Chapter 186 In the President's conference room: Continued “Friend, she just called me desperate and real life just accused me of raping her son. Is this a prank? Is this a part of the competition like that show scare tactic to see how we will react.” Essence asked as she looked at Syncere's parents. “You think this is a game, I swear once we prove that it was you who did this to my son, I will make sure you are under the jailhouse.” Sharon, said trying to reach Essence, but her husband held her back. “Mr. and Mrs. Jamison I am going to have to ask you two to wait outside. This is policy I can't have you in here while I am speaking with a student.” President Harris said, motioning towards the door. Mr. Jamison nodded and pulled his wife out of the office. President Harris walked back to her seat and flipped open her note book, and pulled out a piece of paper. “Ms. Nelson this is a serious situation and we need to get to the bottom of this quickly
Chapter 187 The conference room: Syncere’s mom charge towards the girls like an angry mama bear, but Syncere's dad stopped her before she could reach them. “Why isn't she being led away in hand cuffs, after what she did to my son?” Sharon said, angrily. Essence looked at Syncere's mom with her brow raised. “Mrs. Jamison, she is cooperating with us, she has been swabbed and she gave us her water bottle to swab as well. We will have the results, first thing in the morning, and we will go from there. As of now she is free to go, now can you please step aside.” President Harris said, standing in front of the girls protectively. “Mrs. Jamison, I am trying my best to be respectful because you're Syncere's momma, and my momma always told me that I don't disrespect my elders because god placed her in the role of my protector while I am here on this earth so, give me one second.” Essence said, as she held her phone up and turned it and the face of her momma came into view.
Chapter 188Syncere's house: “Where is my parents? And Jazz what are you doing here?” Syncere asked once he got out of the shower, then he had been trying to find a way to talk to Essence. God knows what she could be thinking, his head was pounding. How the hell did he get drugs into his system? It didn't make any sense he didn't drink or eat anything he hasn't eaten or drank before. “Your mother wanted to go back to the college to see what kind of progress that they have made in finding out how you got those drugs in your system. She asked Jazz to come over to keep you company so you won't be so lonely. She knows what kind of stress you must be under with everything that is happening to you. All because you wanted to be a gentlemen and be nice to a girl who took your niceness for something that it wasn’t. I'm so glad my Shawn waited on Briana, god knows I don't know what I would do if you were dealing with one of those girls. Lucky for me you have your head
Chapter 189Essence's Apartment: Essence and Kymoni “What the hell just happened? I can't believe they’re accusing you of drugging Syncere. This is all kinds of fucked up ,and now him, neither Shawn are answering their phones. Do you think they believe Jazz and her story? Plus how the fuck she conveniently remember Syncere drinking from your bottle? I don't know what the fuck is going on, but this is looking like a set up. Your mom said their flight doesn't get in until after twelve, what the fuck do we do until then? Because if it's a set up you already know Syncere’s momma going to try and lock you up.” Kymoni said pacing the floor. Essence was sitting on her couch just staring off into space not really knowing how she got to this point. Were they really trying to blame her for Syncere having drugs in his system and does he believe them? Why hasn't he called to at least talk to her? Essence had so many questions, and not one answer. “You need to go ahead
Chapter 190The president's building: 7:30 a.m. Essence and Kymoni: “Did you get a text yet?” Kymoni asked for the nine hundred twentieth time. Since they got to the campus. They came early because they hadn't been able to fall asleep the entire night so they decided it was best to head to the meeting so they wouldn't show up late. They didn't want to be the last to come in and have everyone looking at them, especially with Syncere's momma being there. “Kiki we are in here together, you will be able to hear my phone go off just like I will. So to answer your question, no I haven’t gotten a text, a call, a tweet, a DM, an email, nor a Pigeon with a note on its foot.” Essence said, shaking her head. “You don't have to be a smart ass you know I always ask a lot of questions when I'm nervous.” Kymoni said, looking out her window. “I know, I just have a lot on my mind. I have questions and I need to make sure I am ready to asked them when we get in this meeting. Especial
Chapter 191The Conference Room “How are you?” Syncere asked softly. He couldn't be near her now, but he had to know how she was coping. He could see she didn't get any sleep judging by the dark circles around her eyes and how she lost the sparkle that was always reflected in her eyes. “I'm ok, considering I was blindsided with being accused of drugging you by your ex-girlfriend.” Essence said glancing at Jazz who looked like she wanted to murder me, because she could see Syncere was worried about her. “I’m know I am so sor….” “Hello everyone, I am so sorry I am late, there has been some delays. I hadn't gotten the test back from the labs, for Ms. Nelson, but I wanted to go over everything with Mr. Jamison. So your test came back clean there was no traces of the drug in your system. I have decided to allow you to continue to play, while the investigation is ongoing, but you will be tested randomly until the investigation is over. If you agree to those ter
