“Morgan go get that doctor and tell them to bring that baby up here with her mama and daddy.
Period nannie
He had so much debt to repay to Alani; so much appreciation to show; so much love to give.
They were used to him being their leader. Today he was human. He was more human than he had ever been. He didn’t possess the answers they were seeking.
Don’t let another man love your daughter first. The shit will never go away. It’ll always fuck with you.”
It would be handled because money made the rules. The richest man in the room always won.
I need you to tell me why you would hand me off to Meek like I’m nothing cuz that’s the same thing Lucas did to me. When he was done, he gave his homeboy a turn. Why do niggas keep passing me off like I’m nothing?”
He had loved spoiled Morgan, jealous Morgan, insecure Morgan, hostile Morgan, and difficult Morgan, but mommy Morgan was his favorite shorty.
Some people just enter your life and fill a need, whether you want them to or not. That was Alani Okafor.
“I got questions too. How long did it take before you decided it was okay to start taking dick from a nigga I call my brother?”
I meannnnnn I agree just harshly put.
Name one bitch I ever held in the same light as you? Name one who I ever put before you?”
“Morgan you would complicate 2+2 if you could,” Nannie said, shaking her head. “The way Alani cooking and cleaning and babysitting these twins, she’s nothing less than a mother to this family, including you, so cut your shit, little girl.”
A read !!!
The abandonment from Messiah’s choices made it hard for her to capture what Alani and Ethic shared.
Loving a man was a dangerous game because you gave away your power.
Shit could be so easy if the male species would simply live in the realm of black and white. Niggas loved to exist in gray zones where right could be wrong and wrong could be justified.
A steel lock was placed on the door. He opened it and pulled it open. Christiana Fredricks sat against the exposed steel heater, arms cuffed behind her and connected to a 3 foot chain.
Biiitccchhhhh
He was too deep in to watch Morgan sail off into the sunset with Messiah. There was a part of him that knew they deserved to see where their relationship would go, but there was another part that knew all roads led home eventually.
“Niggas,” Aria said, shaking her head. “One thing they gone do is nig.
Sometimes you forgive just to keep the people you love in your life,”
Only Benny Atkins could justify the illogical devotion of siding with her, even when she was wrong. Ethic was a father figure, but he wasn’t her daddy. He was that for Bella. He was that for Eazy.
He had been a baby when Raven died. Living without her was all Eazy knew. Losing Alani would unravel the fabric of Eazy’s existence.
He almost wished he hadn’t met her at all. It would have almost been easier because to have and then lose her was destroying him.
In 20 years, what if you don’t write either of them into your story? You do know that this is your story, right? You have the pen. You have the power.”
What is love? What is love worth? Love is not the thing you need to concern yourself with. Love gone come and love gone leave. That’s just what it does.
Love is a trick, but baby you got to trick bigger. You require loyalty.
Queens don’t chase, we sit, and we wait for the greatest man to prove his worth. That man will bring everything I just listed to you on a silver platter with no confusion involved.”
Periodt
“An old lady wasn’t supposed to see you out of here. This ain’t nothing like right, but His will be done. I’m proud of you. Go peacefully now. Settle your soul and be with your children. I love you, Nannie’s girl.”
My chest
Love is felt, not seen. Death is just another phase where the physical is left behind, but the spirit lives on. The way she loved you, she’ll never be too far.”
A few years ago, it was Alani trying to bring Morgan back to life. Now he watched with a twisted gut as Morgan began to pump Alani’s chest.
She wants to go. God has people who need her over there,” Ethic whispered.
Her fingers tightened slightly around his hand and Ethic cried as he kissed her forehead.
She doesn’t remember me,” Ethic stated. “How can I not worry?”
“Your husband, Ethic,” Mara said patiently. “What kind of name is that?” Alani asked. “It used to be one you loved,” Ethic said, appearing suddenly in the doorway.
Girl lmao
You a walking billboard for low self-esteem, shorty and it’s a fucking disgrace because you used to be untouchable. Niggas knew not to even try you without losing their life. Now what they think of you?”
Wow dude thats low
“I can eat that pussy in the car or in the bed, love. Your choice,” Ahmeek stated. Morgan turned stunned eyes to him.
Meekieeeee
“All roads lead back to you. No matter what happens, no matter who is against it, no matter where life takes us. I want to love you for the rest of my life, Ahmeek.”
Every time Morgan was ready to swerve into his lane someone else got in the way. First Messiah, now Livi, and it made Ahmeek wonder if they should even try at all.
Morgan was a girl that loved with her entire heart, all eggs in a wicker basket kind of girl. She had been left with nothing, twice.
It was an obvious end, a sad conclusion, an unexpected demise of something too potent to dilute. It was the broken thing that couldn’t be fixed so it just had to be thrown out. Or maybe that was Morgan?
When Messiah was on his job, Ahmeek was dropping the ball. When Ahmeek was applying pressure, Messiah was causing her headaches. It was like they were designed to keep her in a constant state of WTF.
That pussy good, baby. It’s fucking phenomenal, but it wasn’t supposed to be forever. It ain’t gone ever be forever with me and you. Whatever you decide I’ma man up and handle mine,” he said.
Im weak
I’m not paying for the fucking abortion and make sure you add some O’s to that shit,” she said. “Get off my doorstep, Meek. Fuck you.”
Or you could come and take me home,” Alani whispered. “I don’t think I want to heal away from you anymore. Whatever I can’t remember, I trust you to fill in the blanks.”
About time
Did he love two women at the same time? Messiah couldn’t even call it.
If anything was the straw that broke the camel’s back, Messiah and Bleu was it.
Nah let her little hood rat ass go, Isa! That’s the exact type of mother I expect her to be! The type to fight in front of his kid. Little ass girl. I don’t even know what he sees in you.”
Bleu you cocky now huh
Royal family reported missing. Foul play suspected. Fiance’ of Sebastian Frederick, Morgan Atkins, wanted for questioning.
Wtf
He was standing in front of their son’s grave, saying goodbye to his son’s mother.
Bleu had played her cards wrong and because her son was in the ground and Messiah had two living children to be accountable for, she couldn’t stay.
