When it came to my sons being husbands, I never worried because I had been a great example. I loved their mother loud and in front of them, so they knew how to treat their women. Mina Inferno was my world, and I would do whatever she wanted. It was funny because she didn’t know the power she held when it came to me.
“Meer is out of surgery and he’s in recovery. He’s waking up now… we were able to remove the bullet, it lacer… it tore through his muscle tissue, causing secondary tearing. We were able to remove the torn tissue and suture him up. He needs to heal, and he may walk with a slight limp. Right now, there’s no telling until he heals. He cannot ride his bike, Pri… I don’t care what he tells you… he’s off the bike until we clear him.” “I can go and see him now?” Capri was anxious as she stood there waiting to see her husband. Hassan nodded his head. “Yeah. He’ll be loopy for a minute, but he was

even on anesthesia he’s still cracking jokes LMAOO meer cat is okay 🙂↕️
“Is he awake… Hassan, is he alive? Please don’t tell me.” She jumped right into action the minute she remembered where she was. Hassan rubbed her shoulders. “His lung collapsed.”
oh jesus no
Dr. Ramos leaned forward. “We were able to remove three bullets that didn’t do any major damage. There was one particular bullet that broke his rib and pierced his lung, and that caused his lung to collapse. We were able to insert a tube in, and we’re hoping the lung inflates. As of right now, he is stable, however, it’s touch and go. He’s on a ventilator because his oxygen is very low.” He looked over at Hassan. “That man… though a resident, saved his friend’s life without a question.”
oh hassan you’re a miracle!
Blair slid down onto the floor and clasped her hands together, staring up at the ceiling while praying. I watched as she prayed with tears sliding down her face. She prayed hard, and thanked God for seeing my boys out of it.
he’s a mighty god
Everything was depending on when Pop woke up, but I knew he was going to wake up and show ‘em why his name was King Inferno.
Recommendation: Listen to Hold On by Lil Kim ft Mary J Blige
He rolled the chair over on the opposite side of the bed and reached up to touch his hand. “Pop, you said you wouldn’t leave me… promised me you wouldn’t. We breaking promises now?” His voice cracked as tears fell down his face. None of us were in the room with him in this moment, it was just him and Sim. He wasn’t concerned that he should have been in bed recovering. His brother, who was always there, wasn’t here with us and that took priority over his own health.
quasim was like a second father to him more than a brother
I kissed his head and squeezed him tighter as I kneeled down in front of the wheelchair. Holding his face and staring into his eyes, my heart broke. I wasn’t staring into Quameer Inferno’s eyes; I was staring into a little brother’s eyes. One who cherished and honored his older brother. Sim was Meer’s best friend.
Recommendation: Listen to Thugz Mansion (N.Y) ft 2Pac.
The triplets were always together, lived together, and you never saw one without the other two. When God blessed their mother’s womb with the three of them, he knew they couldn’t be without each other. Now, they were forced to be separated from their brother, as he sat at the front of the church and the pastor shared a few words.
they didn’t deserve to lose their sibling like that
We lost a God, and nothing was okay for us. As a family, we were all fucked up because Ellis was so young. I remember when Sim told me about how he started looking out for them. Told me how they were menaces in the street, and their grandmother couldn’t control them. She feared this would happen to them, and her fear came true.
Quasim still hadn’t opened his eyes, we were burying a God, and I was carrying a child that I was the least bit worried about. I wasn’t sleeping well, and I barely could eat anything. My mind was on everything else, and our time in Barbados. Everything was good, so fun, and then we came home, and life fell apart.
as much as you’re missing simmy, you gotta take care of yourself AND your baby
As much as it had always been the three of them, it was no question who the leader was. His brothers followed behind him because Ezra was a natural born leader, and that was what Quasim saw in him. It took one big brother to recognize another one, and all that came with being the oldest. His grandmother wasn’t blaming Evan; she blamed Ezra because he was the oldest.
as if losing his brother wasn’t enough 😢
The minute that Havoc made it over to him, he fell into his arms and cried. “He wanted to go to college… wanted to be a fucking a social worker and followed me because I didn’t want to go… always followed behind me,” he continued to break down.
awwww
He was too giddy to relay the message that Quasim was dead. I couldn’t front and pretend like I wasn’t as happy as he was. I felt this immense sense of joy, knowing there was a possibility that he could be gone. Shit, I wished I could be a fly on the wall to see Blair break down because he was gone. Watch her ass ugly cry like Kerry Washington because her man was now in the dirt. She just knew that nigga was going to be her saving grace and now the nigga was going to be pushing up flowers.
