Chyna ross p.o.v
As i sat down on my bed, Alex began calling me
"Yes?" I asked
"I did what you fucking asked, i convinced milo that diamond is a goldigger, please leave me alone" she pleaded
"Im a woman of my word, i hope your not lying to me because i can always break my promise when i need to" i replied
I was satisfied, this ensured that there was no harm in milos way.
It was the best for him
"Whatever, leave my dad and Diamond out of this" she said
"Yeah, its just a shame diamonds going to soon find out you have been working for me" i laughed
"Rot in hell" she replied and hung up.
Phase one of ruining diamond blacksmiths life!

"Milo said it was someone close to me david! Ofcourse im not going to let it go... i just wonder who it could be" i said
David thought i was overthinking this. But i wasnt. My friendship with milo was over all because of some stupid rumor.
It felt like i was in high school all over again
Ignore it diamond, ignore it diamond
Control the anger, control the anger
I kept repeating these words in my mind to make myself feel relaxed

Davids p.o.v
My main priority at this moment was making sure cassie was okay, i couldnt help feeling a little satisfaction hearing about this bond between diamond and milo being over.
I just didnt understand why diamond was so affected by it
"Whatever, we need to take care of cassie right now. This can be sorted out later" i told her.
She rolled her eyes and left the room
"David im so sorry about what happend" kam said entering the room
"Its cool i should of told yall i was working with the feds" i said to him
"By the way the rest are staying at the hotel down the road for the night.. we wanna leave the house to yall" kam said
"I hope you all there with security! And if you need anything call me" i said
Even tho kam didnt mean to shoot cassie, i coudnt hold a grudge against him.. he was family

Alex's p.o.v
I took a deep breath in, i just landed back to Harlem after my flight in Atlanta just to ruin the life of my bestfriend.
I just wanted to kill myself at this moment, diamond picked me up at my lowest. And i did this to her?
But her life and my dads life was on the line, i just hope saving their lives was worth the break of mine and diamonds friendship
Lord. Just let the earth swollow me

