Book preview

Me and Majestic were sitting in the middle of a living room looking at this man who claimed to be our father. He was trying his hardest to get us to think that he wasn’t out to hurt us, but something told me better. He may not be here to hurt us physically, but he’d already killed me mentally. He walked around this house like a macho man with his bodyguards and kept us locked in the bedrooms he set up for both me and Majestic.

He would let us out if we had to eat. We both had private restrooms in our rooms, along with clothes and shit. It was like he had been planning this shit for the longest and was just waiting for the right time to snatch the both of us.

Why? I asked.

Why what? I already explained this to you. Your mother had me believing that you and your sister died in a car wreck and I just found out that you and Majestic were my daughters. I never set out to hurt either of you and that’s why I have a surprise for y’all, he said, snapping his fingers.

A door opened and two henchmen walked in with Seth and Erika by the arm. Erika looked like she had been crying all night and Seth already knew what was going to happen, so he wasn’t tripping about being here. You could see it all in his face. They sat them in two chairs that were placed on plastic, their hands were tied behind their backs and they both had tape over their mouths.

I don’t care about neither of them. I want to know how Genesis and Bakari are since you shot up their car to get me! Majestic yelled, jumping up.

Nodding his head, the man that was behind us grabbed her shoulder and made her sit back down while squeezing her. I could tell she was in pain, but she wasn’t trying to let him know that he was getting to her. My sister was about to break, and I had a feeling that after this, she was going to run right back to the drugs.

I’m the reason that you’re alive right now. Those niggas don’t give a fuck about either of you. If they did, why didn’t they didn’t kill me when they had the chance? he asked, and I couldn’t answer that question, so I just put my hand on Majestic’s leg to get her to calm down. We had to do whatever we could to get out of this situation.

It had been weeks since we left this house and I was so tired of being in here. The windows were boarded up inside to make it seem like it was an abandoned house, but the house was a mansion. They had an east wing and west wing, but we weren’t allowed in the west wing for nothing.

What do you want us to do to them? I asked.

Kill them. They hurt you Majestic, so kill them. Make them hurt as much as they made you hurt.

I’m not killing Erika. She’s like a sister to me, even if she is still mad at me for sleeping with her man. It’s not her fault that I did that shit or that she slapped me. I understand that, so I’m not killing her.

So kill Seth. He’s the reason y’all’s apartment was shot up. I didn’t authorize that. He did, on his own, to kill Bakari because he wanted you, he told Majestic.

She still didn’t budge, so I did. If it wasn’t for Seth, then we wouldn’t have had to move. If it wasn’t for him, Erika and my sister would still be friends. And if it wasn’t for him, we probably wouldn’t be in this situation in the first place. At this point, I was willing to take my anger out on anybody, and to show Greyson that I was willing to do anything to get out of this house.

Reaching my hand out, I waited for somebody to give me a gun, but nobody moved. Give her the gun, Greyson told them.

But Boss, what if she kills all of us as well? One of the men I’ve grown to know named Baxter asked.

Well, you’ll just have to trust me, huh? I asked, looking into his eyes.

That’s the first thing he told me when I thought he was coming into my bedroom to do something to me. He literally laid on top of me only to tell me that he was there to make sure Greyson stayed right in the head and that I had to trust him, even if I didn’t want to.

He shook his head before sitting the gun into my hand. Looking at it, I looked into Seth’s eyes and walked closer to him. Putting the gun to his head, I closed my eyes until I felt a hand on my shoulder. Open your eyes. Watch him suffer, Greyson said as if he was trying to turn us into killers.

If I kill him, will you let Erika go? We don’t want to hurt her.

I will for you, but she can’t leave the house, he said.

Icy, don’t do this. Majestic cried while shaking her head. Don’t let him get to you, she added.

It was too late. He broke me the same way he would do her eventually. She was fighting, but I was not fighting it. If he’s my father, then that means I’m not very different from him. I have to have some of him inside of me to even be willing to do something like this.

Looking down at Seth, he nodded his head, giving me the go ahead to do it.

POW!

The gun went off, and his brain matter and blood were all over Erika, me and Majestic’s face. Feeling myself get sick, I ran into the restroom that was inside of the office that he had. Leaning over the toilet, I threw up all the food I had on my stomach while crying. Sitting on the side it, I held myself and put my hand over my mouth to muffle my screams.

Killing Seth didn’t make me feel any better. He was a father and I took his life.

This is why I didn’t want you to have that gun. You don’t know what you’re doing to yourself. You may think that pleasing Greyson is going to get you out of this house, but it’s not. He’s going to make you kill until you don’t have a soul left, Baxter told me before leaning down and helping me up.

He picked me up and carried me out of the office and upstairs so that I could brush my teeth. I hated throwing up. It literally fucked with me so bad.

