Ria

It has been a couple of weeks since Rico's last doctors appointment and he has been walking around more than anybody else! He wants to do any and everything he can to improve his back I praise him for that.

It was around 10 o'clock going on 11 when I almost finished setting up designs for my office. I was going to have the people come and put my logo on the windows and everything tomorrow.

I was typing away on my laptop trying to make schedules when my phone went off.

Rico: What time you gone be home?? Know Ion like you out late by yourself babe 💜

Ria: I'll be there within the next hour I promise.

Rico texted me again but my phone was dying so I went out to my car to grab my charger. I unlocked the door and all of a sudden I see someone step out of the alley. I tried to hurry up and find my charger before they started to act funny but luckily I found it fast.

I got out and locked my car hurrying back inside when I heard the alleyman speak

"Well well well. If it isn't Miss S'erria Crews! Got her art business together, doing her thang." The man spoke walking closer. The closer they got I noticed they had mask on.

"Whoever you are just leave me alone! I've done nothing to no one!" I shouted trying to open the door but someone else grabbed me from behind.

"HEL-" my screams were muffled as the masked man came face to face with me sliding his mask off. It was Jacob. This crazy muhfucker.

"Oh God please don't kill me please don't kill me"

"You thought you could just leave me. I thought I had Rico out of your life. Guess its you the one that has to go." All of a sudden I was knocked out cold. Everything else after was numb.

Rico

I know goodness gah damn well Ria said she would be home in a hour. That was at 11 o'clock. Here it is going on 1 o'clock. Her office not that damn busy.

I got up and went to make sure the girls were okay but I forgot they were at my pops crib. I sighed slipping on my shoes and grabbing my keys. I got in my car and headed down to her office. As I turned the corner I drive slow as I saw her car sitting there. Everything just seemed to be off. I parked behind her car got out. I saw her charger laying by her front tire.

"Damn shawty don't wanna lose this." I laughed walking over to pick it up. Since the brace I've been able to bend and shit.

I walked up to her office door and noticed it was cracked open. I went in slowly not knowing why the fuck she would leave her shit open.

"Ria?" I called out. It was silent as hell in here. I looked around the lounge. My baby had it nice it here. I walked around not knowing where to go since this was my first time being in here.

"Ria.. Girl I know you ain't in here sleep." I chuckled as I found a door that read "Boss". I slowly opened the door and looked around noticing the lights were off. I saw a computer with a desk but no Ria. I saw her phone and work still on the desk as well as her laptop. I walked around the desk and sat down in her chair.

"Aw she got a got a picture of us." I cooed at the picture. It was when we were 18. I looked at her work on the desk with the flash light on my phone. I sighed and got up walking out to go upstairs. I was in the lounge when I saw a figure running towards the door.

"Ria?" I asked. She looked my way and started to run out. I ran after her catching her trying to open her car door but it was locked. I grabbed her and she dropped down holding her arms up trying to block herself.

"Please Jacob no!" She yelled out. I looked at her in shock noticing her she was shaking, crying and covered in blood and bruises.

"Ria what happened to you?!" I asked reaching for her. She flinched and backed away from me like I was going to hurt her. I picked her up bridal style feeling her shake uncontrollably in my arms.

She started to cry her arms out. I mean she cried like she was scared for her life. Her chest heaved up and down as she let out loud cries in my chest.

"Rico I have to get out of here." She cried out. That was the last thing I remember her saying after I just put her in my car driving her to the emergency room.
