But I could see her.

And she was getting out of the car.

My hand was still holding the Demontae letter. My mind was still processing the impossibility of it all. Zuri's secret son. Kaseem's biological half-brother. The man Kaseem was supposed to be at war with.

Mallory was now standing at the fence, trying to figure out if she could climb it.

I called Kaseem’s phone again and this time he answered.

“I’ll talk to you when I get home Tattiana. I’m about to pick Zaire up. He’s being released in a few minutes. Now, ain’t the time.” he dismissed me.

“I’m happy for Zaire. But I’m calling to let you know, your whore Mallory is on the property trying to climb the gate. If she gets over it, I’m going to smoke this bitch. I’ll see you soon!” I said as I ended the call, and went to his safe. I didn’t know the combination, but I damn sure was about to figure it out.I knew he was still mad about what happened at my aunt’s house, but his ass didn’t need to be dry with me.

Today was just full of damn surprises.

Everything I'd kept hidden. Everything Zuri had kept hidden. Everything was about to collide.

I watched Mallory test the gate. Watched her pull at it. Watched her realize she couldn't climb it without getting caught on the barbed wire at the top.

She stood there for a moment, staring at the barrier between her and what she wanted.

Then she pulled out her phone again and made a call.

She was standing there, phone to her ear, staring at the compound like she was supposed to be here.

And I had no idea which bomb was going to explode first. What I did know was that this time, nobody would be able to keep me from fucking this bitch up for popping up to my shit. And yes, now, this was MY SHIT. I was already having a fucked up day and all I needed was a reason.
