Chapter 130: Don’t call me

MIA

"Do I need to remind you that I am not one of your women. I am here because....."

"Because you think this is the last place Big Kai would come looking for you, huh?" he retorted.

I let out a scoff of disbelief.

He smirked.

I shook my head. "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

He shrugged. "Do what?"

"You lied about the event being a charity event and you knew Big Kai would be there too."

"Well, um..." He paused, putting his hand in his pockets. "It is an All-Hood event."

I scoffed again in disbelief.

"He's kinda like the king of Bricktown which is one of the leading hoods. So yeah. Of course, he would be there. What do you expect?"

I furrowed my brows.

"What do you mean what do I expect? You told me it was a charity event!"

"I did?"

I glared at him.

"Oh, I did. Oh well." he shrugged. "I just wanted to get under Big Kai's skin a little. It's been a while you, know."

I shook my head in disbelief.

"You are unbelievable. You have no right to use me as bait for your freaking fun, Marcel. How dare you?"

"Relax, shawty."

I clenched my purse.

"It is not a big deal. I got under his skin and he threw a fist. I enjoyed every bit of it. Look at the bright side, I didn't kill him because of you." He said, winking.

"Don't you dare call me that."

He raised his brows.

"What? Shawty?"

I gritted my teeth.

"Come on, now. It is just a general name we call our bitches. Any nigga can call you that. You don't own the name, sweetie."

"I don't care. Call your women that not me. And for the record, you didn't kill Big Kai because of me."

He raised his brows.

"I stopped Big Kai from killing your sorry ass," I said, making his smile fall.

"You are just his rival. Don't think you can kill someone as deadly as Big Kai. You hear me?"

He didn't respond but scowled at me.

"My sister and I will be leaving this place first thing tomorrow morning. Thanks for your hospitality." I walked up the remaining stairs, heading towards the door.

"Big Kai can't kill this nigga, bitch.  Stop the fucking daydream." I heard him say as I pushed the door open, ignoring him.

Not long later, I got to the guest where I stay with Vicky. Walking in, I found Vicky sound asleep on the bed. I closed the door quietly and rested my back against it.

The look on Big Kai's eyes filled my head and stung my heart.

"I said let go of me, Big Kai. You don't freaking own me!"

I closed my eyes as tears rolled down my face.

"Shawty....."

"I don't want to ever see you again. Stay the hell away from me!"

I let out a sob but covered my mouth with my palm as I slid down to the floor.

I sobbed silently, recalling Mrs Kincaid in the pool of her blood.

It was disheartening.

Imani is beyond evil.

It hurts to be this far from Big Kai.

I was so careless that I didn't watch my back closely. She had everything all planned out.

The maid who lied about Coco needing my help in the kitchen, Big Kai sent to the hood, Coco, Caleb, and Jay Jay away.

God, Jay Jay.

I miss him so much.

I miss both of them.

I miss Coco too.

It hurts badly.

Now I have to leave here. I have a feeling Big Kai is not going to let this slide.

He might come here. Maybe right now or at dawn, I don't know.

I looked at Vicky.

She is sound asleep.

I should pack our stuff quietly. We don't have much. Just a few clothes I got thanks to Brandy.

She has been nice to me for the past weeks. Mainly because I was at the right place at the right time.

Glen, her son, who happens to be Vicky's new friend, almost died trying to reach his inhaler on the dining table.

He was alone back then. No maids or his parents around. I was out of the room because I had to get something for Vicky.

I know I spoiled her in Big Kai's place with snacks and all.

I found Glen and hurried towards him. I picked up his inhaler and helped him with it.

I learned that from my time at Steel Mall.

Mary was asthmatic. I was always there to help her.

Glen told his mother how I helped and since then, we have become like sudden friends.

In her words, those who do good to others deserve good deeds to be done to them too.

She bought clothes for Vicky and a few for me.

She reminds me of Coco.

I let out a sigh as I hugged my knees.

I should pack.

