"Someone has waged war on you"


My mind was going at 200mph to try to figure out a solution

My mind was going at 200mph to try to figure out a solution. I made some calls to ensure Mariah and Tahj's daughter was safely with Tahj's mom. I could only imagine how scared she was.

"Izzy I have to go. You can hang out here. I don't know when I'll be back or if I will. If for any reason I don't come back, leave in the morning as you originally planned." His eyes filled with worry. I wasn't trying to be cryptic.

I finally found something appropriate to wear for the occasion. Izzy laid in my bed with a joint in his hand. "I'm coming with you."

"No you're not. I don't have time to argue about it. Do what we said and go home and marry Mya. This ghetto fairytale is over. It's not realistic or conducive to either of our lifestyles." I stopped scrambling to look him in the eyes. I really needed him to understand where I was coming from. I crawled to hover over him and placed his face in my hands. "You can't be around me right now. Go live your life. If what that palm reader said is true, then we will find our way back. I have to go."

He nodded and kissed me. "Where are you headed right now?"

"To get my husband out of jail."

I walked into my lawyer Michael's office fighting passed the paparazzi. I declined to answer any questions regarding the arrests that were made. I could feel my anxiety crippling my thoughts as I pressed 5 on the elevator. I did not like not having control. I was so powerless at this point. I felt hopeless and overwhelmed. So many people depended on me and I promised them we would stay out of jail. Now here we are getting arrested weekly.

I damn near kicked Michael's door down.

"Michael what the fuck is going on? How did this happen?"

I was even more pissed that he seemed so relaxed. I was about to have to go full on Coca to get my people out and he was sitting with his feet kicked up, hardly paying me any mind. "Don't worry. These charges won't stick." "I can't wait to see if these charges won't stick. I need to know what the fuck is going on NOW."

"They were pulled over coming from a shady area. The cop is lying saying that he saw the three of them threatening a man. They're saying the man was a witness. They won't tell me his name. All I know is that the man hasn't been seen since. Because of the Xavier James death they are doing everything they can to prevent witness tampering."

"So if they were arrested after threatening him, what does his disappearance have to do with them? He was seen walking off right?"

"It's bullshit. The cop didn't talk to the man to know if he was threatened. It's all speculation."
