"The body of the last missing Williams sister has been found floating in a river near the family home in Oakland. Police are trying to find the killer who they believe is responsible for all four deaths that's have taken place over the last month."

"You hear that baby? It's so sad." I sniffled wiping my tears. "Can you believe it. They all died a week apart." I told Jace as he walked in.

"Yeah. You want something to eat?"

I frowned at him being so calm. "Baby... Is there something you want to tell me?" He quickly shook his head no. "No why?"

"You've been acting funny since we came home from the hospital last month."

"I'm good."

"Stop lying to me Jace. Be honest please..." I sighed and tied my hair into a ponytail. "You had something to do with what went down in Oakland?"

"What? Why would you think some shit like that?!" He yelled. "Did you?"

"I been here with you and Mani 24/7. How could I have something to do with that shit going on?"

I shrugged. "Nic I promise you. I haven't done anything." He said pulling me onto his lap. "You believe me?" I felt him kissing on my neck.

"I guess."

"Good cause I'm telling you the truth baby girl."

•••••• ••••••

"Oh wait Nicki you gotta support her neck, like this." My mom said pushing me out of the way so she could hold Armani.

I had been trying to give MY baby a bath for the last 20 minutes but my mom felt the need to interfere every 2 seconds.

"Hey baby." She smiled kissing Armani's forehead. I rolled my eyes. "Okay, can I do it now?"

"Oh." She mumbled finally moving out of the way. And as soon as I touched baby girl I heard my mom yell. "No-"

"Ma chill! She's my daughter let me do it! Why you gotta control everything-"

"I'm just trying to help. I don't know what it is with you Nicki. I try and I try with you but you just fight against me." She argued, just then Jace entered the bathroom after hearing her yelling.

"BECAUSE YOU'RE A CONTROL FREAK AND I HATE YOU!" I screamed, grabbing Mani as I wrapped her up in a towel. "Hey!" Jace snapped looking at me like I was crazy.

"Mom I'm sor-" I started to say but she just shook her head and walked towards the door. "I'm just gonna leave."

"Mom please." I begged trying to apologise but she quickly left.

"What the fuck Nicki!" Jace said. "I didn't mean it. It just came out-"

"Go apologise, you need her to help you with Armani."

I stood back, frowning. "I don't need her help! What are you trying to say? That I can't raise my daughter myself?"

He sighed and shook his head." No it's just your mom knows what she's doing."

I chuckled coldly. "Oh yeah? Who told you that? Because the fucking nanny raised me as my MOTHER was too busy shopping and making sure she was good before she remembered she had two kids at home."

"I'm just saying-"

"No you're not saying nothing. Leave me alone Jace."

•

"You held my daughter?!" I said through gritted teeth, looking at Shaun who was badly beat up and tied to a chair in the basement of my club.

"Well after no response from all those letters I sent I figured you didn't get them or needed a reminder." He chuckled.

"You think you're so funny right?"

"Tez." I called and Tez smirked walking over to us with an iPad in hand.

"Before your little sister was killed I took the liberty of recording it so you wouldn't miss out." I explained as Tez set up the video.

He held it up and let Shaun watch it. I noticed him growing angry which is exactly what I wanted.

"Please I have nothing to do with any business my brother has! Shaun help me!" We heard his sister cry on the video as one of my men took a knife and began slicing her bare thighs.

Shaun looked away but I grabbed his face and made him look at it. "You see that? You hear how she screamed for you? See how the life drained from her body?"

"You're a dead man Jayceon." He spat moving around trying to untie himself.

"Really? Look around see where the fuck you are!" I said gesturing at everyone.

"You're gonna jump me? I thought you was a real G."

"Lorenz untie him" "Wha-" I gave him a look to shut up. "Untie him!" I repeated.

Once he was free he jumped up and charges for me, he swung hitting me in my jaw twice. "That's all nigga?" I chuckled as I clenched my fist hard and knocked him down. He fell on the floor and I watched as he struggled to get up.

I kicked him a few times and then turned to walk away. "Jace watch out!" Shaun jumped up and tried to tackle me to the ground but he was beat up and weak.

Range took over me and I continued to punch his face until I heard several cracks. His jaw was broke and I was pretty sure he was dead. I let him go and let his body fall sluggishly on the floor.

After they moved his body and cleaned up the blood I was ready to go home until one of the new guys Dean approached me.

"Boss I forgot to give you this. We found it on his sister, the one we buried." He said handing me a Barbie pink box.

"This some nice shit" I said opening the box seeing the chain. "For real those real diamonds too." He said.

•

"Baby" I said to Nicki when I got home and saw her laying on the couch watching some real housewives shit.

"What?" She replied dryly.

"You still mad at me?" She looked up at me and stared blankly. "Really Nic? It's been three days."

"I'm not mad, leave me alone." She mumbled. "Where's Armani?" I asked as I kicked off my shoes and laid on top of her.

"Sleeping nigga. Move!" She said trying to wiggle from out of my grip. But I secured my arms around her waist so she couldn't move. "I got you something."

Suddenly her face lit up. "What is it?"

I laughed at her change in attitude. "Oh now you wanna talk to me?"

"I'm not playing with you Jace. Give me my gift or go away."

"Here." She grabbed the box from me and quickly opened it, I noticed her trying to hide her smile as she saw the chain.

"You have something to say?"

"Thanks..." She whispered. "And?" She sucked her teeth and mumbled. "I love you."

"I love you too, now go get dressed we going out"

"Where we going?

"To my aunts then were about to go shopping baby girl." She nodded and stood up to go get changed.

•

I walked down to the basement of my aunts house to find Nicki taking a bunch of pictures with my cousins Quan and Marquis.

Of course baby girl had to be wearing her new chain, it looked real good on her too.

"Oouu y'all look real cute here, Nic your bag lit as fuck I wish Jace selfish ass would treat me, his favourite little cousin to a new Chanel bag." Lexi said as she took the last picture of Nicki and Quan.

"Lexi shut the fuck up!" I said pushing her playfully.

"Nic come." She walked over to me and wrapped her arms around my torso looking up at me. "We going?" I nodded. "Oh okay,"

She let me go and went over to hug Lexi, Quan & Marquis. "Alright sis, don't be a stranger, if you need anything you know I got your back." Marquis said.

"Congrats on the baby too, lil mama look just like you." Nicki smiled thanking him, she then turned and stuck her tongue out at me laughing because Quis was the first person to tell her Armani looked like Nicki, I know this nigga was lying too because baby girl looked just like me.

"Quan hit me up about that Vegas deal." I said. "What Vegas deal?" Nicki asked.

"Don't worry about it."

•

It was coming up to 3am and I was about to fall asleep until Nicki spoke up. "Jace?" She said softly. "Yeah"

She took a deep breath, then I felt her move so she was now straddling me, looking in my eyes. "What happened to Shaun?"

"I don't know. Just know YOU don't have to worry about him."
