After that night I. Found out Cj died. I left and went back. To Chicago with Jamal. Since I had a gun to my head. I decided to leave and just go. Ever since we got back. All I been doing is. Going to my charity's for kids. And teens. Helping them and paying for the new brand clothes. While still investing in my. Business since I signed a contract with Nike for. 30% of every adidas shoes. Sold. I was just getting into the. House when I felt a hard slap come across. My face sending me to the ground. I looked up to see Jamal with a belt. "Please don't" I said. As the belt made contact with my body. I scream from it hitting my. Previous open whips marks. "Stop" I screamed. In pain after he was done. He left. Going to work. I ran into the bathroom lifting up my shirt. To see whiplash marks on. My back. I cried sinking down. Into the shower.

That the doctor. Called and said. Cj is still alive. She's in coma. Ms. Diana told me. To never bring. My demon baby. Around her. Parts of town. Unless she wants me to kill it. Like he killed Cj. I looked at her. As she looked like she was. Just sleeping. "Ight. I'll see. You tomorrow. I love you. Babe" I said. Kissing her lips. Since. The doctor said she could hear. And feel everything. I grabbed my baby bag then. Left going by FoodMart then. Home.