Chapter 192 the Conference Room: Continued “What do you mean what color was your bottle?” “She didn't speak Spanish, you heard what she said, what color was this water bottle you saw her force Syncere to drink?” Kymoni said repeating the question. “Why is that important the point is she saw you do it.” Sharon said once Jazz didn't answer. “It's important, because if she can give detail like that, she should be able to tell me what color my bottle was.” Essence said looking Jazz in the eye. “Ms. Taylor answer the question.” President Harris said waiting for her to answer. “Uh….I…” A knock on the door, the President’s secretary rushed in handing her a folder, and left back out. The President opened the folder and closed it back and looked at Essence. “That was the other part of your test, the reason for the delay was because we had only gotten part of the test results. I now have both results from the bottle and your swab. Looking at both results for your swa
Chapter 193Syncere and Shawn's apartment: “I am so glad that we cleared your name and the real criminal will be locked up and off the streets.” Sharon said as they all walked into Syncere and Shawn's apartment. Shawn's mother walked out of the kitchen hearing Sharon's voice. “Syn, I hope you’ve learned your lesson, you can't trust just anyone. The one person who has always had your back, was the one who was able to save you from those vial girls. I told the captain to call me once he locks her up. Syncere you will have to tell them everything she did to you. You can't be ashamed of what happen to you, you're not to blame. You just need to tell the police the truth, I am sure that she will try and take a plea deal, because there is no way she will be able to get away with this.” Sharon said. “Mom, please just stop, how many times do I have to tell you that Essence didn't do anything to me that night, so just drop it already. I am not going to the police station eit
Chapter 237Back inside the hospital: “Where is she? Where is my baby?” Eula, asked her sons as they filed into Essence's room. Once the air was cleared, the nurses came and escorted them back to Essence's room. They didn't have any answers to give her about her daughter. They were all trying to grasp what had happened, the janitors were cleaning up the mess and patching up the window Big C shot. “Momma by the time we got to her, she…. She wasn't… She wasn't breathing. We don't know for how long, we don't know anything at this point, all we know is that we weren't prepared for this kind of open attack. Once we got to her, we carried her down to the ICU floor and Doctor Angelic took her into surgery.” Kain said, as tears fell down his face. Shawn and Kymoni came through the door, Kymoni was looking lost like she didn't know where she was, she was silent, but her tears were flowing unchecked down her face, as Shawn guided her to a chair in the corner
Chapter 236The Hospital Enterance “Unk, there are two heading to the parking garage, leaving from the access elevator. Can you guys try and cut them off. Be prepared one of them has tear gas, more than one canister, it looks like that have an unlimited amount. There could be more men lying in wait, so keep an eye out.” Big C said in his ear piece. “Don't worry about these old fools, we have endured shit more lethal than tear gas.” Uncle Bubba said. “Just because we have endured it don't mean we liked it. Tear gas ain't fun, our eyes were red for a month when those cops sprayed us down with tear gas at that protest.” Uncle Ron said to his brother. “Would yall be quiet what’s the use of trying to sneak up on them and not letting them know we're coming, if yall going to run your mouth the entire time.” Their Uncle Junior whispered yell as he checked his guns making sure the safety were off his guns. “Just, cover your faces if they have tear gas let's expect them to toss them
Chapter 235Getting to Essence: Continued The pain instantly grew, causing Syncere to pause and try to cover his eyes. Then the first shot echoed in the air giving everyone pause. Big C and his brother all pulled their weapon immediately and took cover. Big C knew they had to find a way to even the playing field. He pointed at the windows in the hospital and fired six rounds, breaking the windows. The instant the windows broke the fog was sucked out almost immediately. As soon as he looked at the sprinklers, Martrice had already turned them on, he was behind the nurse’s station using his Hi-tech watch. He loved that his family knew what to do without him saying a word. When he looked again, he was able to see the armed men moving as a unit trying to block their path to Unique. He also saw Shawn running towards them with Kymoni covering Essence protectively. He knew he had to get his sister help, they didn't have time to fight this battle. Essence wasn't brea
