I put on my pink blazer after sliding into my heels.

Today I was wearing a white tee shirt, pink vinyl pants, a pink bedazzled blazer, and a pair of white red bottoms.

I wore all of my jewelry to top everything and my hair was curled.

Once I got finished getting dressed, I texted my chauffeur letting him know that he could just park in the front.

"Everest you wanna take mama's pictures?"I asked her as she followed me from the bathroom to my room.

I threw my belongings in my all while Birkin before heading downstairs.

Everest knew I was about to leave so she started crying.

"Mommy's gonna be back really soon baby, you have food and water so you're fine. Just don't tear my house up!"I said before heading to the front door.

She followed me of course and once I left out of the house, I went to the all black suburban waiting on me.

Brian was standing outside already holding the door opened for me.

"Thanks!"I said while getting inside of the truck.

"You're welcome"

I just know his ass is gonna be sick of me, especially tonight.

"Congratulations!"he said to me and I smiled.

"Thank you again."

"Ready? You got everything?"

"Yes sir, let's roll"

"Let's do it"he said before pulling off.

"Oh my gosh there's so many people here!!"I exclaimed while looking at the crowd in front of my store as we pulled up to it.

"Yes there is"Brian said before getting out of the car and coming to open the door for me.

I grabbed my things before getting out of the truck.

There was a photographer taking pictures so of course I had to stop and pose for the camera.

I walked up to and through the crowd who were cheering loud with my bodyguard, James, who I hired.

Once we got in front of the store, I stood next to Pam who was holding a jumbo pair of scissors behind the ribbon.

Everybody knew I was about to give a speech so they were quiet.

"Thank you all for coming out, this means so much to me! If you took time out of your day to come up here and celebrate this with me then I love you dearly. Inside there are plenty of new clothing pieces, and the exclusive ones. Everything is just about fifty percent off, and the building. Oh the building, I don't know if you can tell from the outside, but the inside looks good as new. After having to have this building remodeled twice, I hope that this is the last time. You know they say the third times a charm!... Anyways thank you all for co—"I began to say before I heard Sam and Skylar.

"Skylar come back over here girl!"she said while trynna grab her and I looked at them and gasped.

"Wh- y'all gone make me cry already! Who invited my— oh my gosh"I said before turning away from the crowd and shedding a few tears.

Most of my family were standing to the left of me and I didn't even notice, shit even Lontrell and Tomiya.

I wasn't expecting any of them because everybody except my parents told me that they wouldn't be able to make it.

"Brought a box of tissues because I knew this would happen"one of my fans who were in front of me said and I grabbed one.

"Thank you so much!!!"

Once I was finished, I finished up my speech before cutting the ribbon and going inside with everybody else.

While I was talking to my dad, someone walked up to me holding a big ass bouquet of white roses.

"Ms. Taylor!"I heard and I looked up seeing Luciano Lombardi.

Luciano was this fine ass Italian entrepreneur.

He owns multiple clubs, restaurants, and Casinos not only here in the U.S. but outside of the country also.

If I had to guess I'd say that he'd be the richest person in here right now.

"Hi Mr. Lombardi!"I exclaimed.

"Congratulations!"he said while handing me the flowers.

"Oh my gosh! Thank you so much!"I said while grabbing them before giving him a side hug.

"It's my pleasure. I had received an invitation from Pam and I got lucky to be in town so I decided to stop by"

"Uh yea! I'm glad you did, these are so beautiful!"

"Ho—"

"Susu I'm proud of you baby girl!"my dad said cutting Luciano off.

"Thanks dad"I said while looking in between him and Luciano.

"Is this your dad? Hi sir"he said while holding his hand out.

"Mr. Lombardi, what's up man!"my dad said while dapping him back up.

"Wait..are you Mr. Taylor— Khalick Taylor?"he asked him and my dad nodded.

"We've met before, wasn't it at the Felicità Lounge?"he asked referring to his club.

"Yea yea..."my dad said before they began having a whole conversation about business.

I got tired of feeling invisible so I walked away.

