My heart went still as I studied the picture. He faked his death while Joie really had to be buried.
When it comes to your life and a nigga that’s trying to take it, you gonna bang yo shit every time.
“What paperwork?” “Capone… your home, cars, businesses, and all the fucking money you’re worth. You have to protect yourself.” “You want McDonald’s?” I ignored her. “Desperately.”
According to her, their Sprite was equal to cocaine, that was how strong it was.
confused fear with being weak. To be a well-rounded man, you had to feel all emotions. There were a lot of times when I had experienced fear, and that didn’t make me a weaker man because of it.
“I’m going to do it with or without your blessing, Capo,” he told me. “He took my girl and child away from me. I want to be the one that ends him, nobody else.”
He didn’t see at night when I struggled with going to sleep because of the pain I had caused other families. I lay awake at night holding Erin in my arms and praying that I never have to live a life without her or my kids because of some shit I did when I was younger.
Everybody was flying in tomorrow, and Erin didn’t have a clue.
“God handpicked you and Erin to be her parents for a reason. I don’t doubt the both of you for a second. I know me and your mama will love on her just like we’ve done with CJ and Naomi.”
“Daddy isn’t here to walk you down the aisle. I don’t remember much about him, E, but I know that he would have been here to walk you down this aisle if he could. I want to step in his place and walk you down the aisle and give you away.”
“You’ve walked this journey with just the two of you alone… I’m,” he cleared his throat and looked down at CJ, “We’re not letting you walk alone again… I got ya’ll.”
“So many things are uncertain when it comes to our daughter right now, but I’m certain of one thing, and that’s that she was made in love. I love you, Erin Delgato.”
He introduced Erin to CJ without even speaking to me about it, so he had no right to tell me what to do when it came to my son.
You’re sleeping with his op…
“Oh, baby, that is a special nickname that your mommy has given you. I think we should keep it special by letting it be between the two of you… okay?”
“I’ve never done this before so I don’t know what to do, and I’m kind of scared. So, I’m going to need all the help I can get. Especially from you. You’ve been a big brother before, so you know a lot, right?” He smiled, happy that I wanted his expertise on the matter. “I can help you so much. We won’t tell Daddy… our secret.”
“Even more of a reason for you to not force anything. Ryai, what Erin has is her love. Baby, you will find one that will be yours, and it will make you not even remember the shit that happened in the past.”
“Any real man would never put his hands on you, or make you think that you’re not enough. It may hurt now, but you’re better off without him in the long run.” We all snapped our necks toward Big Mike.
Capone had a seizure at Ella’s crib.”
don’t want to meet your stupid boyfriend. I want to see my father!” he yelled, stomping his feet at me.
Tell that nigga that I’m his fucking daddy…. I run shit. He doesn’t fucking eat unless I say he do.
“You give my brothers loyalty, but you couldn’t give me it.”
“You couldn’t have possibly thought we would fix things, and everything would be perfect. I sat in jail for a whole weekend because of you and your decisions. I asked, practically begged you to come clean and tell me if there was someone else, and you lied in my face. I used to think that because I went crazy over you, willing to follow you, check your phone and even smell your dick when you were sleep that it was love. That being crazy about someone is love. Beyoncé fucking lied because that’s not love. I deserve to know my man is out there handling business and not sliding in between thighs.

“He’s my son, Capo.”
“Yeah. Knows that you’re his uncle, too. Guess he was trying to keep it lowkey in case we didn’t know.”
