As I walk around the barely decorated venue, I begin to get irritated at the fact that everyone is moving so damn slow. They're acting like this reception is tomorrow and it's hours away. Fours hours away to be exact.

"Y'all please pick up the pace! They're paying us good money to have this prefect." I say as I struggle to catch my breath.

My employees nod their heads and continue to move quicker than before as I start putting flower arrangements on the table and instruct the boys on where to string the lights. The more I move around to do stuff, the more dizzy I become, but I fight through it.

Picking up the plates, I let the girls help me place them onto the table then shine the drinking glasses. Hours later, we're finally finished with everything and I quickly make my way outside because I'm feeling terrible.

"Are you okay? Do you need me to walk you to your car?" Michael asks me

"Are you okay? Do you need me to walk you to your car?" Michael asks me.

Pulling my water from my bag, I take a big gulp and put it away.

"I'll be okay and no, I can make it." I say as I start walking back to my car, hating that I parked so far away in that damn dark ass parking garage.

As I'm walking, I start to get dizzy again and feel like I have to throw up so I stop for a minute then release the contents of my stomach onto the ground. Wiping my mouth, I continue walking until I feel a presence behind me. Turning around quickly, I scope out the dim lit area behind me as I finally make it to the garage. Not seeing anyone, I continue walking until I reach my car then pull out my keys.

Using my key fob to unlock the door, I try to get inside, but I'm quickly pressed against my car door; my stomach being squished.

"PLEASE STOP! You're hurting me! Whoever you are, I don't have any money!" I sob, trying to fight back, but whoever it is, is too strong.

"Since Kimora won't let me see my kid, I had to find another way. I bet you thought I wouldn't find y'all hoes. Meet me with my child at Lorenzi Park in 30 minutes and don't mention a word to anyone or I'll kill you and that baby." The familiar voice says before bashing my head into the window, making blood run down the side of my forehead.
