“I didn’t kill Linda.” Blythe spoke.
“I know, but I haven’t been able to find her. So, I put out a missing person’s report already to cover it up. I get the feeling she will come looking for you and your mother, so when she does. Call me and I will dispose of her body as well. Now get out of here. My team will be here soon.”
“Thank you, Steve. Really, thank you.” B spoke sincerely.
“Of course. Can’t believe the lengths they went through to hurt your family.”
“Yea me either. How did you know I was here?”
“I didn’t. I had been calling your phone with no answer, so I decided to pop up. Glad I did.” He turned answering his phone dismissing us. We headed for the service elevator to take us to her penthouse.
“I can’t believe you killed someone for me.” She spoke low as soon as the elevator doors closed.
“Ain’t shit I won’t do for you angel.” I replied, pushing her hair behind her ear.
“Then I am all yours.” She smiled and I smirked thinking she was finally telling me she was mine, all fuckin’ mine.
We made it up to her place and she headed for the guest bathroom while I went to her master bathroom to run her a bath. I added in her vanilla scented bubble bath and Epsom salt to help with her soreness, welts and bruising.
I could hear her talking to her mom on my phone in the kitchen, so I took a moment to think about what the fuck happened tonight. I had never killed anyone before. And regret never creeped in. I would do it again if I had to.
It’s crazy to think how much my life had changed moving back here from St. Louis. And I can honestly say it was for the better. I was closer to my family, and I think I had found the love of my life.
“Hey.”
“Hey.” I looked up, locking eyes with Blythe, she was still wearing the green silk robe Autumn wrapped her in. “Come here.” She moved slowly to me and I admired every feature. Yea, a nigga was definitely in love. She had me blushing from her presence alone. “Take this off and get in the tub.” I instructed her, grabbing the rope of the robe and pulling it loose. I pushed it off her shoulders and let it cascade down her body. I would have loved looking at her if it wasn’t for all the welts and bruises on her soft ass skin. I wanted to bring his bitch ass back to life and snap his neck again.
She grabbed my chin and lifted my face to hers. She smiled down at me and I pulled her close. I kissed her bruises before lifting her hand and assisting her in the tub. She sank all the way in up to her neck with a soft moan.
Turning around I kneeled in front of the tub and rubbed gently up and down her body. Her eyes were closed and she seemed to be at peace. This was all I wanted for her after hearing her life story. Just fucked up that it took all this for her to get to this point of peace. A slight chuckle left her lips, and she opened her eyes slowly focusing on me.
“What you laughing at?” I asked still rubbing her skin under the water.
“I thought you said you don’t kneel?” She chuckled again showing that pretty ass smile.
“Man, get the fuck out of here.” I laughed with her. I reached over and kissed her lips gently. “Anything for you angel.”
“I love you too.” She smiled before kissing my lips again.
Chapter Twenty-Six
EPILOGUE
One Year Later
“Now Blythe know her ass is a freak.” Aunt Ruby spoke looking around the Venin room Blythe had created. Momma Dawn, Aunt Ruby and Mrs. Beverly, Pharaoh’s mother were picking up the last of Blythe’s boxes. She was officially moved out of her penthouse and living with Pharaoh permanently. Since the night Pharaoh killed Wylder, they had yet to go back and Blythe didn’t regret it at all.
Momma Dawn agreed to help Aunt Ruby and Autumn pack up all her things and move them. Today was the final moving day. Surprisingly Mrs. Beverly agreed to help. She had become great friends with Momma Dawn and Aunt Ruby since everything happened. When she wasn’t with her husband aiding his care, she was with them two causing chaos. Enjoying her well-deserved retirement.
“Yes, she was child. No wonder he fell in love so damn fast.” Mrs. Beverly spoke. They all chuckled looking around at the restraint devices against the walls ready to be taken away. Blythe didn’t want any of them and agreed that if Pharaoh wanted a kink room, they would build one together. But for now, she was enjoying her soft girl era.
“Yea, well. Let’s get the hell out of here and get to this baby shower.” They all prepared to grab the last boxes that said “keep” on them. The door flew opened and in walked Linda Rosewood.
“I knew I would catch up to you black bitches eventually. As luck would have it, I get two for one.” She looked between Momma Dawn and Aunt Ruby. Quickly she pulled a gun from her waist and pointed it at them, shifting back and forth. “Now one of you will tell me where the fuck my son is and I promise to spare one of your lives.”
“And who the fuck is your son?” Momma Dawn asked annoyed.
“Don’t play dumb you bitch. Wylder! I know you know where he is. And somebody better tell me before I shoot you all!” She yelled waving the gun between them. They all knew exactly who she was talking about. Blythe had told them everything when she finally made it to them. They talked for hours about everything that happened. Momma Dawn harbored a lot of guilt for all that transpired. She felt if she would had taken heed to the warning not to be with Calvin all of this could have been avoided. Blythe quickly shut that down explaining there was no way for her to know. “I will give you three seconds to tell me where the hell my son is before I start shooting. One! Two!”
