"Lamar," Saige cried while running towards me.
The door burst open and I grabbed Saige and hugged her to protect her small body. She hugs me tightly and I raised my gun.
Two grown men along with Azzura's brother barged into the room with guns and no face masks.
Dem brave eh
"Pussy way mi sista?" Loyal asked with rage and hatred in his voice.
My eyes went behind him as I saw one of his man shot down my guard. His lifeless body fell to the ground and our surroundings went silent.
Bomboclatt bro wah mi ago tell eh dwag oman.
My eyes went back to Loyal and he looked at Saige and sighed. He let out a laughed shortly before placing his gun down.
His pulled on his twists before groaning.
"Mi no have a heart so let go the yute," he said
The fuck, him think mi a use Saige as shield?
"No," Saige said and I covered her face.
"Close your eyes princess," I whispered into her ear and she hugged me tightly.
"Azzura!" he shouted and Saige jumped in fright.
"Uh sista no deh yah," I said and he looked at me.
"Fass har car outta door,"
"Some do har car so she gone wid mine," I said and he hissed.
"Find mi sista," he said to the men standing at his side.
I pointed my gun at the man who was about to move to the staircase and Loyal pointed his gun at me.
"No test mi," he warned and I looked at the man.

"Mi neva gi uno no invitation fi cum ina mi house so try tek uh bomboclatt back through eh door before—"
"Before wah rasta boy?" Loyal asked.

I placed Saige down and she hugged my leg as Loyal and his men placed their guns behind their backs so she wouldn't see the gun.
"Gwaan go find Elijah," I said
"No," she said while shaking her head with closed eyes.
"Saige," I said and she looked at me as tears ran down her red cheeks.
"Nuhn nah do uh gwaan," I said and she released me.
She looked at Loyal before running to him.
"Saige no," I said and she hugged his legs.
Wapm tuh deh likkle mad oman yah
"Please don't kill my brother sir. You no have no sista?" she said and he looked down at her.
"Nobody nah kill nobody baby," he said before picking her up.
My fist clenched and his men kept their eyes on me.
I stepped forward and Loyal pointed his gun at me by holding the gun behind her back.
"As long as everybody behave them self," he said before looking at me.
He wiped her tears and she looked at me. He turned the gun so she couldn't see it and she sniffed.
"You're pretty, pretty girls shouldn't cry," he said and she looked at him.
"You made me cry with your guns," she said
"I'm sorry," he said before placing her down.
He skillfully moves the gun around her and to his back. He tucked away the gun before holding her hands.
Fih say eh pussy ole just wake up why him neva tan ina rh restaurant
He looked at his men and they too placed their guns away. He looked at Saige and she sniffs.
"You know Azzura?" he asked and she looked at me.
"Yes,"
"Go tell har, har bredda a call her fimi please," he said and she nod.
She left the room and I looked at him.
"Whatever you have gainst mi pa. Keep mi bloodclat sista outta it," he said and I folded my arms.
I looked up at the camera and his eyes went to it.
"You tell her?"
"Tell wah?"
"Tell har say uh shot mi," he said and my eyes went stone cold.
The fuck do deh likkle yute yah
"Uh know damn well a neva—"
"Who den? Uh S.O.B. dem. If a uh bark orders then a uh," he said and I didn't say anything.
He shook his head and before hissed
"Try count uh sukud bredda days caz dis nah end yah and tell Ackeem say. Gio say time cum and fuck eh contract," he said
I placed my gun away and he looked at the staircase.
"Come outta mi bloodclat yaad," I said and he looked at me.
"Count you days rasta mouse, uno no live long memba dhat bloodclat," he said before walking out.
I hissed and slammed the door once they were out. I went back into the house and search for Elijah.
"Elijah?"
"Saige?"
Soon I heard there footsteps, a sigh left my lips and I stooped down. They ran into my arms and I hugged them.
"It's okay," I said and they hugged me tightly.
"I didn't find Azzura,"
"That's okay princess," I said while pulling away.
"Uno good?"
They nod and I checked they're bodies for bruises their hearts couldn't show.
"Mi ago bring uno home to mommy," I said and they made even sadder face.
"Gwaan go pack you bag dem," I said and they looked at each other.
"Them gone," I said and they held each other's hands.
I stood up and head to my room. I opened the closet and Azzura walked out. My eyes went to the screen in the room and it was turned off.
She see or—
I walked straight pass him and he grabbed my arm.
"Let me go,"
"Wait,"
"Wait pan wah?" I asked while trying to retrieve my arm to my side.
"I didn't—"
I slapped him and his head turns to the side because of the force.
"You're an awful person and I hope your heart—" I stopped myself from saying the latter and he looked at me.
"Say it,"
I shook my head and tried pulling away.
"Let me go," I said and he pulled me into him
"Say it Azzura," he demanded.
His eyes were pleading for my hurtful words. My eyes filled with tears as I shook my head.
"I don't want to,"
"Yes you do. Say it,"
"No," I said and he looked down into my eyes.
"Mi no name Alex and a use me did a use you," he said and I looked away as my heart clenched tightly.
He grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him.
"You no hear way mi say?"
"I did,"
"So cuss mi nuh," he said and I shook my head.
"I just want to go home," I said and he sighed.
He pulled me into his chest and a tear rolled down my cheek.
Him just did a use mhi?
Him shoot Loyal
"I'm sorry baby," he said and I lifted my hand to wipe my tears.
His words were really sinking into me
I pulled away and he looked up at me.
"Was it all a lie?"
"Azzura—"
"Was it?"
"No," he said but I didn't believe him.
"You shot my brother though. You've heard me talk about how much he means to me. And you shot him. When he was in the hospital...you...you acted like you care. I was in pain...Oh my god Alex, uh just pretend—" my tone dropped and I covered my face.
"A neva mi—"
"But he said you gave the order right," I said and he kept silent.
I removed my hand from my face and looked at him.
"You gave the order," I said and he sat on the bed.
Why am I even surprised when I already hurried Loyal's words.
Maybe because I wished it was a lie
"I did," he confessed.
"Why?"
"Out of revenge but I know now that, that's not what I want baby," he said while trying to take my hand.
"Don't touch me," I said and he withdrew his hands.
"Baby—"
"Did you even love me?"
"I did,"
"No you didn't," I said and he looked at his gun. He placed his behind him and his waistband.
"I did baby, you became the reason I wanted to end this revenge plan against your father. I was willing to forget what he did and love you,"
"What revenge? What did my father do to you," I asked and he got up.
"Ask him,"
"I'm asking you," I said
"Ask them caz either way you affi deh pan fih dem side,"
"I'm not on any one's side but the truth," I said.
"Ask you step mada, if she did know wah Lamar,"
How Riley come ina dis?
I raised a brow and he door swag open. Lamar ran in with a gun in his hand and he looked at Lucky.
"A wah gwaan?"
"Lamar?" I said and he looked at me.
He pointed his gun at me and Lucky pushed me behind him.
"Put dung eh fucking gun Dot Dot," Lucky said and my eyes went to Lucky's gun.
In a quick second, I removed the gun and stepped back. He turned around and I pointed at gun at him.
"Yah try protect eh gyal and eh gyal draw uh gun pan uh," Lamar said while shaking his head.
"Lamar—"
"Ano so mi name gyal. You cah dun call mi suh," he said and my eyes widened.
"Put dung eh gun Dot Dot," Lucky ordered.
Dot Dot?
"Uh no see eh gyal tek uh gun. A mi uh wah she shot?,"
Lucky look at me and I placed my finger on the trigger before pointing the gun at Lamar.
"Is he your brother?" I asked Lamar
"Surprise," he said and I looked at Lucky.
My phone start ringing and I removed it from my pocket while looking at Lamar.
I answered the phone and pressed it to my ear.
"Way uh deh?"
"Lucky," Elijah came into the room and we placed our guns down.
Saige came in right after and I moved pass Lucky.
"We're ready," Saige said and I hurried passed them.
"Azzura," my father's voice came the phone speaker and I hung up.