I can't stay here anymore.

NEXT DAY.......

"Are we going back to Jay Jay and uncle's place?"

I didn't respond but closed the door. I picked up our bag and held Vicky's hand.

"Mia?"

"Yeah?" I looked at her as we walked.

"Are you mad at me?" she asked, making her usual guilty face.

I stopped in my tracks. "No, no. Why would you ask that?"

"You look upset."

I moved a strand of my hair behind my ear.

"I am not upset, okay. I am just tired. I didn't sleep much last night." I said, resuming our walk.

"Was the party good?" she asked.

I nodded. "Mm hmm."

"So are we going to see Jay Jay and uncle? I really missed them."

My heart ached but I forced a smile.

"Me too."

She jumped happily as we walked.

I have no idea where to go from here. I guess I will have to think about where to go on the road.

It is almost nine AM and no sign of Big Kai yet.

A part of me is relieved. I have more time to leave.

Another part of me is unhappy.

I told him to stay away from me and he let me go that easily?

He accepted it that easily.

He is not fighting to get me back.

Is that how much he loves me?

What happened to 'I am his'?

He should be disturbing this mansion.

This place shouldn't be peaceful. Why would he let me go that easily?

Is he okay with me being in his rival's place? I don't get it.

God, I am beginning to think weirdly.

I heard clicking utensils as I was about to walk past the dining room.

I guess Marcel and his family are having dinner.

Good.

I will just walk past and no one will.....

"Mia?" Brandy's familiar voice called, stopping me in my tracks.

I looked in the direction. I found Marcel seated in his head seat, sipping his wine and staring at me.

Signing, I walked into the room.

I think they deserve to know that I am leaving. They sheltered us for the last weeks.

Brandy is standing next to Marcel with a bottle in her hand, staring at me with concern while Glen, Nicole, and Shelly are seated in their seats, eating while staring at me.

They are both antisocial. More like they hate the fact that I am here.

"What's up, Mia? Where are you going with your things?" Brandy asked with concern still dancing on her face.

"We are leaving," I said.

She furrowed her brows. "Leaving?"

I nodded.

"Did you know about this, Marcel?" Brandy asked.

Marcel didn't respond but sipped his drink.

"Finally, he decided to kick her out," Nicole spoke up.

"What the fuck are you kicking her out for?" Brandy asked, placing her hand on her hip.

"Hush your mouth, Brandy." Shelly chipped it. "It's his house. He can do whatever he wants, okay?"

"Mm hmm, like kick you and your lie in the name of his baby outta this motherfucking building," Brandy said.

"What the fuck did you just call ma baby?"

"You heard me, bubu kitty."

"Oh no she did not," Shelly said, dropping her cutlery.

"Ignore her, Shell." Nicole chipped in. "You know Brandy. Acting like she is Marcel's wife when we all know she is just one of us. His baby effin mama."

Brandy chuckled. "Bitch, you tired. Eat and gain some weight before you crack."

Nicole and Shelly gasped.

"You see what you've caused, Mia?" Marcel asked, making me furrow my brows.

"You just walk in here and made this table a fucking sweet drama, like damn, girl!" He laughed, making everyone stare at him.

I rolled my eyes, shaking my head.

Never take Marcel seriously.

"I was getting bored and shit but you are a walking vibe. Come join us. Breakfast is delicious as fuck." He offered.

"We will pass. We are leaving as I told you. Thank you for the past......"

BANG!

We ducked instantly as my heart dropped. That shot felt like a bomb from outside the house. I grabbed Vicky closer protectively.

"What was that?" I heard Brandy asked.

Next.....

BANG!

The women screamed, babies cried as I covered Vicky's ears.

BANG!!

BANG!!!

"MARCEL!"

I froze, raising my head and I locked eyes with Marcel.

"GET YO ASS OUT HERE, MOTHERFUCKER!"

Marcel smirked.

God, Big Kai.

My heart fluttered.

He is here.....
