Dave rolled over in the queen sized bed, the hot sun blared through the sheer curtains drapped above the large windows that led out to the balcony. He felt all over the bed and was met by cold space, he opened his eyes and he was indeed alone. Furrowing his brows, he cleared his throat and sat up, the room was oddly quiet.

Normally, Sinai would have found her way on top of his chest and Naala was on the other side of them, wrapped in the sheets - but today he was alone. He rose out of the bed and padded to the bathroom, still no trace of his family.

Dave proceeded to do his hygiene and go and check where they could be. He stepped out into the hallway of the villa and was met with light conversation down the hall, he followed the voices and rounded into the kitchen. Where everyone stood, a fresh breakfast buffet was laid out - when Sinai spotted him she ran over to him.

"Happy Birthday Daddy!" She squealed, jumping into his arms. It then dawned on Dave that it was indeed his 28th Birthday. "You slept for ages," Sinai said holding onto his neck,

"Thank you baby and I know Daddy was knocked out," Dave said looking around for Naala who was not one of the many faces in the kitchen. He did notice that neither Chanel or Von were amongst those faces.

"Happy Birthday Son," Sonia said, hugging him, "Thanks ma," Dave said hugging her tight.

Before Dave could ask where Naala was, she came round the corner, a medium sized birthday cake in her hand, with exactly 28 candles on it. She began singing, "Happy birthday to you," Everyone joined in singing as she walked up to him with the cake, Dave grinned at her.

"Blow out the candles then Daddy!" Sinai said still clinging to his neck, "You wanna help me?" He asked, leaning down. Sinai nodded rapidly and helped her Dad blow out the candles. Everyone cheered, "Happy Birthday Papa," Naala spoke softly, standing on her tip toes to peck his lips. He set Sinai down,

"That baby ass kiss," Dave said as she walked off with the cake, his eyes trailing her ass that was sitting up in her pyjama shorts.

"Damn nigga, she's coming back," Ace teased as Dave watched Naala go and set the cake down. Dave chuckled looking over at Ace who dapped him up,

"I don't know what she's doing to me," Dave spoke honestly, he felt like nothing could get better than this,

"Oh, you in love love, " Ace chuckled,

"I wanna ask her to marry me," Dave spoke lightly, looking over at Naala who was fixing him a plate,

"You don't think it's too soon?" Ace questioned, he knew that Dave had a lot of love for Naala but they just rekindled their relationship,

"Nigga you asked Mia to marry you after 2 days," Dave said to Ace with a smirk on his face,

"Shittt," Ace said, rubbing his hands down his face, "I'm whipped," Ace laughed watching Mia eat her breakfast, giggling with Azure.

"Bacon or sausage babe?" Naala called out to Dave,

"You ain't on the menu?" He questioned loudly for everyone to hear, causing his mother to groan,

"Boy I know you are grown but not around me," Sonia said with a displeased look, Naala giggled and put her head down,

"Sorry ma, sausage baby," Dave apologised to his mom and answered Naala. "Where's Chanel," Dave asked his mother, taking a seat next to her on the island.

"Humpf, that girl gon' be the death of me, I don't know," Sonia shrugged, "I heard about her little stunt last night, when I see her," Sonia mumbled the last part. She was so angry at what Chanel had done to Taina - she didn't deserve that.

"What do you mean 'you don't know' mama?" Dave questioned with his brows raised, Naala came beside him with Sinai on her hip and put his plate down,

"No worrying today Papa, it's your birthday," she expressed before walking off. She could see his all scrunched up.

"She left after y'all came back David, she thinks she's grown so I'm leaving here to it," Sonia said biting into her piece of watermelon.

Dave shook his head and brought out his phone, seeing all the birthday messages and replying to a few. He switched to instagram and came across Naala's post, which was an off guard picture she took of him by the pool the day before,

: happy birthday to my literal soulmate. you gave me the greatest gift I've ever received and I'm excited to continue growing our family. love you Papa 💙

Dave liked the picture and commented below, reading all the comments. Most of the comments were wishing him a happy birthday, some not so nice. He also came across Shade Room's post which was a post Millie had uploaded, Dave sucked his teeth - he was tired of Millie's foolishness. He commented under the post, 'bitches suck your dick once and think they married to you'.

He shot Chanel a text saying to call him, he didn't know what she was playing at. He finished his breakfast and got up leaving his phone on the table.