The moment I stepped through the door dad got up.
"Azz—"
"Hey beautiful," Riley said and I spoke.
"Who's Lamar to you mom?" I asked and Dad looked at Loyal.
"What do you mean baby?" she asked
"I have a bracelet from when I was younger, the name on it says Lamar and when I asked you about when I was younger, you said he was your angel," I said and he rubbed her tummy while looking away.
"Azzura we're leaving Jamaica,"
My eyes went to dad and he folded his arms.
"What?"
"You're leaving Jamaica,"
"Why?"
"Because it not safe,"
"No dad I'm not leaving Jamaica because I am safe," I said and he shook his head.
"Your flights leaves tonight,"
"Mom," I said and she looked up.
She seems to have falling into a daze. I even forgot I had asked her a question.
I walked over to her and kneel down.
"Was he your son?"
"Yes," she said
"Babes," dad said and she looked at him.
"Gio," she said and he sat down.
"Mom talk to me," I said
"Lamar was my son,"
"Was? What happened to him?" I asked and she looked at me.
"I did something bad my love," she said and I held her hand.
"What did you do?" I asked and dad spoke.
"That's enough. Loyal uno go pack," Gio ordered and I ignored him.
"Tell me mommy," I said and she looked at our hands.
"I can't," she said
"Please mom, I want to- I need to know," I said and she shook her head.
"Fawud Azurra,"
"I said I'm not going," I said while standing.
"It's not a choice," Loyal said
"I'm at the age when I get to decide for myself and I've decided that I don't want to be apart of a family that distances me from everything. Who's Lamar? You can't tell me," I said
"Lamar did important to mommy but that went away when he shot me to hurt her," Loyal said and I raised a brow.
Lucky?
"It wasn't him, I don't believe that it is him," I said
"You a fucking idiot," Loyal asked and mom called his name in a warning tone.
"Eh man shot mi Azzura. Mi nearly fucking dead and uh wah cum pick him ova uh bredda?"
"I'm not—"
"A dhat uh a do," he said and I closed my mouth.
We heard footsteps and Krishan walked in.
"Do you know?"
"Know what?"
"Who Lamar is?" I said and he looked at our parents.
"I—um—they didn't tell me everything but—"
"That's enough," Dad said and I looked at him.
"Okay," I said before turning around.
"Where are you going?"
Without responding I hurried through the door and left.
