King POV. 

I watched Ashes sleep, I never realized how much I loved her till now. It just hit me like BOOM! All and every feelings I never knew I had came rushing through me when I saw her on the floor. But I still love Eva, I will always love Eva. I believe she is my first love, my love for her is strong even stronger than my love for Ashes but the thing is.. I still love her and I fucked up. 

Ashes began to stir in her sleep, I smiled and stroked her hair. "Good morning." I said. 

"Good morning." She said stretching. "Where am I?" 

"At my house." I gave her a confused look.

"Oh yea.." she said dryly... She reminds me too much of myself, maybe that's why I cant be with her. 

"You hungry, Eva's cooking breakfast." I said handing her a towel and robe. 

"No, I'll be leaving soon." she has no emotion on her face what so ever, and I'm honestly shocked. She was damn near raped and she can just get up and go like nothing happened? 

"You don't have to." I pleaded. 

"Yes I do, excuse me." She took the towel and headed to the bathroom. I followed her in. "King-" I cut her off with a hug. I don't know much about women but I know they like hugs, especially when their hurting, and I know she's hurting. "Don't." Her voice sounded weak. "Please let me go, I don't want you to see me like this." She begged but I just held her. 

"I got you, remember that." She nodded on my chest and sniffed in her emotions and backed up. 

"I have to take a shower." She said looking down. I nodded and gave her privacy. 

Eva Pov. 

I paced back and forth in the kitchen... "Mommy that's the lady who killed daddy." My sons words circled in my head over and over. How could she have any relations to Zhyir? I replayed scenes in my head over and over. I came home, embraced my son and put him to bed and that's when he told me. Then all the flashbacks came back from that night Zy died and I broke all over again. King never saw because he spent the whole night with her, I would have done the same but now? I feel like burning that bitch alive. But I want to know what is the connection between her and King. 

King came down stairs and I quickly wiped my tears and placed the bacon, eggs, pancakes, and butter grits on the table. He came around the island counters and kissed my cheek. "Who is she." I just put it out there, i cant wait any more. 

"An old friend." He simply said. I turned to look at him the man who healed my heart, the man who I am about to marry. He seemed to be telling the truth, but there's something he's not telling me. I went into my purse and pulled out a picture of Zhyir, me and Zavier. 

"Do you know this man?" I showed him the picture and he looked as if he seen a ghost. He stuttered upon his words as he looked back and forth between the picture and me. "How did you know him?" I couldn't help the tears that were falling, "And why is the woman who killed him an Old friend?" finally he sighed and looked down. 

"I don't just run a car dealership, I basically run New York city. I run a cartel and Zhyir used to work for me. One day he stole my money and tried to kill me, multiple times so I killed him." My hand went across his face so fast he damn near fell to the ground. 

"YOU TOOK HIM AWAY FROM ME? YOU COULD HAVE KILLED MY SON!" I sobbed hard as I looked at King with a stunned look on his face. 

"Baby!" 

"NO! I HATE YOU! TAKE YOU'RE BITCH AND GET THE FUCK OUT MY HOUSE!" I took off my ring and threw it at him but it bounced off and hit the ground, so did I. My legs gave out, I couldn't believe the man I was about to marry killed Zy. I felt King's arms wrap around me and for a moment I let him because he became my personal pain reliever, but then I saw that woman jog down the stairs and I got up and charged at her. 

"Bitch!" I punched her one good time in her face and she fell back on the steps but then she grabbed my hair and dragged me down and began punching my face but I swung back until her grip on me was released. I looked up to see King holding her and walking her out the house. 

"FUCK THAT BITCH, I SHOULD OF LET RELL DO WHATEVER THE FUCK HE WAS GOING TO DO WITH YOU. UNGRATEFUL ASS BITCH!" She screamed as she was being carried out. I sat on the steps and put my head in my hands and cried more. I missed Zy so much and only he would know what to say to me to calm me down. 

King walked back in and tried to comfort me but I pushed him off. I grabbed my keys and ran to see Lashay. 

Lashay Pov. 

I love being a mother, I love my daughter so much. I sat in the rocking chair in the nursery singing a lullaby until I heard L yelling at someone downstairs, it sounded like a female. I placed Lialah in the crib and made my way downstairs.  The closer I got I recognized the voice, Eva? 

"I hate him!" Eva yelled and I stood on the side. 

"Whats going on." I asked folding my arms then Eva hugged me sobbing. I unraveled my arms before she got to me and hugged her back. 

"King... Killed....Zy." She got out in between sobs. What? Then I put two and two together. All this damn money ain't come from a car dealership. I married a straight up thug. Yay me. 

After three hours and my grandma's famous chocolate cake, I convinced Eva to go back to King. What? He was there for there for her when she was about to give up on life, he showed her to love again and treat her like a queen. She'd be a damn fool if she didn't go back to King. Plus he is the father of the baby she's carrying.