Naala walked down the hallway to check in on Taina, she had been asleep for a while, it was now 1pm and they were about to give Dave his gifts.

"T," Naala spoke softly pushing the door open. The room was completely dark, the curtains were drawn and all the lights were off. Taina laid on the bed facing the window,

"Taina," Naala spoke again, walking fully into the room and shutting the door behind her.

"Mmm," She mumbled, still half asleep, "It's Lala," Naala said sitting on the bed. Taina turned around and sighed,

"Hey Lala," She spoke, her voice scratchy due to all the shouting that took place the night before. "Y'all eating?" Taina asked, her belly rumbling in the background,

"There's some food I left for you," Naala said,

"Thank you, is that bitch in there?" Taina asked, getting up and walking over to her bathroom to do her hygiene. She was referring to Chanel.

"She left yesterday, don't know where to," Naala shrugged playing with the bottom of her shirt.

Taina rolled her eyes, "I could think of a few places she could be," Naala did think that it was convenient that both Von and Chanel were missing.

"I don't even want to think about them today," Taina started, as if she could hear what Naala was thinking, "I came here to enjoy myself and that's what I'm gonna do,"

"But are you sure you're okay? --" Naala started before being cut off,

"I'm fine!" Taina snapped at her,

Naala nodded and stood up, "We are going to give Dave his gifts now, I'll leave you to get dressed," Naala rushed out before leaving the room.

"Naala --" Taina said, Naala ignored her closing the door. Taina didn't mean to snap on her but her emotions were all over the place.

Naala walked down the hallway, a frown on her face - she only wanted the best for Taina and she threw it back in her face. Walking back to the living area, everyone was sitting down, watching Dave open his presents. Naala sat beside Dave and pulled Sinai into her lap, kissing her cheek.

"This one is from me Daddy," Sinai said shyly, handing him the blue box that had a bow around it. Dave smiled and took the box from her, opening it, it was an iced out chain with her picture in the middle, the picture was taken when she was 1 years old.

"I love it mama," He said excitedly, putting the chain over his head.

"That's cold, Nai" Ace said whilst analysing the chain.

"This is from us Dave," Mia spoke handing him a bag from Saks, it was a DateJust Rolex with white diamonds,

"Damn, this is hard," Dave said as he looked at the watch, the diamonds glistening in the light.

Azure gifted him with a Dior jumper and his mother bought him some more jewellery and got Naala to help her pick out new trainers.

"Now my gift," Naala spoke, bringing out a medium sized box and another flat box handing it to him. "Open the smaller one first," She said watching him,

He opened the box and it was a piece of paper, unfolding it, he laughed,

"You bought me stocks in Nike ma?" Dave asked with a shocked expression. Naala nodded, "You've always said you wanted it," Dave shook his head, "You're amazing Love," He spoke gently, lightly kissing her lips.

"All this kissing, we gon' be welcoming two babies by the end of the year," Mama Sonia said with a grin on her face.

"Yay I want a baby brother," Sinai said from her mothers lap,

"Ok the next one, Amir" Naala said as Dave tried to kiss her again,

He unboxed it and was blown away. An Audemars Piguet sat in the box looking up at Dave. He scoffed,

"I can't accept that," Dave said, this watch must have knocked Naala back at least $40,000.

"It's yours Papa," Naala giggled, looking at him,

"Man, I'm gonna marry you," Dave spoke with such adoration in his eyes. Naala winked before standing up and putting Sinai on her waist,

"Come on, we've got more to do today," Naala said, "Lala put that girl down, she can walk," Mama Sonia fussed, Naala almost looked like she was gonna fall over holding onto Sinai.

Everyone was laughing and getting ready to go back to their rooms to change for todays activity, Sinai and Neveah had ran outside to play. Suddenly, the front door flew open and in walked Chanel and Von hand in hand.

Coincidentally, Taina was finally ready and was walking into the living area at that exact time. Everyone's eyes went to the door, Dave clenched his jaw and the sight of his sister holding hands with Von.

"You've got to be shitting me," He spoke loudly, "Man, get your hands off my sister," Dave did not like Von at all, he never understood why men cheat - just break up with the girl.

Chanel held onto Von's hand tighter, engaging in a stare off with Taina. The look in Taina's eyes was indescribable, it was a mixture of pain, hurt and anguish all at once.

