"I was listenin' to the ocean

I saw a face in the sand

But when I picked it up

Then it vanished away from my hands, down

 

I had a dream I was seven

Climbing my way in a tree

I saw a piece of heaven

Waiting impatient for me, down

    Xara, Penny, Alianna, and Mabel stood by Mrs. Wilson's graveside, where a heart-wrenching chapter had just concluded. The woman who had been the bedrock of Xara's life, her mother, now rested six feet beneath the earth. The weight of grief and anger bore down on her. Her mother, the only true source of unconditional love in her life, had been taken from her by a drunken, abusive husband. Xara was consumed by a burning determination to ensure that the man responsible faced the full extent of justice, to rot in prison and never see the light of day again. The profound injustice of her mother's fate had ignited a fire within her. Penny and Alianna, understanding the need for privacy, discreetly stepped away, leaving the sisters to their shared sorrow. Silence hung in the air until Mabel spoke, breaking the heavy quietude. "How are you holding up?" she asked, her eyes filled with concern. Xara, her eyes bloodshot from tears and anger, stared at her sister, her voice trembling as she re

    "She parked the car at the parking lot and then entered the hotel. She had been driving for quite some time now and she needed rest for her weary bones. The news of her escape from jail might have died down by now. She thought to herself getting on the elevator after checking herself into the hotel. It was a small yet posh and comfortable hotel. " I could stay here until I get my place. I've got enough money to buy myself that time," she smirked entering her room. The room was huge and exquisite. Her bed was huge and soft, and the view from the room, omg. It was gorgeous. The man she killed was on the news as the police took his body from where she dumped it. There were no witnesses to the case as well. She smiled and changed the tv station. **** " It's so boring!" Xara whined. She had been given a three-week break from work. "It's for your good," Lorenzo added. His contract with the other company had ended and he was fully working for Xara now. He had been tracking Valerie's m

    Penny walked down the aisle smiling. She never thought a day like this would come soon. She smiled at her mom who was shedding tears of joy. Lyle stood at the altar waiting for his beautiful bride. She looked both sexy and beautiful in her wedding gown. Within a few minutes, she was standing before him as they both faced each other while the priest began. Alianna stood beside her friend with Xara and another lady as the service went on. Xara's mind wondered afar to the mind-blowing sex she had with her husband a couple of weeks ago. " I pronounce you man and wife, you may kiss the bride." the priest said as Lyle unveiled his bride and passionately kissed her. His sisters cheered him on as he kissed her. They went out and took a ton of pictures before heading out to the reception. As soon as they got there and got out, a wave of nausea hit Xara as she smelt the food. She hurried to the washroom leaving Alianna confused. Alianna followed her friend assuri

    Lina and Lana rang the doorbell again waiting for an answer. It had been long they last saw their brother and his wife. The last time they saw him was at his wedding. " Surprise, surprise," Lina said as Penny got the door. "Oh my...come on in. It's been a while we saw you girls." Penny said as they walked in. " Thanks, you have a beautiful home by the way." Lana complimented. " Thanks, please have a seat and what do I get you?" she inquired. " Anything you have at home." they both answered at the same time. " Just a minute," Penny said as she hurried into the kitchen to get them something to eat. Ah, right timing. " Babe," Penny answered her phone. " Hey, sweetheart... how's your day going?" Lyle asked his wife. " It's going great, Lina and Lana are here by the way," she told him. Oh, really?" he raised his brow. " Yeah," she answered setting two glasses and a bottle of win

    “ Valerie, what else do you want from him? You made it out of jail, made money, and you're living an obedient life. What at all do you need again?” Well, the caller asked. “ Oh, I don't need anything from him but a small payback,” she smirked. “ Payback for what? Haven't you done enough already? Haven't you caused adequate harm to him and his family… What do you want?” the caller said in frustration. “ Payback they say is a…bitch. The scumbag made me rot in that vile following cell. He humiliated me in front of everyone. For now, I'm just focusing on making else money, waiting for my jailbreak saga to die down, and then I strike when he least expects it.” she laughed hysterically. “ You're one nut job…” ******** “ Mr. Ken Wilson, 55 years of age, father of two.

