" Sinah said shaking her head. " speaking of kids" Layonna said looking behind Sinah, Sinah turned to see Naomi coming her way with tears running down her face. " Mimi what's wrong?" Sinah asked getting up pulling Naomi into her arms. " I'm sorry, my dad had called me and he's just.. can I be honest ? I really need someone to talk to and I don't want to put so much on Milo" she whimpered.

"Yeah, come sit" Sinah helped her sit down, even though her belly wasn't showing yet if you touched her stomach you'd be able to feel how hardened it was. " what's going on Mimi" Sinah asked again worriedly.

" it's my dad, he's just... I lied he isn't a trucker he's home and a drunk. He called me because he forgot he told me I could come and now he's mad and threatening me and I'm just scared of what could happen when we get back." Naomi sobbed.

Sinah pulled her into a hug squeezing her. " I'm so sorry you have to go home to that, I'll have sacred take you home when we get back and hopefully he sets your father straight. Has he put his hands on you? If so you gotta let me know so I can get you out of there. It's not safe no matter how much you love someone you can't let them keep hurting you hoping for a change it's uncommon for them to change when you want them too they do it on their own when they want too." Sinah explained kissing Naomi's head. " you're my family now and family looks after family in my household so we got you forever don't be afraid to ever come to one of us okay??" Sinah continued wanting Naomi to know she wasn't alone in this.

" thank you so much Ms.West I really appreciate it, I needed that. He doesn't hit me all the time here and there half the time he's too passed out to even know what's going on." Naomi said shrugging. " you're welcome baby girl and we'll get that handle start documenting everything he does to you okay ? We'll get you out of there." Sinah promised.

Naomi nodded " can I stay in here with y'all? I can't go back to sleep."

" yeah want to play a game of uno?" Sinah asked grabbing the uno cards. " ouuu I'm finna whoop some ass" Layonna hyped herself up making Naomi and Sinah laugh. " yeen seen me play all day I'm finna show you some." Sinah boasted.

Clover Sat in the passenger seat as Sacred drove, the music played lowly as they talked about their next moves. " if I'm being honest, I don't want to do that shit no more. There's a young nigga name Ermiah tryna come up I'm thinking about putting him on as my second and start letting him lead the pack." Clover said finally voicing her thoughts. She was only in the game to be able to kill Santino when the time came and the time had came four years ago she was over the little drug fest, she had enough money saved up to last her a lifetime plus her shop and store brought in good money.

" you sure Clo? You worked hard for what you got you and Cree. Once you hand that over ain't no turning back." Sacred asked glancing over to Clover.
