“Inferno is downstairs, you’re going to carry your mom down to the car with Luv. Peep you will be taking a ride with me and Inferno.” Queen gave off orders, but I didn’t follow as I marched right up to Peep and knocked him in the chin off his feet. I didn’t stop there, I stomped him all on his chest making him choke and desperately try to catch his breath.

“You were gone make my sister a woman nigga?” Crack! I stomped him in his face.

“Teddy, enough. We have kids to think about right now.” She warned and nodded her head towards the door. I stepped away breathing hard but still felt anger rumbling through me.

“I swear I wasn’t.” Peep murmured, making Queen laugh.

“You were Peep and you would’ve gotten away with it had we not arrived when we did. Now that you’re bleeding, you’re going to clean your fucking face in that bathroom and man the fuck up. If you want to cause a scene when we walk out this door and don’t want to accept your fate easily. Then I guess I’ll be peeping through your momma’s house and making her and that baby momma of yours pay for all of the sins you committed tonight.”

“Queen please! I’ve been loyal to the gang Ma.” He simpered and sat up slowly.

“Loyal! The gang don’t sell work to the hood nigga! Everybody knows that, then you selling to a nigga momma that’s from the fuckin gang. GET YO ASS UP NIGGA AND MAN THE FUCK UP!” For the first time I heard Queen raise her voice. She got quiet when Peep stood up. He turned his back and that’s when she picked her foot up and kicked him in the ass.

“Bitch ass sick nigga! That’s a muthafucking kid!” I could tell she was trying her hardest to keep her composure. Her nostrils were flaring wide as she tossed a towel his way. Once his face was clean, we walked out the room. I looked down at my mom and couldn’t even feel sorry for her ass anymore.

“I don’t want to even look at her Queen.”

“But you have to, in fact… pick her ass up. She will be signing her rights away to these girls.” Luv held on to my leg and I nodded for her to go to Queen.

“Luv… you won’t be seeing momma for a long time after tonight. I’m your parent and from now on you have to listen to me.” I made that shit clear.

“Yes Teddy.” She blinked out crocodile tears as we exited the room. My mom being in my arms was like deja vu. I made a vow that after we got her to sign her rights over, I was done with her until she really convinced me that she was clean. It was time for me to live my fucking life and raise my sisters. That’s where my focus was from here on out. I was done letting my mom come in and out of our lives causing so much confusion and destruction.

The night events after the hotel were crazy. Queen and Inferno were really meant to be. They burned Peep alive down to the bones. My mom was considered dead to me until she fixed herself up and to do that could possibly take years.

Me and the girls end up spending the night with Queen and Inferno. Same night of feeling down and out, Inferno and Queen made shit better by handing me over contracts. A contract that would change me, and my sister’s life forever. Green Bay Packers was my favorite football team, I once dreamed about playing for them once I made it to the NFL.

Inferno was so well connected that he told me I didn’t need an internship, but training would be for months. I was now a part of the Green Bay field operations. Queen really wanted me to end up playing but figured since I didn’t want to finish school and needed to make money, she felt like this would be a good way in. I accepted and signed on the dotted line.

I used to be afraid of change but never scared to make money for the well-being of my siblings as well as myself.

Chapter Thirty-Four

SOVEREIGN

I sat in the middle of Malice’s living room boohoo crying. The tears were coming down so fast I couldn’t stop them. I tried to think hard on why I was even crying but so many emotions hit me as Rose moved Jack’s frozen hands off the makeshift door raft. As his head disappeared into the cold ass water I rocked back and forth and cried hard shoulders shaking, nose burning with my eyes feeling heavy with more tears escaping.

“Oh, Jack!” I cried like he was my man as I reached for a sweet pickle, biting right into it then shoving some white cheddar popcorn behind it for the taste effect. I snickered a little at the fact that I was really feeling raw emotion from watching Titanic for the third time today. I was starting to realize that I had too much time on my hands now. My gang was running so smoothly without any hiccups since I had new Lieutenants in place. With the protection of the syndicate, I didn’t really have to do shit but make sure I had a full-term pregnancy.

Malice was seeing to that, he had me pampered twenty-four seven. Our house was almost done being built so for now I stayed at his Mega mansion. Some days I woke up and went straight to my shop and did work that eased my mind and served as therapy for me.

I was now four in a half month pregnant and was thrilled. The day the doctor confirmed that I was pregnant and healthy was the day I fell head over heels in love with Malice. I mean, I couldn’t stand his fine ass at first and I really wasn’t willing to bend for him. I got tired of running from the facts and how dainty and the soft era I was entering with her. Being with a man like Malice was a blessing and a curse. I held on to some of my independence and wasn’t willing to let go of my gang because it reminded me of the savage, I had to become in order to survive.

Malice had big dick energy all the way around, from the way he walked and talked and handled his business and me as his woman. What I had with him in such a short time, I never had with any man including Melvin.

The front door opened, and I quickly wiped at my face as I got super excited to see my man walk through the door. Instead, Big B and Killa walked in with blood smeared all over their shirts. My mouth instantly went dry as I stood to my feet and watched a couple of women walk in with scrubs. Big B and Killa talked in hushed tones as Inferno walked in wearing all black. His magical-looking eyes looked dull as he offered a weak smile and then collapsed down on one knee. His deep voice rumbled with a low chuckle as he cleared his throat and forced himself to stand back up.

It was obvious that he had gotten hurt but was trying to overcome his injuries.

“Baby!” I ran towards him as he struggled and cursed at Big B for trying to help him. I quickly examined him from the top of his head to his feet until I noticed the side of his stomach. His shirt was saturated with blood. He smiled and his white teeth were covered with blood.

“I got you an early birthday gift but first, I got to let them stitch me up and get me straight.” He coughed as blood leaked from his mouth. Holding on to his shirt he collapsed back down, and his face balled up in pain. Quickly fixing his face he gave direct orders as Killa and Big B listened closely.

“Sovereign, go down to the guest room.” He paused and struggled catching his breath. I want you to shower; get yourself comfortable, Rosa will bring you tea and you will rest. When you wake up, I’ll be good and ready to talk to you.” I shook my head no, but the stern look he gave me let me know that I didn’t have a choice.

Still, I stood in place as they helped him to his feet. I wanted to know if he would be okay. I didn’t want to leave his side.

“I’m not some dainty ass bitch, Malice. You already know this.”