Chapter 235 The VIP Floor Getting to Essence: “TEAR GAS EVERYBODY COVER YOURSELVES!” Kain yelled being the first to recognize what it was. They were all force to cover their entire face walking blind. The brothers had all been tested with tear gas in training and although they handled it better than anyone it still left them blind. “GET TO MY BABY, OH GOD WHERE IS SHE I CAN'T LEAVE UNTIL I KNOW SHE'S OK!” The all heard Eula scream, as someone tried to get them into one of the room where the gas wasn't. “MOMMA JUST GO WE WILL GET ESSENCE!” Kristian said, not knowing if he was lying to his mother or not. Big C pushed his mother and aunts into the closest room closing the door. He ripped his shirt off exposing nothing but pure muscles. He was a big man with not an ounce of fat, he was all muscle. People thought he was a gym rat, but he never stepped foot in a gym. No one could explain how he got a body like The Rock, when he doesn't even have a membershi
Chapter 233 The Hospital Showdown Continued: “Yall go ahead and stop coming this way, so just back the fuck up. Don't make me put a bullet through her chest and not her back this time. Please don't test me, because you already know what I'm capable of.” Unique said shoving Debra who cried out in shock. “Shut the fuck up bitch!” Unique said hitting her in the back of the head with his gun. Debra screamed but kept pushing the bed, she was trying not to make any sudden moves. “Please, just let my baby go, I will not try to come after you, just leave her here. She is too fragile to be going through this, I promise my family won't come after you if you just leave her here.” Eula said with her hands stretched out towards Essence praying that this man just let her go. She couldn’t bare it if he took her while they were all standing there. “Well Mother-n-law I'm afraid I might not be able to do that, because I am sure someone has called the cops and your family have
Chapter 232 Syncere and Shawn's apartment: “FUCK! WE GOTTA GO!” Syncere said rushing out of his room. Shawn and Kymoni were at our dining table eating a sandwich, while our parents were still there, sitting in their living room. Kymoni looked up at my face and saw the fear, and knew it was about Essence. She was afraid to ask any questions, she just got up grabbed her bag not bothering to put her shoes on as she went to the door. “Wait, son what's going on? Where are you going?” It's Essence somehow Unique got into the hospital and got to Essence. I knew something was wrong, I felt it when I was on the elevator, I knew I shouldn't have left. Fuck!” Syncere was saying as he looked for his keys. He knew they were in plain sight but he was so worked up he couldn't think straight. “Son, you need to calm down and take a breath. Why are you so in a rush to get back. That Unique boy is obviously dangerous, I don't think you should be going there, her family is
Chapter 231A few minutes early: “Hey isn't that Essence's nurse, I thought she was her head nurse or something like that" Kain asked as they got off the elevator, Martrice needed to check a better internet connection. He decided he would stay on the first floor because then internet connection was excellent on that first. He looked up at the nurse in question and frowned. “You're right, she was supposed to be with Essence full time. So she should be with Essence during these test. So what the hell is going on.” Martrice said as he began typing on his laptop. His alarm went off when one of the cameras he had installed on the ICU floors went off. He pulled up the footage and saw man holding his head down, like he knew where the cameras were and avoided them on purpose. A few seconds later the nurses’ station alarms went off in Leah's room. Martrice looked back at his laptop and watched as the man went into the rest room and came back out wearing different clothes.
Chapter 228Essence's room: “Alright folks we have Ms. Nelson settled and ready for her scan, you all can leave we have a special team coming in to do the test. Once we're done you will be paged to transport the patient back to her room. So please have someone on standby that can cover your patients until you're done.” The Financial manager said to the nurses. “Uh excuse me, I’m the nurse in charge of Ms. Nelson, why wasn't I inform that a special team was coming to do the test. Also I am required to stay with the patient, since I am the nurse in charge of Ms. Nelson's care.” Nancy said after the other nurses left. “Nancy there has been a change of plans, the family has requested the best people to test her. They have their own nurse they plan to use, you can head back to the VIP suites and wait for the call that the team is done testing.” “How about I wait here for the other nurse to get here, so I can pass along the notes about the patient. This is a
Chapter 229 Syncere and Shawn's apartment: Continued “Oh hey Kymoni, I didn't see you until just now. How’s your friend doing?” Briana asked with a smile on her face, she wondered why Kymoni didn't tell Shawn about their little talk in the hallway. Kymoni eyes held a comment full of cuss words, but she was trying to not let her mouth start some shit. “She’s, unconscious and they’re doing more test to find out what their next steps are. But I'm sure once this is over, she will be fine.” Kymoni said, her voice trembled a little bit as she talked, Shawn noticed and pulled her close. Susan's smile faltered a little bit, not use to seeing Shawn care for another woman. She only ever saw Shawn treat Briana with such care, so it was strange seeing him do that with someone while Briana was only a few feet away. “Shawn, I heard Syncere say he's missing a couple of games to spend at the hospital. Are you planning to do the same thing?” Susan asked, still not