    "I'm so sorry, I didn't see you there." Valerie apologized bumping into a handsome young man. He looked sophisticated. " It's fine, don't worry about it..." he trailed off. Her hand bent over to pick up the clutch she intentionally dropped when she bumped into him. " That's fine, I would see you around then." she turned around to go. She began to count in her head 1..2...and 3. "Excuse me," the man called her back. Works like magic, she said to herself walking towards him. " Umm, you called." she bit down her lips seductively. " Yeah, here's my card. Call me when you get to your destination. I'd love for us to have dinner, to get to know ourselves better." he stared at her cleavage. " I'd love to Sir," she responded.

    AJ lay in Valerie's bed fast asleep. She sat up smoking a cigarette lost in thought. He's not a bad company. I could hang around him for a while before discarding him, besides he's got the dough. Isn't that what everyone wants? She chuckled. She stole another glance at him. He slept peacefully as if he had no care in this world. No troubles, no nothing. He slept like a newborn babe. Valerie wore her robe and descended the stairs to the kitchen. Her tummy was rumbling and she decided to fix breakfast for both of them since he was already here. She finished with their breakfast an

    Epilogue. " So you mean you're part of the Mafia?" Lorenzo asked as they walked along the streets. The street lights laminated their paths as they took a stroll. " Of course, I am their lawyer...a Mafia lawyer," she explained. " Okay, that explains the men you came along with to help us out." " Yeah," she answered. " For how long have you been a Mafia lawyer?" he couldn't help but ask. " After law school, when my dad died. I had no choice but to take over because I was my father's successor that's why he sent me to law school in the first place. At first, I didn't want to be a part of it but I had no choice when he threatened to disown me. I had nowhere to go or to start from so I obeyed him and after he died I became their lawyer. I was sceptical at first but when time went on, I got used to it and decided to stay." she explained. " I see," he answered. Lorenzo and Kenzie headed over to her plac

    " We meet again Kai Maximilian," Valerie curled her lip pointing a gun at Elon's head. " What do you want?" he interrogated as another masked man held Xara down. " Chill, Kai. A little payback won't hurt," she laughed like a maniac. " Why did I involve myself with you in the first place?" he blurted out. " Because I could give it to you real good. Something none of your bitches could do," she let out a dry laugh. " Yeah right," " I loved you, Kai, since high school. But you ignored me. You reported to management that I was stalking you and hurt some of the girls you went out with. Of course, I did all that. But I still loved you, so after college, I tracked you. But you didn't recognise me. I had changed. We were fine until Mabel came in, but she was a scaredy-cat so she ran off. Then you went for her, I thought she would leave as her sister did. She didn't.

    Weeks had passed and Lorenzo had been discharged from the hospital. Kai spent more time with his family, he came to check on his wife and son regularly. He even spent some nights in Xara's house, he hadn't yet summoned the courage to ask them to move back in with him. He needed all this mess to be over before he asked them to move in. Now more than ever, Lorenzo was determined to find Valerie. He needed to find her and end this madness once and for all. He knew she was hiding in a town not far away from Brooklyn, NY and how she had made a living for herself. What he needed right now was an insider to monitor her footsteps and plans. He had been able to track down the assassin she hired. Time to pay him a nice visit. " Boss, I need a favour." " Kenzie, what kind of favour do you want?" he asked her. " I need men to track down a certain someone who almost killed people I've come care about," she told him. She was a mafia lawyer, a

    " Xara, Elon...move!" Lorenzo got there just in time to take the bullet for them. " Aaah!" Xara gripped Elon's hand as a crowd gathered around them. The bullet hit Lorenzo's right arm, getting to his chest. He lay in a pool of blood as Xara stood frozen, she felt blood trickle down her legs. " Call an ambulance please," Lorenzo called out in pain. Elon held onto his mother's legs crying and terrified at the scene that just unfolded in front of them. The paramedics gently put Lorenzo onto the stretcher and helped Xara into the ambulance as well as Elon as they were rushed to the hospital. " Next time, don't miss the target., Valerie said into the assassin's AirPods " Got it, boss," the masked man responded blending into the crowd after he fled from the scene.
