“Congratulations, Nigga… you were geeked last night so I couldn’t even congratulate you.” I reached over and dapped him.

“It takes a strong nigga to put up with Zoya’s ass,” Meer laughed.

“You would know,” Capri looked at her husband.

Ol’ lovesick asses.

G laughed as he rubbed his beard. “Nah, it takes a secure nigga to put up with a woman that’s used to carrying everything herself. She doesn’t know how to accept help because there’s never been a nigga there to offer it to her. Boobie’s independence is a trauma response. A less than nigga would be insecure with a woman like her and have been insecure when with her. As confused as I am with her at times, I was made for her.”

Like she knew he was talking about her, she came out the house with juice in her hand. “Ginger… yum.”

She took a seat right next to him, as he sipped her freshly pressed juice. “You alright?”

“Not really… I feel so queasy, but don’t have to throw up.”

“Mouth moist?” Aimee asked.

“Yes… I keep having to spit and I hate it.” She sighed, as she looked at everyone happily sipping her juice.

Goon was going to make her a brat, and Zoya deserved all of that. With the way he and his family would spoil her, she needed that.

“Y’all plotting on killing me is wild,” Menace walked up with his hands pushed into his pocket.

“Carl, don’t start your shit,” Meer laughed.

“Moschino, your grandmother drugged me.”

Skyler busted out laughing. “Gams is known for using us as her test subjects.”

“I like Gambino.”

“Gams… her fucking name is Gams,” Goon laughed.

I looked around at all of them and knew I had to trust each of them with my life. No matter how much they played, when it came down to handling business, they handled that shit without a doubt.

“You on,” Menace said to his phone.

He turned his phone around, and Kora was in the screen with a dramatic beach hat and dark sunglasses on. The beach was in her background, as she looked into the camera.

“You will turn yourself in. We can help you disappear, but that would mean living your life in the shadows. I also know you want to keep your career as well,” Kora started. “Zoya.”

“Kora, I’m pregnant…thought you should know,” she started.

Kora held her hand over her mouth. “She let Gusto knock her up.”

“Fuck you, Menace.”

“I’m going to be an auntie again… Bean, you little whore.”

All of our eyes got wide. “The biggest.”

“Sleepover at my place once we’re back home... okay? I’m holding you to it, Zoya,” she scolded her.

“Uh huh. Can I speak now?”

“Congratulations, Gerald. I’m so happy for the both of you. Does that mean you’ll be becoming a Caselli?”

He turned in his seat. “Fuck no… why the fuck y’all keep asking that? She coming up off that damn last name and becoming a Wraithe.”