don’t get too fucking happy
Polo did a lot of bragging and putting Red down like he wasn’t supposed to be family to him. Last I checked, it was Red that took him under his wing and now he out here acting like he was this big ass boss that made shit happen.
he ain’t shit 😭🤣🤣
Cherish hated Quasim for many reasons, and the main reason was because she felt he was responsible for her cousin being murdered. She placed the blame on him and sat with that hate for years. The mutual hate was what brought her and Rich together, and that was how he started fucking her. Cherish and Cherie looked very similar and could have been sisters. Most people from our old neighborhood used to call them the twins.
that’s why my boy got blindsided before he got shot smh they look so much alike. also, she’s blaming the wrong person for cherie’s death.
Cherish was a hoe. That was why Quasim played her ass to the side. If you had a little dick, then you could flick Cherish’s pearl, because she was gonna hop on your shit no matter what. I would know because I fucked shorty back in the day at a party.
of course you did with your dirty dick ass
Rich knew she was a whore, but he didn’t care because she reminded him so much of her cousin. I always wondered why the fuck he killed Cherie if he was going to be so depressed about the shit. Lucia’s ass always hung around and put up with his shit; I never understood their situation and I didn’t want to. Lucia’s ass gave me crazy lifetime chick, and I didn’t need her trying to use her connections to get my ass knocked.
rich killed her cousin yet she still fucked with him—i’m guessing she doesn’t know—and lucia’s dumb was running behind him 🙄
“She bad as fuck and independent… shorty don’t need me for nothing. She’s CV, right? Should be proud, it was her bullet that took Quameer’s ass down.” He didn’t give me a second to finish before he picked up her call and then headed out the kitchen. “More like ran through the CV’s.”
okay that was funny LMAO
As for me, I was waiting to hear from my wifey. I knew it would only be a matter of time before she reached out. She knew I would fix whatever was wrong, and we would be happy. Before all of that, she needed to get on her knees and suck this dick while apologizing at the same time. I wanted tears, snot, and cum coming out her nose for the way she fucked me over and thought shit was sweet. Yeah. My dick jumped just thinking about it.
AS IF YUCK! but you’ll be hearing from soon mhmm mhmm
Thea
ugh i gotta read on this bitch
I guess I should have been grateful to have a mother that cared, to have parents that wanted to be involved in my life, but it always rubbed me the wrong way. Made me feel like I was being smothered, and they didn’t think I was smart enough to do anything on my own.
obviously not cause you were always getting into shit
Where my mother was the type that wanted to get down to the bottom of things, my father was a military man who had thin patience. He was already disappointed that I was a girl instead of a boy. Then to add to that, I never could do right. I was always getting arrested and following the wrong crowd. He hated my boyfriends, not because they were always the wrong type, but because they were black.
but you hate on your mother MEANWHILE YOU GOT A RACIST FOR A DADDY?
I wish taking our eggs was the only horrors they were committing. There were women full blown pregnant that would give birth and have their baby ripped from them. I’ve witnessed women trying to run out the house after giving birth because they wanted their baby that bad.
and lucia was proud of continuing rich’s wicked ass hustle? she’s just as bad if not worse.
I kept my head down and worked to provide for my son, so that we could eventually disappear. That was until I met Dr. Mercer.
you led your son to the devil
It wasn’t until I came back from the store and witnessed something that shouldn’t have been happening. Instead of being shocked, embarrassed, and apologizing to me and Elijah, he shrugged it off and left. I cried to Lucia and told her what happened and really thought she cared. She acted more upset than I was, so I thought she was on the right side of things. That was until they came over a week later, and she told me that having all that we were provided with came with a price.
SMFH so pretty much everybody failed this fucking kid…
Hearing my son’s screams for me and I could do nothing broke me. I was shoved into the garage and had to allow things to happen. It got to the point that I started to get high. I needed something to carve a hole in my memory. That was how I met Leon and fell for him. It was never love with Leon, just someone that provided an escape for me.
as if i didn’t hate this bitch any more
I went from being so broken when Dr. Mercer visited, to giving Elijah some liquor to help calm him and take his mind off our reality.
i don’t think i’ve hated a book character more than thea because WHAT THE FUCK?!?
