"Do you know that girl with the tacky purple weave?" Sarah asks Gianna and Beth as the three of them are seated gossiping about people in Purple's Ville. Gianna nods with a smile. She can't hide that she is happy that she is getting along with the girls, especially Sarah.
"Her name is Vivian and I swear she has been attaching that weave in her hair since high school," Beth says as looking down at nails which Sarah just painted for her.
"She bitch slapped Gossip Andrea today," Sarah says.
Gianna and Beth gasps. They all know that Gossip Andrea has it coming, she spreads information both true or untrue to everyone in town. When Gianna started staying with the Bailey's, she spread a rumor that Gianna is Jacob's one-night stand that got pregnant and now have to stay with the Bailey's since
"What do you mean she escaped?" Gio roars into the phone."I had her and she ran away," Nico says flatly."I told you to let us come to you but no, you wanted to meet up," Gio yells."I could have people check my town for her..."Gio interrupts, "She not going to be there anymore, she is not stupid." Gio yells once more before he hangs up the phone."Ughh," Gio yells sending movable things in the restaurant flying towards every direction. His bodyguards watch him with emotionless faces as he rages out.Gianna watches Nico smash the burner phone on the car's dashboard after ending his call to her brother. He puts the pieces in
"What are you writing down?" Jamal asks, emptying his bottle of beer.Nico pens down an address that he has had at the back of his head for a year now, he knew he would need it the minute it was told to him.He pushes the address to Jamal's corner of the table."Whose address is this?""KB's,"Jamal looks down at the address and looks up at his friend in shock, "No way, KB ran away 5 years ago. No one knows where he is, not even his father.""You remember his facial tattoo?""The butterfly? Yeah, I found it weird.""Imagine my sur
Gianna thought yesterday's dinner was awkward but now she is sitting for breakfast, she soon realizes nothing can beat this moment. Everyone is eating in silence."The syrup," Nico calls out to Beth who is closer to it. Nico is seated on the kitchen counter as always.Beth shifts it to Jacob's side, "If you want it badly, ask Jacob to throw it to you." Beth looks up at Nico and gives him a small smile.Nico lets out a short annoyed laugh before he speaks, "Could you..?" Before completing his sentence Jacob sends the packaged plastic flying towards Nico's direction. Nico is quick to catch it."Thanks," Nico says with a tight smile before pouring it on his pancakes."Well, since
"If you are going to be frowning and glaring at my guys all day, maybe you shouldn't be here," Rudy says as he adjusts on his not so stable couch.Rudy's home is always rowdy with his guys and their hoes, there's little or no privacy. The air is always filled with smoke from cigars and vapes. The furniture is old and some use the wall for support. When Beth started dating Rudy she felt really uncomfortable but now, she is used to it.Beth isn't enduring all this because she is in love with Rudy, she has stopped believing in love when Leo; David's father left her.Beth and Leo were high school lovers and the town's couple goals. Even though Leo left for college they still remain strong. Leo dropped out of college during his final years, Beth didn't know why but supported him still.
The simple life is not something Gianna thought she can get used to but here she is now, extremely contented with it. Her cooking has improved, at least no one eating breakfast right now is puking or faking a smile as they eat.Everyone in the dining turns their head towards the sitting room when they hear someone come in. It's a red-headed girl caught in her walk of shame. She gives a small smile as she bends down to pick up her heels which she left in the sitting room the night before."Good morning," She says in a low tone before disappearing from their sight."Morning," Jonah is the only one that replies to her. "She is hot." He says after he hears the door close which is an indication that she is gone.Sarah rolls her eyes as she
The dinner table is usually filled but with twins and Sarah are having exams, the table only consists of Gianna, Jacob, Elizabeth and Nico."You look better than before." Beth says breaking the silence."That's because I have a great nurse." Jacob says, smiling at Gianna. She smiles back."Talking about Jacob, a birdie whispered to me while I was in the shop that two of the guys that beat him up are in the hospital. One with a broken jaw and rib and the other with a bullet wound to his leg." Nico says looking directly at his sister."Whoa, What happened?" Jacob asks."What happened is that they didn't respect the fact that you are untouchable and they were punished.""You mean Rudy did that?""Of course," Beth says.Nico looks at her suspiciously not believing a word she says. " You mean Rudy shot and beat up his guys for you?"Beth looks at Nico, they are both staring at each other like it's a competition, "Yeah, beside
Nico woke up with an idea too good that he couldn't wait for dinner to execute it. If this goes as planned, He can divide and conquer.Nico stands at the doorstep of his next victim with a box of pizza in his hand. He knocks on the wooden door and waits for a reply. Since the person his visiting is taking his sweet time to answer the door, he scans his surroundings. The boxes of pizza and beer on the grass in front of the house he is currently standing at proves he guessed his victim's taste right.The place looks like a pigsty with flies all over the unfinished food inside these boxes. Nico is not surprised, it is a lot better than some places in this part of town.The door opens and the first thing Nico sees is the crutches and the bandages covering the gunshot wound.
"Your friend is so sweet," Gianna says to Nico as he walks back into the sitting room after Jamal leaves."He isn't, he's just trying to get into your pants." Nico rolls his eyes before sitting on the couch across to her."You are trying to get into my pants as well." Gianna raises an eyebrow at him."Yeah," Nico admits, "But I don't have to kiss your ass to do so." He says smugly."You are right, you will have to do so much more," Gianna says with a sweet smile on her face.Nico half-smiles, the second he realizes he is smiling, he frowns."So you and Jamal have been having meetings a lot. Is this your way of coming out to us?"
