A long line of fans were spilling out of the room designated for meet and greets. Kain was the only Gaines twin seated, anticipating meeting them. I bypassed the area with Isis, Giza, and Rod accompanying me. The girls were strategically placed by my side. Big Rod guarded our backs while my other bodyguard went to get the tour bus to pull around.

We hastened towards the back exit in record time. There was no time to wait around when my father and mother were on the prowl. I didn't recognize the two people who raised me anymore. What Isis revealed didn't fit the archetype of the loving parents who gave me the world. The very reason I gained the courage to pursue music was them. They instilled in me the knowledge and confidence to be the multifaceted artist I was. My heart was torn, but my mind was clear on the matter. I believed Isis.

"Aye, Ebel" Cuervo and Ceth stood near the exit. I didn't even stop to greet them. Pushing them along with us, the two men were confused. "What's going on, bruh?" My little brother asked. "Why are you moving like it's a fire?"

"I'll explain everything on the bus" I helped each girl up the stairs and then gestured for Cuervo and Ceth to get on. Ceth was the first to walk up, then Cuervo. One of my feet touched the first step when the voice of evil stopped my movements.

"Ebel, what're you doing?" This was the man who used to sing me to sleep at night when I was afraid of the monsters under the bed or in the closet. The four year old me wasn't aware that the only terrifying creature I had to worry about was him. Taking my foot off the step, I moved past Rod and walked up on him. "I'm leaving this shit" My jaw was clenched so tight, I feared that I would chip a tooth. I was holding back all of the emotions coursing through me. He was so calm, despite my anger slipping through the cracks. "You would have to pa-"

"I don't give a fuck!" The statement blared out of me in a loud scream that stopped people in their tracks. Onlookers watched as tears of anguish and rage gathered in my eyes. "I'll pay whatever to get off this bitch" The way Adym's countenance remained stoic worried me. He was more heartless than I ever imagined. He appealed to the sadness in my eyes, placing a comforting hand on my shoulder. I slapped it off viciously and took a swift step back. "Son-"

"Nah, I ain't your son, you sick motherfucker" I spat back at him. "A child? You fucked a child?" My voice elevated on its own as more surrounded us, entertained by the soap opera drama. I wished it was all a made-up plot for television, but this was my life. "Ebel" My mother's voice was soft, drawing my attention briefly to her. I was disgusted by them both. "And you knew. You're just as sick as he is" I snarled.

"What is going on?" Kain burst between the crowd of workers who all signed NDAs to even work this event. They couldn't leak any of this to the press. Adym spun towards him, cradling his face. "Your brother is listening to lies made up about our family, and he's believing them, son"

Furious laughter spewed from me. "When a twenty-two year old tells me that my father impregnated her when she was seventeen and told her to abort the baby, you damn right I'm a believe her" He turned back in my direction with the swiftness, leaving Kain befuddled. "That bitch is lying on me. You can't see that? Egypt lied on me back in the day and got me kicked off a tour. Like mother, like daughter"