When we got into my bedroom, he sat me on the bed. Then I got up and went into the restroom, closing the door behind me. I leaned over the toilet again and threw up once more before standing up. After handling my personal hygiene for the second time today, I walked out and he was still in the room.

Change your clothes. I’ll be outside, he said and headed for the door, but I stopped him.

Can you help me? I asked, turning around.

He put his hand on my shoulders and untied the dress that I had on. When it dropped to the floor, we locked eyes, and he turned me around and picked me up. Kissing me on the lips, I moaned while sucking on his bottom lip. I didn’t know what the fuck was getting into me because I never did anything like this, but he was so sweet to me.

He put his hand right under my ass and grabbed it while moving his kisses from my lips to my neck and down my chest. When he got to my breast, he stuck one of them into his mouth and sucked on it. He stepped closer to the bed and laid me down. We gon’ get into trouble for this shit. He grimaced, but that didn’t stop him from moving down and placing kisses on my stomach.

Going lower, he started to kiss and suck on my thighs. Ooh, I moaned while putting my hands on the back of his head. The feeling of him blowing on my clit made my body shake. Spreading my legs even wider, he licked and sucked on my clit while sliding two of his fingers inside of me. Arching my back, I started to rotate my hips. The feeling of his fingers felt so good inside of me as well as his mouth on my clit sucking away. Fuck, yes.

He pulled back a lil bit and looked at my pussy, then into my eyes before going right back down and sucking on my pussy lips. He slid his whole tongue inside of me and I couldn’t help the moans that were escaping my mouth the whole time. Reaching up, he put his hand over my mouth and kept eating away like it was his last meal.

Feeling myself about to cum, I wrapped my legs around his head and started to grind my pussy against his mouth and tongue until I came all over his face. He pulled back and stood up. He unbuttoned his jeans and I stopped him.

Not yet.

So, you keep using me to get your nuts, but you won’t give me none.

I can’t, and you know that. I don’t want Greyson to know and he kills you. I don’t know what he’s capable of.

I’m not hearing that shit Icy, he said through gritted teeth.

I could tell he was mad, but he would be okay. Walking over to him, I reached down and grabbed his dick while kissing his neck. Do you want me? I asked.

You know I do, but I’m not going to keep waiting for you.

Nodding my head, I went down on my knees and unbuttoned his jeans, pulling his long dick out. I stroked it up and down until it got harder, then put my mouth on the head of it and slid it into my mouth. Sucking on it, he grabbed the back of my head and ran his fingers through my hair. Fuck, he groaned.

Mm, I moaned while deep throating his dick.

I hadn’t done this shit in so long that I forgot how much of a pro I am with it. Putting my hands on his waist, I held onto it while sucking and licking all over him.

I’m about to cum. Fuck, he groaned while gripping a handful of my hair and pumping his dick in and out of my mouth at a fast pace before his nut slid down my throat.

Now I know what y’all thinking; how could she do this to Genesis? He was trying to be with her and here she goes cheating on him. Well, I have a question for you. Where is Genesis right now? I haven’t heard anything about him being a problem for Greyson or anything. Plus, I never talked to him after that shit that happened with Latosha’s death.

Baxter helped me up and I went back into the restroom so that I could brush my teeth once again. I wasn’t about to walk around this bitch with dick on my breath, for Greyson to kill Baxter.

Once I was finished, I walked out and Baxter was standing by the door with Greyson, who was smiling. What? I asked.

You’re about to bring me Genesis and your sister is going to bring me Bakari.

I’m not putting him in harm’s way for you or nobody else.

You don’t have a choice. You either do it or I will kill Erika. He threatened, making me shake my head.

Looking at the clock on top of the door that read two o’clock, I was so ready for this day to be over. At least he let us get enough sleep and we didn’t have to work. I didn’t have to go to work and deal with people fucking with me about that shit.

What do you want me to do? I’ll do it, but you have to let Erika leave.

You’re not in no place to make demands baby girl. Do what I want, and she’ll live to see another day. Disobey me and I will kill her.

Nodding my head, I walked out of the bedroom behind him and Baxter. I couldn’t understand why he was working for Greyson. He always told me that he wasn’t scared of him or that Greyson didn’t have anything on him. So, I couldn’t for the life of me piece together why he would be working for a man that would kidnap his own children. He always knew that me and Majestic were his children, so I didn’t understand why he waited this long to come for us.

Why would he use us to get at Genesis and Bakari? Everybody knew how my sister felt about Bakari. And I still liked Genesis, I just wasn’t trying to be with him anymore.

When we got back downstairs, Majestic was still sitting in the same place, but she was crying. What did you do to her? I asked Greyson.

Nothing. I told you I won’t hurt y’all and I meant that.

But I got hit in the back of my head when I got kidnapped.
