Chapter 183The President's conference room: Continued “Well after the basketball competition yesterday, Him and Shawn were talking to those freshmen girls Essence Nelson and Kymoni Richards. I saw her give him her water bottle, she stared at him while he drank a lot of it.” Jazz said, like it was paining her to say that. “Jazz what the fuck is wrong with you, Essence would never do something like that, partly because she doesn't do drugs, hell she barely drinks. I swear I know you don't like her but to accuse her of something like that is foul.” Syncere said looking at her in disgust. “Stop it this instance, you will not talk to her like that, she is trying to save your career just like everyone else in this room. I did not raise you like this, I happen to believe her, because you have been different ever since you met those girls. You have been fighting, talking back to me and you broke up with a girl you promised you would marry. I don't know what has gotten into y
Chapter 184The Pitt: “Unique, because we were once friends I’m going to give you two options. The first is you get your hands off me on your own, or you will be learning a new hand shake with Satan. Now let go of my arm please, if you have something to say, use your words and not your hands.” Essence said pulling her arm out of Unique's grip. She didn't know what the hell he was thinking. “Look I'm sorry you caught me off guard, I didn't think that you were going to end our relationship.” “Unique I told you what it was and you didn't want to listen, instead you thought you could change my mind at some point which if you knew me you would know that I say what I mean and mean what I say. I was upfront with you and you thought you could change that, and you can't no matter what you do.” Essence said. “You refuse to give me a chance because you're hung up on that Syncere dude. Don't think I didn't notice how you and him try to play it off like yall don't h
Chapter 18520 minutes later: In the President's conference room: “It can't be that serious if they’re allowing me in here with you, right?” Kymoni said as they both sat down at the conference table. “I don't think you can call it allowing you in, when you just followed me and then pretended that you didn't hear that lady trying to stop you.” Essence said smiling. “Same thing if she really didn't want me in here, she would’ve gotten up and stopped me.” Kymoni said shrugging her shoulders. A few minutes later, the coach and the president walked into the conference room, with a girl in a nurse uniform. Essence and Kymoni looked at each other in confusion, because they still couldn’t connect the dots. They didn't have any dealings with the coach or the med student. “Hello ladies thank you for coming on such short notice. I know it is a bit confusing, but I promise you will understand in just a moment. This is a very difficult conversation but I have a job
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 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
Chapter 228Syncere and Shawn's apartment: “Are you sure about this, because I am not in the mood and the right frame of mind to entertain bullshit nor making the effort to be respectful when I or my friend is being disrespected.” Kymoni said to Shawn as they got out of Syncere's truck. They had called a car from the hospital, they went by Essence's house to get his truck. Syncere wanted to make sure his tank was filled and ready to go back to the hospital at any moment, if someone called them. “I know baby, I promise my mom was cool when I told her I was in love with you. She was shocked but she wants to see me happy, and me telling her you do that, makes her happy.” Shawn said as he pulled Kymoni into his arms kissing her forehead as they walked to the door. Syncere was happy for his friend, but he couldn't stomach the love they shared, with Essence laying in the hospital fighting for her life. The now familiar ache in his chest came when he thought abo
Chapter 227A parked car six miles away: “So you're the asset sent to assist me? I must admit I am shocked, seeing as though you helped the people who kidnapped my wife in the first place. Tell me why I shouldn't kill you right here and now?” “You could but that wouldn't do anything but activate the bomb that I put under your car before I got in here. You didn't think I would come in here unprepared, did you? My handlers sent me for a reason and that reason being that I'm the best. Lastly, I will help you, but you will not touch Shawn Haynes. If you do then you will have to deal with me and I can assure you, that no one you are connected to will be able to stop me.” Briana said as she sat back confidently. Unique looked at the woman before him with a smirk. He must admit he liked her confidence, and right now he can't be picky about who he hires to help him. “Ok, I can do that, as long as he doesn't come between me and my wife. If he does than you will
Chapter 226VIP waiting room: “We are going to take momma in first and give her some alone time with Essence. Next, we will come back and get the sisters, after that, the rest of you can come in.” Big C said once everyone was settled in the waiting room. Everybody noticed his voice trembled a little bit, because he didn't know what they were going to walk into. He didn't know if he was ready for it, but he knew he had to keep it together for his momma and little brothers. The family all nodded their heads a bit nervous seeing Essence themselves. “Hello everyone, I am lead nurse Nancy, before we go in I would like to go over what you will be seeing. It is better that you know what to expect, it will take the shock away when you actually go in. “So as you know there was a small piece of bone lodged in her heart, that when moved causes cardiac arrest. So in order to prevent that from happening we have strapped her down so she won't be able to move and no one
Chapter 225Parking Lot blocks away: “Debra just sent us an email, she said Essence is out of surgery and is on the VIP floor which will give us access to see her without worrying about cameras. Apparently, the cameras are no longer active because of an incident involving a celebrity getting exposed because someone sold footage of him cheating on his wife will she was giving birth in the room next to her. So the hospital makes the patients and employees sign NDA’s and the cameras were disable. She said you will have to use the secret entrance that their clients use to get into the hospital undetected. She is going to meet us at the back entrance.” Unique's tech guy said as he pulled up the plan for the hospital. “Their tech guy is far more advance than I am, so the only way I will be able to get you in undetected, is if we do it in a less than thirty second intervals for the parking lot and getting to the elevator. Anything beyond that, their tech guy will be
