Chapter 129 Sweet Paths

Chapter 129 Sweet Paths
MIA

Marcel held my hand as I took in the well-decorated hall. From the luxurious-looking ceiling decorations to all the walls, beautiful people dressed in expensive attire. 

And I am not the only white person here. I can see a few. 

This charity event must be.....

"Big Kai, my man!" Marcel squealed, making me freeze. 

I looked in a direction and there he was. 

Big Kai. 

Staring at me. 

My heart dropped and began racing. 

He is staring at me with a mixture of surprise and anger. 

I swallowed as my weak legs urged me to run. 

But Marcel began moving us towards his direction as his men followed us behind. 

No, no. 

I attempted to release my hand from Marcel's hold but he tightened his grip on my hand, making me look at him. 

He is smirking at Big Kai.

What is his problem?! 

Why is he doing this?! 

Did he know Big Kai would be here? 

Is this even a freaking charity event as he told me?! 

I realized we are now close to Big Kai, making my heart race faster as I sensed his burning gaze on me. 

"Sup, fellow OG?" Marcel said, chuckling. 

I looked at Big Kai. 

He is scowling at me. 

I lowered my gaze instantly, still struggling to release my hand from Marcel's grip. 

God, this is hopeless. 

Big Kai has seen me. 

I can still feel his burning gaze. 

I can tell he feels like I have betrayed him seeing me with his rival. 

Holding hands! 

Why didn't I think Big Kai would be here?! 

Why?! 

I shouldn't have come! I should have stayed with Vicky instead. 

"Ma brother from another mother, what's up?" 

I looked at Big Kai again. He looks good in his attire. 

As always. 

I can tell he is still grieving his mother's death. 

My heart tightened as I lowered my gaze, recalling that ugly day in the kitchen. 

The blood. Her attempt to tell me what happened. 

Everything! 

"Isn't this interesting, Kai?" Imani's voice took me over, making me look at her. 

She is standing next to Big Kai. 

I guess I was too invested in Big Kai and his thoughts about seeing me with Marcel that I didn't notice her presence.

This evil heartless woman. 

"The bitch you have been looking for so tirelessly has been with Marcel all this time," she said, staring at me mockingly. 

I moved my eyes to Big Kai. 

He is still scowling at me. 

My heart clenched as I squeezed the side of my dress while lowering my gaze. 

"Ooh, you've been looking for her?" Marcel asked. 

Stop talking. 

"Geez, I didn't know, man. Mia here is ma guest." 

"You mean soon-to-be fourth baby mama?" Imani asked, making me look at her with furrowed brows as Marcel laughed. 

She raised her brows. 

I scoffed, shaking my head in disbelief. 

"What? Are you going to deny that fucking fact? That you are fucking Marcel?" 

I attempted to speak but Marcel held me back. 

"Don't get ahead of yourself, Imani. I got enough kids already." Marcel said. 

Imani hummed as I glared at her. 

"Maybe," Marcel continued. "I could just keep her for fun and not for babies, you know." 

What? 

He began laughing. 

Next....

Big Kai threw him a hard punch on the mouth. 

"Kai!" Imani called out as Marcel groaned and fell back, releasing me in the process. 

Gasps filled the room instantly.

All attention fell on us. 

Some of Marcel's men held Marcel, preventing him from falling while some pointed their guns at Big Kai. 

Big Kai's men appeared, pointing their guns at Marcel and his men. 

My heart pounded violently as I imagined a blood bath between them. 

I looked between Big Kai and Marcel. Big Kai is glaring at Marcel. 

Marcel stood up straight and fixed his suit. He wiped the bleeding corner of his lips as he looked at Marcel. 

My heart begged to explode as I awaited Marcel's retaliation.

He smirked, easing a tiny part of my banging heart. 

For the past weeks I have known Marcel he is always playful. I hope he doesn't take this seriously. 

He started this. 

What does he mean by that rubbish he said? 

"You just signed your death wish tonight, motherfucker." Big Kai said, making me look at him. 

He is still glaring at Marcel. 

Marcel chuckled. 

