Kiara opened her eyes a little seeing a silver Rolex watch, next falling back asleep.

"Troy I can't." Kiara said throwing her blanket back over her head only for Troy to pull it back and for her to snatch it back as well

"Kiara if I gotta pull this blanket off you again, I'm gon' pull ya ass off the actual bed. Now get your ass up!" Troy demanded.

Kiara continued to ignore him. She was not in the mood and was going through the motions due to her current situation. She was still at shock that she was sexually assaulted. At the moment she didn't want anyone to see her. Not even her granny because she knew she would be a emotional train wreck. Troy was consistently trying to get her out of bed so that they could get to class. She already missed 2 days of class and he refused to see her miss a 3rd day.

"Kiara Palet!" He said pulling her petite body by her feet, dragging her out of the bed.

"Ouch!" She said as she held her chin.

"Put some got damn clothes on and let's go!" He demanded before walking out of the bedroom.

Kiara groaned in frustration and grabbed her towel and headed to the bathroom. She got in and got out in 5 minutes. She walked into the bedroom and changed into an Adidas sweatsuit. She grabbed her back pack and met Troy outside.

"See you look nice, come on." He said grabbing her hand as the two got into the car. Their Lyft driver drove them to school. Kiara just listened to Troy ramble about his new boo. Kiara didn't pay him any attention while she scrolled down her phone. She stopped once seeing a picture of Prince at the NFL camp. Smiling as if he wasn't a rapist,it made Kiara sick to her stomach to see his face and to see him living his best life.

"Pull over." She muttered.

"Huh?" Troy asked, trying to hear her.

"Pull the damn car over!" She insisted. The driver pulled the car over and Kiara opened her door and vomited on the busy Harlem street causing bystanders to look at her as if she was crazy.

"Can you take us to the store right there? I'll pay you extra." Troy asked the driver.

The driver let them out at the corner store. Troy got a ginger ale and some little Debby donuts. He gave them to Kiara and watched her eat and drink.

They got back in the car and continued their commute to school as Kiara laid her head on her best friends shoulder. Troy just rubbed her shoulder, comforting her. He felt bad for his best friend and wish he could do something. Troy planned on hurting Prince but Kiara insisted not to. Troy couldn't stand the boy and saw how bad Prince hurt Kiara.

Once they made it to school they both went their separate ways. Kiara made it to her management class and sat in her seat and began to listen to the professor. It was only 15 minutes into the class and she already wanted the day to be over. Luckily she only had three classes for the day. Business management, English and a accounting class.

Khari was sitting at his office reading some stories and following up in his clients. He felt his phone vibrate. He pulled it out seeing he had a text from his dad.

✊🏾🇭🇹

Khari sighed already knowing what it was about. He closed the book he was reading and opened his side drawer of his desk showing his poetry book. He opened it to the page the book mark was in and began reciting the new poetry. There was an event he was going to be performing at soon for someone's party.

As Khari read the book he heard a knock on his office door. He usually was able to see who was behind it but he had the blinds closed that were on the door. Khari only did that when he had meetings or if he just didn't want to be bothered.

"Yes?" He said sternly. The door opened showing Julia in her navy blue pan suit. Which matched his suit perfectly. Khari chuckled a bit at how much they matched. "Wow, you're really trying to be like me." He joked.

"Please." Julia rolled her eyes as she closed the door behind her. "If anything, you're trying to be like me."

"Nah." Khari said siting back in his seat crossing his arms, looking at the beautiful women over. "But what's up?" He asked.

"Nothing, just was coming to check on you." She spoke sitting beside him.

"Hm?" Khari hummed knowing she didn't want to check on him, she would've called or texted him. Khari knew Julia just wanted to be in his presence and he didn't mind it at all. He sat up leaning on his desk putting his index and middle finger on the side of his head as he stared at her. He licked his lips before speaking. "Go lock the door." He insisted as he gave Julia a knowing look.

Julia rose to her feet and slowly walked to the door, locking it. She came back to the desk and Khari stood from his seat, walking around the desk. He looked down at Julia seductively, Khari put his thumb and index finger on her chin lifting her head up to his next placing a kiss on her lips, next kissing on her neck

"Khari, we're at work." Julia said softly.

"So?" Khari said continuing kiss down neck. He began to unbutton her blazer.

"What if we get caught?"

"What's gon happen? We get fired?" He asked sarcastically.

Julia agreed and began to unbutton his pants, she pulled his pants and briefs down exposing his member. She took him in whole and Khari threw his head back, feeling the warmth of her mouth. He put his hands on the top her head and pushed it down further. She began to deep throat and Khari couldn't help hisself, letting out a huge groan, feeling relieved once he came in her mouth, she continued to go in, giving him eye contact after each suck. He didn't want her to stop, even though he wanted to give it back in return. He stopped her and picked her back up, taking her pants and panties off. He slid inside of her, letting out a slight sigh. He stroked in and out of her letting her feel every inch he had to offer. Her moans started to grow louder and he didn't want anyone in the office to hear so he covered her mouth with his hand.

