SASHA POV

"The meeting will start when China and London arrive." I spoke with Melvin and Marissa the designers.

As soon as I said that the door swung open.

"Hey mama." They said in unsion.

"Hey yall. This is Melvin and Melissa the designers. Melvin and Melissa this is China and London." I spoke.

"Alright now that everyone is here let's get started." Melvin spoke.

"Alright. Do you guys have your portfolio?" Melissa asked.

They both handed over their portfolios.

"These are amazing." Melissa look astonished.

"Thank you. So as you know we have our fashion show coming up. It's going to be huge. How quickly will this be done?" London asked.

"We will definitely have enough ready for the fashion show but unfortanely we will need an extra month to put your clothing in the stores. We will have you website up and running and you will be running your website until we can get the clothes in the store. We have to be sure they will sell. We will see how you website do then we will move on from there." Melvin spoke.

"You're designs are wonderful though and I'm pretty sure they will sell off the racks. It's just precaution. See with Sasha her line has been up and going for a few months now online. Her clothing line is dojng amazing." Melissa said.

"For the fashion show we would like two of each outfits but with different colors." China said.

Everyone nodded.

"We will have samples up and ready in two weeks. Just in time for the photoshoot for the website. "Melvin said.

"Let's talk prices." Melissa said.

"You have good quality clothes and with these designs you can make big bucks." Melvin said.

"Well we agreed that we will make our line affordable for everyone." London spoke.

"Starting at $30 for the plain tees and going up. The most expensive things that will be on the website are our shoes and jewelry." China said.

"What do you think mom?" Melvin said.

"I think my kids know what they want and I think it's a good start for them." I smiled.

"Well that is all for the day. Do you all have any questions?" Melissa asked.

"No. We will just see you guys in two weeks. Two days before the photo shoot." London said.

"That boy has his father's mentality." Melvin laughed.

"I agree." I smirked.

We shoot hands and they departed.

"So children. You did well today. I'm going to reward you with $3,000 this week. We are going to set you up some bank accounts so I can wire you the money. You will also be able to check it only. This account will also be set to your website. Everytime someone buys your product the money will be in your account immediately." I spoke.

"China no spending money just because." London said.

"I also have something else to say." I looked at them.

"Uh oh." China said.

"We will be downgrading the house. As you know Ashley and Ashton are moving out." I said.

"Yea okay go on." China said.

"Little girl don't sass me. Anyway, we are moving into a condo." I smiled.

"Ma we have a lot of stuff. How is that gone fit in a condo?" London asked.

"Glad you asked. I purchased two condos next to each other. Your father, myself and the new baby will stay in one. You, China and possibly Diamond will stay in the other." I spoke.

"Seriously!" They yelled in unison.

"Yes. The rent is paid up to six months already. Rent is $3,000 a month. It has four bedrooms. One room will be turned into a office for your clothing line. You will be responsible for handling your own website and shipping your own products. Your products will be brought to you by either Melissa or Melvin. I will talk to Diamond's parents about the moving in. We are right next door and we will come check on you. We also have our own key to your house as well you will have one to ours. Now you both are doing driving classes for the next two weeks. Whoever don't pass don't get a car. I'm really being lenient considering the events that went on. Don't fuck up and make me regret this." I said sternly.

"Okay." They nodded.

They went their separate ways and I went to meet with Ricardo.

I pulled up at the park and seen Ricardo sitting on his car texting.

"What's up?" I greeted him.

"Hey Sasha." He smiled and hugged me. "You ready to get this three mile walk in?" 

"Yes sir." I nodded.

"Let's do it then." He said.

We started walking the trail.

"So how are you holding up?" I asked.

"I'm good. It's not a suprise what that whore would do. Nothing she does suprise me anymore." He spat.

"What do you mean? And why now are you speaking down on her? I mean she is your wife." I said.

"Sasha it's a lot you don't know about us. Veronica use to be the love of my life. She was with me way before I started my company and had money. Once we got money she changed. She has done things that I could have divorced her for a long time ago. But I loved her and I stuck by her giving her chance after chance. Now I give up. The money I had in my savings was only$200,000 thank god. I'm glad I got my private account that only has my name on it or I would have been fucked out of millions. It's over man. The trust been gone and the love disappeared shortly after. Now I'm looking for me and Romeo a new place to live." He spoke.

"Whoa. So where have you looked so far for a place to live?" I asked.

"Mainly Downtown and East Atlanta." He spoke." The houses I seen just aint me ya know."

"Well we are moving also. Check out the condos by Bennett street downtown." I spoke.

"I'll look into that. How are you, Elijah, the unborn and twins?" He asked.

"Elijah and I are great. The baby is great so far we have a appointment soon to check on it. China is doing good. London on the other hand is going to stress me out. He supposedly got this girl pregnant. He thinks it is his but we are still doing a DNA test. We are giving him a sense of responsibility. They are getting a condo next door to us. If the baby is his she will move in with them. All I know is when report cards come out they better be on point. They did well at their meeting though. They handled themselves really well. " i spoke.

"Girl you sound stressed. But that's not good for the baby Sasha you need to stop that shit and sit down some damn where."  Ricardo said.

"I know and I am. In three months. I have to get the fashion show together and the store. When that is settled then I will settle. The magazine and label are already taken care of though." I replied.

"That's good. Look at my bestfriend finally enjoying life and being happy. I'm happy for you Sash." Ricardo smiled.

"That's Car." I hugged him.

"Now enough of that mushy shit. Race you to the car." Ricardo said running off.

I ran off behind him.