Now not only do I have one other big ass bouquet of roses but I have two now.

Lontrell bought me one but the roses were orange.

I took them to my office before going back out where everybody else were.

"Mommy tell him to give me my phone!!"Sienna yelled while chasing Cali and 30's son around.

"Sienna!! Hey, hey y'all stop running in here!"I semi yelled at the two.

They slowed down but Sienna didn't stop chasing him for her phone.

I headed over to where my mom and everybody were at.

"What's up sis?"Stunna said.

"Hey brother!"

"Congratulations!"he said while handing me a Chanel shopping bag.

"Thank you old man"I said while grabbing the bag and rubbing his hair.

"I ain't too old now"he said and I chuckled.

"Mhm wassup with ya bitch ass baby daddy huh?"he said while staring deeply into someone's soul.

When I turned around, I saw him staring at Lontrell who was talking with 30.

"Stunna don't start!"

"Please don't"my mama said while walking up to us.

"Aight Aight"

"Landon if you don't get that sh- get that off of my head, I'm not playing with you!"my mama said to him.

"What are you doing?"I chuckled while looking at him.

"He keeps putting that dirty ass hat on my head!"she whispered.

"Grandma, your booty is huge"I heard and I looked down seeing Samaria, squeeze her ass.

"I'm finna hurt one of y'all, Suhan get your damn kids!"

"Y'all leave my mama alone"

"Have you talked to your sister?"she asked me.

"No ma'am"

"Alright I'll be back"

"Mama don't go g—"I began to say and she headed over to Tomiya.

"Be good mommy"Sam said to me and I rolled my eyes at her causing her to laugh.

"Only because this is my place of business"I said and Tomiya walked up to me along with my mom.

"Hey girl, I know we weren't on good terms the last time I saw you but I'm just here to congratulate you and support you. No matter what you're still my younger sister and I'll always love you. I apologize for the all of the drama I put you and your family through as well as our family. By me being the bigger person, can we start over and just leave all of that shit in the past?"

"Of course, I missed my sister anyways"I said before we hugged.

"Suhan!?"I heard someone calling my name and I look behind Tomiya seeing Pam standing there with John Wall.

He was dressed in a buttoned down shirt with some black capri, and dress shoes.

He had a fresh cut and he had on a pair of shades.

Once I let go of Tomiya I walked over to them.

"Hi!"I exclaimed.

"What's up miss lady, congratulations!"he said while handing me a small vase of red roses and like two bags from Saks.

He pulled me into a hug catching me off guard.

"If it wasn't for this lady right here, you wouldn't even be receiving anything from me"he said while placing his hand on Pamela's shoulder.

"Well thanks to the both of you."

"You're welcome, I was just stopping by for a couple of minutes to show some love. I'm on my way to an interview"he said while staring me in my eyes.

"Thank you for stopping by, you don't wanna take a snack to go or anything?"

"Nah I'm fine, I apprec—"he began to say before Landon cut him off.

"Damn how you end up here at my mama's grand opening?"he asked him causing us to laugh.

"This is you son?"

"Yea this is my big baby, Landon"

"Yea I know, you play for the Wildcats over at Travis right?"He asked him and he nodded.

🙄

They began talking about basketball and I cut them off.

"Okay that's enough basketball talk, Mr. Wall has to leave and you have to go take pictures with your siblings."I said.

"Before I go, you gone let me take ya mama out sometime?"he asked Landon and I laughed before pushing John.

"Don't ask him that, get out!"I said while gently pushing him.

"I'm kidding I'm kidding, no I ain't"he said before mouthing the last part to me.

"John let's go, Um security!"I playfully exclaimed.

"Oh so you gone kick me out?"

"You was gone get kicked out anyways!"

"Aight I'll see you later"he said and I laughed.

"Goodbye, good luck"

I watched as he got into the truck before they pulled off.

I had a feeling that someone was staring at me and when I turned around I saw Lomtrell, he had an evil look on his face.

Instead of starting something I just went over to my workers and talked to each one of them.
