A Detroit Love Thang 3

"Is it about Ariana?"

"No, it's about me and it's about your father, Psycho." Alicia looked up at Niles quizzically.

"What about him Niles? Right now my only problem is our daughter!"

"She plays a big part in this and so do your brother Loko- Lorenzo," he corrected himself.

"Why did you say his street name? I've never told you his street name! Niles what's going on? Did my father take our daughter? Tell me something before I go crazy!" Alicia yelled with tears in her eyes again.

"No, Licia, Psycho," he paused, "Psycho is dead."

"How would you know that?" Alicia asked, shocked a little.

"I know that because, I killed him."

"You did what?" Alicia's demeanor changed from sad to angry. Not just at the fact that Psycho was dead but at the fact that Niles killed someone.

"Five years ago, I hooked up with your brother Lorenzo and we made a plan to set your father up and I killed him."

"You were associated with my brother the whole time?"

"I was associated with your father, too. I joined the drug game and worked under your father. That's how I met your brother and that's how we set up Psycho. I never knew nothing about y'all being related at the time," he pleaded.

"How we were always together and when we weren't, you were at..." Alicia paused, looking at Niles. "You never had a job did you?"

"Alicia I promise you, I'm so sorry!" Alicia shrugged him off.

"What does this have to do with our daughter Niles?" Niles lowered his head staring at the ground. "Niles you better answer my goddamn question now!"

"Not too long ago Lorenzo called me. He told me that some chick named Lozella was claiming to be Psycho's long lost daughter with some chick named Lola and she was coming after me and your brother for revenge, for us killing Psycho. I remember my mom telling me about a lady named Lola when I turned eighteen, one of my father's many whores. But I never knew she had a child."

"Continue!" Alicia ordered. "What about my brother, where is he?"

"Baby, I'm sorry. Lozella killed him." Alicia covered her mouth, she couldn't catch a break today.

"I can't believe this."

"Licia, she the one who grabbed Ariana. She saying I have to go back to the game and work for her, or you and our daughter is dead." Niles walked up to Alicia to embrace her with a hug. She pulled back pushing his arms away.

"Stay away from me!" Niles was caught off guard. "It's all your fault that our daughter is in this position. My brother is dead and my daughter is God knows where. You lied to me, for five years! Was anything you said to me true?"

"Yes baby. I love you and Ariana to death, I swear I do. I wouldn't do anything to hurt y'all, that's why I left the game, baby. For my family."

"No!" Alicia said with snot and tears streaming down her face, pointing at Niles. "If you really loved your family you would've never set any of this in motion. I understand what my father did to you and your mother was downright wrong and cruel, but baby, you couldn't trust me enough to tell me what was going on! You had to lie to me."

"I knew you wouldn't tolerate this. I knew you wasn't trying to be with no thug, no killer!" Niles argued.

"How do you know what I wanted? Had you let me in and let me know something. Niles I thought I knew you. I thought I could trust you, but I see I can't. I can't believe everything I'm hearing. The danger you put our child in." Alicia looked down at her ring, taking it off sitting it on the table. "How could I be with someone like that, that hold secrets." Niles felt his heart break in pieces.

"Licia baby, please."

"Get our daughter back!" As soon as Alicia spoke, Niles' phone rang. He picked it up hearing it was the cops.

"Hello." Niles looked relieved. "Ok, thank you!" Niles hung up the phone. "Licia they found our daughter. She was roaming the streets. They still looking for the perp.

"Well, we already know who that is," Alicia said angrily.

"Baby please, find it in your heart to forgive me. I know you angry now and your heart is broke. I lied to you and I'll forever regret that. I just want you to know I did it because I was hurting and I wasn't thinking. I love you and Ariana so bad. Please don't take my family from me." Alicia stood quietly for a minute.

"Let's go get our daughter. After that you can leave and do whatever it is you have to do and me and Ariana will be moving to my mother's house." Niles felt defeated. He didn't think things were going to be this way but karma sure is hitting him in the face.