I moved my eyes to him. 

"Oh yeah? We gonna see about that," he said, replaying his smile with a frown. 

He attempted to move towards Big Kai. 

My legs moved before my brain could command it. They quickly ran and stood in front of Marcel, stopping him in his tracks.

"That's enough," I ordered, void of where the courage came from. 

He raised his brows. 

"You are making a scene," I said, feeling people's eyes on us. 

He raised his hands playfully in surrender, chuckling afterward. 

"See, Kai. This white slut is fucking your rival." I heard Imani say. 

I closed my eyes, feeling anger building up but before I could turn to her, I got grabbed by my arm, my back hit his hard chest and a familiar scent hit my nose. 

The scent I have missed so much. 

I turned my head to him. My heart raced as I locked eyes with beautiful icy blue ones. 

"What the fuck is going on, shawty?" he snarled. 

My heart fluttered at the name. It should because I know he is angry. 

But I have missed everything about him. The way he calls me shawty. 

"What are you doing with this son of a bitch?" 

I couldn't speak. 

"Don't tell me it is what I am fucking thinking." 

I still couldn't speak. 

I can't find words. 

I wish he could see within me that all I want is to hug and kiss him right now. 

Make love as well. 

It's been barely a month and I miss him badly. 

"I am fucking talking to you, girl!" 

I closed my eyes and opened them, feeling tears coming. 

I opened my mouth to speak but a movement at the side took my attention. 

Imani just appeared to the side, staring at me daringly.

She raised a brow and smirked, daring me to speak.

I swallowed as I recalled her threat. She is capable of doing the greatest evil more than the devil himself. 

"Mia!" Big Kai took my attention. 

He is staring at me sternly, awaiting an answer. 

Next, the clicking of a gun made us freeze. 

We looked in the direction. 

Marcel was pointing his golden gun at Big Kai. 

"Let her go," Marcel ordered. 

Big Kai clenched his jaw. 

Marcel tilted his head to the side. 

"Didn't you hear me, big dawg?" 

I swallowed. "Marcel...." 

"Let her go!" 

Big Kai took out his gun and aimed it at Marcel. 

Oh, God. 

"You gonna die tonight, motherfucker." Big Kai threatened, clicking the top side of his gun. 

"Let me go," I said, making Big Kai look at me. 

My heart tightened instantly. 

"What?" 

I attempted to release myself from his hold but he held me tighter. 

"The fuck you think you're doing, girl?" 

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

His face twitched. 

My heart ached severely. 

God, I didn't mean to yell at you. 

But I prefer.....I prefer you take in my yelling than the pictures of me next to your mother with a knife. 

He kept staring at me. 

I held his gaze too but I felt his tight grip loosening. 

I released myself from his hold but that didn't take his eyes off me. 

I forced my eyes away but....

"Shawty....." 

"I don't want to ever see you again!" I snapped. 

He furrowed his brows. 

"Stay the hell away from me, you hear me?!" 

His face twitched. 

My heart ached continuously. 

I moved my eyes to Imani. 

She scoffed, smirking. 

I gritted my teeth, moving my eyes around. 

Everyone's on me. 

I returned my eyes to Big Kai. 

He is still staring at me. 

God, I don't want to be here. 

I turned away, walked past Marcel, and headed towards the entrance. I ignored stares and mutters as I headed out of the hall. 

Tears found their way out of my eyes and I didn't stop them. 

I think I am going to cry my eyes out. 



MARCEL'S MANSION 

I opened the door before Marcel's guard could open it for me. I closed the door as I attempted to walk up the stairs. 

"Hey," I heard Marcel call. 

I walked up the stairs. 

"Girl, wait up." 

I kept walking. 

"I am talking to you." 

I stopped in my tracks, heaving a sigh as I looked at the sky momentarily. I sensed him walking up to me. 

"What's the matter with you?" he asked, standing next to me. 

I looked at him. 

"What's with the cute attitude, huh?" he asked, reaching for my hair. 

I moved his hand away. 

"Oh...." 

"Don't touch me." I snarled. 

He raised his brows.