Dave walked over to them, "You've got to leave," Dave said directly to Von. The girls had pulled Taina away and into the kitchen - away from the drama.

"He doesn't have to go anywhere," Chanel spoke, her small frame now in front of Von.

"Chanel Gianna Brewster, if you don't get your fast ass self over here right now, so help me God," Mama Sonia spoke, standing from her seat.

"Nah mama, she wanna protect this nigga, she can find her own way home," Dave spoke bluntly, standing by the door so they were unable to come further into the villa.

"Now Amir," Sonia warned, even though Chanel was wrong she couldn't leave her to roam a different country on her own.

"Get the fuck out," Dave shouted, his loud voice bouncing off the walls. He walked closer towards them, now he was face to face with Von,

"Nel get your brother," Von said, he had been itching to punch the shit out Dave.

"Hit me big boy," Dave taunted, staring him down. Von pushed Dave back roughly, which caused Dave to punch him back immediately. The sound filling the whole room,

"David!" Mama Sonia shouted, knowing he wasn't going to stop. The screams alerted Naala, her heart dropped as she came out to see Dave and Von fighting. Punch after punch, Dave didn't let up,

"Amir!" Naala said loudly, "Stop it, think about Sinai," She spoke coming closer to him. The sound of her voice, snapped Dave out of whatever trance he was in. Von lay on the floor, blood leaking from his nose and mouth, his eyes were all red, he looked unrecognisable. Chanel was next to him on the floor, trying to help him up. Azure, Mia and Taina stood there watching the scene unfold, tears gathered in Taina's eyes as she watched Chanel care for Von. Something in her clicked that, he had actually been cheating on her this whole time.

"Mommy?" Sinai's small voice called out, horror written all over her small face. Tears rolling down her face as she watched her dad stand over a bloody Von.

Dave who breathed heavily, stepped over him and tried to walk towards Sinai, who jumped back and ran over to her mom. A look of hurt washed over his face as he realised what he'd just done.

"Come on baby," Naala said, picking Sinai up and taking her back to her room, Azure also took Neveah away - they didn't need to see that.

"Naala," Dave called out, gaining no response.

"Shit man," He shouted,

His mother shook her head at him, "I expected more from you," She said lowly before walking off.

"I hate you," Chanel cried still trying to get Von off the floor, he needed to go to the hospital.

Dave walked out towards the pool, slamming the door in the process. He was disappointed in himself for letting himself go back to his old ways and now his daughter is scared of him. Ace walked out and took a seat opposite him,

"You good man?" Ace asked looking at Dave who was staring into the distance,

"I can't believe he pushed me that far," Dave spoke, his voice low, "Sinai is scared of me,"

"She loves you bro, just give her some time," Ace said truthfully, Sinai wouldn't be scared forever.

Both Dave and Ace's head snapped to the sliding doors closing, Naala stood there, a scowl on her face.

"Imma give you guys a second," Ace said, getting up and walking back towards the villa.

Naala walked over and stood over him, "What the hell was you thinking?" She started, "Our daughter is crying her eyes out because she thinks you KILLED somebody," Naala said, raising her voice slightly,

"I don't need this right now, Love" Dave grunted, clenching his jaw.

Naala scoffed, "I don't care what you need, I care about that little girl! She looks up to you Amir, and you just disappointed her,"

"You don't think I know that!" Dave shouted jumping up, now face to face with Naala.

"Don't speak to me like that," Naala said, looking at him like he was mad.

"Man Naala get the fuck out of my face. You coming out here chatting shit is making me more mad," Dave spoke, stepping away from her.

"I told you don't speak to me like that, I don't know what the hell is wrong with you but don't take it out on me or my daughter, that's not fair,"

"What are you gonna do? Try and slit your wrists with fucking nail scissors?" Dave scoffed looking at Naala,

Naala's small hand flew across his cheek, sending a stinging sensation through Dave's entire body.

"How dare you? I told you that because I trusted you, and then you throw it back in my face? That was so cruel Amir and it makes me regret sharing so much with you," Her voice broke slightly,

Dave's face softened at the sound of her voice breaking, "Love I didn't --"

"Stop -" Naala said lifting up her hand and walking away back into the villa, leaving Dave alone in his thoughts.

"Shit!" He shouted into the air - he had officially fucked up.
