"How long did you think you were gonna keep this secret?" Candy asked Gino.

They were in an argument , she was sick of him moping around showing her no attention. It wasn't selfish in her eyes hell she'd raised those kids to she raised them with a lie though. In the back of her mind she always knew the time would come when they realized both of them were horrible people. Now it was time for them to move on.

"Long enough to explain myself" Gino said in a duh tone.

"You had plenty of time ! You chose to wait this long" Candy accused.

Gino was taken back Candy was just as guilty as himself. They were in this together , well at least he thought so.

"And you were by my side. Face it your just as guilty as me!" Gino  matter of factly stated.

"And I regret it . It wasnt our place. Looking into their eyes everyday knowing I'm taken them from there God chosen father was painful" Candy was now reminiscing.

Those kids made her happy , but she was quilty of depriving them from there father regardless of her happiness.

"Well you should have thought of that then" Gino said leaving the room. Leaving Candy alone reminiscing.

.............

"Can you leave him" Robert asked her.

"He's too powerful" Candy whispered to her secret lover.

"I don't know how much longer i can do this Candy" Robert explained.

Candy understood but she loved him so much , he made life easier. Gino was getting to involved with these streets. She was tired of the lies. With Robert things were different she was herself , she didn't have to live a lie.

"I know baby" Candy gently caressed her lovers cheek looking into his eyes. They just finished making love she was loving this moment looking into the eye of the man she loved.

*Boom* Roberts naked body fell limp onto hers she began screaming pleading for him to wake up. Until Gino's deep voice echoed in the room

"I hope you realize what you just did" he told her.

Candy knew Gino was dangerous hell she'd witnessed a lot of things. Day by day she began realizing exactly how Gino was.

"Why!!?" she asked.

"Till death do us part. Either you die with him or I forget you just cheated on me" Gino said.

Gino was a good guy with a bad temper , he knew his wife was cheating on him. This was his first time actually following her though. What he saw shot rage all through his body. Another man seeing his wife's nature , he couldn't control his emotions. The gun did it for him. Candy reluctantly chose to stay with the Gino. She did love him , its just Robert was fresh something different. That was damn near 20 years ago Gino and Candy been through so much.

...........

"Most likely she called to confirm things to make it seem real" Roy explained to Shawn.

"Damn he was that set on making sure his brother was in jail" Shawn sarcastically spoke.

Roy had nothing to say. When Shawn was away he realized how Gino really was. Roy knew everything about Shawn's kids. So when he started hearing how Gino had them working for him he was disappointed. The streets show no love ! The fact that Gino had them doing such dangerous things and making them believe certain things made him realize Shawn's jail time was no coincidence. Roy longed to tell his boys kids about their father but he knew it just wasn't his place so he watched from a distance.

The streets were talking , Shanel and James were not people to fuck with. In a way this made Roy smile a little they were just like there daddy there biological daddy. He knew his boy wouldn't want his kids living this life but hell what could he do ?

A knock on the door stopped Shawn from his pacing to go see who was at the door.

"Who is it?" Shawn asked looking out the peephole.

"James. Automatically hearing his sons voice he quickly unlocked and opened the door. James stood there with a blank face. He had been up all night once again , the only way he could sleep is if Shanel was cuddling him.

"I can't sleep man" James started.

"It's been bothering me ever since that night at dinner you were set up weren't you?" James asked.

"Son sit down" Shawn told him. James sat across from Roy

. Looking at Roy he thought he looked familiar , he just couldn't put his finger on it.

"It's always been fishy to me , i was set up and i knew it " Shawn said.

"Gino was selfish " he added shaking his head. Roy stepped in

"All it took was a phone call. Gino made sure your dad was selling on clark street" . James took all this in.

"I want them to pay" James stated