"Sshh, just take it baby." He whispered into her ear. Khari continued to keep stroking, giving her the back shots she wanted. Khari felt himself growing, feeling his nut coming. Julia tightened on him.

They heard a knock on the door, but Khari kept going. "Hey, are you ready for the meeting, it's in 2 minutes and we need to set up." Quinton spoke on the other side of the glass door.

Khari threw his head back feeling himself about to erupt. "I'm...coming!" He panted.

"Cool. Is Julia with you? We need her there too." He spoke.

"We're coming!" Khari yelled out once more. He pulled out, releasing on to the hardwood floor.

Julia and Khari both collapsed onto the business chair. Breathing heavily, he took her face and pushed it against his, passionately kissing her, he took his two finger and rubbed her clit causing her to moan into his mouth. When he saw her tighten her legs he pulled his fingers out. Khari looked into her eyes seeing she was definitely pleased.

"That was a good way to start your day off." Julia joked with a smirk. Khari chuckled, still trying to catch his breath.

"Go get ready so we can go." He said standing, pulling up his pants. Julia walked into the bathroom that was connected to his office and freshened up. Khari lit a candle and sprayed some air freshener. The office smelled like hot sex and he refused to let anyone know that he was sleeping with his assistant.

Julia came out of the bathroom looking brand new, as if the two didn't even touch each other.

"You clean up nice." Khari joked.

"I know, so do you." Julia said seductively. The two walked out of office and down the hall to the meeting room.

"Okay, lets talk business." Khari said folding his hands as he looked over the table of rich white men who loved making money as much as he did.

Kiara was sitting in the hospital watching the nurses give her granny her medicine.

"How much longer would she have to be in here?" Kiara asked.

"Just a few more days. We're waiting for her test results to come back so that we can know if we should keep her longer." The nurse told Kiara.

"Y'all can't just mail them?"

The nurse laughed at the silly questions Kiara had but she knew that the young girl was only concerned about her grandmother.

"No, because if we need to do anything else we would have to bring her right back here." The nurse informed Kiara. Once the nurse was finished giving her granny the medicine she left out to go care for another patient.

"So how's school going?" Granny asked.

"It's pretty good. I'm just ready to graduate y'know?" Said Kiara.

"I know, only a few more months and you're out of there." Her granny informed her, lifting her spirits. "Has Carlos been bothering you?"

"No, I've been staying with Troy. Troy wants to kill that man." Kiara told her granny.

"I know, but like I always say, he'll get what he deserves. But that's good, I know Troy is taking good care of you."

"Yeah I guess." Kiara shrugged.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Kiki, I'm not stupid, I may be a little drugged up, but I ain't stupid, now tell me what's wrong. Your energy has been off ever since you walked into this room."

"Me and Prince broke up." She told her.

"Why?" Her granny asked.

"Complications." Kiara said not wanting to tell her granny what really happened.

"Kiki." Her granny said sternly giving her a look.

"He.." Kiara began to tear up, her stomach began to turn again and a huge lump began to form in her throat.

"Spit it out now child." Her granny insisted. Her grandmother always knew something was off about Prince and she warned Kiara about him but she saw how much Kiara liked the young man and didn't want to interfere. She just continued to tell Kiara to pay close attention to the young man.

"He tried to rape me..." Kiara spoke aloud.

Granny grew silent. She was at shock, she knew the boy was a little off but she didn't think he was that off.

"Come here." Her granny said patting the empty spot of her bed. Kiara walked over and sat beside her grandmother. "He's going to get what's coming to him, I promise you." Granny comforted her grand daughter. Kiara told her granny the story and that the only thing Kiara could remember was that the man was wearing a silver Rolex watch and he had sweat pants.

Once the clock struck 4pm and she saw that her granny was asleep Kiara decided to go back home. As Kiara walked up her street she didn't see Troy's lights on, signaling that he wasn't home. Kiara walked to her apartment to get a few things. Before walking in she pulled out her pepper spray that Karla gave her in case of any emergency, she didn't want to run into her crazy uncle. As she walked in, it was silent. As she walked further into the house she saw empty beer bottles and Backwoods wrappers, she walked into the small hallway next seeing a pair of panties. Kiara just shook her head at the sight, her uncle was seriously disgusting and just disrespectful. She walked into her room quickly grabbing some more clothes and supplies.

Carlos walked into his mother's hospital room seeing her sound asleep. He was high as a cloud and as drunk as a sailor. He looked over her room seeing medication and her clothes. He picked her clothes up and dug into her pockets finding some money next pocketing the money. He looked over his mother once more before grabbing the extra pillow that was on the side of her bed. He picked it up and put it over her face. Granny woke from her sleep, trying to push the pillow off of her but she was too weak. Carlos continued to push down harder, once he saw that her feet weren't kicking anymore he lifted the pillow up seeing his mother now gone, her heart monitor flat line. He threw the pillow back where he got it from and called in a nurse.

"I need a nurse, someone please!" He pleaded. Two nurses rushed in and saw the flat line. They tried to recover her but it was too late. Granny was now gone.