Now, I didn’t have my son to hand over to them, and I knew my days were numbered if I didn’t run. I ran to the only place I knew they wouldn’t find me. Home.
don’t get too comfortable
Recommendation: Listen to When Will I See You Smile Again? By Bell Biv DeVoe
The words never got to come out my mouth because he snatched me up and pulled me back toward the shower. Turning the shower on, he grabbed the nozzle that was hooked up to the main showerhead, and ran it over my face, as he held me backwards, waterboarding me.
she had to endure all of his after having a good time seeing her friend again smh
Ever since that day, I never showered with the shower water running over me. I would step in, stand all the way to the back and extend my hand, and wash up in the back of the shower. Each time I needed to rinse, I would quickly jump underneath with my neck extended all the way back, while my heart sped up.
oh man
She fixed the towel that was sliding down my shoulders. “We don’t want to stress my baby girl out… so how about we wash up at the sink like good ol hoes?”
🤣 i love alaia bro!
“I want my money, nigga… go on and get your nap in, but I need my bread, and I only want it from your hands, Q.”
he so aggy 🤣
I’m gonna look at his scans and paperwork and make sure shit is right… they don’t call me Dr. Delgato for nothing, feel me?”
LMAOOO ANOTHER JOB CAPP?!
“B, just because I’m a dentist doesn’t mean that I’m not skilled in any of this… Hassan ain’t the only doctor around this bitch.”
he’s a little touched LMAOOOO
Recommendation: Listen to Who We Be by DMX
Papa put out the word that King Inferno had passed. As much as I didn’t like to even think or say the words, I understood why he did it. If they knew he was alive, they wouldn’t stop until he was dead. They would become relaxed if they knew that he was gone and the IG’s were mourning.
I knew I wanted to learn how to ride, but I wasn’t ready for it. Until I decided that I wanted to ride, Capri was the head of the Goddesses. Like the Gods ran for the king, the Goddesses did the same for the Queen.
i can’t wait until she starts riding those bikes
It was so refreshing seeing Capella and Aimee have that healthiness in their marriage again. Each time I was around them, I could see the work was being done and they were figuring it out as all married couples did. They were young and would continue to stumble in marriage. Long as they had the guidance and chose each other, I knew they would be good.
i missed my babies
Salah came walking in the middle of the street, while everyone looked on. “They came for one of our own… we all co-exist respectfully, never stepping on each other’s toes. We have our own families, but we’re extended family and ride for everybody. King has been there for every one of us… never asking questions, always riding. Quameer, always with his follow up, never questioning shit. Time for us to do the same shit… Blair… Queen Inferno is to remain safe.” He looked over at me.
them coming together for her and quasim 🥹
We were married to brothers, and both men had saved us in a way. Meer was her entire world like Quasim was for me, and we both held them above anyone. If Ellis never jumped in front of him, we would have been attending Meer’s funeral instead. It was a reality that either of us wanted to think or talk about. It remained in the back of our heads, and the constant ache in our chests that we couldn’t stop.
i know that ellis’s death is gonna stick with simmy for awhile
Bermuda was still missing, and as far as I knew, she often went missing when she was undercover. She mentioned looking for that girl when I pulled up on her and Sim’s dinner, so I prayed that she was alright.
bermuda KSJDKSSJ she’s worse than menace
Recommendation: Tell Me If You Still Care by The S.O.S Band
My heart hadn’t felt that way in a long time, and for Blair, it got all wild and crazy. Long before she became Anjo, my heart had told me she was the one. I knew she was special. I had always known she was special since the first time I met her in that kitchen. When I walked her to the car to get her bags, I remember her hand grazed against mine and I damn near melted. This petite woman with a smile that could warm the coldest nigga, and a past that I knew would eventually break my heart, was right in front of me and had me feeling like putty.
“Look at me, Anjo.” I held her face up, and she stared into my eyes. “I’m so sorry… I didn’t know, and I feel fucking horrible for doing that to you. I want you to know that I would never do anything to intentionally trigger you, baby… okay?” “I know, Simmy.” I kissed around her face, then pulled her closer to me. “You never have to shower alone… I’ll always be near… ight?” She sighed. “It’s not realistic.” “Anything is realistic when it comes to me being with you, Anjo. I’ll make the impossible, fucking possible for you. You never have to worry how because I’m gonna always get the job done,

yeah we can never say he doesn’t feel the same anymore
Do you know how comfortable and safe a man had to make you feel for you to completely let go? I couldn’t tell you what something cost, or what gas my car or bikes took because Meer handled it all. I never saw the hospital bill after having Rayce, because it was handled. Everything in my life was handled because that man put me in this place I had never been before. Fuck soft girl era. He put me in my secure girl era. A place where I felt safe, seen, and secured.
OKAY 👏🏽
