Four Letter Word (Completed)

-40-

Casanova wasn't one of the people documented to be harmed that night. Either he came out untouched or he didn't get medical help or report it. I shake my head as they talk about the two victims. Luckily, nobody died even though no one should've been hurt unless it was Casanova. I have a bone to pick with Gunz and I know when Apollo finds out it was him, he'll have a bone to pick with me.

I kick my feet up on the table changing the channel. Don't get me wrong, I like being able to say I'm a businessman... Having legit money I can put in the bank and pay taxes with is much better than having to have a complete other business just to clean illegal money, but the shit is boring. Sitting in an office completing duties off of a checklist is very anticlimactic.

Now I'm not saying I rather be some where cutting up drugs, on a corner, or getting shot at. I like being hands on with my businesses, but I also can't wait for the day my shit is so big I don't have to come check on it if I don't want to because I have employees for that.

Right now the focus is Saweetie putting out this EP then the rest of my artists doing the same, so they can go on tour together. As far as my clothing line it's doing better than I could've expected. Hood Rich Attire was sold out online and has added more streetwear clothing stores to the list of sellers. Lindo is more of a slow seller since it's 'designer' and more expensive, but it's doing well especially in Barney's. My next goal is to get it in stores like Nordstrom, Saks, and Neiman Marcus. Right now I'm just working on creating the next collection.

Concerning the drugs, Mrs. Ambani wasn't happy about the deal we made with Casanova. It's one more person we have to share money with. In my eyes, it's one more person to sell the drugs. It's not an ideal situation, but it's less shit for us to have to move. But after Gunz did that shooting at the club the other day Casanova didn't show up to pick his shipment up. He didn't send anyone to do it for him either. I don't know if he's shook or actually somewhere dead.

I doubt he's dead though...

Mrs. Ambani's only concern was feeding her children. As long as the drugs were sold and she got her cut she doesn't care who does it. It was a different tune from the one she sang at first when we made the deal. At first she only wanted the De Carlo organization touching her product. It's more work for us, but less stressful. The only other crew we're bringing in on this is Dayanara's. She's going to help us sell down south in Florida and Georgia.

Once I get everything in order, which I hope is soon, I want to start my next business venture. I already had a couple ideas in mind that I wanted to bring Glock in on, so I can help him find something to do post-drug dealing.

I grab my phone unlocking it then going to Instagram. After beginning to work with Desdemona my social media platform has probably tripled in followers. I went from 500k followers to 1.5 million in a matter of months. If I had to tell someone else I would say that $100,000 I spent to be her client in the first place was well worth it. Aside from the relationship we built, she's beneficial to have on your team. I've most definitely made that money back three times over. When you're able to pay your rent with the money you make on Instagram through sponsorships, promotions, and ads that's some next level shit.

I've seen people say they don't exactly know what Desdemona does. It's simple, she makes people money. Some might say she just throws fancy events, is a socialite, or a clout connoisseur as if it's not a real job or it's easy to do, but it's not. Not everybody can look at the numbers from followers, viewers, and likes to determine how to make a profit that doesn't stop if social media dies one day.

Shit, just the other day we went viral because of the wedding pictures. Everybody was reposting our pictures simply based on liking our outfits; that I picked, might I add. Glock and Athena went viral as well for their reception entrance video, which is crazy because Glock doesn't even have social media. Both him and Apollo don't believe in it. Not when you're involved in illegal activities. The real street dudes aren't posting their drugs and guns online.