Diamonds p.o.v
1:35pm
I woke up, a fresh day.
Heck no... fresh day my ass! I couldnt stay in seattle a day longer. It was awakening the beast in me and wrecking my final nerve.
I hopped in the shower hoping my bad mood wouldnt travel with me for the rest of the day.
Refreshing cold water ran down my body making me feel as if i was in a different universe.
But as soon as my eyes closed there was images.. blood all over the floor.
Cassies body was in my arms, she was bleeding non-stop. And i kept hearing gunshots.
My back hit the shower wall and i slowly slid down to the floor covering my ears.
I think it was the trauma, i still wasnt used to this.
I needed to get out and see if cassie was recovering.
2:30pm
"Hi warrior" i said as i brought a meal to cassies bed
"If being shot means breakfast in bed ill gladly do it over and over again" she smiled
"Shut up" i laughed
"Weres david?" She asked
"Now that you mention it i havent seen him all morning.. i wonder what his up to!" I replied
"Well you wont anymore because im right here" his deep voice said as he entered the room
"Were you been?"
"I just got some information on jericho and his alliances, those boodle diamond mafia are usually known as diamantes negros and i realised, my dad knew them a long time ago, and i think i know were some files about them are kept" he said
"Diamantes, is spanish for Diamond! Diamond you got a gang named after you!" Cassie laughed.
But i didnt, that was beyond coincidental, my dead dad showed up in my dreams telling me to go to atlanta
To find a gang, and now that im thinking about it. The eastern black vipers made a deal with this mafia called diamantes negros who are a gang originally located in atlanta.
it all adds up.
"Diamond you should come with me to find these files" david said
"I thought you would never ask" i replied.
"Cassie im gonna make sure theres security staying here with you, REST?! okay" david said
"Pleasee, get out. Yall giving me a headache" she said
I hugged her and we left
"So were are these files?" I asked him
"At the library" david replied
"Yall have a library?" I laughed
"I mean.. knowledge comes first? Right" he said
I nodded
He led me all the way to the bottom floor, were there was a wine cellar
"You telling me these good bottles of wine have been here for years without anyone touching them?" I asked him as i grabbed a bottle of rose wine
"The cleaners that come here replace them, come on the library is up ahead" he replied.
I followed behind him, i dragged my finger across the wall picking up black dust and mud
"Why the fuck is it so dirty" i asked him
"You ask so many goddamn questions... cleaners arent allowed down here, jerome sealed this whole place to keep documents safe, i have access to the door"
There was a loud bang once david pulled the lock
I clenched my butt cheeks so hard as the sound sent me flying
We entered the library, it was the size of a janitors closet.
"Its so cramped up in here" i said as dust molecules were flying left, right and centre
"Well if you keep moving you gon' feel my dick in a second" david replied rolling his eyes
"You look on that side ill look here, anything that mentions diamantes negros dont hesitate to pick it up" he continued
This was hardly a library, it was more like a place were they stored forged papers amd shit.
I was wondering weather id find something that linked to my dad.
I saw a thick black book with old designs invading it, i opened it. The book had pages of nom stop writting.
I read the first page
"Dear diary
Today my baby boy David was taught how to fire a gun by his dad, his only 7 years old and as a mother ive failed my job, children are supposed to be nurtured i dont want him to be part of this lifestyle. But with the cash saved up that i have i am going to escape with all of my children, jericho, david my newborn twins and i will reuinite with my daughter Lisa who is in mexico with my mother! I should of listened to my family when they told me not to marry jerome. I hope they will forgive me, im willing to makeup for the mistakes i have made. I will carry my children to a better life even if it means killing jerome"
I gasped, this was Davids mom's diary.
And wait who the fuck was lisa did david have a sister who he didnt know of?
The diary entry came with a picture beneath it
It was davids big head ass. He looked so damn cute, i was wondering weather to show him this or not. I didnt want to hurt him but then again i had no right keeping it from him
"David.." i said
"Hmm?" He replied as he read some of the files in his hands
He looked, happier than usual. What if telling him his mom was planning an escape with them were she failed going to shatter him?
"Nothing" i said
I grabbed the black diary and hid it inside my jacket, right underneath my arm.
I guess things were best left unsaid.
"Come take a look at this" he said holding the flash light in his mouth
I stood behind his shoulder as i analyzed the papers in his hand
"June, year 97
Banks baxter introduced me to the leader of the diamantes negros.. the leader is an old friend of mine.
Year 2005
I heard my old accomplice got caught and was sent to a narcotic prison.
-an enemy is out the way
Good luck banks
December- i have killed the leader of the black vipers phillip ross one of my greatest accomplishments."
The writting went on and on.. what the fuck Jerome was a psycopath he kept track and date of all his victims he killed.
The list was uncomfortably large. It probably added up to an image of 5 massacres or more.
"Your dad alone killed this many people?" I said. Shivers going down my spine
"You clearly dont know my dad" david replied.
He grabbed a couple other files and turned the flashlight off
"Lets go we have what we need" he said
We walked our way back upstairs, my arm was glued to my side as i didnt want the book to fall out.
"Im going to head to the shower, i probably have cob webs all over me" i told david as i made my way inside my room
"Ight, im finna be with cassie amd show her these" he replied and left.
I wanted to read the rest of the diary. From the very start and to the very bottom. I had no right putting my nose in his family business but something inside of me kept screaming do it!
I locked the door so i wouldnt be disturbed.. or more not get caught red handed.
I opened the book and began reading
"Dear diary
Jeromes went to 'sort out some business' and left me and the kids at the lake house again, i dont know how much longer i can allow him to abuse me physically and mentally. I have a chance to break free and run with my children at this momemt but his body guards are crawling at every corner in this place.
Im worried though, jerome left with Jericho again. Just because his the oldest. Jericho is still my baby and as a mother i shouldnt be worriying weather my son will be dead because of his father each day they step foot out of the house!
If anything was to ever happen to me i blame Jerome because i have sworn to escape with my children. And nothing will stop me"
I was beyond bewildered. Would jerome possibly be capable of killing his wife?
"Dear diary
I have contacted my oldest friend. Denzel blacksmith. I told him about my situatiom and his going to help me and my children break free. I hate putting this pressure on him as denzel himself has a baby girl to take care of at home. I am beyond grateful for him."
And then the world just faded.
Davids mom knew my dad? And my dad was going to help her break free?
I had no words
It was far from reach of explanation
"Dear diary
Today is a day were im just ready to shut it all off. Im on the brink of killing myself but i have to keep on going i have to! For david.. zak...trey and my sweet Lisa.
There is no longer hope for jericho, he is ultimatley brainwashed by his father.
Today he told me "he wished he had a different mother" and i cant begin to tell you how much my heart shattered. Him and david began fighting, david pushed him off the stairs and Jerome slapped david and he attacked me because he blamed me for starting the fight between the kids. Like father like son."
Reading about Davids mom showed how much of a fighter and survivor she was. I wanted to meet this woman. I wanted to hug her and heal her scars.
This made the hate i had towards jerome feed on itself more and more
"I havent heard from my friend denzel in a while, he was supposed to help us escape from the grips of jerome this week and ever since last month he hasnt called or texted me back. I hope he is okay but i pray for myself more because i cant endure this no longer...."
Before i finished the page Alex began calling me.
This was a great moment for me to ask her about the stupid things milo was saying
"Alex?!" I said
"Hey" she replied
"Hows harlem" i asked
"Good, just a lil cold. And seattle?" She asked
"Girl, the food is lavish as fuck. I cant wait to bring you here" i laughed
"Yeah, so hey i wanted to speak to you about something" she said a little coldness in her voice
"If its about Milo or something please tell me its not true" i quickly said
She stopped talking.