"It sucks that the twins can't be here for his funeral." Sarah mutters. "It's safer this way." Adam says "Oh I forgot, our selfish brother has messed shit up." She sighs. "Who are these people by the way? Where were they when the auto shop was going under? No, wait, they didn't want to be associated with us." Sarah scans the hall filled with hypocrites before facing front and sinking into the bench. "Everyone in this town is full of bullshit is no surprise there." Adam says adjusting is tie. Beth sighs looking at the closed coffin placed on a platform near the alter. "Ignore them, today is for Jacob and that's all that matters."
Nico walks into the gang house which was noisy but the second they see him, it becomes dead silent. Maybe Nico's presence or Roger's men holding guns.Their little girlfriends starts picking up their shit and hurrying out the door past Gianna.The room becomes tense and quiet with a mixture of alcohol and weed in the air, Gianna feels like throwing up. She has knowledge of what's coming and she thinks they know it too."We were just about to head to your house, what happened is fucked up and we will find them. No one messes with the gang." Ghost, Rudy's right hand says.After Rudy, Nico believes the other person that will have the gull to kill his brother will be Ghost.His bruised face and knuckles is already proof."You are just about to head to my house, how sweet." Nico walks to the middle of the room and s
"You need to calm down, it's probably nothing that serious." Gianna tries to ease Nico's mind even though she herself is mentally panicking. She tries not to allow her thoughts wander because she needs to be present to calm him down."Jamal is stalling on he information which means he wants to ensure I'm not on the road when I hear it. So, it's definitely serious." Nico says as they zoom past Purple's Ville Welcome sign.She doesn't know if it's possible but she can swear that she can hear his heart beating.Instead of assuring him everything is going to be alright as she as been since the beginning of the drive, she puts her hand on his. Showing him that no matter what happens, she is right here for him.After a few minutes driving d
"I think we have lost them." Nico says looking at the rear view mirror as he slows down.Gianna breathes in relief, she looks back to be sure before speaking, "Thanks," she says."No worries, I love a good car chase and I must say, you brother have quite a temper." Nico says referring to the time, he shot at the truck multiple times."He is insane. I bet if dad finds out he shot at me, he'll be dead." She sighs as her tense shoulder relaxes."Good thing we are close to my brother's place."The continue driving, with Gianna looking at the back repeatedly. At a point, Nico holds on to her hand to assure her they are safe.~~~
"Let me talk to him," Kaylee says rushing towards the door.Alexander looks down at her in annoyance but he shrugs in defeat. He turns to his son. "Let your mother handle this."Gio let's out a low groan as Kaylee opens the door and leaves them at in hallway.Her heartbreaks the minute she sees a Bill, his face bruised, she can't imagine the bruises behind his bloody shirt.She can't believe Gio did this. Bill took care of him when he was sick, he was there during his games in high school. He took care of him more than she even did.He looks so frail and old.Kaylee rushes to him, she falls on her knees and hold his head up. His eye
"Hmmm, are you sure it's okay that's we are using his car considering you just had a big fight with him second ago?" Gianna asks getting into the car.Nico pause for a second before shutting the door. "Well yeah, he doesn't have any monopoly on the car it's not his own."Gianna nods as she struggles with the seatbelt while Nico turns on the car And drives out of the compound.The car has been silent for a few minutes he has driven out of Purple's Ville and the silence is killing him."Spit it out, you think I should have allowed my fight your BFF escalate." He says the word BFF in a mocking tone.Gianna rolls her eyes. "Yeah, I think your fight with your brother could have been preve
"What the fuck happened over there? I got fucking Beth telling me that the gang's loyalty is only extended to me. You were supposed to talk to them as well." Nico tries to control his voice as he speaks into his phone. He doesn't want Jamal to feel he's ordering him around but Nico is really pissed."Yeah, we were supposed to meet up at the gang's hangout spot but your sister played me and talked to them alone. Not my fault bro," Jamal replies."Set up a meeting on Friday, I want them to know who's really in charge. Tell them if they want to make real money, not the scraps Rudy gives them, then they should hear me out.""Why Friday?"Nico pauses, takes the last step on the stairs before speaking, "I am going out of town this night wit
"What's happening?" Kaylee asks storming into the living room. "What am I hearing about Bill?"Angelo shifts on his chair to look at his wife before waving the driver he was talking to off. "Gio thinks Bill betrayed us, he's having a chat with him right now."No no, he would do that." Kaylee shakes her head."And if at all, why we aren't having the conversation in the open?" Kaylee folds her arms"Come on now, we can't be seen palying favorates with our staffs.""Bill is more than a staff, he is like family!" Kaylee tries to control her tone but she ends up yelling."But he is not," Angelo stands up. "Our daughter might be in danger because of him. He helped her escape."
Gianna can feel a hole being drilled on her forehead, she tries to stay as still as possible even though she has been awake for a while. She hopes she looks cute under his gaze or she will just feel stupid.Not that she will be able to stop herself from feeling and looking stupid when she sets her eyes on him, she knows she won't be able to keep herself from smiling.So embarrassing, He hates this, he can't control himself from smiling. When he saw her, he thought he had figured her out, what she was capable of, he never expected her to have him feeling this giddy.He hates this.He hates that his head is trying to incorporate her into his plan even though she is not
