S/N: For some reason this song was stuck in my head all while writing it hints the title 😊
Messiah sat at his desk frustrated, raking his brain trying to figure out who would want him dead. He'd been in the game only 2 years with no issues, so the sudden beef was confusing him.
Now all of a sudden niggas was coming out the woodwork looking for his stash spots. Even knew where his bestfriend laid her head, meaning they had been watching him for a minute now.
He cursed himself for not being alert at all times and slipping up the way he did. Since Tonya was on his mind he reached in his pocket to grab his phone and dial her number. He hadn't talked to her in two weeks and it was definitely taking a toll on him mentally.
The phone rung about five times before he was sent to voicemail. "What the fuck" he grumbled. She always answered his calls and text unless she was mad at him, just to be sure he called her again. Once again he got the voicemail, he sighed deeply and ran his hand down his face.
Messiah would be lying to himself if he said he didn't love LaTonya as more than a friend, he actually wanted to make things official with her but with everything going on he didn't feel like it was the best time.
They've known each other for as long as he could remember, their dads were bestfriends which made them bestfriends by default. After her dad died his dad tried to fill that void but ended up catching a charge leaving just him to protect her.
Not only was he responsible for protecting her, but he also had to look out for his mother. His mom was sick in early stages of breast cancer. She had some good day and some bad days but for the most part she was doing well.
This was the motive behind him selling weed, most people thought because of how much money he had he was selling more than that. In reality he just stacked before he started spending wildly, then he started being the main distributor for his side of town increasing his profits.
For the most part he was living a great lifestyle. He bought his mom a house where he occasionally stayed from time to time. He had his own apartment, but spent most nights with Tonya and Toya. Siah had offered many time for them to come live with him or his mother but each time Tonya declined. She didn't wanna feel like a burden on him or his mother.
Getting back to the task at hand, nobody really knew who he was in the game because he stayed in the shadows, allowing only a couple of people to know his true identity. Which brought him to the realization that someone in his camp was slithering. He couldn't understand why because he thought himself out to be a pretty fair boss.
His workers didn't really owe him a thing but loyalty. They had a 80/20 rule where workers would give him 20% of their monthly earnings and go on about their business. What boss you know did that? Most bosses needed 50%, maybe even 60%. Siah didn't need their money, all he asked for was loyalty.
