“Blaze is here, and he just saw me, so I’m praying he won’t come over here.”
Elite chuckled and took a swig of his beer. “Let his ass come.”
Denali wanted peace and he would respect that, so he wouldn’t start anything, but if Blaze was on some bullshit… Elite would most definitely end it.
“Elite! Come look at my high score!” Amir requested.
As much as he didn’t want to leave Denali alone, Elite stood and quickly made his way over to the children.
“That’s what’s up, lil man,” he complimented, giving Amir a high five. “Good job, both of you. Stay over here for a minute, aight? I’ll set y’all up with a new game.”
Elite fed the machine a few more bills before heading back to the table, and for a moment, he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. From a short distance, it looked like the man Denali was arguing with was Henry, but that couldn’t be true. Chuckling under his breath, Elite rubbed his palms together as he walked back over.
Henry looked at him, and as soon as he did, his head flung back, and he laugh. “Oh, so because I fucked your wife, you called yourself coming after my woman?”
“This your baby daddy?” Elite confirmed.
“Yes,” Denali replied softly. “But he gave up his rights so…” She shrugged. “My kids don’t have a father anymore.”
Henry’s frown amused Elite, but not enough for his fists to keep from opening and closing.
“I’mtheir daddy now,” Elite taunted, wanting to give Henry a reason to swing at him… because if Elite swung first, he didn’t stand a fucking chance.
“You can’t shoot yo’ piece in here, so I would advise you to watch what you say to me,” Henry warned.
Rolling his tongue across his teeth, Elite sighed and tried to stop the urge to hit Henry that was building up, but it was getting harder and harder to maintain.
“You need to get the kids out of here,” Elite said, removing his chain and handing it to her.
“What the hell is going on?” Denali asked, voice raised slightly.
“You gon’ follow me outside or keep talkin’ shit?” Elite asked, turning his back to Henry and heading for the door.
“I fucked his wife and got her pregnant, now he mad,” Henry replied, and Elite turned back in his direction. “The fuck you gon’ do abou—”
Before Henry could finish, Elite’s jab to his mouth had silenced him. Denali ran in the direction of the kids, and Elite was grateful, because he couldn’t stop now. His left hand connected with his temple, and even though Henry swung back, Elite weaved before landing an uppercut that had Henry falling back and into the table.
Elite dragged an unconscious Henry out of the room. He’d waited a long fucking time to get his hands on Henry, and a room full of witnesses wasn’t going to stop a damn thing he had planned.

As Elite sat outside of Denali’s home, he wondered if he even wanted to go in. They would need to talk, but at the moment, he couldn’t. The fact that he’d allowed his anger to control him to the point where he couldn’t wait to take things outside had been fucking with him all damn day. It was close to midnight, but Denali’s light was on. As much as he wanted to go inside, he called Jacintha instead.
“You good?” Jacintha asked.
“Yeah. Just wanted to let you know Henry was handled.”
Jacintha gasped. “What? How?”
“Coincidently, he’s Denali’s baby daddy. We spotted him out and he tried to talk shit, so I gave it to ’im. My plan was to beat his ass enough to teach him a lesson, then drop him off at 201 so he could be arrested…”
“But…”
“I got a little carried away so he’s at the hospital now, but as soon as he’s released, he’s going to jail. He’s already cuffed to the bed.”
Jacintha released a sigh of relief. “Thank you, Elite. I feel like a weight has literally been lifted from my shoulders. Now I can go to Washington and start my new life in peace.”
“I want you to really do that, Jah. Leave everything else in Memphis behind. Forget it and don’t look back. Just focus on the girls and yourself.”
