Its been almost three years since Kia took Armani. Three years since I've talked to anyone from the past.

Parents
Friends
Siblings
I've just been living in Atlanta trying to make it day by day without Armani. Its like when I lost her, I lost a part of myself that I'll never get back. The detectives say they haven't closed the case yet but its not likely they'll ever find Mani but I'm not convinced. I know my daughter is out there; ALIVE.
August
After losing Armani, I looked under every rock. I searched for Kia, hired private investors, used the media to my advantage but it was like they both dropped off the face of the earth.
I tried calling Eva but she wouldn't take my calls, text, nothing. She even moved out of her house and completely disappeared, no one knows where she went or where she was its like she dropped off the face of the earth as well.
Two years ago Ashley gave birth to my two daughters Heaven and Nevaeh. Ashley and I were shocked when we were in that delivery room that night because we had no clue she would be giving birth to two beauties girls.
Ashley had to have an emergency C-Section because Nevaeh was a breech baby when they got in there to toke her out they realized she had a hidden twin, Heaven. The doctors said that it was really rare for them to miss twins on the ultrasound but it isn't uncommon.
After Ashley had the girls we agreed to be co-parent who lived together, so I could help with the girls and Jace.

I walked down the hallways of my house with Heaven right behind me. I was on my way out the door, I needed to go to the studio for a couple of hours. "Heaven, Where you going?" Ashley asked standing in the mudroom straightening up the shoes the kids had scattered. "Im going with daddy." She answered as she sat down putting on a pair of shoes.
"No you're not." Ashley shook her head. "Why she cant go with me?" I butted in.
Heaven was my roll dog, we did everything together. Nevaeh, she reminded me of Armani. Stubborn. Everything had to go their way and if it didn't then...
Heaven loves to hear me sing. When she was a baby she would just cry so she could hear me sing and as she got older I began taking her to the studio with me and she loves that.
"Because August, She needs to be upstairs taking a nap like her sister."
"She gone be straight." I said picking Heaven and pulling my keys out of my pocket. "Do not have her out all night." Ashley said kissing Heaven's cheek. "Mmhuh."
"Im dead serious. You know she gets cranky and you always go in your room and go to sleep or go to work and I have to hear it."
I chuckled. "Alright."
"7:00" Ashley said as I walked into the the garage. I unlocked the door of my white four door Bentley and put Heaven into her carseat before getting in the drivers side and pulling off.
I was sitting in the chair with Heaven in my lap listening to this new track I just did. "You like it?" I asked. She shook her head causing me to laugh. She was my biggest fan but at the same time my biggest critic. "Alright hater."
"Im not hater daddy, you are." I got up from the chair and put her down before going into the booth to try this again.
"I came from drop tops and old school Chevy's
Dope boys rollin' through, shittin' on ya heavy
Fifteens in the trunk beatin' down your block
Only 4 years old when Biggie got shot
I remember playing on the block, hanging on the block
Young niggas slanging on the block, getting off them rocks
Now we livin' better now, Coogi sweater now
Weather still getting colder, we could change the weather now. But I...-" I stopped when I seen Heaven come in the door.
