JUNIPER

Prologue

Sai'Yanna walked into their skyline penthouse, sitting her shopping bags on the counter. "Yo Sai come here right quick", Bricks called out to her from their in-home movie theater. "Coming baby." She went into their bedroom changing out of her Amiri jeans and fitted graphic tee and into her silk shorts pajama set. Walking back into the kitchen, Sai'Yanna grabbed the bottle of Chambertin and a bottle of water, walking into their theater sitting everything on the table, handing him the bottle.

"Okay baby I got good ne—", before Sai'Yanna knew it Bricks hit her over the head as she stumbled to the floor, covering her head in defense.

"Aghhh", she yelled out.
Bricks grabbed a hand full of her hair, picking her up off of the floor and slamming her into their one of one custom made glass table. "Bitch how could you", he yelled out in rage, "I gave yo sheisty ass everything and this how you thank me." She had no clue what he was talking about but she was soon to find out.

Bricks picked her up sitting her in one of the theater seats. "Have you ever done something to hurt me? And before you answer that think about yo answer before I kill you." Sai'Yanna couldn't even look into his eyes because she knew she wouldn't see the same man she once fell in love with. This man that stood before her was a monster she'd never seen before and she knew after this he'd probably be the only person she'd ever see again.

"No I never did anything to hurt you I swear", she cried out. Without warning Bricks punched her in the stomach as she balled up on the floor. "Get yo raggedy ass up!" She stumbled to her feet as he picked up an envelope exposing the contents inside. Sai'Yanna couldn't believe her eyes and she knew she couldn't explain it, now she was in too deep. Bricks pressed play on the remote, throwing it full force at her face. "I gave you the world and I'm guessing that shit wasn't enough huh? You watched me grieve over my brother and you saw me hurting and now I see the real you." Sai'Yanna tried her best to look away but Bricks fist connected with her face.

She opened her eyes again to avoid being hit again as tears streamed down her cheeks. The video had just started and it was already disturbing to watch and she knew it was going to get worse.

"I watched this shit over thirty times trying to make up scenarios of why you chose me out of all niggas to hurt." He said to her loading his gun pacing the room.

Sai'Yanna sat there as tear after tear fell onto her cheek, clenching her jaw knowing that this was going to be her last breath and he'd never know she was carrying his kids until she was six feet underneath the ground.
