Narrator POV

Shawn peeked his head up from under the bed to see Ranisha and the 2 body guards twisted up on the floor lifeless. "Clear" , one of the men wearing the same riot gear suit as Dmoney said walking in the room and checking the closet then the bathroom. Lawrence ran in the room like it was on fire, to rush and untie Shawn and Kasey. Once Lawrence confirmed no one was badly injured , wounds were tended to. He called the maids upstairs and informed them of the situation. Sooner than later the maids appeared back upstairs fully equipped with professional cleaning tools and steel toe boots. Lawrence equipped the maids and the construction crew he hired with hard hats just to be sure. Dmoney , Shawn, and Lawrence conversed together in the upstairs den amongst the drilling and hammering sounds coming from down the hall. Even though it was around 2 in the morning everyone was hard at work cleaning and repairing items as normal.

In another guest bedroom upstairs on the opposite side of the hall from Shawn's room Seriya sat and tried to console a traumatized Kasey. Seriya turned on the sound maker she received as a gift from Colorado and played the soothing water fall sound. It seemed to just barely calm Kasey down as she was completely hysterical. Seriya took out a vape pen that she had stashed away in a nearby drawer and handed it to Kasey. Kasey held the vape pen like she didn't even know what it was " Seriya you know I can't smoke" she said motioning to her poking belly. "It's Cbd oil not tobacco silly, I used smoke it sometimes when I was pregnant and really needed it. It's 100% natural, and I'm not supposed to say this but Dr.Seech suggested it ya know for emergency use only" Seriya explained. Kasey looked at the vape again and hesitated,then slowly inhaled the smoke from the pen. She let it out with a small sigh of relief. "Wow this stuff works fast" she said inhaling from the pen again. Seriya laughed and laid beside Kasey casually inhaling from the pen every now and then. As the air was filled with a sweet scent of raspberry cheesecake the women continued to talk amongst themselves getting to know one another better. They shared dark secrets from their past (even about Shawn) , goals, hopes, and dreams for the future drawing them in closer to one another as they bonded over a tragic event.

Around 3 am once the maids and construction crew were wrapping up , Slick appeared at the top of the stairs red in the face and out of breath. " I came as soon as I could, is everybody alright? Where is Malaysia?? " Slick said frantically trying to catch his breath. "Ayo my man chill out we got everything back to normal, and as for Malaysia the poor girl slept thru everything. We checked on her once we stabilized the house" Lawrence reassured him. " ohh okay then so what happened exactly? " Slick asked sitting down ,trying to calm himself. Lawrence ,Shawn and Dmoney caught him up to speed on everything that had happened that night. They continued to work together as a unit and Slick eventually stopped working for Brian's sleezy ass because he wanted to keep the family business as such. Lawrence didn't mind everyone staying at the mansion , he was glad to have one big happy family and he was ready for more grandkids. Lawrence and Rosa were finally married , and Adrian eventually got over whatever issue he had as far as not wanting to get to know his siblings better. Kasey and Shawn had their baby Savannah and got married as well. Fortunately nobody knows Slick killed Topaz under Brian's orders, and Slick is taking that secret with him to the grave. After they found her body in the slums off Candler Rd, Ranisha ended up on the news with fake ass friends and family crying over her. I'm sure that didn't come as a surprise. Kandice and Darius have since sorted things out, and worked on their marriage and are looking forward to having more babies soon. Now we skip forward to the best part, last but not least Dmoney and Seriya's wedding💖

7 Months later - The Big Wedding💍🎂

As the months drew closer and the year nearing its end , the day for Dmoney and Seriya to wed finally approached. They definitely saved the date, not on their own accord. Sadly had no one been trying to kill the family they would have pushed the date sooner. Seriya played with Ariya as she tried to say her first words."Ma ma ma... mama" Ariya managed to get out. "Omg she said mama, You are gonna be the prettiest flower girl I've ever seen ma" Seriya said bouncing her upon her knee excitedly . "Yes she definitely will , this will be one for the books" Malaysia laughed taking Ariya from her. Malaysia continued to play with Ariya while Seriya fixed her hair and make up. " I can't believe this day is finally here are you nervous boo?" Malaysia smiled over at Seriya. " Maybe a little bit I have dreamed of this moment my whole life, all I ever wanted was this life good or bad." Seriya cheesed as a knock came from the door. "Mrs. Wylds they are ready for you in the main hall" one of the ushers called in before closing the door. Malaysia handed Ariya to her nanny who had been standing close by. "Girl this is it" they both said standing up. "I'm gonna get back out there and make sure mom ain't terrorizing people ya know family of the groom lol, you'll be fine. I promise." Malaysia said giving Seriya a quick hug and kiss before exiting. " You have been waiting for this moment your whole life baby girl, now it's finally here. You betta go out there and get yo man boo" she chuckled snapping to herself. Another knock at the door startled Seriya. "I'm coming I'm coming " she said sitting down rushing to put on her heels. " Hey its just me, can I come in" Shawn said peeking his head in the doorway. " Umm yea sure come in, I was just finishing up" Seriya said facing the mirror. "What's up ?" She said pretending to fix her makeup. Her and Shawn might have been on speaking terms but that did not excuse the slight awkward tension she felt around him. "Well for starters you look really beautiful.... and I wanted to give you this" He said walking over to her. Seriya turned around to reveal what Shawn was holding, a gorgeous gold ,pearl and diamond bracelet. "Shawn you didn't have to do this" Seriya said in awe. " The saying something old,
something new, something borrowed and something blue still stands today. Me and Dmoney already agreed that you should have this." Shawn looked down at her wrist admiring Seriya as he helped her put the bracelet on. Shawn's hand lingered for a moment as his mouth opened to say something but was interrupted by the same usher from earlier "Mrs.Wylds are you ready for me to escort you to the main hall" he said walking into the room. Shawn's hand flew to his side and his posture straightened "Yes she has everything she needs, I was just leaving." Shawn bade Seriya a good luck and disappeared through the large double doors. Seriya stood up adjusting her dress , taking one last look at herself in the mirror as she took the usher's arm and strutted to the main hall. Once she stood outside of the grand hall she took a deep breath and gave the signal for the huge doors to be opened. When the doors opened Quan dressed in a cute black and white suit, carried the rings while he pulled Ariya who was tossing flowers about with her tiny hands - in a cute white wagon. The entire wedding was beautiful with red, pink and white roses adorned on the walls and pews of the church. Seriya stepped down the aisle as Share my Life by Kem played in the background, her dress was a deep cherry red mermaid dress that she accessorized with sandals and beaded seashells. Seriya finally stood at the altar with Dmoney in front her. They exchanged how they felt about about each other , and how their love for one another had grew over a short period of time then they exchanged rings as they said the sacred words. Once they read their vows and said I do, cheers erupted from all over the church hall as close friends and family applauded the bride and groom. Rice was thrown , as Dmoney and Seriya walked down the aisle hand in hand. As tradition the bride tossed her bouquet in the seething crowd of women only for it to land directly in the hands of her sister Malaysia. Seriya shared a wink with her sister as they hugged each other tightly, saying how they would instagram each other every other day. Dmoney scooped Ariya into his arms as Lawrence clapped him on the back happily. Dmoney joined Seriya in the hummer limo in front of the church, as everyone said the last of their farewells. The window rolled down as cameras flashed, Seriya, Dmoney, and Ariya while they rolled off into the sunset on their way to Cancun, Mexico for their honeymoon. The big wedding reception is still to be announced.
