“It don’t make me feel no way at all. I trust my men, and I know how they feel about me. Hell, y’all know how they feel about me, and y’all jealous of that. So jealous that you would kidnap me for attention. Do y’all really think either of them is going to want y’all after this? Come on now, y’all gotta be smarter than that.”

“The kind of women that don’t got shit to lose and you will soon find that out,” April replied.

I looked from them to the two men that hadn’t said a word. “Y’all really want to die today? Because that’s what’s gon’ happen. I don’t know if they told y’all who my boyfriends are, but they don’t play about me. Y’all ain’t gon’ want to be a part of that shit once they get here,” I warned.

The two men just chuckled, clearly not taking what I said seriously. That was on them because I knew better. Neither of them were going to be ready for the shit that would go down once my boyfriends arrived. As scared as I was, I knew I couldn’tshow it. Once Kadeem and Crue got here, I would be good. I just had to make sure I stayed alive until then.

CHAPTER 21

Kadeem

Irode in silence as Crue drove, swerving through traffic, as we made our way to the east side. I didn’t know what we were walking into, and I really didn’t give a fuck either. My main concern was Saniyah and making sure she was okay. Reaching into my pocket, I pulled out my phone and placed a call to Destiny, hoping she’d made it back from her job. I knew we could trust her to help us get Saniyah.

“Hey, Kadeem, what up doe?”

“Destiny, I need you on the pull up. I’m sharing my location with you now. Saniyah is in danger.”

There was a short pause before Destiny replied. “I’m not far from you at all. I’m on my way now.”

I ended the call with Destiny, and Dez called Crue with an exact location, and he put the address into his GPS. We pulled up about five minutes later to a house that damn near looked abandoned. We hadn’t even been there for a full minute when Destiny came flying down the street, parking right behind us. We all got out the cars, and I quickly told Destiny what was going on before we walked up to the door. I kicked it, and the door fell instantly before we walked inside.

A man walked into the living room, and I didn’t even let him get a word out before I grabbed him by his neck and squeezed tightly.

“Where the fuck is Saniyah at, muthafucka?” Crue yelled.

I squeezed tighter, knowing that he couldn’t answer. I didn’t give a fuck either. We knew she was inside this house, and that was all we needed to know. I could feel the life slipping from his body, and when it was gone, I let him go, and he fell to the floor. I didn’t know when Destiny walked away, but when I heard her calling out to us from the back of the house, we rushed to her.

My fist tightened when we walked into the kitchen and saw Saniyah tied to a chair, and I was ready to murder everybody. Destiny had her gun trained on the two women and man that had done this. I was shocked to see it was April and Amika. Crue rushed over and untied Saniyah, but I was so mad I couldn’t even see straight. Walking over to the man, I punched him in the face, breaking his nose instantly. I continued to beat him until there was so much blood that he couldn’t even be recognized.

“April, what the fuck are you doing here?” Crue yelled.

I looked over at them, wanting to know the answer to that my damn self. I had only been with Amika once, and that was months ago when I was in Atlanta. I hadn’t even so much as spoken to her after that. I damn sure had no idea that she even knew April at all. I was confused as fuck, but anger was still shooting through my veins. Although I might not kill a woman, I knew Destiny would handle our light weight.

“I did this for you, baby, just so you can see how it feels to lose something you loved just like I had to. This is your fault, not mine. All you had to do was love me.”

“Bitch, are you crazy? We fucked a few times; that’s it. Why you actin’ like we was in love or some shit? You fucked up when you took our girl though. That shit is unforgivable, and you gon’ have to pay for this.”

“What you gon’ do, Crue? You gon’ shoot me? You gon’ shoot me for that bitch?” April asked, looking into his eyes.

“No, I won’t, but she will,” he said as he pointed at Destiny.

Without another word, Destiny fired four shots, hitting both April and Amika twice. Crue and I both hugged and kissed Saniyah, happy that we’d finally found her. It wasn’t until we let Saniyah go that I noticed Destiny now had her gun trained on us.

“What the fuck?” I asked, pushing Saniyah behind me.

“Y’all don’t pay no attention to me at all. For years, I’ve watched y’all fuck bitch after bitch, pretending not to know. But neither one of y’all ever looked at me. If y’all had of just paid attention to me, you would have seen that we could have been great together. What the fuck did these bitches have that I didn’t?” she asked, a tear sliding down her cheek.

“Put the gun down, Destiny,” I ordered as I looked into her eyes. “What the fuck are you doing?”

“Yeah, Destiny, put that gun down before someone gets hurt,” Crue spoke.

“Y’all really think shit a game, huh? Now, it’s Destiny put the gun down, but none of this would have happened if you would have just paid attention to me. I loved y’all and always had y’all back. But y’all fucked every bitch but me. Why the fuck wasn’t I good enough for y’all?”

I looked at Destiny for a moment, clearly confused. Destiny had worked for Blackline for years and had been trusted with a lot of personal and professional information. We did full background checks on all of our employees before they started work. However, something like this could have never been detected.

“Destiny, what the fuck are you doing?” Crue asked.

“Destiny, what the fuck are you doing?” she repeated, mocking Crue. “That’s a question I been asking myself every fuckin’ day for the past five years. Yet and still, each day I got upand worked for two men that I was in love with that didn’t give a fuck about me.”
