Chrisieanna POV

When I tell you all that I was pissed.... Its a damn understatement.

When I turned around, do you know what the hell I saw?!

Christopher motherfucking Brown. That's. What. The. Fuck. I. Saw.

And he called this man in front of me dad? OH HELL NO!

"Chris if you don't tell me what the fuck is going on..." I trailed. I was so pissed.

He didn't even look at me, let alone respond to me.

"You said we were gonna leave her out of this!" He yelled

"She came to me!"

"Why did you come to him?"

"You said you were in debt!"

"Ugh!" Chris ran his hands no down his face. "Let's go Chris we're leaving." He said dragging me by the arm. I snatched it away from him.

"No!" I yelled. "I'm not going anywhere!"

"Yes you are now let's go." He said reaching for me again. In no time flat my gun was in my hand pointed at him. He looked at me like I had lost my mind. "Chris you're not going to shoot me."

Not fatally. "Is that right?"

"You gone kill yo own brother!? I raised you!"

"I ain't say I was finna kill you..." I shot by his feet and he jumped in the air.

"Alright alright. Stop playing man!"

I took my seat are the desk with Chris in the one next to me. Gun still in my hand waiting. Nobody said anything.

"Talk." I tried to sound as authoritative as possible.

"Why don't you explain. Cause I didn't know you until recently." Chris said. He was pissed off too.

"Why don't we start with when your mom kidnapped you all from me, let's start with that."

"Cut the damn attitude." I was in no mood. Chris, I wouldn't shoot. This dude tho.... Just might catch one.

"Don't talk to me that way. I'm your father!"

"I don't have a father..." I spat. "Don't you dare think you hold any type of rank in my life. You mean nothing to me until further notice."

"You sure are your mother's daughter. Fine. I'll start from the bottom. And work my way up to being your dad."

Chris laughed. "Good luck. She's more stubborn than I am."

"All I can do is try. Now where was I..."

I listened to this man go on and on about how horrible my mother was. It was beginning to make me angry, given the fact that she was dead. She kidnapped us when I was a baby. Chris remembers it. Never said anything. He went looking for us but never found us. Until the day Chris came in looking for trouble.

"Ok... Honestly it all feels like a bunch of bull. Chris I hate you don't talk to me." He rolled his eyes at me. "You... Whoever you really are, you still on my shoot-a-nigga list."

"I can respect that, but now we have business to take care of."

"Fuck that..." I said grabbing my money I had on the table and my gun, throwing them into my purse. I scoffed and turned to Chris. "You can clear your own damn ledger." I started towards the door.

"Chrisieanna do you wanna catch this guy or not." This stranger asked.

I stopped with a tight grip on the door. I could walk out or I could accept they're help. I really don't want to. Half of my mind is saying fuck them. The other knows that I need them. I barely got this far. I could go to another drug lord... No I won't disrespect Chris like that. Fuck. I sighed turning around to face them.

"If we do this... We do it on my terms."

He chuckled heavily. "That depends on the terms sweetheart."

I make my way back to the chair and take my seat. "You will provide protection for my family at all times through this endeavor. Yo-"

"You, Chris and Royalty. That'll be easy."

"Don't. Fuckin. Cut. Me. Off." I sneered through gritted teeth. "My family includes more than just that. My God sister Jhene and her niece Namiko will also be looked after. As well as August, a former employee of yours, and his three nieces. They will be watched and looked after. Along with the rest of August's family."

"That's alot of people Chrissy."

"Chrisieanna." I corrected. "And it will happen or I take my business else where. That'll spread you a bad name. Leaving you contemptible in your enemies eyes. You're own flesh and blood..."

"Fine. Next condition."

"Remove Seraphina."

"I can't."

"Why not? It's apart of my terms. I don't trust her and if I can't trust her I can't trust the man who hired her."

"Let's just say she's a valuable asset to my team."

"Well then..." I rose out of my seat Chris stifling a laugh as I did.

"Chris just sit down." He said still laughing a bit.

"No. If my terms are not met I don't do business. Remove her or lose me. Make a choice Benit."

He looked at me somewhat furious at the proposal. He pondered the idea before he sighed. "Fine. She will me removed temporarily. Is that all?"

"One more thing." He raised an eyebrow at me. "Nothing will stem from this. No father daughter relationship unless I see it fit."

"That's fine with me. Now my term is that you execute him on your own. I'll bring him to you, set it up nice and easy but I will not get my hands dirty for a disrespectful senile and idiotic little girl who went claim me as her father." I let out a hearty laugh.

"Fine by me." I rose up to leave. "You have my contact."

I turned to the door with my head held high and walked in long strides like the Boss Ass Bitch I am.
